Physique: Shorter and smaller than a typical diamond dog, but has the usual over-built upper body and tiny legs.

Residence: Born in a diamond dog pack near Stalliongrad, now drifting around Equestria, finding work where he can.

Occupation: Cook

History: Regrost was the runt of his diamond dog pack. He was frequently teased by the other pups due to his size. It was discovered early on that he had difficulties eating the raw meat that was favored by much of the pack, so his mother learned to cook for him, and taught Regrost as he got older. He found that he had a talent for it, but that became another source of teasing from the other youngsters.

One of his primary tormenters happened to be the son of the pack Alpha. When Regrost was just out of adolescence, the Alpha died, and his son became the new Alpha. The new Alpha and his cronies forced Regrost into a fight, and he naturally lost. He was cast out of the pack in the middle of winter and stripped of his wealth. The only thing he managed to keep was one diamond earring that he wears to this day.

Injured, freezing, and starving, he managed to stumble into the pony city of Stalliongrad. Luckily, the crew of a pirate airship found him, and helped to nurse him back to heath. Regrost had been taught that ponies were weak and blindly obedient to their princess. But these ponies were far from weak, and were living outside normal society looking for riches and adventure. Regrost saw an opportunity with these ponies to rebuild his wealth and maybe as a way to get back at his old pack. He taught himself to cook pony foods as well as carnivore foods, and got made the ship's cook. The crew gave him his nickname of Gravy, and he now prefers that to his old name.

Unfortunately, the crew broke up, and Gravy found himself with no real place to go. He couldn't go back to his own pack, and joining another diamond dog pack cold be difficult. At the same time, he didn't fit in with the militaristic society in Stalliongrad. So, he's recently been drifting around Equestria, with a huge pack of pots, pans, and cooking utensils... and gems, of course. He picks up work where he can, looking for some place where he can make a really good score... and maybe something he could call a pack.

Character Summary/Personality: Like most diamond dogs, Gravy is motivated by greed, but more than that; He is determined to make something out of himself, despite his limitations, and prove that the pack that rejected him was wrong. While he is not above jokes and pranks, Gravy is usually rather gruff toward others. He can be fiercely loyal to any group he'd consider a 'pack,' but he's not ready to trust anyone that much yet. Gravy isn't a fighter, but he will defend himself and others, and he has access to a wide assortment of knives. Though his smaller stature makes it easier for him to live among ponies than other dogs, he still gets angry when someone comments on it.
