-Personality Stuff-
Likes:
Nettie loves to craft things, dolls in particular. She loves to make someone smile with a new toy or scarf. Sitting in the sun with a new skein of yarn and some needles, she could knit or crochet all day. Cupcakes from Sugarcube Corner are her favorite food and she'll miss them dearly while in Canterlot. She can't wait to try some of the sweets from the nearby shops.
Dislikes:
Nettie is not particularly fond of heights. After falling out of a when she was five she will avoid unnecessary climbing. She is does not like getting too dirty. She is not afraid of dirt, she just doesn't like the cleaning involved with removing it from her clothes. Laundry is her least favorite chore. She doesn't like to cook much either. That is more because anything slightly complicated doesn't turn out well.
Motivation:
Nettie discovered her cutie mark around age 10 after making her mother a scarf for her birthday. It was then that she decided that she wanted to share her work with all of Equestria. She wanted to create a shop in Canterlot hoping that one day, maybe Princess Celestia or Princess Luna may buy one of her creations. If her shop is successful enough, she will be able to support her father's retirement. That way he won't have to worry about anything. He can just relax. Being in Canterlot also lets her meet so many more ponys, so maybe her special somepony will find her through her shop.
Strengths:
Nettie is always smiling and willing to offer a helping hoof to somepony in need. No matter what the situation, she tries to keep her smile. With the various side projects that she tries, she picks up a few new skills here and there. She does know some basic woodwork, from learning to make her shelves and a table or too from making displays. She has also become very good at sewing from finishing her crocheted dolls. Knitting and crochet are her strongest crafts though. If someone needs help with a project that she is familiar with, Nettie will offer all of the help she can.
Weaknesses/Flaws:
Sadly she can also be distracted by side projects a little easily. With all of the side projects, her room is usually very cluttered. Nettie sometimes has trouble telling a pony no. Since she loves helping others and being a good dependable pony, she wants to help everyone she can. She may not be the best at teaching her craft though. Sometimes this means she is very exhausted and running a little behind.
Fears:
Spiders. Nettie cannot stand spiders. She will scream and hide, and hope that some pony can help her remove the spider from the room. She worries about her father's health, he is becoming an older pony. She feels guilty for leaving him in Ponyville while she moves off to Canterlot. Nettie is petrified at the thought of her shop failing. She doesn't have to be the most successful, she just doesn't know what she will do if this shop fails. Her cutie mark is for her knit-work, what else could she do if not that.
Overall Persona:
Nettie is relaxed and sweet pony. She very much enjoys her work and cannot wait to explore Canterlot. She does not like her appearance to require too much work so she will generally do her quick braid and grab a shawl if its chilly. She prefers the fall and winter since knitwear is more common. It allows her to share her gift as well as admire the work of others.
Nettie does not like bullies, if she can help it she tries to stop it. She has been working on becoming more social to make more friends. She hopes to make some good friends that will appreciate her as much as she will them and not take advantage of her. She has had a pony or two take advantage of her since she does not like to tell ponys no. Thankfully, with some help from her classmates she learned to stand up for herself and wants to share that confidence with other ponies.
She admires artwork in many fields and loves seeing different mediums. She likes to try new mediums for fun, even if they turn out too great. So far clay has been her favorite medium (besides yarn of course) since it can work well for figurines which are similar to dolls.
Nettie hopes to meet her special somepony while in Canterlot. Maybe one who can bake, since she isn't to great of a cook. She doesn't care if he is a masculine or strong pony, she just wants a pony who will wear her scarves.
Nettie misses her mother but is happy for all of the crafts that she taught her. She knows her mother is proud of her for following her dream.
History/Background:
Nettie grew up in Ponyville. Nettie's mother kept her out of trouble as a filly and showed her how to work with yarn. Nettie was always working on some art project around Ponyville. Whether it was a lesson in dress making, a painting, or a new doll, Nettie always had craft supplies with her. Around the age of 15 she began to sell her wares in the market to start earning up so she could move to Canterlot. Her mother died when she was 17 to ponyflu. Her father and herself were very sad but they continue on and honer her memory every year. At 19 Nettie had secured her apartment and packed up. With a teary goodbye she left on the train eagerly waiting to arrive in Canterlot.
