Description

Meet Marvelous Mira the Earth Pony.

She's my candidate for #Equestria-Girls's design-a-mascot contest.

EDIT: I won first place in the contest! Marvelous Mira is now officially the mascot of :iconequestria-girls:! 8D

Now, I know they didn't ask for rationale, and it wouldn't count for anything extra, but as a design student, I was taught to always put some thought into why we make the design. So, here it goes~

First off, she is a simple Earth pony because it's always good to go with basics. Alicorns are too prestigious to be played around with, and if I use a unicorn or pegasus, it'd kind of be unfair to the other un-chosen species.
So, anyway, her cutie mark is a hoof-mirror, and it is designed in a such a way so that it resembles the female (♀).
It represents her special talent in seeing the beautiful side of anypony.
Also, she is pretty and she likes to stay that way. However, her cutie mark does not mean she is extremely vain; just a little bit, though (Come on, admit it, we all do that). Really, she's not mean at all, as you can see from her energetic prance and cheerful smile. In fact, she loves to have fun all the time!
I chose the colours cream and soft rose pink because I think they are quite sweet and represents femininity quite fabulously.
Finally, her name Mira is simply a play on the word 'mirror' and she is marvelous because SHE IS. :iconcoolguyshadesplz: ...Plus, it makes a suitable mascot's name.

All in all, I think she is perfect as a mascot for #Equestria-Girls. I really do hope I win, not because I want the prizes, but because I really would like to see my design being used as an official mascot for a group of pegasisters. Gosh, that'd be mighty amazing. :3

Do comment and tell me your thoughts! Do you think I'm right? Should Marvelous Mira indeed win the role, or not?


Additional:
After WhiteFox on Ponychan mentioned that Marvelous Mira sounds so Mary Sue-ish, I just have some things to add now. She is not a Mary Sue. She is specifically based off of my best friend, whose name is also Mira, and she has the same hairstyle. I might even say this should be her ponysona, and not a mere mascot contest entry.

She might seem like Mary Sue-material because of her perfectly good looks and all, but she's not like one of those popular bitches at all! She hangs out with castaways like me, instead. She is not evil, but very kind, in fact. She can be annoying when she talks super fast and changes topic without warning, but that's also one of the reasons why I love her. It's just her silly personality. Not only that, she's rather naive and I always end up protecting her from the boys that kept flirting with her.

So, no, she is not a Mary Sue. Just defending myself and both Mira's here.
