Character Summary: Miss Piccafilly was born of a wealthy Trottingham family. Her dad, Brittianius and her mom, English Muffin, gave her a very stable foalhood environment. They also urged her to enroll in Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns in Canterlot. Passing the entrance exam with flying colors, Piccafilly excelled in school, eventually graduating near the top of her class when her time there was over. During her stay at PCSGU, she often left the boarding school environment to walk the streets of Canterlot alone. Often, she encountered ponies who were quite different from herself. During a family vacation in the back country of Equestria, Piccafilly discovered the harsh reality that not all ponies lived in the same luxury she did. Sure, she had read about them in books or heard of 'charity' events to raise money for the poor while in Canterlot, but it wasn't until she saw ponies who were less fortunate with her own eyes that she could begin to understand their plight. One day during their vacation, young Piccafilly wondered off and got hopelessly lost in the Everfree Forest. Fortunately for her, a farming family of mules found her and allowed her to stay with them until her parents found her. The mule couple lived in very humble surroundings, but they were more than willing to share what little they had with the visiting unicorn foal. The next day when Brittianius and English Muffin found her, they were very grateful to the mule couple and offered to reward them with bits for their trouble. The mule couple refused the cash and simply told them to 'pay it forward' to somepony else in need. Piccafilly never forgot those words and at that moment decided she'd dedicate her life to helping others. It was at that moment of self discovery, that moment of her future role in life that her cutie mark appeared, a common looking golden bell. At first, the cutie mark puzzled her but in time, she understood it's meaning. Like a ringing school bell causes school foals to gather in the schoolhouse, so would be her destiny to gather together orphaned foals who had no family or no place to go unto her for her to care for them. It was in her latter years at PCSGU that she learned of the growing number of orphaned foals in Equestria and that she felt compelled to do something grand to help them. When Piccafilly told her parents of her desire to care for orphans, at first they were stunned but in time, they accepted their daughter's calling. Thanks to her family's 'connections' in high society, Piccafilly realized her dream to open an orphanage to all parentless foals in Equestria. When other ponies heard of the project, volunteers flocked to the site of the future orphanage to help build it.

The Orphanage became Piccafilly's life, and the foals that stayed with her there, became her extended family. The first year was rough financially for the new orphanage, but thanks to many fundraising activities as well as some assistance from the Royal Government in Canterlot, soon the orphanage had a solid financial base. In time, more volunteers came to help out, elderly ponies who were retired and felt a love and compassion for foals as well as younger ponies who wanted to 'intern' at the orphanage to gain valuable experience working with youth. What continues to amaze those who visit the orphanage is Piccafilly's charm and motherly instincts towards the orphan foals in her care. They affectionately call her 'Nanny' and its as if she possessed some sort of magical way with them as well as other ponies she happens to meet. Her very persuasive manner serves her well when courting donors, dealing with government officials and in her efforts to find loving homes for many of her orphaned foals. Sadly, she's not always successful in placing foals with adoptive parents, which is why she tries her best to provide those in her care the very best loving, nurturing environment she can. Piccafilly is patient, hard working and very passionate about her 'cause.' She often uses her magical 'gifts' to assist her in this mission.

Hmm, it all seems swell except for the Dragonness. Not sure how we should handle that. Aside from that, however, i really like the character!

Ok, baby dragonness sidekick/assistant is GONE!

Yeah, I think this applications ready for it's own adoption ceremony - it dots all the i's, and crosses all of the T's as far as I see!

:D
