History:

 

Jazz, like all other earth ponies, was born in Maretime Bay. Also like other earth ponies she was taught to fear pegasi and unicorns. Canterlogin played a large role in maintaining that ruse, and when all of that came crashing down, opportunities started opening up. Before that though, Jazz found herself constantly enjoying the presence of others, and when she was growing up she was the pony that all the mares would come to when they needed a hoof job. Even when she was a filly and got into her mother’s hoof paints and accessories she found that she had a knack for it.

 

That was actually when she got her cutie mark. She had snuck into her mother’s room and found her makeup. Being the curious filly that she was, she started rifling through the hoofpaints, files, and other items for styling hooves. She didn’t know how to use some of the more advanced Items, and she didn’t want to make too much of a mess. She knew that her mom would tan her flank if she made a giant mess for her to clean up. Not to mention, the waste of beauty supplies. 

 

She did know how to use paints and files though, and after a little bit her hooves were silky smooth and she had them painted a vibrant purple with glittery rings and stars running along the circumference. She was so happy when she finished that she risked getting herself in trouble as she ran to her mom. At first the reaction was about what you would expect, scolding the filly for getting into her makeup without her permission. But, after going to the room and confirming that it wasn’t a complete mess, she looked at her daughters hooves and saw how brilliant they looked and the brief moment of annoyance turned into a moment of pride as she complimented Jazz. After the compliments, a small glow formed on her flank, and a lavender horseshoe appeared overlaying a hoofpaint brush that was a deep indigo with sparkles around it. 

 

After that, hooficures became pretty much a daily thing for the filly, ponies lining up around school for Jazz to paint their hooves. This continued all through school and she found that she loved working and styling hooves. It gave her a way to connect with other ponies and help them with any problems that they had while making their hooves look amazing. 

 

As time went on, she also felt like she had a knack for music as well. More often than not she found herself singing in the shower or in school plays. More than once she had gotten a lead role, and she thought that she might have had a chance of doing more with it, but helping ponies with their hooves and being able to talk with them.

 

As luck would have it, her fortune would spin to where she would get to do both! After the first unicorn came to Maretime Bay and initially scared all the rainbows out of everypony. Seriously, after everything they had been taught, how could they think anything else initially? Though she had to admit, the whole going to war thing was definitely not her thing. In fact, she was completely against violence of any kind and initially just wanted to stay away from all that nonsense.

 

However, once it was proven that the Unicorns and Pegasi weren’t a threat at all, and all of the magic came back, she ended up making a few pegasi friends. One of of them just happened to be pegasus royaly, and wouldn’t you have it, was a pop star in Zephyr Heights, and she was looking to open a styling salon that incorporated relaxing mane and hoof treatments along with singing and dancing! That was the best of both worlds for Jazz and she immediately applied for the position. Plus! Most of the unicorns and pegasi that came to Maretime Bay after “The Great Unification'' were actually really nice, including Princess Pipp. And Rocky, the other pegasus stylist that Pipp hired quickly became one of her go-to friends. Now, Mane Melody is open for business and she gets to work with her customers, be there for them, listen to them, and be able to sing and dance to boot! Jazz is always ready to meet a new face and make a new friend and help them through whatever they might need help with. 

 

Character Personality:

 

Jazz Hooves is a very bubbly mare that loves spreading happiness in her own way. Whether it’s trying to talk them through a sad situation, or just helping them shine up their hooves with a new style or two. On the flip side of that coin, as much as she likes helping others feel happy, she has a hard time accepting help from others when she’s on the other end of that spectrum. In her effort to keep everypony else in high spirits, when she’s feeling sad or gloomy herself she’ll try to distance herself from others. She doesn’t want her own sadness to bleed over into others so she has a habit of trying to hide it. 

 

Character Summary:

 

Jazz Hooves is an earth pony stylist at Mane Melody who focuses on hooficures and spending quality time with her clients. She takes a little bit longer than most, but you can’t rush perfection and she uses that time to really connect with her customers. She never wanted to be known as a pony who only worked and moved on to the next client. She wants nothing more to see smiles on the faces of all her friends.
