Neural Network My Little Ponies

Scientist Janelle Shane‏ trained a neural network on the names and attributes of My Little Ponies. 
"I used a program called a character-level recurrent neural network (char-rnn), which looks at examples of text (Pokemon, or Harry Potter fan fiction, or even guinea pig names) and learns to imitate them. I gave the neural network more than 1,500 names from My Little Pony Friendship is Magic Wiki, and let it start learning."
The resulting list of names is pretty amusing. Some sound very realistic to the MLP world, and some, well, don't.

Knowing that the ponies physical characteristics match their name and personality (the symbol on their hind, their mane, their eyes, colors, accessories, etc.) You will be designing one of the neural network generated ponies in Photoshop.

Your finished pony should have a name and if you like, a short description of it. 

I have included a variety of blank bodies and eyes for you to download here:
