Zecora received her mark one day when a friend injured her leg. At that time the zebra had been studying making potions but she had yet to actually give one of her concoctions to another zebra due to her worry that something would go wrong as potion making was a very specific and dangerous process. Yet with her friend hurt and the town herbalist was away in another part of the Veld, Zecora mustered up the courage to make a healing salve which she immediately applied to the zebra’s wounded leg. The medicine helped to sooth the pain and aid in the healing process, much to the relief of Zecora and her friend.

History:

Zecora was born and raised in the ancient city of Boma, located in the middle of the Veld region of Unyasi. Since the town is a major cultural hub where both goods and knowledge are exchanged, the young zebra was always surrounded my new things to learn and discover. Her parents were very loving and caring, encouraging her to learn all that she could. She would read every book she could get her hooves on and would ask many zebra and even some non-zebra who visited her town about their lives and occupations. It was upon speaking with the town’s herbalist that peaked her interest of herbs and potions and what started her on the path that led to getting her cutie mark.

After finding her talent, Zecora decided that she wanted to explore the lands outside of Unyasi where the ponies lived. With her parents’ blessing she started on her journey to Equestria. There she visited the various towns and cities, but none suited her as a good place to live as they were too big and crowded for her taste. She began to feel homesick, longing for the open grasslands of the Veld and of home. After a long journey through the land, she found a very mysterious place called the Everfree Forest, a place that was not controlled by ponies leaving it wild and in the case of many ponies dangerous. She found a hollowed out tree and set her house there as she studied the local flora and fauna and began to make potions. Unfortunately her presence and her reclusive nature made ponies think that she was evil. It wasn’t through a mishap involving six mares, a filly, and Poison Joke that made ponies realize that she wasn’t bad after all and encouraged her to visit Ponyville and mingle with the ponies more.

Recently Zecora has become a much respected member in Ponyville, offering her wisdom and her skills as an herbalist and potion maker to help any sick or injured ponies. In particular she helped a filly named Apple Bloom who tried using a zebra’s potion to get her cutie mark by creating a counter medicine as well as teaching Twilight new magic. Through all her experiences, Zecora cherishes where she came from and the lessons she learned there while she looks forwards to new experiences in her new home.

Character Summary:

Zecora is a very compassionate zebra, willing to lend a helping hoof to anypony in need whether it means giving her time, energy, resources, or even knowledge to help others. At first she was a little reclusive, but she has opened up more to ponies especially in nearby Ponyville. She is not a very materialistic zebra, as seen when she receives a gem from Spike in exchange for helping him take care of several pets only to turn around and donates it to a Filly Scout. The zebra is known to often speak in a rhyming dialogue. It is unclear whether this is something related to the dialect of the Veld in Unyasi or if she prefers to speak this way, but most who speak with her seems to understand what she is saying clearly.

She is also a patient individual, like when teaching Twilight Sparkle new magic and waiting for Apple Bloom to tell the truth about what happened to the zebra’s Heart’s desire flower. Rarely does the zebra become upset, except when ponies are untruthful, reckless with her things, or are judgmental towards each other. Even when such cases happen as long as the guilty party is willing to apologize and not repeat the same mistakes, she can easily forgive them.

Zecora is very knowledgeable due to her never-ending desire to learn new things and share what she knows with others. In particular, she has great knowledge of the local flora and fauna, especially herbs. She can help identify a certain plant or animal and combine items found in nature into remedies like potions or salves, often to heal. She also possesses a certain degree of magical ability tied to nature like producing water in a cup. Her magic is strengthened through meditation which also aids in calming her. In addition to learning and making potions, Zecora likes the outdoors, telling stories about her homeland and travels, and meeting new ponies and other species.

Her hut is located withing a hollowed out tree in the Everfree Forest and consists of a main room an an smaller area where che sleeps. In the main rooom there are shelves lining the walls with different potions and salves as well as components to make new ones, and in the center on the room is a large cauldron.Her place is now very ornate or showy as it contains only a few bare essentials and some mementos of home like two masks that symbolizing saying “Hello” and “Welcome.” She is also a very orderly zebra who keeps her hut clean and organized.

Overall, Zecora seeks to continue what she has been doing since first journeying to Ponyville but learning all she can and meeting and helping as many ponies that she can.
