Daring Do & A.K Yearling: You're here!

Daring Do, or Arial Kick Yearling. I don't know yet which I believe is her real name and which is a pseudonym, and if her real name is A.K Yearling, she hides 'Arial Kick' behind the abbreviation.
In the Unique Style verse/my headcanon until explicitly stated otherwise, A.K Yearling is an Earth Pony. At least she pretends to be one. She wears her glasses not to correct her vision, but to hide the scars on the bridge of her snout, she wears a hat to cover up her torn ear, and her cloak disguises not only her wings, but her scars as well, and she wears gloves on her front hooves. The wings are hard to bind up, but if she didn't she'd be in danger, so it's a necessary evil. Her parents and a significant portion of her relatives all were Earth Ponies, so she has a lot more Earth Pony in her and her magic than she does Pegasus. It also means she's actually unusually large for a Pegasus, both in height but in stature and general physically thicker. She stands a little taller than Fluttershy, but her build is much more solid and gives off the impression of her being an Earth Pony. Her bones aren't as hollow as regular Pegasus wngs (because the wings aren't based on size, but on magic), and the thing about Pegasi bones is that their wings are generally built for breaking, at least in terms of recovery. They are hollow and brittle, but they heal very fast. On the other hoof, Earth Ponies can deal with broken limbs much easier than the other races, but aren't as fast at healing. It's why Daring Do's broken wings took a long time to heal. They aren't hollow and easy to repair, especially if you're supposed to be an Earth Pony, and fixing it up properly would mean blowing her cover. She has burns and scars all over her body, from all sorts of adventures.
On her design, I wanted to give her more of a build that was not so lithe and slim like Rainbow Dash's, as well as giving her aging and a sharper snout. She also has twice the amount of feathers in her wings, from RD's 6 to her 12.
Heavily inspired by :iconearthsong9405:'s style, especially with the tails and stuff. But I tried to make my own thing and shit.
Rules of the style?:
Unicorns all have cloven hooves with trailing fetlocks and tails unless they're a halfbreed, in which case, they can be born with a standard tail and hooves. They can also be born with chest and tail feathers if they're part pegasus
Alicorns have both tail feathers and unicorn tails and hooves, as well as earth pony strength.
Pegasi have feathers instead of fetlocks and have feathers on their chest and shoulders instead of fur. Feathers are the color of their mane. Halfbreeds can have feathered tails or chest feathers too or even non feathered chests and/or hooves (But all pegasi (halfbreed or not) have tail feathers.)
Hooves are the color of their eyes and horseshoes match their cutie mark's main color.
Cutie Markless ponies have grey horseshoes. Not silver (which contains blue) but just plain grey.
Ponies with unshorn fetlocks in canon (like Big Macintosh) keep their hoof colors from canon, but are rare exceptions to the rule.
