Pumpkin Bright

Pegasus

Eye Color:

Bright yellow, like a Jack-O-Lantern's candle.

Coat Color:

Jack-O-Lantern Orange.

Mane/Tail/Markings Color & Style:

Pumpkin Bright's mane is much like a Douglas Fir green, resembling the stalk of a fresh pumpkin, which is cut short and spike downwards slightly. It often gets in his eyes when he's working. His tail matches in color, but is slightly longer and is held a little higher than the norm. He usually doesn't change this style for any occasion.

Physique:

Pumpkin is slightly shorter than his Stallion counterparts, and even some Fillies, and is only slightly skinnier than most Ponies.

Cutie Mark:

His Cutie Mark is a Jack-O-Lantern with a Muffin design cut into it, the light from the unseen candle pouring out of it.

Origin/Residence:

Originating from Cloudsdale, Pumpkin now spends his days and nights working at his little Bakery in Manehatten, which has a small apartment above it in which he stays.

The thought of putting delicious muffins into hungry Ponies' stomachs, and smiles on their faces, is what keeps Pumpkin Bright going through his darkest of days!

Character Summary:

Being born in Cloudsdale, like a lot of Pegasi, was a fun, fun time for Pumpkin. He attended a prestigious Fliers academy as a Foal and learned how to fly earlier than most other ponies would, but never really enjoyed his teachings, always wanting to stay inside (he really wasn't very athletic as a Foal, and even now he prefers to stay indoors..) instead of going out and racing with his friends. Being such an Introvert, his Mother sent him to a Summer Camp in hopes he would get more friends, but all he really got was bullied. He doesn't remember (or at least, claims not to remember) being bullied, and whenever the subject is brought up (perhaps by his parents or an old friend..) he tends to try and change it as soon as possible. But, other than those rough spots, the Silver Lining in his Cloud of Foalhood/Colthood shines true-and-through, and is always something he is willing to smile at.

Pumpkin Bright's parents were two wealthy Pegasi of Upper-Class Cloudsdale, willing to splurge their extensive money at almost anything. Living in Cloudsdale at their manor home, still, they gave Pumpkin Bright a good Foalhood, even if they were slightly overshadowing. They are proud of him, in a sense, but still regret that he is not a competitive flier like his brother, though they do enjoy the occasional gift box of pastries sent to them by their Son in Manehatten.

Being a Jack-O-Lantern with a Muffin design cut into it, the candle light pouring forth from the Muffin Shaped orifice, his Cutie Mark could not fit him any better. Pumpkin Bright got his Cutie Mark a bit into his Colt years, having been helping out at the local bakery (which he found he really enjoyed doing), he had been allowed to make any sort of pastry he wanted, by himself! Delighted, he immediately picked Muffins, being his favorite type of baked good, and set off into the kitchen to make it. He had added in Pumpkin bits, Cinnamon, and a plethora of other ingredients, and the result: Pumpkin Bright's famous "Crumbly Pumpkin Chunk Muffins", a favorite both back in Cloudsdale, and in Manehatten.

The single most horrid (and happy!) moment in Pumpkin's Life was when he got his Cutie Mark. Having come from a long line of famous fliers, his parents

weren't too thrilled when he showed them the Muffin Baking Cutie Mark that had been placed on Pumpkin's flank. But, because they are not total monsters, they smiled and supported him, even if he didn't turn out exactly how they wanted. That sounds wonderful, but Pumpkin Bright overheard his father (who was slightly enraged) spew venomous words about Pumpkin's Special Talent. That moment, though slightly traumatizing, pushed him to work even harder to please his parents, so that he could show them that Baking isn't a useless talent for simpletons. But, this has also made him rather anal about how things are done.

Pumpkin left home on his first birthday of stallionhood, feeling that he needed a change in scenery, he headed on down to Manehatten, with the financial aid and approval of his parents. He had worked in a little bakery for a monotonous mare, who later passed away and left the Bakery to gather dust. Seeing this great opportunity out of an even greater misfortune, he sent word to his parents asking for the money to buy the Bakery, and after much pleading and bartering, he won them over. And with the money he made from the bakery, after repaying his parents of course, he added another story to his small bakery, the apartment in which he now lives!

Pumpkin is generally very kind, often handing a helping hoof to those who need it. He has a slight problem with OCD, and when something doesn't meet his standards he might start fidgeting a little, but because of his raising, he does not confront the offender about it. This makes it difficult to work with others, though he does his best. Serving his muffins with a kind, sincere smile, and occasionally an extra one for the Foals, he works his Bakery with slight timid loneliness, the only companion that he is willing to have is his Oven.

Though not entirely sure how he will go about it, he plans to get his muffins on a tray at the Grand Galloping Gala, so that even more ponies can delight in his muffins. But, to do this, he must have friends in high places! Thus, he wishes to get out of his shop and meet somepony new! But will this be as easy as it might sound?

Only time will tell.

Well, there we are, my very first roleplay application! I worked really hard on this, and personally I think it is good enough, though I am leaving it WIP until I get some feedback, just incase I missed something.... Feel free to give constructive criticism!

Oh, and if I can ever manage to get a request put in for a talented artist to take time from their schedule to make the Cutie Mark, I'll definitely get a picture up!

How is this Application coming along?

Actually, I think I'm done. I was waiting to see if someone would point out any flaws in it. Is this good enough?

[MyLittlePonyTales]

Only thing I would suggest is a bit about how/why he moved to Manehattan, and how he got his bakery.

It's really excellent for a first Application. Needs no changes, just a little expansion. Well done!

Alright! I updated, and it's between 'Pumpkin is generally very kind' and 'But, this has also made him rather anal about how things are done.'

Enjoy
