''Yo!

Name's Glady. Glady Leaf! Yeah, apparently we're all doing this thing right now so why not? A'right, guess I'll already start talking a lil' about myself. So as I said, I'm Glady Leaf and... I love my life. Seriously? I couldn't have asked for better than what I have. Wonderful parents, amazing friends and super sweet town! If you wanna know some about me, then you gotta know that I, as an earth pony, is strong as heck. Not a stallion can even rivalize with me! You need a boulder in your yard to be moved out of the way? I'm the one for that! Screw trying to get a team to do it, just leave it to me all!

Wanna know how I got this strong? Well, I'll tell you that right away. See, when I was still a filly, I went to that potion store with my parents. My mother was sick with something and so dad tried to find something to help her. He did, but that's not even the point here. See, I decided to take a look around that store for fun. I went in the back of it where there was a lot of stuff to look at and no one told me not to go. Anyway, I then saw this cauldron in the middle of the place and I really wanted to know what was inside of it! So I took a little step-ladder nearby so I could climb up. Thing was... I was still too small, so I had to hang on it, y'know? So I pulled myself up with the rest and I was hanging on the edge of that cauldron. But! I could see what was inside of it. Some sort of mixture for a potion of something. It was... blue, if I remember. But eh... after that it kind of fell on me? I mean... because I was hanging onto it, it just got pulled toward me and I got dragged to the ground with the whole freaking thing falling all over me. Made a loud clang noise and that potion was no more... I drank a lot of it by mistake and heck, I could have choked there if I were unlucky. Luckily that didn't happen and instead of that it gave me this incredible strength that I now have! Know what? It's also permanent. It's there to stay.

Now, of course at first I had no idea about it... but I soon discovered that when I went to school. Things didn't go so well on recess for some reason so I decided to go somewhere alone to just.. let it out. Punched some wood around, a tree I think. It broke instantly. I was amazed! I didn't get how I had gotten so strong, but all of that led to me getting my cutie mark 'cause I kept finding out more about it. Decided to test it by lifting things I'd be unable to lift at that age, but turns out I was able to! And gosh did it feel good to be able to do that. I realized that I'd be like this for all my life and that it was something I could use for a lot of things! The moment I realized that, my flank shined for a second and 'poof!' it appeared! Shows a gladiolus leaf with a hammer to show my strength.

Speaking of hammers... I own one. I found one when I was walking around. Been told that it was owned by diamond dogs, but honestly I don't give a flying feather about it. Now it's mine to use and me only! And boy is it heavy. I swear, even strong stallions have trouble with it. I'm the only one around able to carry it like it's nothing. Found it one day when I was going to... I mean, well when I was coming back to Ponyville. It was lying there, saying nothing! So I took it for myself. If it belonged to a diamond dog, then it probably forgot about it because no one ever came back to claim it.

Ah well, that's what I have to say about myself for the moment. I love this town, my parents, my friends... oh right! My friends, haha! Yeah Violet and Seria. Seriously they're the best to have around. Without them life would be boring. I never miss a chance to hang with them and have some fun! We like to hang around in the woods, actually. Seria lives in the woods anyway, so it's always sweet to go in there... and no. I'm not talking about the Everfree Forest, but some woods around Ponyville, with no dark stuff and all. Heck, living in that haunted forest must be impossible... Anyway, as I was saying, those two are awesome to be with. Like, Violet's always there to put a smile on your face and Seria's there to answer all of your questions. That fairy knows a lot of stuff for sure. Don't know how exactly, but she does. And for someone who didn't go out of her town for years, that's impressive... Gotta admit, though, that I kind of feel dumb compared to her... I don't know as much as she does. Still, she's really kind nonetheless and awesome to be with!

Anyway, I think that's enough about me for the moment.

See ya!''
