A brief history on these two characters from the game, is these two were caught in the middle of a war where they had to either be recruited, or.... else.
So while they were in captivation, it was up to them to take on missions that were coming up during the war. Nora bravely took one on and when the recruiter (Snow) asked her if she was sure, her statement was "Moms are tough". So they went in to a mission together, and she didn't make it out... so for the rest of the game, Hope was left traumatized yet had to work through it and help a team of heroes end the war. (Hence, the existence of Final Fantasy XIII, lol!)

Nora is crafted from a generation 1 Sweet Heart Sister pose.

Hope is crafted from a generation 3 Avon exclusive pony, which has a hard tail and looks just like a McDonald's pony, only is bigger and has the softer rubber of a regular sized generation 3 pony. I cut the tail off replaced it with pony hair.

Hope's original form:

It was quite interesting taking on that new kind of mlp base, but here are the results:

Blue shirt is bias tape detailed in rhinestones, lined in the ribbed sheer material. Broach accessory is leather with metal hoops, wire, rhinestones. Pink sash on the green sweater is a velvet ribbon material that I cut, detailed in brown ribbon.
