END
Part 1: The Basics
❧ What is your full name?
Coco Pommel
❧ Where and when were you born?
Hollow Shades, [REACTED]
❧ Who are/were your parents? (Know their names, occupations, personalities, etc.)
My parents owned a hat shop that has been in the family for generations. My mother's name was Juliet Pommel and my father's name was Fez Pommel.
They... were kinda strict. It was decided for me that I was going to take over the family business when I got out of school, even before I had my cutie mark. In fact, they had an exact idea of my future was going to be. I take over, marry some stallion and have children.
But I didn't want that. I don't want to just make hats, I don't want to have kids and I'm... not even attracted to stallions. So I kept my feelings a secret for years.
When I graduated high school, they suddenly announced that they were retiring and that I was taking over. I knew I had no choice but to speak up. I told them about what I wanted and how I didn't want children. I was about to tell them I liked mares, but they stopped me and started yelling at me. We got into an argument after that.
I don't remember what was exactly said, but the next time I do remember is that I was kicked out the door and I had to walk from Hollow Shades all the way to Manehatten. I haven't spoken with them since then.
❧ Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?
No, I'm an only child.
❧ Where do you live now, and with whom? Describe the place and the person/people. .
I just moved to the Night Market since that's where I work now. It's just me at the moment.
❧ What is your occupation?
I make clothes and hats for ponies.
❧ Write a full physical description of yourself. You might want to consider factors such as: height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, and any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks.
U-um, I rather not answer this one.
❧ To which social class do you belong?
I guess middle class? I was pretty poor before.
❧ Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?
❧ Are you right- or left-handed?
Um, don't you mean right-hoofed or left-hoofed? Well to answer the question, I'm left-hoofed.
❧ What does your voice sound like?
I don't know how to answer this question.
❧ What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently?
I don't really know.
❧ What do you have in your pockets?
Nothing, but my backpack has my sewing kit I carry around just in case.
❧ Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
.....
Part 2: Growing Up
❧ How would you describe your childhood in general?
I suppose it was okay. I did have to do a lot of things in secret because of my parents, though I never did make friends during school. It doesn't bother me really.
❧ What is your earliest memory?
Finding a fashion magazine for the first time and getting my cutie mark.
❧ How much schooling have you had?
I've gone to school from when I was a filly through high school.
❧ Did you enjoy school?
Not really.
❧ Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?
If you mean my sewing skills, I mostly taught myself while hat making was taught to me by my parents. Everything else was from school.
❧ While growing up, did you have any role models? If so, describe them.
I didn't really have any real role models, but seeing pretty models in magazines would give me real hope and happiness.
❧ While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?
I don't have any other family than my parents.
❧ As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
To be a fashion designer and do what I wanted.
❧ As a child, what were your favorite activities?
Practice making clothes in secret.
❧ As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display?
I was really shy and quiet kind of like now actually. I didn't change that much.
❧ As a child, were you popular? Who were your friends, and what were they like?
No I wasn't and I didn't have any friends.
❧ When and with whom was your first kiss?
Oh, my first kiss was actually during this Hearts & Hooves day as embarrassing as that sounds. Her name is Kreutzer and while we aren't officially dating, we were affecting by those arrows that were raining down on Ponyville.
❧ If you are a supernatural being (i.e. mage, werewolf, vampire), tell the story of how you became what you are or first learned of your own abilities. If you are just a normal human, describe any influences in your past that led you to do the things you do today.
...I'm sorry, what was the question?
Part 3: Past Influences
❧ What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?
The fight I had with my parents before leaving.
❧ Who has had the most influence on you?
I would have say Miss Rarity. She showed me that just looking out for yourself is wrong and that there's much more out there than the job I had previously.
❧ What do you consider your greatest achievement?
Owning my own boutique. It's quite a big step up from being an assistant.
❧ What is your greatest regret?
Disappointing my parents.

Evil? Oh, I guess keeping things a secret from my parents?
❧ Do you have a criminal record of any kind?
No, I don't.
❧ When was the time you were the most frightened?
Oh, I would have to say when the griffons moved Cloudsdale closer to Ponyville. That was rather scary.
❧ What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you?
The day after Hearts & Hooves Day, Kreutzer and I had spent the whole night before making wedding dresses for each other. We went around ponyville in those dresses and we almost got married when some mare in a mask hit us with arrows that broke the spell over us. I think she called herself Sailor Venus.
It was rather embarrassing and awkward.
❧ If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why?
I would have quit my previous job sooner because I shouldn't have let myself get subjected to the abuse I had at the time.
❧ What is your best memory?
My first kiss with Kreutzer. Yes we were under the love arrow's spell, but I have never felt as happy as I did then before.

How many times do I have to repeat myself? My fight with my parents.

N-no! I could never do that. Killing is wrong!

Pretty honest.
❧ Do you have any biases or prejudices?
No.

I won't force my ideals on anypony else. It's not right. Everypony has the right to go for their own dreams.

That's kind of a depressing question. I guess Kreutzer or Miss Rarity.
Part 5: Relationships With Others

❧ Do you have a spouse or significant other? If so, describe this person.
Didn't I already answer this one?
❧ Have you ever been in love? If so, describe what happened.

END
Part 1: The Basics
❧ What is your full name?
Coco Pommel
❧ Where and when were you born?
Hollow Shades, [REACTED]
❧ Who are/were your parents? (Know their names, occupations, personalities, etc.)
My parents owned a hat shop that has been in the family for generations. My mother's name was Juliet Pommel and my father's name was Fez Pommel.
They... were kinda strict. It was decided for me that I was going to take over the family business when I got out of school, even before I had my cutie mark. In fact, they had an exact idea of my future was going to be. I take over, marry some stallion and have children.
But I didn't want that. I don't want to just make hats, I don't want to have kids and I'm... not even attracted to stallions. So I kept my feelings a secret for years.
When I graduated high school, they suddenly announced that they were retiring and that I was taking over. I knew I had no choice but to speak up. I told them about what I wanted and how I didn't want children. I was about to tell them I liked mares, but they stopped me and started yelling at me. We got into an argument after that.
I don't remember what was exactly said, but the next time I do remember is that I was kicked out the door and I had to walk from Hollow Shades all the way to Manehatten. I haven't spoken with them since then.
❧ Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?
No, I'm an only child.

I just moved to the Night Market since that's where I work now. It's just me at the moment.

U-um, I rather not answer this one.
❧ To which social class do you belong?
I guess middle class? I was pretty poor before.
❧ Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?
❧ Are you right- or left-handed?

I don't know how to answer this question.

.....
Part 2: Growing Up

Finding a fashion magazine for the first time and getting my cutie mark.
❧ How much schooling have you had?
I've gone to school from when I was a filly through high school.

No I wasn't and I didn't have any friends.
❧ When and with whom was your first kiss?
Oh, my first kiss was actually during this Hearts & Hooves day as embarrassing as that sounds. Her name is Kreutzer and while we aren't officially dating, we were affecting by those arrows that were raining down on Ponyville.
❧ If you are a supernatural being (i.e. mage, werewolf, vampire), tell the story of how you became what you are or first learned of your own abilities. If you are just a normal human, describe any influences in your past that led you to do the things you do today.
...I'm sorry, what was the question?
Part 3: Past Influences
❧ What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?
The fight I had with my parents before leaving.
❧ Who has had the most influence on you?
I would have say Miss Rarity. She showed me that just looking out for yourself is wrong and that there's much more out there than the job I had previously.
❧ What do you consider your greatest achievement?
Owning my own boutique. It's quite a big step up from being an assistant.
❧ What is your greatest regret?
Disappointing my parents.

Evil? Oh, I guess keeping things a secret from my parents?
❧ Do you have a criminal record of any kind?
No, I don't.
❧ When was the time you were the most frightened?
Oh, I would have to say when the griffons moved Cloudsdale closer to Ponyville. That was rather scary.
❧ What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you?
The day after Hearts & Hooves Day, Kreutzer and I had spent the whole night before making wedding dresses for each other. We went around ponyville in those dresses and we almost got married when some mare in a mask hit us with arrows that broke the spell over us. I think she called herself Sailor Venus.
It was rather embarrassing and awkward.
❧ If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why?
I would have quit my previous job sooner because I shouldn't have let myself get subjected to the abuse I had at the time.

That's kind of a depressing question. I guess Kreutzer or Miss Rarity.
