You say that as if there is no correlation between appearance and character.



Look at these characters and tell me that one's appearance does not reflect one's personality.

Bearing in mind my previous points, it all comes down to this.


 * Alicorn characters automatically set the bar impossibly high for themselves because the only canon Alicorns are the princesses


 * Alicornhood is a telltale sign of an original character who cannot feel special by any means other than the "badge" of both wings and a horn


 * If one is unwilling to drop either the wings or the horn for the sake of the character's interest value, then one is a bad writer who sacrifices quality for wish fulfillment; see the bad art speech above

And that is why it is despicable for an OC to have the capabilities of both a Pegasus and a unicorn. It is an indicator of bad art.
