I wanted to practice some different chibi styles, as it has been so long since I've drawn them. Additionally, I saw and can draw many different ones.
The oc's used are all owned by my younger sister, and she personally likes the bottom left one. I really like the big eyes and bellies from the top left, but the stick and sharp-ended hooves from the bottom right ones.
DC has always held a very special place in my heart. I grew up watching the shows, and the heroes who wore the name Robin have always been my fav's. Especially Damian and Dick. The latest and the first Robin are very dear to my heart.
So this is my sona!
The prior Robins inspired her to go out on her own and try being a hero, but things didn't go that well, since she didn't have any training or anything! But that didn't stop her, and she kept going till she finally caught the eye of Nightwing, who took her under his wing (heh).
I've always felt that Dick deserved his own student, yes, the Teen Titans could be argued for that, but it's just not as close or special as Batman and Robin are! But he deserves it! So boom, I'm his student now.
(Also, yes, I know a character from DC already has the name Nightingale, but it doesn't even really matter, as it's not like she's a canon character)
The flowers in the piece are the bush flower: Hydrangea, and the spider lily. These are their fav's, but I did try to make the two hydrangeas different, like one is smaller in petals and more pressed together than the other.
Characters featured are their Vizux sonas, my original fantasy race, which is basically mouse + peacock.
Wanted something new for the profile; it has been a few years since I made the last one.
It's of the same sona/mascot as before, my Vizuk girl, which is my own little fantasy furry race. She has been changed a little, an update one would call it. The race is a mix of rat/mouse, peacock, felion, and then with some horns for extra flair.
Rat out for the year! Happy holidays and New Year's, everyone!
Maud "Slate" Pie
I've kept Maud mostly the same all over, her pallet and color scheme are already good in my taste.
She now has spots to match Pinkie but also as a hint to her special talent, as I wanted it to look like an opened geode.
I didn't like that her cutie mark was only just a rock, it didn't say a single thing about her special talent. Now it says a bit more, showing off that she can find true beauty under what others might just see as a rock.
She wears her normal dress, as I didn't see a reason to change it. I've however added a small bracelet, which has different beads, to represent her sisters. As she might not show or say it much but she loves them all dearly.
Mudbriar "Walnut"
I've darkened his pallet a little, more so his overall design didn't end up too light or dark. I've given him cloven hooves and a long tail, as I see him from a family of mixed unicorn and earth ponies.
His markings are like branches/roots of trees, showing his connection to the trees.
Same story for his cutie mark as Maud's, it was too simple for what his special talent is. So I've added a book but it's standing by its opening, as a small hint to tents, as he travels to examine trees, learning about as many as he can and writing it down for others to read.
Mudbriar now wears a travel backpack, which is for his travels. He doesn't wear much else, as he doesn't see the need to.
Gilda "Glory" + "Shady" Limestone Pie
Gilda"Glory"
I've darkened her whole pallet and added some markings. As she's a mountain lion + tiger in this AU.
Her design hasn't been changed much, I've added some jewelry but not much else.
"Shady"Limestone Pie
Limestone's pallet is mostly the same, its his patterns that darken his look. Lime is trans in my AU, as his anger issues were caused by him not feeling whole/as he should be.
His cutie mark has been changed to a broken opened geode, with lime-green stone, which resembles a lime.
He has a few pricings and wears a his band's t-shirt, which says ROAD KILL, Gilda also has one but she mostly wears it to his concerts, showing her support.
Trouble Shoes + Marble "Droplet" Pie
Trouble Shoes
I've made Trouble Shoes slightly darker and added a few lighter strips to his mane and tail. He also now has a beard, which to those who don't know him, makes him look even more scary than before.
For his cutie mark I wanted something more than just "bad luck". He of course still struggled to find out what he was meant to do, as he thought the clown nose and wig was some cruel joke the world did to him.
As for his clothing, I went with a nice jacket, kept his hat and his weeding ring.
Marble"Droplet"Pie
Marble's pallet has mostly stayed the same, only receiving slight changes and the usual markings that come along with my redesigns.
Her cutie mark now shows off how well she makes jewelry with the beautiful gems they find in Appleloosa. To me, her cutie mark never told a single thing about what she was to do, it said marble but what else? So now, she's a crystal collector and seller.
The clothing she wears is a simple shawl, her weeding ring, a few earrings, a few flowers from her middle oldest son, a sun anklet to represent her oldest son and a small bat wing hair tie to represent her youngest son.
Ship: Maud "Slate" Pie + Mudbriar "Walnut"
Fossilized Maple
Maple is very different from their parents, not just in style, personality or special interest. Maple has a few hidden disabilities, meaning many won't know what it is unless it's told to them.
Maple is dyslexic, meaning she has a harder time reading and writing, in Maples's case, she has a harder time writing than reading. Even though she may not be as fast as the rest in the literary world, that doesn't stop her, her way of creative thinking comes very handy with different tasks around the rock and wood farm.
Maple also doesn't care about pronouncing, he's someone who goes with the flow a lot, which can be seen in his cutie mark. Its different patterns in a moving motion, show how flexible he is and how his talent is noticing the small things and being able to help in almost any situation.
LimeDa Kids
Ship: Gilda "Glory" + "Shady" Limestone Pie
Gloomy Glory
Gloomy is small for a griffin and his age, reason why is because he has dwarfism, which is also the reason why he had been abandoned. Griffin's used to throw away the weak and sick chicks, under Twilight's rule these traditions have become illegal but some are still able to get past and go unnoticed.
Luckily Gloomy was found before anything bad happened.
Gloomy is the oldest of the two but always gets mistaken for a small child. He has gotten used to it over time but it still annoys him. Because of his condition, he has a harder time flying, reaching things and certain things over longer periods of time.
Glaze Glory
Glaze was a large baby, this caused one of his wings to become deformed and so, he too was abandoned by his mother. He managed to survive till a representative of Twilight noticed him as they were traveling to the Dragon Lands.
Glaze grew and grew in size and soon enough the bed he was using in the orphanage was too small but soon enough he was adopted by Gilda and Lime. He still grows and will for plenty of years to come, as dragons live for centuries.
CheesePie Kids
Ship: Pinkamena "Pinkie" Diane Pie + Cheese Sandwich
Lil Cheese
Even though he is short, Lil Cheese is the oldest of his siblings. He was born too early because of Pinkie's diabetes and high blood pressure, causing him to be c-sectioned at birth. Pinkie had only started on the medication to help her with these conditions.
Lil Cheese has some problems with breathing at higher rates, meaning he can't play as much as other kids. Running for too long was also very dangerous for him, as his lungs never fully developed.
Lil Cheese was for most of his life homeschooled but as he got older and promised to watch out for himself, he was allowed to enroll. The teachers were told of his condition and Lil Cheese was happy to finally be able to be with other kids his age. Of course, he loves his family but he had always dreamed of making friends on his own. He did feel outside, as he couldn't play as the others but he had mostly gotten used to that feeling because of his younger siblings and watching them play.
As Lil Cheese grew up, he got his cutie mark while making a cheesecake for his Bright Luck, as it was her birthday. He wanted to do it alone, as he had helped a lot throughout his childhood and felt as if he could do it alone now, he wanted this to be his gift to her, as he didn't really know what she wanted that he could get.
At the birthday party, as the slices of cake were handed out, he received compliments and he felt so proud. He then received his cutie mark and everyone was happy and excited by it.
He now works as a writer, writing stories of his life growing up, and his hardships, and has even written a best seller of a romance fantastical world, which world was made very open and broad. In his free time, he likes to go out to schools, talking about his disability. Helping teach that there's nothing wrong with being different.
Pop Tart
Pop Tart is the tallest in the whole family, her broader makes her stand out and has been an insecurity all her life, as she feels rather less feminine than she wishes to look like.
Even though her tall figure might frighten some, her heart is solid gold, and she's incredible with children.
Even at a young age, she liked taking care of the younger twins, she was the first one to be there if one of them began to cry, even scolding her parents about it. Even though they couldn't do anything about it, as sometimes babies just cry.
As she enrolled in school, she became the popular one, as she looked the oldest and her warm and welcoming atmosphere. However, as they all grew older, she became less important to the other students, as they got older, and started having other feelings for things, such as crushes, makeup, spots, and so on.
Pop Tart didn't mind at all and rather liked the students her age who weren't around a lot, she enjoyed hanging around the younger fillies and colts, as she felt more important there as she would help the teachers and get compliments for her helping hoof.
As everyone in her class got their cutie marks, she didn't. No matter what she tried, nothing had that spark and wasn't her calling, and as time went along, Pop Tart was tired of trying and only wanted to focus on her education.
She wanted to be a doctor, specializing in children, wanting to help the young ones, like someone had with her older brother.
In her education, she became the top of her class, her still hoofs and quick-thinking brain were exactly what this job needed. As the final texts came, she was starting to get nervous, not wanting to fail or mess up. Her family and friends did their best to calm her mind and wished Pop Tart the best as she was called in on the performance test.
At the start, she was quiet and didn't talk much but as time went on, her voice grew and she even came up with ideas for the main doctor's procedures. He was slightly surprised at her idea but was beyond proud of her improvement in the surgery and bright mind.
She passed and her cutie mark finally came, a cute fixed bear, resembling her and her passion for her work. Pop Tart started work at her education hospital but soon was moved to a better children's hospital, which specialized in child care and sicknesses.
Rock Candy
Rock Candy and his twin brother Swirl Mix are always together, even though they are so very different.
Rock is very outgoing and has ADHD, in his case making it harder for him to concentrate and doing tasks. He has a hard time lowering his vocals in exciting situations, as well as going nonverbal in upsetting ones. Whenever he gets very excited, his voice is loud and he starts moving his front hooves, doing stemming.
Rock is very kind and is very happy to hear others talk about their likes, as he wants to know about them and will even research the topic to later bring it up. If ever down, the best way to brighten up his day is by letting him ramble on about his latest hyper-fixation.
At school, Rock had a hard time learning because of his ADHD but after learning he had it, he received extra time of things, as well as allowing him to bring fidget toys.
In one of the cooking classes, they were making candy and they made misshapen sugar bracelets, he was the only one made extremely well for his age and first try. He couldn't stop showing it off and would even start making candy with his mother. Earning his cutie mark as his aunt Marble Pie came over and they made rock candy together.
He now owns his own half-section of Sugar Cub Corner, selling sugar sweets and beautifully made rock candy in jewelry-like styles.
Swirl Mix
Swirl Mix compared to his twin brother has always been more quiet and had a harder time socializing. As he had Autism, in class he would mumble a lot more than at home. Sometimes he would suddenly switch from happy to sad or angry, which consered the teacher.
After being tested with his brother, they found out he had Autism and he also received extra time for homework and tests but he didn't actually need that, as he always did the homework on normal time and even wrote more than what had been required.
Rock Candy was the only one he really talked to at school, as he didn't like the other students very much and would rather be alone than play with them. So it was only him and his brother, only on a few occasions did he play with others who weren't the teachers.
Swirl was very anti-social and needed a lot of planned play dates and trips for him to open up more and learn that others also could like what he liked and he could have a good time with classmates.
Swirl got his cutie mark while helping decorate a birthday cake for themselves, his side was a lot more neat than that of Rock, who didn't quite have the touch for it. Swirl as his brother owns his own half of the store, selling cakes and baked goods. Their mother works with them both, helping whoever needs it, and is the main pony at the cashier, as well as on deliveries.
MarbleShoes Kids
Ship: Trouble Shoes + Marble "Droplet" Pie
Bright Fortune
Bright is almost as tall as his father, scaring many upon meeting him for the first time, however, like his father Bright is a very kind hearted stallion.
Bright's passion and cutie mark is that of traveling, exploring and finding old treasures. As a young colt, he would read all the stories of Daring Doo and wished he was on such journey's. Once he was old enough, he joined a expiation team, they traveled for 3 weeks in total before coming home with some old ponish's weaponry.
Bright wears a headband and some cloth from his back to his behind.
Inky Hoof
Inky compared to his brother's never saw the thrill of leaving their land. He loved to stay near Appleloosa and to go out to visit family but otherwise, he just wanted to stay near home, watching over his wild flowers and making jewelry with his mother. Inky is a lot like his mother, both in appearance and personality, he's only open and carefree with family.
Inky got his cutie mark while making his mother a birthday gift, including the wild flowers near their home and her name sake of a gem.
Inky wears a necklace, earrings and whatever wild flowers are in season.
Obsidian Coat
Obsidian has never been a person pony, rather linking the dark and quiet of the caves. As a young colt he would join his mother in the caves, helping her find crystals for her to make jewelry of and sell. But Obsidian was rather interested in exploring the deeper parts of the caves, wanting to see what lies in the depths.
He would often be told to forget that dream, as it's too dangerous and Marble couldn't stand the thought of losing a child. But once he had turned 18, his only wish was to be allowed to cave dive and after a long discussion, he was allowed to go, if he did it with a team. Obsidian now works with a small but understanding team, they know of his anti-social behavior and don't mind much, talking mostly among themselves.
Obsidian wears gauge earrings, snake bite piercing, bat wing shaped shades and a hoodie.

Rarity Bellè + Tempest "Berrytwist" Shadow
Rarity Bellè
Her whole color pallet has mostly stayed the same, only her mane has gotten lighter, with an extra color and a gradient. I've decided to make Rarity's coat design rather simple and small in detail, as I wanted her to be able to have all sorts of outfits on and not limit it.
Her cutie mark has been changed from 3 small diamonds to a big 1, and now has a needle and thread, to show off her talent for making outfits.
The fur jacket she has on is from the last episode, as she lives in Yakyakistan as a representative now.
She also wears a golden ring around her horn, with a teal gem to represent Tempest, her wife.
Tempest "Berrytwist" Shadow
Tempest's colors have also not been touched very much, as I find them very pleasing to the eyes. I made her scar bigger and more pronounced by making its color a peachy tone, than the purple it was before.
Her cutie mark has never been confirmed in the show, so I had to make my own. It's a fuzzy drink with lots of foam and then there are fireworks on top, like some sort of sprinkles.
After her travels, she was personally asked to join Twilight's guards, quickly reaching captain.
As the main six's slowly went their ways and Rarity was sent to Yakyakistan as a representative, she needed a guard and who was better than one of the captains.
As the two spent every day together, their hearts grew for each other and soon they married. Tempest wears a silver ring with a blue gem, which represents Rarity, her wife.
Sweetie Bellè + Button "Mash" Skill
Sweetie Bellè
Like her sister, I made her coat design very simple, making her mane the more eye-catching detail.
Her outfit and makeup are from her concert, as I love characters that look so soft and sweet but can scream/growl like no other.
Her cutie mark is now a music note in the CMC colors while having a bow behind it, as well as two diamonds, to tie her back to her sister.
Button "Mash" Skill
His whole color pallet has turned more reddish, as I don't really like a yellowish brown, as to me, it seems more sickly.
He's also a streamer, streaming his games and he made Sweetie Bellè known, as she only sang to her children and at The School Of Friendship.
As you might have noticed, he has a tattoo of Sweetie's name, this is his way of showing his love.
His cutie mark is about programming, as he is good at making games. It was made for someone else but as I'm never going to use them, I decided to use it here.
Cherrie Shadow-Hoof
Cherrie is the oldest of the two sisters, she looks a lot like their mother Tempest, and as a kid was called mini shadow. Cherrie looked up to her mother Tempest and wanted to become a soldier like her but her magic wasn't very strong and no matter how many times she tried to pass the test, she always failed. She was saddened that no matter what she did, she could never gain her dream job. And as her younger sister, Petal, passed the test she never could, she felt conflicted. She was proud but also jealous and angry that she couldn't become a guard.
Cherrie was truly saddened and couldn't bring herself to do anything, but as her mother needed help one day, making jewelry for a dress, Cherrier felt a small spark in her heart, it was a lot more interesting to see the silver bend and turn to make beautiful shapes to wear with the dresses her mother had made.
Cherrie wanted to make beautiful and strong armorers for the guards that she couldn't be a part of. Her models would either be her sister or mother, Tempest, asking for suggestions on how to improve them till she finally made the best armor in the whole Canterlot.
After showing it to the Royal Captains and being accepted, Cherrie became the main armory producer and was the head of all armor made as well as making the weapons.
Petal "Star" Bellè
Petal saw her older sister's passion for becoming a Royal guard and because of that, she too wanted to become one, dreaming of them both becoming guards and working together as a team.
They both would play together and act as captains of their own teams, working together to stop big bad evils. As they grew older their games became training and then finally the real tests Petal noticed how her sisters had always been on the weaker side, even though they both were pure unicorns. Petal tried her best to help her older sister too, hoping their training would make her stronger and allow her to pass the test. However, no matter how hard they trained, she never passed, and as Petal's final exam came, she knew that their dream would never come true and that only she would pass and become a guard.
Petal was conflicted and was uncertain if she should do the final exam, as the dream she had been fighting for could never happen. Rarity convinced her otherwise and Petal took the final tests and passed. Everyone was happy when she passed with flying colors but as she looked at Cherrie, she could see the jealousy in her eyes and knew how much it must have hurt her, that she could never become one.
Petal tried her best to be there for Cherrie but as she had become a guard, she didn't have much free time anymore and her duties took much of her time. But even as it took all her energy, she would always send a letter, hoping that it would a least bring a small smile to her older sister's face.
Petal was beyond surprised when she received a letter back from Cherrie, explaining that she would like her help in making armor for the guards. Petal was happy to see her sister happy once more and now knowing her sister felt better, her mind was more clear and Petal soon rose in her status as a guard and became a captain of her own team under the Lunar guards.
SweetieMash Kids.
Ship: Sweetie Bellè + Button "Mash" Skill
Rosie May
Rosie is the oldest of the two and is an earth pony like her father but has a lot of unicorn body features. Such as the long slender legs, long thin tail, cloven hooves and a more sharp face.
Like her father, Rosie likes to play games. She spent most of her everyday life inside playing games online. While playing these different games, she would listen to her mom's latest album and she loved to sing but didn't want to chase such a job, as she loved singing as a hobby.
As the world grew and more and more technology came into their everyday life, Rosie was someone who would test games made with this new tech. She got her cutie mark while doing one of these tests and explained another possible way to do something in the game.
As Rosie works from home most of the time, she likes to visit her parents and younger brother. Bulling him slightly, as much as any normal older sibling does. She likes to pester him about his next book or if he has found a boyfriend yet.
Pudding Tale
Pudding is the opposite in body type to his sister, he is a unicorn but he has a lot of earth pony features, this has also caused his magic to not be as strong as it should be. Making it harder to learn even basic spells.
Pudding did want to be outside and be with others but because of his social anxiety, it was very hard for him to make any special bonds. As he grew older, his want to be outside changed and now he just wished to be inside, reading books.
But still, as school turned to college, Pudding didn't have any friends aside from family members. He decided to stop trying and focus on a story he had been thinking about. It took a long while to finish the first draft of the story but he was so overjoyed that he couldn't wait to send it in to be checked.
However, to Pudding's disappointment, the story was seen as bland and one that has already been done 100 times. So he tried again, adding new parts to the world and characters. This went on for a while but after 7 drafts and still no books being sold, Pudding asked his family for help, as he was going to send it out by himself without a sponsor.
They only made a few books in the start but because the story wasn't as bad as it had been told it was, it was fast to be caught by the fantasy fans.

Apple "Jacqueline" Jack + Rainbow Dash
Apple "Jacqueline" Jack
I've added some extra colors to her mane, as I think the design could be pushed further without making her unrecognizable.
The extra features I have added are also to make her design more interesting, as well as a call back to her work at the farm.
I wanted her design to look feminine but also masculine, as that is something I feel fits her character.
Rainbow Dash
Dash's whole color pallet has turned more dark and grey, as this is just a personal taste of mine. Her body features have turned sharp, as a way to show her speed and as a pegasus body type.
She still works for the Wonderbolts as a captain, her badge shows this. Dash is still very adventurous and bold, pushing herself further than she probably should.
Big McIntosh + Sugar "Cube" Bell
Big McIntosh
I've darkened his whole pallet, as I wanted him to contras his siblings. I personally also like the fan canon that he's either trans/a drag queen, which he is here in All Love No War AU.
So once all the work is done, Big Mac can let his more feminine colors out, which his wife very much supports. She gets to make him pretty and make him feel like his true self.
Sugar "Cube" Bell
I've greyed her whole pallet and made her figure more long, as that's the way I draw unicorns. I've shortened her hair and let it loose, as I think it would change with time and all the kids she's had. Plus her working now at the farm and long hair would get stuck on a lot of things.
Both are happily married and have been for years now. They have learned to work around their faults and love each other deeply and never would pick another.
Tender Taps + Apple Bloom
Tender Taps
Taps is still a dancer but he's now become a backstage dancer. Working with ponies such as Sweetie Bellè, Coloratura "Colorful" and even Songbird Serenade.
After passing his exam he was recruited by Sapphire Shores personally and has worked under her ever since.
His whole pallet has been darkened and his markings are very sharp and frame his face. His mane is pretty much the same, it's just become darker and an extra line has been added. For his cutie mark, I've added a bowtie and some sparking but I didn't add much, as I felt it already fit him.
The outfit he has on is for the next show, where the theme is more rock.
Apple Bloom
Bloom has grown much in height, towering over everyone except her big brother Mac.
She still works at the School of Friendship, teaching biology and about cutie marks with (Scootaloo) Speedy Scoot-"aloo".
I made her whole pallet warmer and all of her accessories soft in color. So even though she is extremely tall, she still feels welcoming and like a friend.
I've added more color to her mane, making a gradient from a darker red to a pinkish one.
Her cutie maker is now more about her talent than just the Cutie Mark Crusaders, the heart in the middle is what ties them together.
After Goldie Delicious's passing, she decided to wear her shawl, in memory of her.
Mighty Apple
Mighty is the oldest of the 3 and has helped out with the family farm for many years but as everyone got older, it was harder to keep up with people's demands.
That's when Mighty decided to make some of the farm more advanced, building machinery to help carry and mash the apples. AJ was very unsure about it all, as the Flim & Flam situation still lingered in her mind, but after seeing her son's hard work and how she sadly couldn't keep up with all the work, she let it happen and supported her son in his work.
Compared to Flim & Flam's work, Mighty still cared about the nature around the farm and which apples were being used, he made sensors to kick out bad apples, and he himself would keep an eye on it all. He made sure not to harm the trees, the earth, and the wild animals that lived around their farm.
Mighty had built it all himself but he couldn't always be there to fix everything or always keep an eye on it, so he opened a small business where he employed others to do so, as Mighty kept getting offers to help make other great machinery, which he very much wanted to do. It all started out small and very simple but as his reputation only went up, he would be getting so many offers and requests that he alone couldn't keep up with.
But with the help he needed at the farm, he decided to get more hoofs on the job and began teaching others his way and how it all worked. The Apple Machinery soon grew to the largest company there was in the industry but his kind heart still remained and his mind did not become corrupted to greed. He would use his money to help others and make the world a better place, which his mothers had taught him throughout his life.
Fruti Kick
Fruti wasn't fit to live on the farm, so they weren't much with their brothers, they were more up in the sky with RD. There Fruti learned to fly by the best ones that there are and their speed even out did RD as she was getting older.
After having continuously heard stories of the Rainboom, Fruti wanted to try and see if they could also do it, RD was their mother after all. After many failures Fruti finally did it but it was not a Rainboom, they had created a monstrous thunderstorm. Dark clouds spread out from where the boom had happened, filling the area sky extremely fast. Thunder roared from the clouds and one stuck a tree, which split it in half, a fire even started from the broken tree. But because of Fruti's teachings from RD, they reacted fast and turned the thundercloud into a raincloud, jumping on it to speed up the progress and stop the starting forest fire.
Soon some local weather ponies came and asked Fruti about the thunderclouds, which Fruti explained truthfully. They were taken back to RD and were told not to try any more Rainbooms because of how strong their thunderclouds were.
Fruti was saddened that they weren't allowed to ever try it again, as after having done it, they felt so full as if they had been missing this part of themselves. RD saw their sadden child and wanted to help them. RD went to her oldest, Mighty, and asked for help, Bright built a large doom where their thunderclouds could hurt no one and the electricity would be used to power different things.
Fruti uses this doom every day and it even became their job, as electric power became sought after and theirs was very strong.
Buttercup
Buttercup was always very easy to become sick, even when he was healthy his face was always red as if having been sunburnt. Buttercup just wanted to be out helping the farm, trying to fly with Fruti and just being outside but he couldn't be outside for very long. His body was weak and no matter how strong-minded he was about his wants, his body couldn't keep up. With time, Buttercup learned to understand that nothing would make him better, no matter what medicine he was given, no matter what spell was used on him, all of it would stop working and he would be his weak self again.
RD and AJ did their best to make him happy, and to help him feel better. They would have friends over, small gathering outsiders under large party tents but that only seemed to cheer him up for a short time.
One night as he lay in bed again, sick with another fever, Granny Smith had come to visit and had made him some soup. As he ate, Granny talked about how beautiful the flowers were outside her room at the community home she now lived at.
She had even been given a few bags of seeds by one of the gardeners, which she had gifted Buttercup. Buttercup simply thought his great-grandmother had forgotten he couldn't go outside to plant them and thanked her for the soup and seeds. But Granny Smith had not forgotten and had Mighty's company make a greenhouse connected to the farmhouse.
Once Buttercup felt better and had gone downstairs to see what all the noises had been, he saw a new door, confused he opened it and found a newly built greenhouse, all ready for him to use. Buttercup was overjoyed and began right away, now he could help the farm by selling flowers. RD and AJ were so happy to see their sick and depressed son so happy and full of life, they couldn't be happier.
Sadly Granny Smith soon passed away after his store opened and it was a great loss to the whole Apple family. Buttercup decided to name the store after her, as she was the one who came up with the idea and had given him hope for a happy future.
BigSugar kids
Ship: Big McIntosh + Sugar "Cube" Bell
Big Sugar
Big Sugar is the oldest and tallest of the family, even taller then his father.
He has taken on the plowing of the farm after his father, as it takes a lot on ones body and Big Mac couldn't do it anymore after Holly's birth.
Though Sugar is very strong and tall, he is still very scared of bugs and mice, finding them creepy and unpleasant. But him running away from anything almost feels like a earthquake, even framed pictures fall to the floor.
Sugar will always run to his mother for help, even though she herself doesn't like them either.
Sugar and his mother have a strong bond, as after his field work, he would help her in any of her baking. Enjoying the more peaceful feeling of it all and how much joy such small things can bring to the whole family.
Holly Harvest
Holly thought she had nothing special she could help the farm with but as their wheat died mysterious. The farm all panicked as they couldn't find the reason as to why and how it happened.
Holly read every book she could find on the matter, even asked for unicorns for help but it only seemed to help for a short time.
One night she took a walk by the new wheat they had planted and she could see it was starting to die once more. She was devastated as she sat by one of the wheats, looking at it in her hoof she could see orange like blisters on the leaves. She decided to not just go around to find the answer, she would force it!
Holly started doing tests on a small portion of the farm, where she would try all sorts of things till she found the cure. She had to make sure its genetic resistance was stronger and to use some foliar fungicides which she had created. After curing their wheat, she knew this is what she was to do and would research all sorts of plant diseases and how to cure them.
She often doesn't stay home much, as many need her professional help and with each trip, she gets smarter on what to do.
Bright Luck
Luck looks very much like her grandmother Pear Butter, only difference is the horn on her head.
She was a trouble child as she would use her magic and cause trouble to the mostly earthly family. However with her mothers help, Luck would learn to control her magic.
Luck being the youngest, most of the farm jobs had already been taken, so she would stick to her mother and help with food and the animals.
Luck felt very connected to the farm animals and they seemed to like her very much, even the most shy of them would come out if she was near.
But wanting to be like the stories she would hear of her grandmother Pear, she thought she would be at music, butter making or even baking. None of them were her talent and even she didn't get any from caring for the animals.
It was only when one of the bulls had escaped that Luck would get her cutie mark. As she would catch him with a lasso throw, her throw was perfect even without her use of magic.
Luck can always be seen with a rope on her side, as she always likes to show off new tricks she has learned while feeding the chickens.
TenderBloom twins
Ship: Apple Bloom + Tender Taps
Sweet Blossom
Sweet was the first of the twins to be born, she is a happy-go-lucky filly who is very social and outgoing.
When Apple Rise wanted to sell his flowers but couldn't because of his weak body, Apple Bloom suggested helping him. And as the twins weren't very old, they would have to come with them to sell the flowers.
Sweet was always happy to go to their shop to sell the flowers, she would make bouquets, mixing beautiful and same-meaning flowers together. Which is how she gained her cutie mark.
Sour Dancer
Sour was born a few seconds later then his sister always gets bullied by her because of it, as she's the "oldest". Compared to Sweet, Sour is sarcastic and very teasing, which can come off as rude to strangers.
Sour was more of a father's boy and when he could, he would join his father in his dance classes and do his best to do the same moves he saw them do.
Even though Sour struggled in the start, he felt pure joy and happiness when he was dancing and soon became a little well-known dancing star. He gained his cutie mark while dancing with his sister in front of their parents. He managed to do a hard dance move he wasn't able to do before, which gave him his cutie mark.
