A very stylish purple high brimmed hat with a red feather, symbolizing her love of fashion, the red feather representing her passion for her work, and the unseen symbolism is her speed at sewing.

History: Coco wasn't always from Manehattan, she was originally from a small town near Canterlot called Solstice Heights, Her father PrimProper and her mother Prime Time were both thrilled to have a wee babe to gush over! They were both in charge of their towns small but greatly respected drama club! From the day she could walk Coco was drenched in all aspects of the theater! Costumes were what caught her attention most though, She was too shy to go out on stage and perform, but her mother was the costume designer since they were short staffed, and Coco watched her sew a lot, occasionally re threading the needle for her (Her mother was a bit far sighted and it made the needle threading tricky) In time her mother taught her the entire workings of costume design, laying the patterns out, sewing them, making the fabric, the whole shebang! And Coco absorbed it like a sponge!

One day one of the cast members had part of their costume crushed accidentally by a falling sand bag! It was a simple straw hat, but her mother about broke into TEARS due to how stressed out she was for that opening night and thought the night was utterly RUINED! Being a bit of a drama queen. Coco however decided that the show MUST go on no matter what! Zipping to the sewing machine without even thinking on it, her hoof peddled and peddled, they FLEW! Making a delicate purple hat out of felt that was leftover from another costume! Adding a decorative white band around the cap and a red feather she presented it to her mother to give to the actor. Her mother again burst into tears but this time because of her daughters speed and talent with the sewing machine! Hugging her tight and the cried out joyfully that she had earned her cutie mark!

After that Coco when not in school, was at the drama department! Taking over her mothers role as costume designer and maker so her mother could focus on HER passion, which was acting, she did so for very many years and loved it, but dreamed to do more, to expand her tastes! So after making sure her parents had a replacement costume seamstress she departed to go to a big fashion school in Manehattan.

Coco did her best, and she did graduate well in her class, but after graduating the poor mare didn’t really know what to do with herself! Seeing a add in the news paper she applied to be the assistant of one Suri Polomare! At first she was ridiculed by the mare because she was a little “Green hoof” that hadn’t even GOTTEN her hooves wet! Why would Suri want to hire her!?

It wasn't hard to convince her, Coco demonstrating her amazing talent with the sewing machine, making a rather nice vest really well and really quick, and that was the start of a far FAR too long partnership, one that Coco looks back and regrets.

Everything changed one day during Fashion Week, a young mare named Rarity got swindled by Suri,it wasn’t the first time Suri had stolen another designers work and presented it first so that she got all the credit and the other pony looked like a copy cat!

Coco had been up all night making the new dresses! She even had to sort of guesstimate the fabric since she needed more than a simple swatch to make so many dresses, and made more of it, both the dress making, and fabric making took Coco all night, but she had developed a sense of friendship with Suri and wanted her to win SO badly that she didn't let that stop her!

However she got a good look at how Suri thought of her when she CHIDED her for her hard work, making the shy mare’s head and ears droop with sadness,she hated to admit it but she was sort of glad to see that Suri lost! Suri however told her to keep her mouth shut about Rarity being the TRUE winner and that this way they’d move UP in the world.

Coco did as she always did when her boss did things like this, she kept quiet, but all the time she was there she had been watching, she observed Rarity’s generosity with her friends, her kindness...and how her friends were willing to be by her even after a nasty tantrum!

Something swelled in the mare as Rarity announced she didn't care that she didn't win! She was just happy her friends were there with her! After she left Coco took a breath, since this was hard for her, so so hard, she was very non confrontational and now she was going to have to confront SURI of all ponies! But she put her hoof down, saying she would no longer help her cheat other ponies, and that she QUIT! Marching to the office in a determined stride to claim the trophy, and bring it to Rarity at the theater!

After the two had a talk, and Coco explained everything, she was delighted that Rarity forgave her, and better than that! Gave the newly unemployed mare a job! Doing what she had done in her youth! She couldn’t help but crack a smile in joy.

Coco is now learning new lessons, and is happily working as part of the Bridleway’s cast as their costume seamstress! Her hooves are like lightning as she pulls together beautiful AND durable fabrics for the performances! Rarity’s friend loved Coco’s work so much that she was hired on full time! Coco couldn't be happier, she had gotten a new friend, a new job, and a new start at life! And more importantly her eyes have been opened to how truly generous and good the world is.

Character Summary: Coco is a very soft spoken, and kind pony that can at times be a bit of a doormat for people, especially people like Suri, and other big name fashionista's that have a way of making you feel lower than a worms belly , While she in the past has lied on her bosses behalf, Coco is a very honest pony, and very kind, her sense of doing the right thing eventually won over being popular and having money. Coco is very very passionate about her work, and she puts her all in everything she does, doing her absolute best if it’s for somepony she wants to aid, in a way she has a very generous and giving soul, and she must have had it long before Suri showed up because she worked her flank off for this mare she believed to be her friend.

While in the past she’s been a bit of a doormat, a little too soft spoken, and easily pushed around, Coco has vowed to mare up a little bit, and to treat others with the same kindness that was granted to her not so long ago.

When she’s not making beautiful costumes she has a little bit of a side hobby, she loves to make her own threads and fabrics when possible, there is something so deliciously hooves on about it that she can’t help but feel happy while doing so.

Aside from Sewing she is a big fan of plays, bridle way shows, and fine teas and coffees, often seen sipping a foam cup full of the good stuff while she works!
