Wave Runner
This is a Sunshine Pony with a strip of
frizzy white hair that becomes pink with UV exposure.
There are, however, two interesting
features that make this pony special: 1) the fact his main colors are
complementary, and 2) his symbols: seahorses.
He is magenta and green, two colors
labeled as complementary, because they create a strong contrast and
reinforce each other; and when combined in the right proportions,
they produce a neutral color. There's yet another interesting fact:
these colours are each other's negative color. This means if we
invert the pony's colors as a photographic negative, we'll realize
the body's color becomes the hair color, and vice-versa. Here are the pictures for the
original and the reverse:
This pony likes to shift between
alternate realities, yet keeping the same colors.
The symbols are seahorses, in other
words, several green and yellow simplified representations of
hippocampi. The hippocampus is also known to be an anatomic
subdivision of the brain, belonging to the limbic system and crucial
to the processing of memory. Wave Runner's symbols aren't there by
chance. They exist to remind us that we shouldn't forget seahorses,
because we've got them in our brains.
Wave Runner's seahorses are on his
body. He doesn't have a hippocampus inside his hollow head. We do.
