[FiM] My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic RP Recruitment Thread
The Mane RP Thread
OOC Thread
PONY RP!
...Okay, so this is a recruitment thread for an RP, centered around the show "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic", produced by Lauren Faust, Copyright Hasbro, and airing on the Hub.
No, this isn't a thread for "pony-based DnD". This is just role-playing. As ponies. So most of the 16 points aren't relevant here.
Instead, here's what you need to know.
----------------------------------------------------------
Setting
The setting for our RP has not yet been determined. We'd like to avoid major places that exist in-canon like Ponyville and Canterlot, so Kyuubi and I are partial to a pony village of our own.
The exact details of this village setting are not laid out yet. We're thinking of making it a budding little burg so that new ponies can be introduced and contribute to the community with ease.
Plot
No real plot, actually. Just ponies hanging out with other ponies. Though plots can and will hopefully emerge through pony-to-pony interaction.
Character Limit
There is none. Go crazy playing a thousand ponies if you wish. :smalltongue:
And the most important part...
Register a Pony
Basically, what we want you to do for this thread is register the pony that you want to play in this setting. Give us the name of your pony, a description of what they look like, a little background on them, and any other pertinent pony info.
A formal character sheet is not required, but appreciated. As such, here's one for my own pony.
Name: Floppy Disk
Appearance: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...ntrobulus1.gif
Blue Earth Pony with a blonde mane and brown eyes, has a keyboard and mouse as his cutie mark. A little shorter than most colts.
Skills: Working with electronics
Biography: Floppy Disk is a pony in a rare position. He is fascinated by a technology that is only recently coming into vogue for ponies - computer systems. Few ponies use such things due to their high reliance on magic, but Floppy Disk is part of a fringe movement to integrate more technology into pony lives.
Personality: Though he is a hard worker, Floppy often works himself ragged when he's trying to fix a piece of hardware or re-program some software. As such, he comes off sometimes as a tired and lazy pony. In reality, he's always willing to help a fellow pony in need, and is a loyal friend.
Relationships: Frequent patron of Soft Serve's Soda Bar. Friend to Joyful Skies. Fixes Dr. Cusofour's computers.
Cutie Mark: Computer Keyboard and Mouse.

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic RP Recruitment Thread
I'll wait to make my pony. :smallfrown: I wish I had a scanner. Or cookies. Oh wait I totally have cookies.
-
Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic RP Recruitment Thread
Posting interest. I might play as an Inquisitor of the God-Empress Celestia something normal.
In all seriousness, I might take up the role of town baker, if I can come up with a suitable name and color combo. :smallbiggrin:
-
Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic RP Recruitment Thread
How about being the town's barber? :P
The name has to have connection with circus. And lumberjacking. Any ideas? :P
-
Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic RP Recruitment Thread
Ahhh. zOMG. I like just became the happiest I have ever been. This is fantastic. I know nothing of the ponies, but I love ponies. So I can learn.

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic RP Recruitment Thread
Name: Soft serve
Appearance: http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/...kyuubipony.png
Skills: Makes a mean soft drink, hard worker, and has magic. one of the best huggers you'll ever find.
Cutie Mark: A bear hugging a heart to indicate an affinity for giving people hugs.
Biography: Soft Serve was raised by an Earth Pony who loved soft drinks, and a Unicorn who loved Soft serve Ice cream, hence her name. She has always loved her name, and has wanted to run her own Soda bar since she first tried root beer. She finally got the money to buy her current setup about 3 years ago and has been fixing it up since then. She currently runs the place which she has called "Soft Serve's Soda bar"
Personality: Slightly hyperactive, loves hugging people, and is willing to give just about anybody a shoulder to cry on, both literally and metaphorically.
Relationships: Too many to mention at this point.
Berserk Button: Making her little sister Smoothie cry.

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic RP Recruitment Thread
I have decided on some of my pony's details...
His name shall be Snickerdoodle. :smallbiggrin: He is the town baker, and he specializes in pastries and other deliciousness. But I need to decide on what he looks like... :smallconfused:
Option 1:
Coat - Tan
Mane/Tail - Brown
Eyes - Brown
(Snickerdoodles are a cinnamon-loaded sugar cookie, so I chose the colors of cookie dough and cinnamon! XD)
Option 2:
Coat - Grey
Mane - White
Eyes - Silver
(I dunno, just seemed like a cool color combo... (Yay alliteration!))
Thoughts?
-
Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic RP Recruitment Thread
Option 1 makes more sense to me.

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic RP Recruitment Thread
Name: Whitefire AKA "Kaheena'hani" (Kah for short)
Appearance: Female white pegasus pony with a red mane and dark orange eyes with a blooming cherry tree cutie mark.
http://i51.tinypic.com/2la4r4m.jpg
Skills:
Martial Arts A
Meditation A
Gardening A+
Athletics B
Speed B+
Grace B
Painting C+
Awareness C
Animal handling E (C with birds)
Socialize E
Cooking E
Sense of Humor E-
Biography:
When Whitefire was younger she ran away from home. A terrible thunderstorm blew her massively off course and badly injured her, and she was found and rescued by an earth pony named Sensei. She walked with him for a time, learning his ways and doing her best to copy his enlightened attitude.
Personality:
Whitefire is often said to be way too serious. She is almost never seen to laugh and spends most of her time by herself in her beautifully tended gardens. Other ponies find her vaguely unsettling to be around because she seems to focus on what they're saying to an almost uncomfortable degree. She is painfully earnest despite this, though, genuinely wanting to be a part of things. She's just not exactly sure how.
Relationships:
Occasionally Whitefire can be seen watching Floppy Disc work on technology, trying to work out what he's doing and not quite able to figure out how to ask directly.
Several ponies, including Soft Serve and Snickerdoodle, seem to appreciate Whitefire's gardening. She's always happy to help them, but tends to lose her focus when the conversation moves away from gardening.
Sensei, her old sifu, might stop by sometimes, and Whitefire regards him with genuine hero worship. She's... less keen on the idea of meeting her parents again.
Silvermane is one of Whitefire's best friends and one she's quite protective of. She regularly kicks herself for forgetting to take Silvermane's shyness into account.
Virtue: Dedication
Flaw: Curiosity

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic RP Recruitment Thread
...Thanqol, I should warn you that you are just begging for a love triangle to suddenly emerge between Floppy, Whitefire, and Soft Serve...
Or possibly not. Ponies are random~!
^w^ More pony interest pleases me!

Name: Snickerdoodle
Appearance: Pegasus Pony - Tan coat, Brown mane & tail, and Brown eyes.
Skills: Cooking & baking, flying to deliveries, gardens as a hobby.
Biography: Snickerdoodle was born into a family of chefs and bakers, and was named thus because his hair colors reminded his mother of her favorite cookie, cinnamon-sugar snickerdoodles. Following in his family's hoofprints, he learned to cook and bake with great skill and talent. With a passion for pastries, he set out from home to start his own bakery. Once he found a cozy little hamlet, he set up shop and quickly gained a reputation for his delicious apple pies, blueberry scones, and of course... snickerdoodles.
Personality: Snickerdoodle is an all-around nice guy. He's friendly, kind-hearted, and has a strong sense of humor. He also has a tendency to "accidentally" include extra cookies in some orders on Fridays.
Relationships: Gets gardening advice from Whitefire, and likes to tip Soft Serve with cookies while visiting her store.

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic RP Recruitment Thread
Oh, just FYI, you don't have to have a pre-set relationship with one of the ponies already in town. You can create your own character from out of town..

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic RP Recruitment Thread
Eh, "Snicker" is kinda new in town anyway, so I dunno if he'd know that many people. Besides, I'm too lazy to come up with NPCs right now. :smalltongue:
Sooo, when do we start? :smallbiggrin:

I'm not entirely sure. We still need a setting for the place such as a beach, at the base of a mountain, in the countryside ETC and I'll talk to Introbulus tomorrow to make sure we don't need anything else.

I actually think a beach/oceanic locale could open up a lot of cool stories.
And time period? Before, during or after FiM?

After would probably work best since Introbulus wants to run a tech pony, Although if the majority of people want to run it before or during FiM then that's what we'll do.
-
Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic RP Recruitment Thread
I'm fine with whenever.
Though I must say I love the idea of a beach or lakeside town. That opens up options for surfing, fishing, volleyball, buried treasure, shipwrecks, giant squid, Cthulhu...
Yeah, lets go with oceanic. :smallbiggrin:

After is also good for me - Opens up Luna-based options. I envision a Victorian era background feel but that's getting into unnecessary levels of detail.

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic RP Recruitment Thread
Would it really have to be that advanced for computers to exist? :smallconfused: I figure the cultures and tech could all still be mostly the same as the show, just with the addition of computers and a few tech thingies.

Not really; sewing machines and heavy industry existed in FiM which my super-legit timeline puts at around 1411. Having computers by 1700-1800 seems perfectly in theme.
There's also the theory that any advanced technology seen is essentially a magic item made by unicorns, hence the no visible power sources or cables.
Or, and far more likely, it's that I'm overthinking this and "Sometime after FiM and near an ocean" is all we need :smalltongue:

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic RP Recruitment Thread
Are you still looking for more ponies? I love me some MLP.

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic RP Recruitment Thread
The more the merrier!
I should probably start working on making Soft Serve's little sister "Smoothie" soon.
EDIT: As before, if anybody wants to talk about characters, PM/IM me.
-
Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic RP Recruitment Thread
Well, grand! The easy part is out of the way, now I actually have to go and think up a pony.
Hmm.. A soda jerk, a techie, a baker, and a martial-arts gardener. Wow, not a lot of bases left to cover. :P
With two businesses already, a third would be redundant. Seems what this batch of ponies almost craves is a sagely character like Twilight. But that's not really my forte.
For some reason I'm feeling an earth pony coming up. A beach-comber/treasure hunter. Yeah, that could work. Perhaps some sand dollars, or a clam with a pearl for the cutie mark.

Oh what the Hay. I don't know how often I'll drop in, but I post more than anyone else in the main thread, so I may as well give it a chance.
Name: Pinewood
Appearance: A rugged looking earth pony. He has a forest green coat with a black mane. His cutey mark is an axe. He favors a black and red plaid shirt and a dark green stocking cap.
Skills: Pinewood is a skilled lumberjack. In addition to cutting down trees and forest lore, Pinewood also cooks a mean flapjack. He is also good at story telling. Also, in the event of a fight, his axe (Lucile) is a deadly weapon, either in melee or thrown.
Biography: He has come recently to the town of (insert name here) after the forest in his native Trottingham was declared a nature preserve. He is (in human terms) in his early 20s. After coming to (insert town here) he took up a job as the local game warden (a job similar to Fluttershy's). He only comes into town occasionally (a way for me to justify if I don't check in as often as I should).
Personality: Pinewood is generally blunt and jovial. He has little guile and will tell you what he thinks. Pinewood loves life and parties. His most glaring flaw is a tendency to tell long tall tales of his lumberjack days that seem impossible, though he claims they are all true. He speaks with a faint French-Canadian accent that he says he picked up working with other loggers for years.
Relationships: Being a newcomer living in the nearby forest, he has fairly few friends. His large appetite causes him to gravitate towards Soft Serve's bar and Snickerdoodle's bakery, due to that Pegasus' tendency to give out extra cookies in exchange for a tall tale. He also exchanges gardening tips with Whitefire occasionally, though he tends to receive more than he gives.
Oh yeah, Kyuubi, I'm trying to add you to my MSN stuff. Is your e-mail Soulbanish@aol?

Does that connect to your messenger? I was hoping to chat at some point, since I've never done this sort of thing before. Plus, the chance to talk plot/characterization is always fun.
Oh, town name suggestion: Ponsylvania

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic RP Recruitment Thread
Boo. :smalltongue:
Name: Joyful Skies
Appearance: A rather small pegasus. She has a coat of frosty blue-white, with a pink mane. Her cutie mark is the outline of a heart. When flying, a pink and blue trail of heart shapes follows her.
Skills: Joy is an excellent flier, and very very cheerful. She considers herself a matchmaker, and her special skill is romance. As of yet, she's not so good at it, but she insists she'll grow into it.
Biography: Joy has lived here all her life, and was recently promoted to a leadership position in the weather unit. She loves the sound of rain, and idolises a certain other blue pegasus... :smalltongue:
Personality: Joy's personality is summed up by her name. It takes a lot to bring her down, and she can be bough up again easily. She is quite stubborn, rather impetuous, and generally inquisitive.
Relationships: Joy knows most of the inhabitants of the village, and has probably tried to set them up with dates several times. Some of them may even have gone well.

I can't believe I never thought of that one. Much applause, sir.
I'm tossing around some ideas for secondary/background characters. I tend to do this a lot in any game that'll let me and won't necessarily use them all. Will likely use them sparingly and keep them in background-y roles.
Sensei:
Spoiler
Show
Name: Sensei
Appearance: Male earth pony with faded yellow-brown coat and a black and yellow striped mane. Rather old in pony terms. Wears a heavy set of aviator goggles, a yellow and black jumpsuit in the Wonderbolts style, and a complex set of mechanical wooden wings. Cutie mark of a pair of wings.
Theme Music
Skills:
Instructor A
Flying Deathtraps A+
Martial Arts A+
Mechanics B
Experienced B
Surviving Crashes B
Risk Assessment E
Biography:
Sensei's best friend when he was a colt was a pegasus pony. When she started getting into flight training, Sensei decided he was not going to let her get away that easily. He embarked on an epic quest to learn to fly himself so he could one day join her in the air.
His attempts to do so are the stuff of legend. Helicopters, rocket jets, zeppelins, mechanical wooden wings, and taping hundreds of birds to his back have been tried. Getting something that works and can provide him with enough finesse and control to genuinely compete with a Pegasus is still proving elusive.
Personality:
A daredevil in his heart, a hopeless romantic in his soul, and an inspired genius in his head. Sensei is fun to be around, bumbling in his attempts to prepare for his latest scheme, and always happy to shrug and try again after crashing and exploding for the nine hundredth time.
Sensei is also an excellent teacher. He has researched virtually every topic he can find in hopes of finding an answer for his quest and is happy to pass it on to anyone who'll ask. He spent over a decade mastering the martial arts, for example, after some wire-fu movies gave him the wrong idea.
Relationships:
Father figure to Whitefire. He has a lot of sympathy for people who crash into things. Tends to rope any Pegasus he can find into racing his latest mad invention.
Virtue: Romantic
Flaw: Daredevil

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic RP Recruitment Thread
"Enough fooling around, there's Science to be done!"
Name: Dr Cusofour (as in CuSO4, or Copper sulphate)
Appearance: http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e3/regshoe/pony.png
Skills: Science, particularly the study of friendship, high energy physics and magitech.
Biography: Dr Cusofour is the visiting professor of Applied Friendship at Canterlot academy and occasional adviser to the princess, positions he gained through "Well honed curiosity, dedication and hard work" (yes, he says that often enough for it to be in quote marks).
Lives in a stable above his lab on the outskirts of town which has an extensive library and really far more lab space than he needs.
May or may not be plotting to take over Equestria by brainwashing everypony into being his friend with orbital weaponry.
Personality: He is stuffy, bookish, has a seemingly endless supply of useless information. He is somewhat arrogant but willing to help anyone who needs it, even if he is not always very modest about it. He likes stimulating conversations and intellectual challenges and dislikes people who disregard knowledge and things that ruin peace and quiet. A bit prickly but a good and loyal friend if you make allowances for him.
Relationships: Probably knows everypony somewhat, ponies who have an interest in science/technology more so.
(Given that he is an occasional adviser to the princess, I am toying with him having a dragon secretary/lab assistant either as a secondary character or as someone played by someone else, what do people think? The more odd-coupleish the better.)
-
Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic RP Recruitment Thread
Incidentally, Floppy Disk is a graduate of MIT (Maresechussets Institute of Technology). :smalltongue:
And when Kyuubi and I were bouncing ideas between each other, I came up with the idea of this being set in "Silicolt Valley"
Ponyvania...could work. Though I feel like it'd be an obvious "Also-Ran" name to Ponyville.
However...we are totally going to have a seaside town now. :smallcool:
And while you history-of-Equestrians may be trying to map out the history of the world, I have no problem with Samurais and Computers occupying the same time period. :smalltongue:
Seems like we might have enough ponies to start soon. So anyone who wants to throw their two bits in (And yes, bits ARE the currency of this world) should do so now! :smallwink:

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic RP Recruitment Thread
Rather than use my avatar... I will invent a new pony!
Name: Foxglove
Appearance: A light green unicorn with a lilac mane and tail -- tail is a little short, but mane is kept long and bound at the bottom. Her soft, sleepy eyes are a deep purple color. Her cutiemark is a purple Foxglove flower with a white butterfly on it.
Skills: Animal Empathy + Magic, Dreaminess, Standard Unicorn Telekinetics, Some Plant Magics, The Voice, Creativity
Weaknesses: Social skills, clear communication, prone to feelings of guilt and inferiority, Dreamy, Distractable, Overly Quick-to-forgive.
Biography: Foxglove's chief duty is taking care of the animals around town. No one actually gave her that job... It just sort of happened. She was there one day, doing that job, and any attempts to dissaude her was met with a quiet little giggle... And then she'd be back at it, making sure that the caterpilars were making their coccoons at the right time, and so on.
She lives in a small wooded glade, made by an almost wall-of-trees surrounding a larger tree with bits of her house scattered in it and in its branches. It may or may not have been here before she arrived.
Her past before arriving in town is something she doesn't talk about.
Personality: Foxglove is dreamy -- she has a tendency to trail off most of her thoughts and sentences, only to pick it up with new energy in a seemingly unrelated train of thought. The thoughts she does communicate tend to be...strange.
A sample conversation-starter:
"Do you suppose that clouds like having rain squeezed out of them?...Maybe if it was like a hug... ... .... I hope the ponybot rebellion won't hurt any animals. Or ponies, I suppose."
She's very gentle with her animal friends, and actually occaisonally appears to be focused on her self-apointed duties. Singing occurs. She's very mellow, but seems to be strangely stubborn -- or maybe she's honestly just tuning out ponies that she doesn't agree with. It is hard to tell. She does what she wants, basically. She cares about others, but not about rules. She enjoys company, but don't be surprised if she drifts away mid-game, or forgets the rules. She wants to help other ponies, but doesn't often see herself as good enough, treasuring little opportunities. Does not like expressing her feelings in public. She tends to view anything nervous, small, and frightened as being her responsibility in the same way animals are. Likes finding metaphors for her experiences.
The voice is a property of Foxglove: when confronted with someone (usually an animal, but very rarely a pony) in a state of high distress, she'll begin speaking to them very calmly, in a warm, bright voice that seems to surround them and take them, mentally, to a "happy place," where they can be reasoned with or calmed. It is a sort of natural magic.
Relationships
She's fond of her co-worker, Silvermane, and usually sensitive to the other pony's sensitivity.
She also seems to be developing a friendship with Snickerdoodle and Snapjaw.
Also, she has a fox friend/pet. She is also named Foxglove. Confusion ensues.

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic RP Recruitment Thread
We're getting increasingly close to pony launch! Any suggestions you want to make before we start, you should do it soon!
In particular, what should we name our town? So far all we've got is Ponyvania.

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic RP Recruitment Thread
Cool character. I'm somewhat reminded of Luna from Harry Potter. :smalltongue:
And I like the name Ponysylvania. Sylvania means "woods" IIRC, so shortening it to Ponyvania kinda... breaks the word, grammatically speaking. :smallconfused:

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic RP Recruitment Thread
I think a crude map may help, just so we know what is in town and have a rough geography. Let me muse on this.

I fully intended it to be the suggested name from the thread, but could not find/forgot what it had been.
Also, I've got a general idea for Ponsylvania's layout. *Ahem...*
This is Ponyvania. Situated along a large lake with a natural beach, and not far from town is Mt. Trotia, with a waterfall that feeds into the lake. The town is surrounded by a lush forest which the ponies of the town both use and nurture with delicate balance.

On the outskirts of town is a large single story white brick building with what looks like a very thin roof. On the side of the building is Dr Cusofour's cutiemark and the following, very large sign.
Warning!

Name: Sketch Artist (Sketch for short)
Skills: An excellent artist- prefers drawing. She's good at telling stories, and has a remarkable memory for odd details.
Biography: Sketch has just recently arrived in Ponysylvania. She's probably from one of the smaller districts in Canterlot, though she maintains that she is an explorer from a sunken city deep in the ocean.

Relationships: As mentioned above, she's just arrived in town and doesn't know anyone yet. She's probably going to fix that shortly.

Name: Fox Trot
Appearance: Mocha furred with a fabulously coiffed jet black mane and russet red brown eyes.
Cutie Mark: A series of hoof dance steps
Skills: He is the Colt of Dance, thus his skill is dancing. He has a dance studio called the Leaping Pony in which he instructs young fillies and colts (think Cutie Crusader aged). However he remains somewhat accident prone and loses his sense of grace, especially if flying rocks and slush are involved :smalltongue:
Biography: Hailing from Manehatten he is most definitely a city pony at heart. He moved to Bridle Shores in attempt to start someplace new after having had, had a fall out with his former dance partner, among other complications. He has grown to really like this place despite the weirdness factor.
Personality: A forward pony who's anything but shy. He was raised to be a gentlecolt and has the impulsive need to help fillies, even if they end up being fine without his help. He also has the impulsive need to put others before him even if he ends up getting hurt in some way. He is quick to apologize even when he does not need to and shouldn't. There is a sadness in him that he does his best to hide behind his dopey grins. Mental issues aside, he is really just a friendly pony who wants good friends. He can be a little silly sometimes in that dopey way.

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic RP Recruitment Thread
No, wait! It's dangerous! Take this!
Name: Black Brush
Appearance: Dark grey, almost black furred earth pony with a pitch black mane and tail with dark purple streaks in them. He has gold eyes and a paint brush leaving a rainbow paint trail behind it as a cutie mark.
Skills: Black Brush is the best painter around, and makes a living off of portraits he paints for other ponies. He can sculpt and sketch as well but nowhere near as well as he can paint.
Personality: Black Brush is quiet and mopey, but he tries to smile and be polite when around other ponies.
Relationships: None yet, and I doubt he'll make many.
Was I too late? Is it even possible to be late?

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic RP Recruitment Thread
It is zero percent possible to be late. :smallwink:
For one, we are not closing recruitment just because the game starts. Ponies are welcome at any time. ((We may even need more than one thread if we get an overload in this one! But let's not get ahead of ourselves))
For another, we haven't started yet...oh but soon...VERY soon now. :smallamused:

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic RP Recruitment Thread
...I need to be part of this. :smallredface:
Name: Spearmint (usually just 'Mint'-- full name if he's in trouble :smalltongue:)
Gender: Male
Appearance: Mint is a light green earth pony with fur the color of mint icecream. His mane a few shades darker green, and tends to be matted and 'bed head' looking. Mint always looks a little sickly, and yawns often, but he's never without a small, tired smile.
Cutie Mark: A single raindrop.
Skills: Herbalist; Mint has a vast knowledge of different herbal remedies, as well as some basic first-aid ability, acquired in his search for a cure for his condition.
Biography: Mint was born with a rare chemical imbalance that makes it difficult for him to stay awake; combined with at least minor allergies to just about everything under the sun, Mint was very sickly as a young colt and for a few years it was not sure he would survive. Mint refused to allow his condition to squash his love of life, however, and grew quickly, determined to find a way to beat his maladies and enjoy life to its fullest. Just because they make him sneeze doesn't stop him from stopping to smell the flowers along the way. So far he has not found the magic cure, but is able to function by chewing the stems of the plant after which he was named. As well as providing a minor stimulant, the Spearmint stems help relieve his allergies-- and make him smell pleasantly crisp wherever he goes.
Personality: Mint is quiet and agreeable, but possessed of a willpower greater than his looks suggest. He's not an intellectual, and anything more than basic math confuses him (long devision is right out), but he has a strong common sense and thinks quickly on his feet. Even though he does sometimes wish he had been born healthy, he is not jealous of the other ponies and doesn't grudge them for his circumstances. Mint always learns from his mistakes, and doesn't get depressed even when things go against him-- the sun will always come out after the rain.
Relationships: Open for relationships!
