History: 

Lamp was born to loving parents in the outskirts of Ponyville proper. His parents were ponies of earth and field though more for study than working. His father is a botanist and often traveled to Canterlot and beyond to share his learning on flora. His mother is a herbalist and keeps a greenhouse next to their cottage. Lamp learned much about the earth and its ways from his parents though as he grew he learned that it was not his calling to follow in their hoof steps.

 

As a young foal Lamp enjoyed nothing more than playing house. At first his parents thought it was a passing fad. They were delighted to watch him pretend to bake, clean house, and even set up his room as if he was going to have a guest stay there. As they saw him enjoying his pretend games more and more they started to see that Lamp really had a talent for entertaining and making things perfect for guests. It was during a day of turning their home into a pretend hotel that both parents had to stop Lamp from baking welcoming cookies to point out the hospitality cutie mark that had appeared on his flank!

 

Lamp had lots of friends at school and was well liked as he had a very charming nature. He could make up conversations from thin air to entertain others and help them to relax and laugh. He was also liked by his teachers and earned top marks in almost every subject. Once he was old enough his parents encouraged him to pursue a higher education. Perhaps he'd like to go to Canterlot to study sciences or art? It turned out what he really wanted was to study business and also home education. It was an odd mix but his ever supportive parents were happy to see him loving what he was studying. 

 

When his studies were done it was no surprise to anypony that the Lamp began pursuing having his own inn. He had worked at various establishments during his studies in Canterlot but found most of them to be too fancy for his tastes. He wanted ponies to feel at ease and at home when they visited his establishment. Through his work at various hotels he was able to form up exactly what he wanted in his mind. He continued to work until he saved enough bits to work in partnership with another pony to start his first inn in Ponyville!

 

A few years after their inn the "Honest Hearth" was opened that his partner pony was called away to Canterlot on family business. Rather than fold the inn, Lamp decided to buy his partner out and now he owns the inn outright! It's everything he's ever dreamed! He's never prouder than when he's able to welcome ponies to stay at his inn! The only thing missing from Lamp's life at this point is love but he's yet to find the perfect stallion to match him.

 

Character Personality: 

 

Lamp is well liked by most ponies. He has a knack for conversation and is very easy to spend time with. He does tend to ramble at times but bring s himself back when he realizes it. He loves owning and working at his inn. He also loves to go on far and wide rambles in nature. Sometimes he takes other ponies, sometimes he goes just with his hounds Merelda and Bluedown. Lamp knows what will make ponies comfortable no matter who they are and is willing and happy to make friends with pretty much any pony.

 

His specialty in magic involves fixing, cleaning, and verbally making things more pleasant. When he works his magic it comes with a warm orangish yellow glow. 

 

Character Summary:

 

A jovial chap, happy and talkative, most ponies have a hard time not liking Lamp Light. Whether he's in his inn serving his guests, out afield with his hounds he seldom has less than a cheery outlook on life and a smile to offer a friend.
