> **Name: **Kevin
> Age: 28
> **Gender: **Male
> Special Talent and Cuteymark: Taking care of exotic animals, a green winged snake.
> **Work: **Owns a pet store that specializes in selling/raising exotic pets and necessaries.
> Personality: Gentle and kind, smart but a bit of a loner. Kevin is a very sensitive and anxious pony, because of this he prefers to not engage in too many social events. He either prefers to be on his own, with 1 or 2 close friends or the animals from his exotic pet shop, who are like family to him. He knows allot about the animals and would love to share his knowledge but talking is simply not that easy for him, although it's one of the easiest things for him to talk about. Kevin usually need some time to warm up to pony, but as soon as he is used to them and they actually manage to become his friend, he's an incredibly sweet and supporting friend who will talk allot more than your used from him. Kevin is also very busy, always running around, doing his chores, feeding his animals etc. this guy can not stand still for long as long as there are still chores to be done.
> **Appearance: **Kevin is an earthpony with as main coat colour; a warm brown, with slightly lighter fur on his belly, lower jaw and just above his hooves. He has a few little birthmarks on his behind, should and just below his eye, but all of these are only on his right side. (Visible on the left side of the drawing). He has green eyes and very very light green hair, almost white. He wears glasses, because of bad sight. His cuteymark is a light green winged snake, with white eyes and wings.
> When simplification his design, for a vector, different style, plush etc. his birthmarks and lighter colours in coat aren't visible, he das have a very light gradient just about his hooves and the light part of his fur on his face, becomes a straight marking that goes from his lower jaw and connects to his eye and stops in front of his ear/under his mane.
> **About:
> -Kevin has a Specialized-Vet diploma but decided to not start working as a vet full time, because he couldn't mentally take it. After this he also took a class in building your own company and started slowly building his own Specialized Pet store called "Canterlot Exotic Pet-Shop".
> -Kevin comes from a upper class Earthpony family. However Kevin doesn't really have a good bond with his family. Kevin being the oldest child often had to endure the pressure from his parents pushing him to become somepony important or "relevant" as they would call it. His father being the owner of a big company, didn't give him allot of attention in general and when he did, it was usually about his school results. His mother, also being a business pony, tried to learn him how to be a good successor to the company they had created. But though all her efforts Kevin just did not turn out to be a pony made to do business. He would get nervous when trying to talk to somebody into buying something to the point of freezing up, felt uncomfortable and panicky around bigger groups of pony and generally hated and could not do public speaking. Because of this, his mother tried her best to find a way to relieve Kevin from his "Pony-problems"/"Just not being social enough" to make him the pony she wanted him to be. Pushing him too hard to get out of his comfort zone. After Kevin's condition only got worse, by him suffering more and more from, what seemed to be panic-attacks, they decided it was time for him to go to Therapy, "Maybe they could talk some sense into him".
> While their intentions were wrong, taking Kevin to therapy turned out to be a very needed and good idea. It turned out Kevin had Social Anxiety and was showing signs of depressing as well. The Therapist was one of the first pony in his life that actually seemed to understand Kevin well and their office became a safe environment for Kevin where he could open up about his feelings once in a while. The therapist was also the pony that convinced Kevin to tell his parents the truth about him wanting to work with animals instead of inheriting the company, and even suggested that if it were to go wrong, she would have a place for Kevin to stay.
> This did not go wrong, but his parents were shocked and disappointed. However while they did not agree with his decision, they still wanted their son to be happy and told him he could start applying to schools or jobs that he wanted to apply to and not very long after this he applied to the Veterinary school of Hooferdam (I dunno) and Graduated 5 years later.
> -Because Kevin is much more in his element now, with his animals, he became a much better sales pony. Al through instead of using tricks, fake smiles etc. his approach is just to be friendly, helpfull and honest to pony and this is usually very much appreciated.
> -Kevin still visits the same therapist and suffers allot less from his former problems.
> -In in need, Kevin still functions as a vet at the animal hospital, but this is usually only is very busy periods.
> -Kevin also doesn't have a special-somepony and only a few friends/employees, when you are as busy as Kevin, you don't really have time for making friends… he could make time, but he prefers the company of his animals. Him not talking much also doesn't really help.
> -While Kevin is a bit shy, when taking out of his roll as pet-shop owner, Kevin is no doormat, especially when matters concern his animals . When you are being a rude or a danger to his animals, he will ask you politely to leave and if that doesn't work, he will literally shove you out of his store. Kevin is allot stronger than he looks, especially around the shoulder and front legs. (dragging a snake around most of the day also has it's + points haha)
> -Kevin is good friends with Joa. Joa got his pet-bird at Kevins shop and while Kevin was rather laid back at first, it didn't take long for the two to bond over animals and become friends. Joa usually visits Kevin's home/shop at night as Kevin would not be able to handle getting attention from paparazz or Fans of Joa in any way.
> **Likes: Snakes/Reptilians, Birds (owls/fenix being his favourite), Summer, Flowers/plants, Warmth, Rain (On warm days)
> Dislikes: Big Crowds, Apple Juice, Cold days, Rude Pony.
> Pet: **His snake and Owl-Tabby are called: **Dastan and Foof [romyvdhel-art.deviantart.com/a…](https://romyvdhel-art.deviantart.com/art/PET-Foof-y-Reference-597185803). Dastan is very close to Kevin and never leaves his side althrough he can be a liitle mischievous. Dastan is a rare, winged snake (who have some of the same ancestors as dragons) althrough you won't always notice this, because his wings are often hidden. Foof is a rather stereotypical lazy but mischievous owl-cat who often makes weird bird-like noises.
