Character Summary:

Gerty Greetings was born in Ponyville. There she lived with her parents who, like her, were also land ponies. She also had a little sister who looked up to her dearly. Her mother was an artist and her father was an actor who worked in Canterlot. He would spend months away from the family leaving only his wife to take care of Gerty and her younger sister. Often Gerty Greetings felt sad about her father not being around as often as she’d like him to be. She saw all the other fillies and foals at her school with both of their parents. But, most of the time Gerty only had one to be with her. It made her feel like an outcast. But she stayed strong for her younger sister, who equally missed their father when he went off to work.

Then one morning when her father was about to leave, Gerty got up early and grabbed onto his leg. She was begging him not to leave because she knew he was going to be gone for a long time. He turned to her and said. ”I promise I’ll write to you this time... You’re not alone. I’m always with you in your heart.” Gerty Greetings let go of her father’s leg and gave him a kiss before he left the house. She knew he’d never break his promise. He always kept his promises.

Two days later a letter arrived. It was addressed to Gerty. She opened it up to find that it was a letter from her father. Inside the envelope were several photos of her father both on the stage of the theatre and a few off stage. She beamed a bright smile. Gerty Greetings loved the photos. They were so special and meaningful to her that she wanted to send something equally as special back to him. That’s when she got the idea of making him a greetings card. Gerty worked really hard on making it perfect. When it was completed, her cutie mark appeared.

As she grew up, Gerty Greetings made her own small greetings card business. At first business was very slow. But two weeks into the card making business, it all changed. She out wearing her saddle bags stuffed with all sorts of cards she’d made. There were birthday cards, get well soon cards, cards congratulating success, cards welcoming new foals into the world and cards for weddings. Gerty Greetings was daydreaming while she was walking. She wasn’t paying much attention to where she was going when suddenly she stepped in a bucket, fell over, only to get her other hoof stuck in a bucket. Frantically she reared and kicked, trying to get the buckets off her hooves. They came flying off and she kicked a wall.

Gerty Greetings ended up going to the local doctor’s clinic where she met the love of her life. While he was treating her, they got talking. She told him about her little business and he even looked at her cards. He bought some get well soon cards. He told her that they would be perfect for cheering up some of his patients. That made Gerty smile. From then on she spent more time with the love of her life. Soon, she moved out of her parent’s house and went to live with him. They got married and had three beautiful off spring, which grew up and moved out getting jobs of their own.

Gerty Greetings had some clear flaws. She day dreamed too much. This meant that she blocked out the world around her and often got lost in a world of her own thoughts. She was also very clumsy. She would get herself into all sorts of crazy situations. These situations meant that she saw her husband’s place of work several times per year. When those two flaws were combined, she was a walking disaster. Since then she has learned not to day dream outside of the house and to watch her step. It has made her slightly less accident prone and she has had less visits to the clinic. But, she still has her moments where accidents do happen. But one accident a week for her is a great achievement.
