Motivation: This pony got her cutie mark after doing a performance in her school that required her to dress up like a clown. Ever since then, she was called upon to entertain foals, even though she HATES dressing up as a clown. Likes: Spending time with close friends, singing songs, dancing, making foals smile Dislikes: Clowns, people who talk about her eyes, pretty much anything that associates with clowns. Character Summary: Ever since birth (at least, when she first opened her eyes) Sunshine was diagnosed with a rare condition known as Twinkle Eye. Basically, her eyes looked like someone had tried to blind her with a handful of glitter, as there was a strange sparkle to them. This caused many ponies to stare, giving her funny looks throughout life, not to mention how the other foals teased her about it. No doubt this made Sunshine bitter, especially about any conversation involving her eyes. During a school play, Sunshine was given a musical number that involved her dressing up as a clown. It wasn’t until the end of the play that her friends pointed out she got her cutie mark. A circus tent. Great. Now she goes wherever a clown is needed, which is usually a foal’s birthday party. Sunshine wouldn't dress up as a clown and perform for foals if she didn't feel bound by her cutie mark...and her parents. When her special talent was discovered, Sunshine's parents encouraged her to continue down the path of being a professional clown. She was even sent to Crazy Clown College, which was nothing but pure misery. Clown College? Really? She hated everything about clowns, and when she wore the red squeaky nose with her hair done up to look poofy and silly, she began to hate everything about herself. At least her job kept the bits rolling in, and it also paid to see the little foals smile and laugh with joy as she juggled and made balloon animals. Their happiness almost made all those negative emotions disappear. Almost. Unfortunately a lot of her life is spent wandering around and asking strangers if they had any need for a clown. Whether or not they did, she would pass out her custom cards that she'd spent the whole night before making. It isn't the life she wanted, but it is a life nonetheless. Because of her job, she knows how to put up a façade and trick ponies into thinking she’s the funniest, sweetest pony in Equestria…however she doesn’t put on a fake smile unless it’s absolutely necessary, and most the time, she’s as bitter as prune juice
