Name:
"My name is Avalon, but you can call me Ava, if you like. It means 'island of apples', rather appropriate if you think about it, a stroke of luck on my parents part. They just liked it because it sounded mystical and magic-like, and they'd hoped I'd follow in their hoof steps and be a magical little filly who could bring some luck to the family apple farm."
Gender:
"I'm a female, of course. I wouldn't have called myself a filly if I weren't!"
Talent:
"I'm the best candy apple maker you'll ever meet! I don't mean to brag, but I've never met anyone on this green earth that could beat me at it, or even come close. Ponies come from miles around to taste my sweet treats!"
Background:
"I was born in this humble little town, nothing really special about it. My parents had a lot of other children, and we all helped them run the farm. I never much enjoyed getting my hooves dirty, but my older brother was sickly, and the other siblings were mostly too young to do any real work. Dad couldn't do it all by himself, and Mom had her hooves full taking care of the kiddos. So I helped him and squeezed in schoolwork when I could. I didn't have many friends, but I was close enough to my family that it didn't matter. My favorite time of year was fall, when our hard work paid off, and we'd get to harvest all of the apples. Dad always looked so proud, and let me pick the first one for helping him out. One year I was going to grab a really shiny green apple, and it dropped right down on my head. It knocked me clean out! When Dad woke me up, he told me I'd gotten my cutie mark, and I was so shocked when I saw that candy apple there! I'd been making them frequently in the time I wasn't helping out, but I never thought it'd be my talent, even when my parents and siblings told me how good they were... I guess I was being too modest!"
Quirks:
"My quirks? Ummm... sometimes I like dressing up and pretending I'm someone else. That, and I don't really like the taste of apples. I love making them for others, but they're just not my cup of tea. I prefer oranges."
Personality:
"If I had to describe myself? Hard-working, kind, sweet, then again, maybe I'm being too nice. I do have a short temper, kind of like a sour green apple beneath a sugary caramel coating. It doesn't take much to get me sparked. I'm also extremely protective of my family, and if anyone ever tried to harm them, I'd probably attack without even thinking."
