-General Stuff-
Name: Sugar Sweet Frosting
Nickname/Alias(es): Sugar Frosting, Cupcake, Sweetie
Race: Pegasus
Gender: Female
Age: Young Adult (old enough to live on her own, but she still has some of the naivety of youth)
Additional Status: She has two pet rats named Cocoa and Marzipan, and owns a small cupcake shop.
-Physical Stuff-
Pelt Color: A peachy tan color
Mane/Tail Color and Style: Cotton-candy pink curls, with her mane pulled into a ponytail most of the time. When her mane is in a ponytail, you only notice the main curl, but when she wears her mane down, it is a lot messier and has a few smaller curls. Her tail is a lot more ‘poofy’ than her mane, and looks a lot like a cotton candy cloud.
Eye Color: Fuchsia
Cutie Mark: A cupcake with swirled frosting
Other Scars/Markings: Her hooves have been burned multiple times while baking, but she takes this just as an occupational hazard. She has pink-streaked wings with a few lighter tan streaks, giving them the appearance of being sugar-dusted. Her hooves have fuchsia swirls that extend about a quarter of the way up her hoof. Her left wing will also flutter when she’s nervous or afraid—she had a bad run-in with a storm cloud when she was younger and she’s still self-conscious about the large scar on her wing, but it hasn’t seriously affected her ability to fly. She also has a few white freckles under her eyes and around the bridge of her nose.
Physique: A bit shorter than average, and slightly pudgy (what can she say, Sugar loves to taste test! ehe). Prefers walking to flying as she never was the most athletic, but can fly for a short while without getting winded.
-Social Stuff-
Current Residence: Ponyville, in a cozy home in the residential district
Job: Baker of cupcakes! Owns a small cupcake shop (located in the Marketplace not 15 minutes from her home) called The Sweet Tooth.
Mother: Powdered Sugar (Earth pony)
Father: Hot Cross Buns (pegasus)
Sibling(s): A young sister named Cinnamon Roll. An elementary school student. (earth pony).
Other Family: Some relatives in Manehattan, but nobody she knows very personally except her cousins Sweet Note and Golden Melody. (her father’s side of the family was pretty musically gifted). She will often send letters to them and loves to talk about the replies and souvenirs she gets from the busy city.
Closest Friends: Generally amiable, preferring to be neutral with many ponies instead of closely tied to one.
Courting/Courted By: N/A
Mate: N/A
Foal(s): N/A
-Personality Stuff-
Likes: Sugar, sweet things, baking, working with her hooves, feeling involved with others. (Sweet will often coordinate small-scale community activities, and loves participating in things like Winter Wrap Up or being a vendor during Nightmare Night).
Dislikes: Being alone or excluded, laziness, those who judge others or are very brash in their actions. (i.e., Sugar is very laid back in her views on life. She would clash with somebody with a very to the point, quick to act personality)
Motivation: To ‘feed’ other ponies in the spiritual and physical sense. Sugar loves to comfort others with sweets or just a kind word if they ever need it.
Strengths: Kind, caring, not overly complex, enthusiastic. Sugar is no Einstein but has a very good ground in reality. She sees things as cut and dry: if there's a problem, fix it, if your roof's leaking, patch it, if your cupcakes burn, toss 'em out and start anew. This helps her keep her bakery and her life running efficiently. She sees every day as a challenge to be faced with energy (and a bunch of cupcakes)! Sometimes she will work herself too hard and burn out, but otherwise she has a relatively good understanding of her limits. She is relatively good at problem-solving and pie-making.
Weaknesses/Flaws: Clumsy, sheltered, a bit ‘head-up-in-the-clouds’ if you wish. Wears her heart on her hoof, so her greatest weakness is her being prone to very intense, bold emotions when provoked. Sugar Frosting is decently agile, but she is prone to dropping a pie pan if she's distracted. She likes to believe everybody is good inside, which leads to conflict when facing things that are mean to the core. This, combined with her, 'everything will be ok everything can be fixed' point of view could lead to problems in dire, unfixable emergencies.
Fears: Spiders, (because things that creep around in sewers and the flour bin tend to creep her out), a world without cupcakes, arguments that she can’t mediate/control, her very rare but extreme bouts of anger. Sugar likes her world to be what she can control and fix. She's very cozy in her apple-cupcake lifestyle and when that begins to go down the drain so does her calm temper. She's more of a 'rage first' kind of pony when she's mad, and she fears the damage that she can't repair because she didn't stop and take deep breaths first.
Overall Persona: Sugar believes life is sweet! She tries to spread her philosophy in any way that she can; from baking cupcakes in the marketplace to volunteering to serve goodies in the annual Winter Wrap-Up. Busy as a bee from sundown to sunup at her bakery, often the pegasus will burn herself out--she sometimes needs ponies around her to remind her when she needs to relax and have some TLC. Outside her shop, Sugar is very active to a certain extent. She knows when she isn’t going to be any help, and though it makes her sad, she usually avoids things she can’t assist in. This may rub some the wrong way, but it’s just Sugar being Sugar. Otherwise, she loves making things better for herself and others! That’s why she opened her bakery: to make a pony smile while eating a cupcake as much as she does while baking them. A generally positive pony, Sugar only gets sad or upset in truly horrible situations. (Or when a test batch of cupcakes burns. Just kidding! That happens a lot more often than it should, though...) However, when she does get upset, it’s generally a ‘run-for-the hills’ situation. For all her smiles on sunny days and giving free cupcakes to an old stallion in the street, in rare cases Sugar is cross, rude, and generally no fun to be around in a rage. Sugar regrets this, but it isn’t something she has immediate control over, so she just tries to let bygones be bygones.
History/Background: Ever since she was a little filly, Sugar Frosting loved to watch the street vendors sell candy or sweets throughout a busy Ponyville day. Equally attracted to the ponies’ cheerful reactions and the shining trinkets, she tried many mock business ventures of her own. She tried everything from self-publishing crayon-scribbled newspapers to making statues of paper-mache. But after one time too many of ripping up her mother’s work papers to make a life-size macaroni noodle, Powdered Sugar put her daughter in the kitchen and taught her all she knew about baking to prevent any more of her jewelry being sold in ‘garage sales’ and the like. Sugar Frosting clicked immediately, and the rest is history. She spent the rest of her days baking and experimenting to make a cupcake that would make a pony as happy selling it as a pony would eating it! Her passion led to her to buy a small building in the business section of Ponyville and fix it up into a cupcake shop where ponies can find all kinds of goodies! Sugar is now the happy owner of The Sweet Tooth, open from 6 to 5 on weekdays—come on in and stay awhile?
