[Roleplay Type] Mane Rp [image] [Name] Caramel Sweets [Nicknames] Caramel or Cara [sex] Female [Age] Young Mare [species] Earth Pony [Eye colour] Rich Chocolate [Coat] Light Caramel -Can always be found with that dusty old, cowgirl hat of hers. [Mane/Tail] Deep Red [Physique] Not overly slender, nor overly defined, Caramel's physical definition is what one can expect from a pony that grew up on a farm. [Residence] Solstice Heights -> A small settlement, nestled just outside of town. There Caramel, with her younger brother Pippin Seed, manage their own little apple farm. Their spread is small enough, that one of them can stay behind to plant, harvest, and maintain the land, while the other goes into town or the other neighboring settlements to sell some of their apple-tastic treats (shockingly, they specialize in recipes with varying levels of caramel). [Occupation] Apple Farmer/Apple Confectioner -> While Pippin Seed handles the heavier lifting on their farm, Caramel is the mastermind behind their various caramel and apple recipes. She still helps with planting and harvesting, but her primary duty is creating all sorts of mouthwatering, tongue tingling, sweet and fruity delights. [Cutie Mark] A scarlet apple, possessing it's stem, with it's middle-lower half dipped in dark caramel. [History] The first born of Gala Blossom and Leaf Wind, Caramel Sweets grew up in a loving home, with a gentle mother and encouraging father. She fondly remembers the few days where she had both of her parents to herself. Going for rides on her father's back, and helping her mother in the kitchen and on the farm. Growing up, her life would have been simple and sweet. However, something caused her father to be whisked away to the Badlands. Caramel can remember only a little of why her father volunteered to help in such dangerous territory, but after a while, the 'why' didn't matter. Leaf Wind did not return. Gala Blossom was distraught, though she tried to keep her concern and sorrow from her daughter. Little did she expect, that a few months later she would discover she was pregnant again, and a few months more would pass, before Pippin Seed was born. Though born without wings like his sister, the young colt bore some of the colouring of his father, and Gala poured her love into him. There was no jealousy from Caramel, as her mother still gave affection equally to her children, and as such they continued with their lives... though Cara would occasionally stumble upon her mother, staring quietly up at the sky. Time continued on, and soon after the events that led to Caramel's cutie mark, the family of three moved (with the help of the other Apple's) to their own little farm a decent distance from town. Far enough where they could start a new life and build a farm for themselves, but close enough that Pippin could finish his own schooling. After Caramel embraced her mark and destiny, she became an active worker on the farm, taking on as many chores as possible, right alongside her mother. Eventually, Gala moved on. She was able to see little Pippin Seed graduate, before she left her children to make their own marks in Equestria. It was then that the responsibility of providing for her younger brother, and managing the farm, fell onto Caramel Sweets' shoulders. She worked hard, some days going with barely any sleep, and while it was not easy, and there came many arguments and fights between her and Pippin, they slowly worked it out, and gained a bit of normalcy. Now, the two of them make up a small part, of the loving Apple family, and though sometimes they still think of their parents and miss them dearly, they have both moved on with their memories, to make their own marks in this beautiful land. [summary] Caramel Sweets is striving to make a prominent business for sweet treats, featuring apples as the main ingredient. She is working hard at making sure herself, and Pippin Seed, have enough to get by and survive. There are few risks that she would be hesitant to take, if it means that she can continue striving for her dream, and providing as many opportunities for Pippin as possible. However, because of this, she tends to worry more about others around her than herself, and often forgets that she needs the same things which she struggles to give Pippin and her few friends. Despite that, her biggest fears would likely involve losing her little brother, as she sees a lot of their father in him, or being unable to make it, in something she has put so much of her heart into. Few ever get to see that side of her, however, as Caramel can only rarely be found without a friendly smile on her face, and an upbeat attitude proudly on display. Hard working and pleasant, Caramel Sweets will work herself to the bones when she has a project or a goal set before her. A spirit set on seeing things through to the end, once she gives you her word on something, she will not take it back for dang near anything. Though, there are not many ponies that get to take advantage of that, as she doesn't have many friends. Not for other's lack of trying. Caramel just gets so caught up in her work and looking out for her little brother, that she doesn't think about finding companions of her own. Her little brother has tried to help in that sense, but most of the pony's he's tried to nudge her way, were a little put off by her busy-bee attitude. In her mind, she's doing what she loves, and that's enough for her. She's grown up quite a bit, but there's still a lot she needs to learn.
