And selling it.Likes: Bartering, family moments, rock collectingDislikes: arguments, spinach, trains blasting their horn when they whiz by her house at 3 AM (seriously, what's the deal with that?)Character Summary: Inkie Pie was born and raised on a Rock Farm, same as her sisters, Blinkie and Pinkie. Her foalhood was average, if not terribly dull. The sisters' days often consisted of house chores, schooling, helping out with rock harvests, and family meals. Once in awhile they played in the yard, but it was often a quick game of hide-and-seek for the most part. After awhile they learned where all the good hiding spots were.Though one of her favorite foal-hood hobbies, was rock collecting. During her time with the rock farm, when she and her sisters weren't out harvesting or doing their chores, sometimes she'd find neat little rocks. Rocks with funny colors, rocks with pretty patterns, or rocks with funny shapes! She even found a rock that she thought kinda looked like the Princess! She kept them all on a little shelf by her bed and liked to look at them all the time. She always hoped that there was somepony out there who could appreciate rocks like she did.But one day she found an especially funny-looking rock by an old tree! It kinda shined a bit, but was real dirty. After a whole afternoon of rinsing it off and scrubbing it hard, she saw that it was kinda like a big golden glassy thing! A rock? It wasn't like any rock she ever saw. And when she looked closer at it, she thought she could see a bug inside!Whoa!She hadn't been this excited about something since Pinkie got her cutie mark! She showed it to everypony she could, which at the time amounted to her sisters and her mother and father. While interesting, her parents were more focused on meeting the quota for the harvest. When it came time to bring the latest load of rocks into town, Inkie went with her father, and brought her favorite new rock with her. While she waited at the cart and her father spoke with somepony, and older mare noticed the little filly playing with something! She asked if she could take a look at it, seeming genuinely intrigued. Inkie gladly handed it over, telling her how neat it was, and that there was a bug inside and everything! The older mare informed her that the 'rock' was actually called 'Amber', a fossilized piece of tree sap! Sometimes, unfortunate bugs got caught in this sap, and it preserved them for many many years after it hardened! Wow!On top of the sudden lesson, the mare told her she'd love to include the little piece in her own collection! At a museum!! Another rock collecting pony! She offered little Inkie 100 bits for it. She was shocked! She had never seen that kind of money! Knowing how special the Amber was to her, Inkie thought it would be super nice to indulge a fellow collector and make the sale.When her father came back, he was at first a bit irate to find his daughter literally rolling in a small pile of bits on the back of the cart, demanding to know where she got them. When she told him the story, he seemed just as surprised as she was... and proud! When prompted by her father to look, little Inkie had finally earned her cutie mark! It looked almost just like the Amber she sold!Over time, she learned that it represented her talent of appreciating things other ponies might consider junk, much like how her family initially thought the fossil she found was nothing more than a fancy rock. As the years went on, she kept finding all sorts of neat and forgotten treasures! Old scooters getting spruced up into sweet rides! Making a nice picture frame out of a bunch of discarded ones, and so on and so forth! Her knack for making 'trash' into things desirable gave her an idea! Open a shop!Eventually she did just that. Having made enough on the farm, she bought a home in Hoofington, using the ground floor for her new pawn shop! "Inkie Pie's House of Fixin's!"Everyday she would meet ponies wanted to give her their old junk for bits, and then sell it to somepony else who could appreciate it all over again! Her official business slogan was the old saying 'Somepony's junk is another pony's treasure!'She lives there to this day, making a decent happy living, and still finding time to be out and about and even have get-togethers with her loving sisters. The three of them have remained extremely close, and enjoy spending time together. Blinkie and Pinkie are always near and dear to Inkie.And she still has her rock collection.Personality:Inkie Pie is a glass-half-full pony who tries to find the good in most days. She keeps a positive attitude, especially on the job. Outside of the pawn shop, she's plenty approachable and enjoys meeting new ponies. Her social attitude had developed dramatically since leaving the secluded family rock farm. Things weren't so plain and dreary in Hoofington, but she appreciates her family and loves them to bits!
