Today I entered my first name, and...

"Cristiano is a sand unicorn pony with red hair, a rain theme, and twice as fancy symbols."

Woow!!!

Certainly G3 Daisy Paisley for Iran!

And G3 Cherry Blossom (or Cheerilee) for Japan, of course!

I wouldn't know for my country; mmm ... I'm from Italy. Perhaps G3 Tira-Mi-Su could be fine because she is called like the italian dessert! But, in that case, her symbol should be intended as a cup of italian coffee, not tea (also because Tiramisu dessert is made with coffee!)

Many thanks, Gabborul ^_^ Of course the classic style is super!!

Hi, Welcome!! ^_^

Hi, welcome to the herd!

Well, this is kind of cheating because I drew her for my Tea & Choc holiday swap box in November/December, but here's Sunny Daze. ^__^ (I usually try to avoid posting old artwork for these as it kind of defeats the purpose of a monthly prompt, but this was too recent and I haven't shared her here yet.)

Let's see if I can draw Minty or Confetti later!

Beautiful artwork!! 

using a source of sunlight is a safer alternative to stains.
Wrap the pony up in foil and expose only the stained area, check every few days.

Thanks for your advice! I haven't tried sunfading because sometimes this process has tragically yellowed other ponies of my collection!  (for example Coconut Grove... Maybe a strange reaction because she's a perfumed pony?)
Of corse I always use foil in order to protect the pony's body. Actually, I read on MLP Preservation Project site that aluminum foil can have a yellowing effect on the vinyl, so I generally wrap the pony in paper towel and then in foil, and expose only the stained area.

Hydrogen peroxide works by breaking down the chemical structure of the dye, so you don't have to worry about it re-coloring the pony even if it dries out. 40 volume is quite strong for peroxide, so I'm a little surprised you didn't have more dramatic results. It could very well be that your cream has degraded in strength over time.

UV light acts as a catalyst for hydrogen peroxide, so setting Skywishes in the sun with the cream on would serve to boost the efficiency, but do be careful and check her often, especially if you use fresh peroxide. A little staining is better than bleached-out spots in my opinion! As a rule of thumb in terms of pony bodies, lavenders and blues bleach easiest, then pinks and greens, then orange and yellow. For example, it takes a lot less to bleach Seashell than Bubbles, so it's important to tailor the aggressiveness of your stain-removal techniques.

Also, there are a bunch of technical factors that go into determining how fugitive (fade-able) a stain can be. (Photo- vs chemical oxidation, dyes vs pigments, organic vs inorganic, azo vs carbonyl molecular bonds, etc.) It's a balancing act of a lot of potential variables, so unfortunately there's no single panacea that is best in all situations. Things would be a lot easier if there were!

Many Thanks for your scientific support BlushingBlue!   

It's true, the result is always different, and depends on the cases. Sometimes sunfading works well, sometime it makes damages. The same applies to hydrogen peroxide.

Well, I'll try with sunfading + hydrogen peroxide, but for a very short time (2 or 3 days)… I will let you know the results!

Thanks for your advises, BlushingBlue! (Minty's socks are a solution to all world problems!  )
I added photos as you suggested. I tried with hydrogen peroxide on the leg in the first pic. It's a 40 vol. oxidizing emulsion cream for human hair. The stain has not disappeared, but has become a halo, unlike the stain in the second photo. Perhaps it happened because I should have removed the cream before it dried out, so I would have removed the yellow color too. Perhaps, if the cream dries, the color returns in the pony's body? Probably it's a stupid question. Please, don't laugh at me! 
Moreover, the cream I own is quite old. Perhaps if I use a brand new product like this, I'll get a better result?

Just going on what you've said, in this particular instance I would be wary of sunfading. The yellow dye is probably more lightfast than Skywishes' pink body, and there's a good chance of bleaching out some of her natural color before the yellow disappears. It's your call whether or not you want to risk it. Maybe the yellow marks bother you more than Skywishes having a lighter body color.

I haven't tried sunfading yet. Someone can tell me if sunfading + hydrogen peroxide is a good or a bad idea?
I can wrap the pony in paper towel to avoid problems, leaving only the affected areas exposed.
What do you think?
Thank you anyways!
