Character Description
elle de Mer ('Beautiful Sea' in native Fancy) is a foreign pirate pony from Prance! She actually plays to the stereotype and is unabashedly elegant despite her less-than-elegant profession.

She has a winsome smile and a mirthful gleam to the eye. Full of charm and humor she's likely to introduce herself with, "Je suis belle, n'est-ce pas?"
Personality
Adventurous, swashbuckler
Background/History
Like most Prench ponies she has a more slender and taller body type than your average Equestrian mare. A form closer to an alicorn's proportions. (The pony equivalent of being 'leggy'). The smooth racer's lines certainty lend to the impression that this pony could artfully trot just about anywhere and make it look like part of one long graceful dance. On her perky athletic flank her cutie is a Fleur-de-lis flanked by coins. Well people do often say the other name for pirates are treasure seekers. Even if such treasures are in the coffers of other ships or in the vaults of casinos.
Body
One wouldn't think of a mare who spends time on ships to have a coat so well brushed, the brown burnished to a luxuriant chestnut by the sun. Not to mention her mane, oh her mane! The hair there is even finer brushed and molded lovingly into golden ringlets. Not just blond, but gilded sparkling ringlets that is all the more striking under lighting. The sweep of mane obscures one eye on the side, letting the other skyblue eye peek out coquettishly under long lashes.
Clothing
If fresh from the ship she'd be wearing tall leather boots on all four hooves matched with a blue corsair's coat. The hem on which goes over her rump like a cloak with shined brass buttons matched with a ruffled white cravat at the neck. Though those are work clothes. It is more likely to see her simply with a beret and scarf. The hat bouncing on her curls and pushed to a jaunty angle by her horn rising in front.
Accessories
A pearl necklace like those worn by the hippogriffs, found in a treasure chest lets her transform between the three forms.
