-Personality Stuff-
Likes: She loves all sorts of tricks- excluding the pranking kind; she also loves performing and showing off in front of others. She likes seeing others be happy in general. She enjoys experimenting and trying something different in a routine to discover something new and interesting. She likes hearing constructive criticism and will often ask for it. She likes being around fillies and foals and they are her favorite to perform for. She enjoys being with groups of friends. She likes being around and spending time with her family. She loves fire dancing, though that's a given considering her cutie mark.
Dislikes: While she's usually fairly patient with others, she cannot stand being around others who are rude or are jerks in general. She doesn't like being insulted and won't hesitate to stand up for herself. She doesn't like harsh critics, though she does know the difference between actual criticism and using 'criticism' as an excuse to insult. She doesn't like others trying to tell her she can't do something when she's very determined to do it. She hates having her family and friends be bullied or insulted and won't hesitate to stand up for them. She doesn't like being snuck up on when she's concentrating on something. She hates the idea of hurting your own family, mainly with bullying younger siblings and such.
Motivation: Her family and how they support her, along with her wanting to support them. Her fire dancing, performing for others, and with hearing how she could improve.
Strengths: Firespin is a determinator, once she sets a goal she'll make sure that it's accomplished completely. She's very creative and flexible, willing to try new things for the sake of making something new and interesting. She's fairly patient, though she can't stand to be around those who she finds to be unlikable in general. She does well with Fillies and Foals and taking care of them. She can admit when she's wrong if she realizes it and when she does she'll usually try to make amends.
Weaknesses/Flaws: She tends to bite off more than she can chew and doesn't like doing the 'baby steps' first, but instead going to the most 'important' steps. She has a really, really bad temper that usually doesn't start at once, but instead something usually festers until something acts as the Wafer Thin Mint that makes her blow her top. It's hard to get her to calm down once she's lost her temper and usually trying to do anything towards her will only fuel her anger. Only when she tires herself out does she finally calm down. She does judge on first impressions somewhat, mainly on those that have been rude to her. She doesn't pay attention to limits, mainly her own. She cannot cook for her life and Celestia help you if you let her near a stove. She can get so focused to the point of where she doesn't notice anything else around her, making her an easy target to sneak up behind, much to her displeasure.
Fears: Having anything happen to her family and just losing them in general, thunder.
Overall Persona: The first thing that likely comes to mind with just one look at Firespin is 'fire'. Just about everything about her has to do with the word, even her personality seems to be like a warm fire, which being a fire can get out of control.
A unicorn, Garnet Showfer, from Manehattan fell in love with an earth pony, BakerDozen Pan, in Appleloosa on a business trip. The two ponies became mates a few months after. Garnet moved from Manehatten to Appleloosa, never really liking how 'stuffy' it was there, but never had the motivation to move somewhere else until now. He bought a large house for them to live and raise a family in. Though Garnet had quit his job, their fortune never dwindled due to Garnet's business experience and BakerDozen's talent with, well, baking. Their family grew to what it is now, two teenagers, one older(Firespin) and one younger, and three foals/fillies.
Before Firespin got her cutie mark, she had been baton twirling in her school's band. She enjoyed twirling it around and using a combination of her magic and (mainly) her hooves to manipulate, though it felt like it was somehow incomplete. When there was a thunderstorm that set a tree on fire just about all of Appleloosa rushed to extinguish it. At the time she wasn't very skilled in magic and didn't have time to charge, so she had to kick some falling branches out of the way of others. This struck a thought that perhaps she should set her baton on fire... Though it did get her in trouble with the school for damaging school equipment, she finally got her cutie mark in fire dancing.
