Bio
The eldest son of Rarity and Spike, Ivory is the first recorded instance of a dragon-pony hybrid in Equestrian history, making him the target of many maaaany scientific studies on how the heck he exists. This caused his family to bounce between Canterlot and Ponyville a lot when he was young, though when the frenzy died down, his family settled back in Ponyville. He runs a multi-purpose gem business with Bolide and Gypsum, though he usually focuses on making sculptures out of the precious stones. He uses his fire breath to mold the gems into elaborate shapes that the upper society goes nuts for, though he isn't above using other materials for sculpting.
Ivory is extremely tall, nearly standing eye to eye with Princess Celestia. He used to be self conscious about this fact, though he mostly takes it in strike now. On the surface, he seems like a suave business stallion who knows how to sell wares, though in reality he is a huge dork who gets rather excited over the littlest of things. In sharp contrast to his mother, he's rather greedy, usually finding ways to receive the things he wants. Despite this, he's what you might call unbearably naive, not really understanding implications or intricacies of conversation.
Relationships
Along with being his co-workers, Bolide and Gypsum are Ivory's best friends, and can often be seen at his side. As he usually misses most of Gypsy's sarcastic quips, he's a touch closer to Bolide, with whom he shares an affinity for fine art with. Gypsum is more like a surrogate big sister to him, despite the fact that's he's both older and taller than she, for she's fiercely protective of him whenever she's not snarking, since he really doesn't get that not everypony has the best intentions.
Ambrosia is Ivory's kryptonite, almost exactly how his mother was to his father. They've been friends for ages, and often collaborate on things with one another, but while she isn't too terrible interested in a possible relationship, he's head over hooves in love. He feels like she can understand how it feels to not really fit in, and never really viewed him as that one weird dragon horse, and just as Ivory, a friend. Only Bolide and Gypsum know of this crush, and he recruits them once in a while to try and come up with ways to woo her, to mixed results.
Talent
Ivory's cutie mark (which most ponies were not expecting to exist) is of a gem and flame, reflecting his talent of molding gems with his fire to create masterpieces.
