Ponynesian Princess of Paisley

GODS, why did I stop fiddling with my pony OC in MLP style? 

Alright, I wanted to do a breed sheet for the Paisleys and this is going to be part of it. Ukulele Moon in her updated colors. No medieval Ukulele because this is the MLP "Cannon" style. 

I was trying to think of different ways to set the Paisleys apart from the rest of Equestria. Think of Paisley kind of like Australia. The ponies on this Island developed much differently because of isolation (before it became a tourist trap.)

This is intended to be a "powered-up" form of Ukulele, perhaps having an interaction with Pele and actually having some kind of unicorn magic. The palette is based on the Version 3.0 Ukulele found here the next level... I also saw a great HaRPG breed named Tintenwolke-Horse and asked the gracious creator of the breed Kawisaurus if it would be alright if I based the mane of the Paisleys on the same idea. I wanted the manes and tails to look like lava which fits a tropical pony. They'd probably flow a lot like the the alicorn Princesses we've known so much about.

I was going to give her a fang but it didn't look good on the base. Paisleys have canines because they EAT MEAT. Yup, not other ponies or anything like the Zenyus, just fish. Usually prepared as sushi. The reasoning behind this is there was once not enough vegetation on the island to support them so they evolved to be able to eat fish as well as the strange fruits that morphed their coats. They learned how to fish by watching the sacred Pink dolphins that were created by the Goddess Pele. The pink dolphins are also companions to some Paisley fisherman.

I'm planning on having Ukulele's old coat color and eye color change significantly when she has an interaction with Pele in Paisley Tales. Old coat color is still relevant and good for either interpretation of her. I was also playing with the idea that the Paisleys may have scaley coats with some fur, feeling of velvet. Was going for a Marine Iguana idea from the Galapagos island.

I wanted to keep her bangs too. I tried a few hair styles, but I love bangs. I have some bangs myself and I'd like to keep her looking original (not a Twi recolor as much) but also somewhat familiar. I think she's grown past this. Oh for crying out loud, if Moondancer wasn't a gigantic recolor, but I digress...
