Her name is βέλος φέρουν, which is greek for "flying arrow" But βέλος φέρουν is pronounced Vélos Féroun. :/

Nope, just researched greek words for arrow.

this is an awesome backstory and a very clever idea. I believe the idea of the blind warriors has been passed through all forms of history and a blind pony is even cooler. I would hate to see what happens to anypony that crosses her the wrong way.

One question... how the fuck does an Earth Pony use a bow?

Stupid guessing: Velos sounds much like Velocity (speed). Feroun - fero = steel. Arrows has steel in their construction./ok, i fail Greek and Latin forever.
But logically her name should be connected with what she does. So she's either "Fast shooter (archer)" or "Fast arrow" given her "Robin Hooves" start in the story?

She looks cool. There's something so very bad-ass about a blind character that can kick your ass.

Whenever I think "Greek" and "Archery", the only thing that links the two in my mind is the goddess Aretmis... Which is cool.
Anyway, I like this pony. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on her development.

I like the interpretation here, it's not her eyes that are opaque, but her coat and mane that have that bland, gray look. However, I can only keep seeing the original here (Rainbow Dash), as hard as I try. Good stuff though, I like it.

Is that new Greek? I only know old Greek...
β in old Greek is just a b so i think it's different...
I don't know that many words ^^

I saw the animation you made of her practising her archery and my inner wolf ears perked up in interest. Seeing and reading this, I can honestly say that I cannot wait for the comic to be started. Definitely keeping my eyes peeled for it. :3

Well, Seeing as how I don't speak Greek, I looked up what it meant. And honesty, I should have seen that coming...
Good concept.

Very cool looking character here. I still haven't been able to decide on pretty much anything for an OC I wanted to make for awhile.

This is an amazing pony. Velos Feroun... I can't figure it out what it means. Is it Russian I think?

Kelanich In reply to DestinyDecade [2012-03-15 01:53:02 +0000 UTC]
More likely Latin.
Anyway, why we don't just use Google Translate?
Okay... It's a Greek, in English it means "Flying Arrow".
Well, quite suitable name for this... creature.

Being a pegasus wouldv'e made her slightly Mary Sue, and Being an unicorn would've defeated the purpose of the blindness, she could just use magic and stuff.
An alicorn? Never.

I prefer an earth pony. Earth Ponies suit me better. That's how I got to make Rob Stallion. He can kick butt and has special talents.

3 feet is a very large arrow for a pony. That pretty much almost as tall as her, especially considering the size of her bow.
