When Coco was a filly she once saw a wonderful looking hat in the window. The only thing ever kept it from being in her grasp was the outlandish price tag. The little filly was sure there was no way she could afford such a wonderful accessory… so she decided to try and make one herself. The young filly worked hard to get her materials together, she saved up all the bits she could and bought some fairly expensive cloth and read all kinds of books on how to make hats… it took many, MANY tries to finally make a wearable hat but it didn’t look nearly as good as the one she saw in the window. Even though the hat wasn’t the best thing ever to be made, the pride she felt in having made it gave her the courage to put it on her head and as she felt that feeling of happiness at seeing her work in the mirror… she noticed a similar looking hat had appeared upon her flank!


 


History:


Coco was born to a pair of Prench immigrants manehattan citizens, her father and mother ran a small dry cleaning shop in the Residential district of the City. Many times as a filly, Coco would help out at the shop and as a result gained some useful hooves on experience with incredible fabrics that would come in handy later in her life. Every day at her parent’s shop she would see those wonderful clothes coming and going and often marveling at the more beautiful articles.


 


When she first began going to school Coco had a bit of a hard time making friends due to her shy and soft-spoken demeanor and when ponies did talk to her they would often compare her to a frightened rabbit or some other creature with a reputation for skittishness. Despite her social shortcomings Coco did manage to make friends that often helped her through her awkward phases (albeit not entirely) until she was able to converse with almost anypony. Some habits don’t seem to go away as even though now she was much more willing to talk, she was still somewhat weak willed and could usually be talked into anything if someone had a strong personality and a silver tongue.


 


When Coco managed to finally find her talent she took to it with gusto and worked incredibly hard to make herself a great seamstress and designer.


 


Eventually Coco got into the fashion industry and grew a small reputation of making high quality outfits of almost any style very quickly but her designs herself weren’t really selling as well as she’d hoped and bills were starting to stack up…That was when she Met Suri. Suri Polomare was an up and coming character in the fashion scene but there were quite a few nasty rumors going around about her. Coco, being her usual good natured self didn’t believe these things at first when she accepted the mare’s offer to work for her, surely somepony like Ms Polomare would have been a hardworking member of the industry… right?


 


Over time, Coco was influenced by Suri’s ideas of everypony being out for themselves in Manehattan. She remembered some days when cab ponies would pass her by to pick up some rich looking mare or stallion. As a result of her boss’s influence, Coco slowly began to think this philosophy may actually be true, as thanks for teaching Coco such a valuable lesson, the seamstress promised to help Suri in any way she could whenever she needed, that was what a good assistant did right?


 


During Manehattan’s fashion week Coco was busier than ever, loyally getting her friend coffee and whatever else she needed. On the first night of the week, Suri and Coco had met a very nice pony named Rarity who was a fashion designer too and from What Coco saw she had an amazing sense of style; the dresses she made were incredibly designed. That Night, Suri had Come to Coco and asked her to remake those designs, however she left this swatch of material that Rarity had loaned her with her so Coco made sure to use those as well so the Dresses looked as good as the originals and hoped her friend would win.


 


When they were judged, it seemed that she had indeed won… She noticed how sad Miss Rarity had looked, but even while it hurt her heart to lie to this nice unicorn she stood by her friend… although it did greatly make her doubt herself when she realized that she was helping Suri do something that hurt somepony so. The day after when Rarity had returned she once again lied to her with her boss but this time she couldn’t bare it. Coco sought out Rarity soon afterwards and corrected her mistake by telling Rarity that the her dresses had indeed won the competition and she needed to go retrieve her prize. Not only that, but seeing how generous Rarity was and how generous her friends could be had made her realize that not everypony was like how Suri had stated… so she quit her job and offered Rarity a spool of Rainbow thread as thanks for what she had taught her. things wound up even better as it turned out that Rarity had a friend in Bridleway who with a good word from the fashionista gave Coco a job as a costume and dressmaker! things were looking up for this shy seamstress!


 


Character Summary:


 


Coco is an excellent seamstress, having practiced and honed her skills since she was a filly to be able to do what she loves. She isn’t particularly the best designer of outfits on her own however, and usually tends to make improvements to the designs she is given or is thinking of.


 


To be the best Seamstress, dressmaker, and Costume maker for Bridleway as she can is currently Coco’s only dream. The thing she most greatly hopes to accomplish is to prove to the pony who got her this job that she is worthy of it and make sure that the dresses she makes are talked about for ages.


 


Coco is fond of many things, sewing and anything similar being one of her biggest loves. One of the more prominent enjoyments of her life are Perfumes, Coco keeps a large collection of perfumes that she likes in her apartment in Manehattan, and often wears them out. Besides that she often likes to read and listens to soft calm music and have a nice cup of teas to sooth her nerves after a long day of work.


 


Around others, Coco is very meek and usually softspoken and easily intimidated by louder and more boisterous personalities. Most of the time, Coco is a bit frightened of the idea of being a burden, holding anypony back, or offending anyone in anyway and therefore tends to apologize much more often than is necessary. When She is working it is best to not distract her or speak to her too much as she can be a bit snippy when her work is interrupted even to her bosses but she usually profusely apologizes afterwards. Whenever Coco is frustrated or annoyed she has a tendency to say something to herself in Prench, a trait she inherited from her Parents.


 


Coco’s shortcomings are often in the domain of social interactions, She isn’t the best judge of character and can be deceived  fairly easily. She does however feel compassion for almost everypony, not just the ones she knows and tries to take everyone’s feelings into account when she does something.
