Character Summary: Hopesong is the only daughter of Midnight Brand, a former soldier who has become a sort of hermit in the Roughrider Ridge. The two of them have lived a solitary life there together, without much interaction with others. As a result, Hopesong has no pony friends outside her own mother.

Needless to say, Hopesong is a lonely young filly, but that's not to say she's entirely unhappy. She keeps from being sad because she dislikes sadness. Hopesong is instinctively very good at understanding others, and especially her mother, and can easily see just how difficult things are for her, as well as how much she loves her. She learned young that complaining about anything just made her mother sad, she's taught herself to never complain.

Hopesong is mature for a filly her age. She knows how to cook, clean and is never hesitant to do any work her mother might request of her. She's had to grow up quickly, as her mother is often away for long spells trying to make money. Even when her mother is home, she's constantly trying to do more than her fair share of the work so that her mother will have time to relax.

Her mother often returns from her ventures with gifts for Hopesong including toys, and as she grown older, lots of books. She's never been to school, so she's learned most all she knows from these books. Hopesong adores exciting books about adventures most. In the past, she's tried to get her mother to tell her stories at well, but doing so makes a sad look appear in her eyes, so Hopesong doesn't do that anymore.

Hopesong has a strong affinity for animals. She spends a lot of her free time tending to and caring for wild animals. She has her own pet cat that her mother bought her on one of her trips who she particularly loves. Hopesong, as her name might imply, also enjoys singing, and is quite talented.

Personality wise, Hopesong is a quiet filly, but she's not particularly shy. On the contrary, she is ultimately curious and cheerful, she is just very sensitive and aware when it comes to others' feelings. Having had limited pony interaction in her life, she's a little awkward around other ponies. When there isn't a book in her hooves, an animal to play with, or a song in her head and her mother isn't around, Hopesong does become quite lonesome and sad, but she recovers quickly.

Hopesong does not have her cutie mark yet.

Animal Companion: Hopesong has a small, female black cat she has named Sable. Sable is a playful cat with a bit of a mean streak, though she's more quick to show it to Midnight than Hopesong, who she is more affectionate toward.

Looks like she and Naughty Tortie could be friends. XD

[RarityDash]

Yeah. It definitely sounds like it. I can't imagine there being too many fillies in the Roughrider Ridge for Hopesong to meet. Good to see there's at least one.

[Shimmer Star]

Maybe we can start up an RP once she's approved

[RarityDash]

Sure. That sounds good to me.
