Physical Description
As a pegasus, Sprouting Bulb has green fur with dark blue mane and lavender eyes. Her mane is styled to be spiky, with one stripe drooping over her forehead as her bangs. Her tail is short and stumpy, as though it were cut most of the way off. She tends to wear eyeliner, or at least appear to wear eyeliner.
As a changeling, Spinneret's color motif is green; she has bright green eyes, sparkly green wings, and dark green elytra. She stands at a much shorter stature than other changelings due to having one less molt; specifically, she is the height of an older teen.

Backstory
Sprouting Bulb was born to an onion-farming family in a small village by an oasis in the San Palomino Desert. Though she was very helpful around the farm, she soon discovered her true passion and gained her cutie mark in singing. One day, however, a changeling raid swept the village, causing everypony to disperse and leaving Sprout alone in Ponyville.
Or so she'd have you believe.
In reality, Spinneret hatched on the 20th day of the 3rd month of the 983rd year after Nightmare Moon's banishment. Growing up in the hive, she grew attached to her "big bro", Pedipalp, who had hatched a mere five seconds before her. She also grew attached to her classmate, a purple-eyed changeling named Elytron. The two quickly became inseparable, occasionally sneaking their way to Ponyville. There, Spinneret took notice of Elytron's natural talent for singing, as well as the joy it brought to ponies. For the first sixteen years of her life, everything was perfect.
The invasion of Canterlot was a dark day for the hive. Many changelings were lost, and many more were fatally wounded. Among the latter was Elytron, whom Spinneret attempted to bring back to the hive. However, seeing her as dead weight, Chrysalis simply finished Elytron off. This event shattered Spinneret's worldview; her Queen had betrayed her. As soon as she could, she fled for Ponyville.
Once Sprout arrived in Ponyville, she immediately started looking for a job, living in a cardboard box in the meantime. Eventually, she was hired as a janitor at Filthy's Barnyard Bargains, where she still works to this day. During her free time, she tends to hide in the Everfree and practice her singing.

Key Moments
The moment she was taught that, if a changeling was discovered outside of their disguise, they would be executed.
Her first Gala mission, where she had the displeasure of meeting Blueblood, snuck into the castle's library, and toppled a corporation.
Her first meeting with the Horde, a group of alley cats who hated ponies.
Purchasing Rain Check, a figurine who is secretly alive and has an obsessive crush on her.

Personality
Sprouting Bulb is outgoing, flirtatious, and overall a fun pony to be around. She's also somewhat of a pony-pleaser.
Spinneret is overconfident, abrasive, and always ready to pick a fight. Deep down, she's just scared and confused, and with the right creature, she can be incredibly affectionate.
