Chapter 37: Reversal 'Rev' Smurf ♂️
Gender: Male.
Special Trait: Animal riding/training.
Job(s): ???
Appearance: Vanity but younger, with his flower on the opposite side, and with a brown backpack that he's always holding the strap of (as a replacement for Vanity's mirror).
Relatives: Vanity Smurf (older 'brother' and accidental creator)
Shipped With: ???
Age Bracket: Older Smurfling.
AKA: Reflection/Ytinav/Reverse/Mirror Smurf.
Eventually he goes by Ryder after discovering his talent for training and riding a variety of animals.
Vanity's reflection brought to life and 'little brother'.
He has a habit of talking/moving backwards, though he learns how to act/speak normally over time, even though it remains easier for him to work backwards. He is dominant in the opposite hand than Vanity.
Though not nearly as vain as his creator, he does care about his appearance a great deal and gets overly upset when bruised or dirtied.
He is one of Dreamy's crew. While traveling across the world, he learns about horses, designs a rabbit-sized saddle, and finds his Thing.
Sometimes he has nightmares of becoming a reflection again, and he tends to avoid mirrors because of this. He maybe doesn't have a reflection of his own, I haven't decided yet.
He is extremely protective over his backpack and especially of the saddle blueprints/sketches he keeps inside, nothing breaks through his composure so fast as it getting damaged does.
He is extremely close to Equilibrist, Glider, Feral, Haberdasher, and Cheshire. He is the leader of their friend group, nicknamed 'Chief' by the others. This is due to his introspective nature, ability to recognize others' strengths and how best to use them, and his genuinely very kind and contagiously upbeat personality.
He believes strongly in self-love, not just in himself but in others — learning that someone, especially someone he cares for, doesn't like something about themselves genuinely horrifies him. Cracking a self-deprecating joke around him will immediately result in hugs and relentless affirmations of beauty/care/specialness/etc.
He doesn't swear often, but when he does it's like a sailor. This is because of a combination of sharing most of Vanity's Smurflinghood memories (Vanity is adept at insulting others) and living with Dreamy's crew of sorta-sailors for five years.
He was accidentally created when Vanity was still a Smurfling, and still looks exactly like Vanity did on that day — he won't age until his actual years-lived catches up to his biological age.

I recently looked at the lost village again Smurf and Willow have teal colored eyes
He doesn't have an eye color or is it unknown?
I haven't decided his eye color yet.
Thanks for commenting, it's nice to know people are actually reading this 😄
Your welcome!
"and for that Clumsy decided he was his now.*
I love this discrimination! I love how well you balanced out his character, and gave him flows, well still being a really interesting Smurf!
I'd make him the bro of Harmony, maybe?
How would one go about riding a bat..? Lol
Ooooh, I like it!
If make him Dreamy's brother!
Wait, are his arms actually white, or does he wear gloves?
"He disappeared into the forest one Halloween and came back... different."
He's not actually a ghost, right..?
Um... Yes and no?
He's not a ghost, he's not actively dead.
I can't decide if he really did die and came back to life or not, but something definitely happened to change him in a major way, so...
...okay fine I made a ghost Smurf. But one that's reborn instead of dead!
"She and Jokey had little choice in becoming mushroommates, and each tried to run the other out... via a quickly escalating series of pranks that completely disregarded any sense of safety or sanity whatsoever." CUUUTE! 😍
"THIS IS A CANON SMURF THAT I JUST MADE BETTER, SEARCH IT."
😂 😂 😂
I love this! I had never heard of this Smurf, did you invent?
Also, HANGGLIDING?!?, is that how that's spelled??? That is the worst use of double G the English language has ever come up with! 😂
"He can talk to snakes. He really likes snakes. Most Smurfs do not like snakes. He does not care." 😆😆😆
"He can hypnotize anysmurf. He likes hypnotizing Smurfs and making them dance."
WTF 😂
😍 😍😍 I love this! He's amazing! He needs a proper bookie romance! Maybe with Brainy, lol. Or Clueless/Oblivious Smurf?
Aren't Doctor and Dabbler different Smurfs?
Not anymore! 😜
Oooh! You should ship him him Glow Smurf!
Which Smurf is your favorite?
Brainy, with Jokey as a very close second. Why do you ask? Oh, and what's your favorite? :)
Brainy Smurf
He's one of the best 😊
Fear her, for she is queen of the hives! (Dramatic lightning flash and ominous buzzing)
This is my favorite description of anything/one EVER 😂😂😂
Oooh! Interesting curse idea! 💡
Language battles? 🤨
Appearance: PIRATE - 😂😂😂😂😂
(unless that Smurf just so happens to be Haberdasher, of course).
I SHIP IT!!!
Ooooh, what type of spider?
I love the pun 😍
Shouldn't he have a firefighter hat? 🤨
One day he got bored, started whittling, and accidentally became a cobbler. The end.
😂 😂 😂
Why wooden shoes?
...in my defense, I was really tired when I posted his profile XD
The wooden shoes are technically canon, tho
⚡⚡⚡
Special Trait: Moving dust from one area to another. 😂😂 😂
occasional baby sitter/nanny. 🤨 ...MARY POPPINS AND BERT, THE CHIMNEY SWEEP'S SON???? 😍
Persnickety - Pennyworth??? Heya Al!!!
This comment has made me decide to commit to the idea, and now he's friends with a Smurf that rides bats 🙃
He should make a city nearby! In-canon both the Grove and Village get destroyed, and a new one gets built...
Though we all know canon should be put in a box in our attic, covered in dust and spiderwebs, sometimes that old box can be taken out, to find a thing or two that might be useful! He could make a second (third) living area, since the Smurf population is growing. Maybe another town, or something, gets destroyed, and the occupants have to move to Smurf Village, so he makes a city for them!
IDK, either way, I love all of these characters so far!
Why?!? 😂😂😂
Smurfs are pure and perfect! Lol
Job(s): Being cute. 😍 😍 😍
He has some limited powers: teleportation, invulnerability, and crazy luck. 😂 😂 😂
Isn't Lucky Smurf luck?
I love the name Mayhem Smurf! It's just so amazing and hilarious! Seriously, the only thing you need to know about him is his name, then you know everything about him! Lol
This was so amazing! I love both your original characters, and your edits on old ones! So amazing! Keep up the good work! 😊
'I love you and will tackle God himself if he looks at you funny — and I will win'.
That is... Exactly Hefty's energy, lol.
"He silently follows people, especially children, if he sees them wandering around at night. This can come off as menacing, but his goal isn't to freak them out — it's to freak out anything else that might decide to follow them around."
His logic seems... flawed.
That's because it is! 🙃
