Roleplay Type: World of Equestria

Name: Spearmint

Sex: Female

Age: Mare

Species: Pegasus

Eye colour: Clear blue

Coat: Icy blue

Mane/Tail: Both Spearmint's mane and tail are two-colored - a pale green on the outside, yet the central section is a wintry green. While Spearmint's tail is downright average in style (straight, yet somewhat long), her mane is styled heavily in the front, into three locks, two of them a paler green on the outside, yet the center, larger one is the wintry green one. The remainder of her mane, as well-kept as her tail - reaches to the base of her neck.

Physique: Spearmint isn't much for physical strength, instead preferring to focus on her gift as a Pegasus - wings, and flight. As such, the somewhat small Pegasus is an accomplished flier, preferring speed over precision - yet she's no slouch in precision. Endurance-wise, Spearmint is not the type of Pegasus to fly for days - but she can hold her own.

Residence: Ponyville

Occupation: Winter Weatherpony

Cutie Mark: A series of seven windswept snowflakes, Spearmint earned the Cutie Mark on a wintry trip to the Vysokii district, in Stalliongrad. Her love of winter was rarely brighter than that day, one of the coldest Stalliongrad had seen that year - however, when it came time to leave the forested trail and return to the hotel, Spearmint would wander off the beaten path willingly - to plow through a nearby snowbank or two - only to lose her way with the snowfall. But her love of winter and the cold caused few problems for Spearmint, managing to find her way back to the cabin where her parents were staying - and the surprise in seeing the Mark she had earned in the trip itself... few things were as surprising as that, both for Spearmint and her parents.

Unique Traits: Spearmint constantly wears a pink scarf and matching hoofmittens.

History: Born to Snow Squall and White Ice in Cloudsdale, as a filly, Spearmint was never the straight-A student her mother wanted her to be, nor was she the aspiring weatherpony her father wished she would be. In fact, Spearmint would more often than not saying that she would never be a weatherpony - instead preferring to focus on what she wanted to be - a racer. She would be forced to study by Snow Squall on more than one occasion, though, and while Spearmint is grateful for this today - she'll also mention that not being able to focus on her racing career is what prevented her from truly reaching elite status as a racing pony. Nonetheless, Spearmint performed quite well in races and won her share of them.

However, the factor that stopped Spearmint's dreams cold wasn't her studies, but rather, her weather preference. Always preferring the wintry weather, Spearmint always seemed to be better, happier, and even more confident in the winter than she was in any other season, and while her performances in races seemed to reflect such - nearly always in the top 3 in winter and the short transitions to autumn or spring - and in the lower half of the field in any warmer weather - the appearance of her Cutie Mark only reinforced that fact. It was when her career as a racer started to falter, really before she truly turned professional, that she was forced to explore other ways of life, other professions, and ironically, she would follow in her family's hoofsteps - more than half of her family worked as weatherponies, and Spearmint would be the next one of the family to find her calling - unfortunately, her love for winter had also affected just how good she was at bringing such weather. She would quickly find out that she was excellent at bringing in many types of cold weather - but her ability for bringing in anything else - be it a thunderstorm or even anything simple as a rain cloud, suffered.

Finally unable to face her failures in racing which were becoming well-documented in the city, she decided to take up the job of a weatherpony, but as much as she loved the city of Cloudsdale, and being with her kin, she could no longer stay, the focus of competition, racing and being the best too much for her. She decided to move to Ponyville without so much as a word - and while her life appears to be looking up in the friendly town, she does wish she could get back to a racing life.

Character Personality: Spearmint is quite the friendly pony most of the time - and will usually approach anypony that interests her, be it to talk, enjoy a nice flight, or even a good meal. In fact, Spearmint is such a fan of flight that one will rarely see her on the ground. Her nature as a Pegasus is still very much within her, though, and if challenged to a race - she will have a hard time turning such a test down. Spearmint also adores the winter season, and is most active then, but come the summer months, her dislike for the warm weather will usually mean she will quiet down, become less active, and generally less cheerful. She will sometimes look for an isolated corner to create the wintry weather she loves so much, as well. Another thing Spearmint has a hard time turning down is if she sees a friend in trouble - she will often look to lend a helping hoof.

Character Summary: Spearmint is a friendly weather-pony that specializes in the winter weather - and loves everything related to winter. Unfortunately, this also translates to an equal dislike of most things summer-related. Born in Cloudsdale yet recently moved to Ponyville - Spearmint will struggle to say no to any race - and a good meal is also something she will rarely decline. She does wish she could get back to a racing life, though...
