Description Contrary to popular belief, I can draw, I just have no way to scan any of my pictures. The only reason why I was able to upload this one is because I took a picture of my drawing and than edited it on GIMP which takes...ages...literally. I'm saving up for an art tablet though, so you can actually expect some pictures drawn by me in the future instead of just cosplay! I think she turned out pretty good, but eh. It was a quick drawing and I'm not expecting applause. I just wanted to share my OC with you guys since well I made her forever ago, and I haven't told anyone about her. Moving right along...

Meet the lovely: Micro Boom - "I swear to Luna, I may be a damn bat pony, but I fit in with them about as well as a fucking donkey would."

A rambunctious rebel at birth, Micro never took any interest in leaving the Everfree forest when recruiters came to her encampment to hire bat ponies for Luna's personal guard. Her desire to entertain was far more prominent in her childhood. While other fillies trained to become soldiers, Micro took up late night comedy. She always wanted to be a force to be reckoned with on stage, but with little to no comedic talent amongst her peers, Micro began to be laughed at. Her very name became a source for ridicule. When her cutie-mark appeared in the form of the very thing that destroyed her confidence, Micro grew bitter and hid her mark in shame. Determined to regain her lost dignity amongst her people, Micro joined the Lunar guard giving up on her dream once and for all. Within a matter of months, Micro had gained the respect of her superiors and was on the path to becoming a captain of the night watch. Within years she was a proud leader, but greatly feared. Her voice only echoed bitterness, and her own unit wouldn't approach her unless necessary. She was unhappy. Rumors spread that she didn't even have a cutie mark. She never showed her flank. Soon an incident occurred between Micro and one of her soldiers that lead her to be suspended from the Lunar Guard. Leaving in a huff, Micro said that she wouldn't be returning after her suspension was up. Rather than going back to the Everfree forest, Micro remained in Canterlot, trying to find her way elsewhere. She became absorbed with the party life,  and could be found at the club or bar nearly every night. She finally one night decided to apporach the local comedy club in a nostalgic haze. After a few drinks, she found herself volunteering for a shot on stage amongst other acts. Each act was given two minutes to prove their comedic talent. Being the only bat pony present in the club, Micro was the source of whispers and rumors among the crowd once she stepped into the spotlight. Officilly fed up with being misjudged and humilated, Micro went off on a tangent the moment she approached the mic. Within moments she had the audience roaring in laughter. Suddenly brimming with confidence, Micro continued to woo the crowd with her wit and sense of humor for the duration of her time. When she was finally dismissed from the stage the crowd was roaring for an encore. Convinced that it was the acohol in her system that had led her to hallucinate the laughs, Micro stumbled her way off stage only to be approached by the head of the comedy club. Blown away by her performence, the big boss offerred her to perform again the next night. Micro was thrown back into reality with his proposal, and was at a loss for words. Had other ponies actually found her funny? Since when was she funny? All the other bat ponies found her excrutiatingly bland. Hell, unless she was making a joke about Princess Celestia or the captains of the Night Watch, no bat pony even spared her a giggle. When had she gained the ability to entertain? She didn't even care to answer her own questions, all she could do was gawk at the owner until she finally said yes. That was the beginning of her career as a comedian and entertainer amongst the bustling nightlife of Canterlot. Within a year's worth of work, Micro Boom had become a name known throughout Canterlot, ponyville, and many other cities throughout Equestria. Bat ponies shared her story, and laughed amongst each other at how one of the most revered captains of the Night Watch could become a source for nothing but laughs amonst other species. While they laughed at the irony and lack of talent that was Micro Boom in a nutshell, the rest of Equestria applauded her as she gained her new position as Late Night Radio host of MaresMoon Network.

If you didn't feel like reading the excrutiatingly long backstory, here's a summary:
Micro Boom is a late night radio host who was a source of ridcule among her own people, but later discovered that she was comedic gold according to other species. To bat ponies...she SUCKS. She was a terrifying Night Watch captain that abandoned her duties only to recieve fame for her supposed "humor". To Earth ponies, pegasi, and unicorns alike,  she's brilliant.  

Age: roughly 26 in human years.
Hat: Does the hat she wears have a backstory? Maybe...
Lipstick: Why the vibrant pink? Let's just say she's a massive Pinkie Pie fan even thought she's never met the bundle of laughter (or is it that she happens to enjoy neon colors after her clubbing escapades? You decide.)
White hair? How?: How the fuck would she know? Her Dad has white hair, ask him.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask! I'm so happy I'm finally able to share her with you guys!  

As always, keep kicking ass guys!

if you're looking for an art tablet that get's the job done and isn't too pricey I'd suggest the Wacom Bamboo. I have one and it's not the most crazy "holy shit I can do everything" kinda tablet but it's give you enough to get your point across
