-General Stuff-
Name: Rivet Stitch
Nickname/Alias(es): Her friends call her a number of things, such as Doc, Riv, and Stitches.
Race: Unicorn
Gender: Female
Age: Mare
Additional Status: Aside from sometimes wearing the various outfits you'd see on somepony working in a Hospital, Rivet normally wears an eye patch over her right eye.
-Physical Stuff-
Pelt Color: Minty Green
Mane/Tail Color and Style: Silver. When she's working, she tends to keep her hair up in a bun, and when she's off work it just cascades like a waterfall.
Eye Color: Gray
Cutie Mark: A Needle and Thread
Other Scars/Markings: Rivet Stitch's right eye is present but unworking, and has a generally unnerving appearance of being completely black with a small white pupil. While she is not at all self-conscious about this appearance, any amount of light hitting the eye generates an unpleasant headache, and so she keeps it covered.
Physique: Rivet Stitch is in extremely healthy shape, but onlookers always think she looks mildly ill. Her face is also described as "what would be exceedingly gorgeous" were it not for the fact her expression never seems to change from a dull countenance.
-Social Stuff-
Current Residence: Ponyville
Job: Doctor at Ponyville Hospital
Mother: Anesthesia Stitch
Father: Butterick Stitch
Sibling(s): NSF
Other Family: NSF
Closest Friends: Mannequin Grace, Powderkeg, Waxworks, Mandolin Gray, Dusty Pan, Galvanic Reaction, Gearshift, Fantastic Mirage
Courting/Courted By: NSF
Mate: NSF
Foal(s): NSF
-Personality Stuff-
Likes: Sweets, strawberries, and romance. Specifically, she adores romantic situations, even if she's not personally involved in them, such as weddings. She's often been talked into covering somepony's shift at the Hospital so they could sneak off to see their very special somepony due to her fondness of it. She also, to the consternation of her friends, enjoys labeling people and things as she works out more about them. She also is a big fan of rock operas.
Dislikes: Rivet has no mind for financial matters, and often likes to leave during such discussions at work. She has a dislike of overly mineral-rich water, assumptions that she begins and ends with hospital work, and offers to fix her eye, although she does not mind questions about it. She also has an interesting dislike of live chickens, despite being exceedingly fond of statues, toys, and paintings of them.
Motivation: Rivet Stitch believes in continual improvement, not only of herself but of those around her as well. She also responds with immediate urgency to any creature that's suffering, and has been known to treat injuries of monsters.
Strengths: She is breathtakingly patient regardless of the situation. She will listen to stories that seem to never end, she will take care of ponies that never seem to get better, and she will maintain her actions regardless of suffering.
Weaknesses/Flaws: Rivet Stitch is afflicted with a permanent non-emotive condition. This does not mean she is without emotion, she gets happy, sad, angry, depressed, derpy, etc., just like any other pony. However her facial expressions and tone of voice will never, ever accurately reflect this. This often leads to situations where she becomes exceedingly uncomfortable but others don't realize she is and her needs go unrealized. Her friends have told her to state her emotions out loud to them more often, such as telling Waxworks when she's sufficiently scared.
However, Rivet has recently undergone a diagnostic screening and through the efforts of several doctors and a regularly prescribed medication, she now has an extremely small, almost nonexistent emotional follow-through. She's now rather nervous about how her friends and coworkers will deal with her now that she can emote on a very small scale.
Fears: Rivet is constantly nagged by the worry that she can't help everyone, everywhere, that no matter how fast she works and how many ills she cures there's going to be somepony, somewhere, she can't get to. She also has a nearly manic fear of anyone other than herself or her parents treating her medically.
Overall Persona: Rivet is a pony with her head in the clouds, often in a dreamy state. Typically her friends have to get her attention before they start talking to her, as she'll generally look right through them if she's in a daydream. Her disconnected nature often tends to make her sound slightly confused when she speaks, however she's exceedingly intelligent and often will very flatly say exceedingly profound or useful things. One overriding theme that she's still trying to conquer is her own vision of friendship being an exchange of usefulness. Originally, Rivet Stitch viewed friendship as being useful in some way to someone else, such as offering a service or an attribute to improve them, not seeing friendship itself as such an attribute. As such, if she thinks she is unable to be of use to somepony she is often hesitant to extend her hoof in friendship to them. However she's been working on this, trying to find what use friendship itself is.
Fun Fact: Rivet is also quite talented when it comes to singing, however anypony listening will notice that there's no emotion in her singing.
