I've always loved the idea of qilins (or kirins) in mlp. They're essentially like "Chinese unicorns" which would make them soooooo perfect for the series.... unless they've already been brought in canonically. Wouldn't know, haven't been keeping up with it. 

Anyway, here are my two qilins!

Deep in the land of Wu Xing is the fabled Qilin Glades, a secret forest home to the rare and powerful qilins. The true extent of qilin magic is unknown, but they are well versed in healing and are known for having incredible luck and bringing good fortune to all around them. As a result, many grew greedy and sought to exploit the qilins luck-bringing abilities, causing them to go into hiding. Sadly, few remain to this day. Within the Glades lives two qilins, Lucky Streak and his little sister Double Happiness, or "Happy" for short. Recently, Lucky somehow attained a higher level of qilin magic, becoming a sage. Now, he seeks to study and learn more about his new abilities and rediscover the lost secrets of true qilin magic. Alongside him is his loving and energetic little sister, Happy. While Lucky is very hard working and scholarly, Happy dislikes studying and often encourages Lucky to take a break and have fun, though she can also be somewhat naive and oblivious to danger. She was named Double Happiness for her incredible optimism and positive attitude and she miraculously always seems to get out of any dangerous situation without a scratch (likely a manifestation of her luck magic). Lucky prefers to be addressed as Streak, but allows his sister to call him by his childhood nickname. 

As qilins age, their horns, whiskers and manes all grow larger and longer, resulting in more magical power as well.

Qilins are known to represent/bring good fortune and luck, so I found it fitting if their names and cutie marks reflected this. "Lucky Streak" derives from the phrase and his cutie mark is the Chinese character for luck. Happy is named after the Chinese character that makes up her cutie mark, literally meaning "double happiness". Originally, I was going to name her Lucky Star and have "Lucky" be like a family name (surnames go first in Chinese), but I found that a minor background pony was called Lucky Star so that was out.
