Cutie Mark Story

Derpy had always been a lively pony. She loved being the center of attention and was quite frankly a ham. Brightening up a room brought a big smile to her face and she always took it upon herself to cheer a pony up. But when one pony said she was 'silly' it stuck with the little filly. Silly? She was charming, not silly.

Derpy had to prove that she could be serious. The next day at school, she resisted the urge to sing her favorite song, dance like nopony was looking, or get distracted by shiny things. She was a serious pony after all. Serious ponies didn't turn straws into vampire bat teeth or make funny faces while in deep thought. She also had to keep her voice in check, speaking in a deep serious tone instead. And for good measure, a pair of sunglasses for that extra 'cool' vibe.

Later on, she ran into one of her friends. They seemed really sad about something. Derpy wanted nothing more than to cheer him up but she had a problem. How did serious ponies go about doing that? For the rest of the day she followed him from a safe distance, watching. His mood never improved on it's own. And he looked so lonely. She just couldn't stand seeing how sad and isolated he was. That was it. Derpy dropped the serious act and threw away the glasses. After apologizing to a schoolmate for knocking them in the head with a pair of glasses, she trotted right up to the sad colt. Not as a serious pony, but as Derpy.

Thankfully, the forgetful filly left a bottle of bubbles in her saddlebag she was meaning to throw out. She blew bubbles over his head and claimed it was a bubble invasion and only smiles could vanquish the soapy evilness. He tried to resist but the corners of his mouth turned up when she encouraged him to "Do it for Equestria!" It was a success. Her friend was cheered up and Derpy couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Spending a day as a different pony made her realize just how much she loved being her. It might be silly but it was her silly. And knowing how much potential happiness it brought others, she wouldn't have it any other way.

Her newly cheered up friend soon pointed out that she suddenly had bubbles on her flank. Derpy initially tried to wipe them off, thinking they were real bubbles. But when that didn't work, she realized it was her cutie mark! At first she was confused, thinking she was destined to be a soap maker. But after some more consideration, she realized the bubbles represented her personality and adoration for the small things in life.

History

Her parents moved from Cloudsdale to Ponyville shortly after Derpy was born. Her mother was a former guard pony and her father was a part of the weather patrol.
For as long as Derpy could remember, her eyes were always wonky so to speak. Her odd vision was a bit of a challenge. But when Derpy had to focus, simply closing one eye sufficed. During her early life, she used to wear an eye patch in public, feeling like she would draw negative attention to herself unless she kept her eyes a secret. When ponies would ask, she'd explain that she wanted to be a pirate when she grow up. That much was true. But she only wanted to be a pirate because it allowed her to continue wearing an eye patch well into adulthood.

The eye patch wearing days soon came to a halt when her parents learned of it. They encouraged her to embrace her unique eyes. It was nothing to be ashamed of and made her special. It took some time, but the young pony learned to embrace her anomaly, even showing her off at school to whoever was curious.

After reaching adulthood, Derpy became a mail pony. She hated sitting still for very long so it seemed like the perfect match. And it was! Derpy tries her best, feeling a sense of profound responsibility. Sleep soundly, fair citizens of Ponyville. Thy mail shall be delivered!

It wasn't always easy though. At first she would day dream and make a lot of mistakes. Luckily for her, her boss was forgiving and patient. Now she's a fine mail pony with a sense of duty who learned to focus, for the most part, while on the job.

When Derpy was a filly, she loved to make muffins with her mom. After being taught the family recipe, they were the only thing Derpy baked with success. One of her favorite things to do is give muffins out for free during delivery runs. Now that her mother returned to life as a guard pony, Derpy sends a muffin her way every week and waits for feedback on how to improve her skills. Perhaps one day Derpy will try her hoof at other baked goods. But for now it's free muffins for everypony!

Character Summary

Derpy is full of spirit. Her optimistic outlook and energy often becomes contagious to those around her. And her abundance of energy is quite evident as she gets very fidgety if she has to sit still for very long. She's very confident and cherishes her positive traits as well as her flaws.

Though she's usually a very fun pony to be around, Derpy will often say things without thinking, potentially offending those around her. She's also a terrible liar, blurting out whatever it is she meant to lie about in the first place. Which comes to another point. Derpy speaks her mind at all times without discretion. Luckily, her childlike wonder and upbeat attitude are genuine, preventing her from saying anything truly hurtful for the most part.

Derpy is clumsy and air headed more often than not. She gets easily distracted and will become absolutely sucked into something, loosing all awareness of her surroundings in the process. This has lead to several accidents before. But she quickly blows them off as learning experiences.
She's rarely upset or mad but tends to be rather naive.

She also loves attention rather it be the simple company of a friend or dozens of eyes watching her on a stage. She also takes her job very seriously. The citizens of Ponyville trust her with their mail and she must honor that! As a result she doesn't usually make too many mistakes while on the job since she tries harder to keep from getting distracted.

While muffins are one of her favorite things to eat, Derpy is also a sucker for anything with a hint of sweetness. She also loves sweet tea, chocolate, and any kind of cheese. Derpy also never grew out of her taste as a filly. She still loves stickers, glitter, balloons, ect.

She adores books but hates to read them. Her mind wanders too much while reading lengthy text, preventing her from comprehending the story for very long. That doesn't stop the mare from collecting books though. There's just something about a shelf full of books.

All in all Derpy is a bubbly pony with a lot of charm who tries to make the best of her flaws and loves to brighten up a room. With her social fearlessness and childlike curiosity, there's never a dull moment when this pony's around!
