*sigh* My final post for a little while. I'll be heading out in a few minutes for the east coast, so here goes nothing. Please note, this is my FIRST app of any kind. Please go easy on me. Name: BonBon Age: Adult Gender: Mare Race: Earth Pony Faction: The Royal Liberation Front Sub-Faction: RLF recruit Place of Birth/Starting Location: BonBon was born in Ponyville, and will start in the surrounding Everfree Forest. Physical Appearance: Beige coat with a long cobalt blue mane, with a light fuchsia streak, curling tightly at the ends. Her eyes are cerulean blue. Cutie Mark: Three candies in blue and yellow wrapping. History: BonBon, born and raised in Ponyville, lived a simple life. Her father was in the apple farming business, and her mother was in the candy business. As a little filly, she loved helping her mother in the kitchen making all manner of sweets. It was especially wonderful when her father was able to join in and they made delicious candied apples together. One day, she and her mother were experimenting with new types of hard candies with soft centers. BonBon concocted a candy of her very own that day, and they turned out spectacular! Her cutie mark appeared soon after, when she saw how happy her candies made others feel. From then on, her and her mother made them constantly. A few years down the road, she was working full time with her mother in their candy shop. One week, she was left in charge of the shop while her parents went on a business trip with the Apple family. They would never return, however. BonBon was distraught, and closed down the shop indefinately. She was never the same after that, and became withdrawn, cold, and distant from her best friends. She turned into a shut-in, wallowing in her depression. After quite some time surviving on hand-outs, odd jobs, and the occasional assisting at Sugarcube Corner, her friends finally managed to convince her to come out with them to see a new musician in town. Begrudgingly, and very skeptically, she agreed to see this new pony from hailing from Canterlot. She was smitten by the lyrist and her work. It struck a chord with her inner self, the old BonBon that her friends had known and loved, but thought they would never see again. After that show, she began talking with the mint coloured unicorn, and they became fast friends. BonBon caught every show the unicorn played, and at her urging, reopened her family's old candy shop, creating the incredible sweets she once made, and inventing new ones as well. Back to her old self again, she was entering a new life with Lyra, and happiness began to fill her once more. Then the revolution began. At first, it seemed like it would scarcely affect her new life with Lyra, but that quickly changed. When the opposing forces reached Ponyville, destruction, mayhem, and chaos took hold of the town, and quickly put an end to her time with Lyra. When the first projectiles struck Town Hall, she and Lyra ran for it. One blast managed to separate BonBon from Lyra. In the confusion, she was unable to search for her friend and could only flee into the Everfree Forest with the rest of the earth ponies, as most pegasi and unicorns simply flew or teleported away. She managed to meet up with the Apple family, and her old friends, and together they watched in fearful silence as their home was leveled before their eyes. They ran deep into the forest. Days after the attack, it was evident that there would be no returning to Ponyville to rebuild. With things turned upside down on her once again, and the love of her life nowhere to be found, she returned to her cold, and reclusive self. The survivors of Ponyville moved deep into the Everfree, and BonBon with them, until they eventually took up residence in an old castle, hidden away. Over time, the Apples organized a group to fight the fiends that had taken their home. BonBon supported her old friend, Applejack, but refused to join, as she mourned everything she had lost. Over the course of the war, she would become a husk of her former self, acting as if she was already dead, only doing what she needed to sustain herself. Her friends never gave up hope on her, and she was finally pursuaded to join what was being called the Royal Liberation Front. Now she fights alongside her friends, in hopes to avenge the loved one she lost, learning to help in everything from cooking to combat, intel, and logistics.
