Character Summary: Arcy was born and raised in the Northern Solstice Heights, mainly by her father, Pepper Mint. Her father played a very important role in her life, him being the only one there for her. (her mother after seemed 'too busy' for either of them and seldom spent time with) He would often spend time with her, one of their favorite activities being visiting flying shows such as those of the famous Wonderbolts.

This simple yet wonderful life wouldn't remain the same forever. When Arcy was a little older, in school herself, her father acquired a serious illness and, not much longer, passed due to it. Since then Arcy's life had changed completely, she was 'alone' in the world. She had no friends, her mother cared little for her, and the only pony she looked up to her whole life was gone. She had to learn to move on, to adapt, and motivate herself, feeling she had nothing else left.

Over time she had gotten used to it, no less hurt, but much more able to deal with it. She passed her free time with simple activities such as going for walks or exploring random areas. One of her walks led her to her Grandfather's house. Although it had been abandoned for years, she decided 'investigate' the area anyways. She found her way to a shed in the back, and made her way inside it, finding little but a mass of dusty crafting supplies and a few cobwebs around, one directly under the windowsill on the work desk. It was home to a large but calm spider; her first reaction was to jump and move away uneasily, but within moments, she felt a peculiar calm feeling. It did not harm her or chase her, nor did it fear her and run. It simply sat in place in its web watching her, and she curiously watched back, as if a sort of quiet 'stare-off'.

After several minutes, Arcy averted her attention to the craft supplies around, needles, threads, fabrics, patterns- Grandfather was a strange but interesting pony, he enjoyed sewing in his free time; a Colt sewing seemed odd enough, but it didn't seem to bother Arcy much. Seeing it as 'just something to do' Arcy grabbed one of the patterns- resembling a small stuffed animal. She started off slowly, and began sewing the base of it; then her hooves seemed to 'memorize' the pattern, moving faster and faster along, as if she had been experienced in it already. Suddenly, she looked up, tossing the pattern away, and noticing the spider from earlier, still watching her in silence. She went back to the creation in progress, and undone a few strings, to redo them in another improvised manner, and continued sewing, now without a solid pattern.

She had finished it, a small plushy of the spider on the wall. She smiled and hugged it, feeling accomplished and- for once, no longer alone. She called him 'Mister Eyes' because ever since then, she felt he was the only one to watch over her. At the same moment, she felt a flash from behind her. She glanced back to see that she had gotten her cutie mark; without knowing even knowing about it, she had found the one thing she was special at! Once again, she was happy.

Since then, her skills in crafting have improved dramatically, and much more widespread, including engraving, embroidering, many more forms of sewing and fabrickwork, metalwork, and even a small amount of cooking.

Upon coming old enough, she moved away, and made a business out of her work- selling scarves, socks, bags, or near anything else asked of her for commission. She currently travels Equestria, still accompanied Mr. Eyes (although she doesn't tell many ponies of him, out of fear of them not understanding) working out of her own bags as a sort of 'traveling salespony' She hopes to find somewhere to call 'home', but is currently content as is.
