Earth Pony Raspberry Blossom

[StrawberryBlossom]

[ Pony Related Character ]

Name: Raspberry Blossom. You can get away with calling her Raspberry, but Razzy is reserved for her parents and sister.

Gender: Female

Age: Filly (14 - 16 range)

Species: Earth Pony

Pelt Color: White

Mane/Tail Color & Style: Red with blue streaks. Her tail is carried high and falls roughly to her fetlocks, while her mane is roughly to the bottom of her chest. Both are kept tightly braided, as she is self conscious about the curly cowlicks they tend to fall into otherwise.

Eye Color: Medium-dark green

Cutie Mark: Undiscovered. It will be a blue-frosted cupcake topped with a raspberry, raspberry blossom, and raspberry leaf.

Physique: A large, heftily built Clydesdale type. She is sensitive about this.

Residence: Fillydelphia, above her parents' bakery and patessirie, Sugar Blooms.

Occupation: Assistant Baker

Motivation: Raspberry knows she wants to join her parents' bakery business, and has no reservations about following that path, as she truly loves baking and decorating pastries. But she still hasn't found what it is that makes her stand out in particular. Perhaps she should keep honing her own decorating talents instead of trying to simply imitate her parents, or worry less about her appearance and more about the treat designing that makes her happy....

Likes: Baking, decorating, and eating fancy pastries; days out shopping or, after saving up for a few weeks, a spa trip; rainy weekends when she can sleep in. Raspberry can be slightly high-maintenance, but she works hard for her nice things and loves treating her friends to personalized pastries.

Dislikes: Being teased for her size(she really is just bigboned, thank you, working in a pastry shop has nothing to do with it!), or for being a blank flank at her age. A messy kitchen - making a mess while you work is okay, even fun, but it has to be cleaned up immediately! Poorly decorated cakes, or people who chow down on her beautiful pastries without taking time to look at them - the presentation is part of the whole experience!

Character Summary: Raspberry Blossom is the second child in her family, and unlike her sister Strawberry Blossom she loves baking - or more specifically, cake decorating. Because of this, she's been expecting her cutie mark to appear early, and is frustrated by its no-show status - how is it that Strawberry, who went so long without an obvious passion, got hers before Raspberry, who has always known what her talent was and what she wants to do with her life? Add this to the blank-flank teasing from some of her peers, and her insecurity over the Clydesdale build that Strawberry seems so comfortable with, and Raspberry has to admit she's more than a little jealous of her cutie-marked, confident, out-on-her-own sister. While she misses Strawberry, Raspberry has to admit she's a little glad her sister is out of the house and bakery - maybe now, with the extra workload, she'll really find what's going to make her shine, and maybe even find what makes Strawberry so happy with their most unladylike build.

Maybe the answer is even in Strawberry's garden - someone has to attend it while Strawberry is off wandering around in creepy forests, and while gardening is a chore rather than a passion to Raspberry, an artist can find inspiration anywhere - right?

This looks wonderful so far I get a very strong sense of character and where this OC will belong in the RP.

Approved.
