Overview: Spike about a head shorter than a full-grown pony, and only taller than a filly if his namesake head "spikes" count. He is quite round, likely still having quite a bit of "baby fat" (or just too much Ice Cream, don't tell Twilight) and has a pair of short, dextrous claws. He has big, green eyes, and a pair of finlike ears, occasionally, a pair of fangs are barely visible, hanging over his bottom lips. Many rounded green spikes flow down his spine, ending in a spaded tail.


Personality[/font][/size]

Personality Description: Spike is, at his core, still a baby, especially so by dragon standards. Naturally, he is very childish in nature. He does his best to be good... but that only goes so far. He's not afraid to go behind someone's back to do something for himself (though he dreads the consequences). As a dragon, he does his best to control his greedy tendencies (which is a bit easier, thanks to certain instances).

But as bad as he can be, he is good at heart. He is desperate for everyone's approval, and cares about them immensely. He makes sure to go out of his way to make others happy and is always willing to help, from being Twilight's #1 assistant, to helping any pony in town with anything he can. He craves their approval, and gets very upset if he does something to upset someone else, often resorting to drastic measures.

• Thumbs in a world of hooves
  
• Direct contact with Celestia
  
• Dragonfire
  
• Gemstone connoisseur (YUM!)

Magical Specialty/Abilities: Dragonfire, sending & receiving letters directly from Celestia


History[/font]

History: Between the time his egg was laid, and he was hatched... is a mystery. Spike was hatched during a powerful magical mishap by Twilight Sparkle during her entrance exam for Canterlot's school of magic. Rainbow Dash's first sonic rainboom triggered a rush of energy through Twilight, turning him into somewhat of a magical anomaly... Thankfully, Celestia was able to correct the situation... mostly. Spike still isn't quite like other dragons.

In the next few years, he obviously couldn't be left in the care of a young filly, so Celestia took the job of raising Spike. He was too young to remember most of it, he simply remembers her being about as nurturing as she was busy, taking on a bit of a "mother figure" role in his mind. Likewise, Twilight was constantly visiting him, especially since she was studying as Celestia's pupil, and would always play with the infant dragon. She became like an older sister to him, and eventually moved to live with her when she was old enough. Spike became her faithful assistant, even more so after she moved to Ponyville and took up the position of Librarian.

During his time in Ponyville, Spike was constantly learning about friendship though having to write letters for everypony, and through a few lessons himself, like an incident where he came face-to-face with his innate dragon urge of greed... and again when he tried to discover what it means to be a dragon (during which, he got his pet Phoenix hatchling, Peewee) and learned that it was better to consider himself one of the ponies than a dragon. He even found himself almost immediately having a crush on the most beautiful mare he'd ever laid eyes on, Rarity. But SHHH! he's been doing his best to keep it a secret from everypony, and the only ones who know have Pinkie-Pie-Promised not to tell anypony. He's determined to win her over one day, though. To this day, he's always faithfully at the side of Twilight, as well as the rest of her friends.

Roleplay Sample:
Spike didn't have too many days off. Sure, he could have asked Twilight and gotten one, but that wasn't what a #1 assistant did! No, he made sure to take care of all of his chores ahead of time (no matter how many times Twilight wanted to re-re-reorganize the library.) And he was finally free for the day, and had someone with him today. Peewee, the phoenix hatchling seemed intent on coming with him today, and had perched himself on Spike's tallest head spike, comically just out of his reach, not that he minded too much.

"...and over there is Sugarcube Corner, where they bake all kinds of cakes and sweets. You'll meet Pinkie Pie soon enough, down that road leads to Sweet Apple Acres, where Applejack works." He pointed up in the sky. "I think I just saw Rainbow Dash fly by. Do you remember her? Oh... wait, you hadn't hatched yet... Anyway, you'll meet everypony soon enough... And over there" Spike could feel himself swooning just by looking over at the Carousel Botique. "That's where Rarity lives..." A peck on the top of his head brought him back to reality.

"Ow! Hey!" He tried to peer up at the firechick to show his annoyance, only to jostle the bird even more, who chirped and squacked in annoyance. "Trust me... you'll love her" He gets that dreamy look in his eyes as he starts to drift off into a mental fantasy... "I know I do..." Another peck on the head. "OW! Okay, okay... back to the tour of Ponyville..."
