@zimzap RD obviously rainboomed by fluke, since she continued training and still couldnt do one until the sonic rainboom episode. Pinkie Pie, Applejack and the others also got their cutiemarks after pretty much doing their talent once, enjoying it and realizing it, and each of these defining moments weren't by any means a representation of accomplished training. talent = skill or profession, srsly trust me. I think you're confusing trained skill with talent, and especially since everypony's talents are supposed to be unique that means whatever your oc goes to school for won't earn her a cutiemark because it's being taught to obviously more than just your oc (hence how can it be unique?). you can have a talent in something and still be working on training in that talent or perfecting the skill(s) involved. The definition of talent is unconnected and unrelated to the training or education of said talent.
