Name: Prairie Princess
Type: earth pony Gender: female Appearance: light tan coat; long blue-black mane and tail; hazel eyes. Cutie Mark: a magenta 'pi' symbol with a white outline. Special Talents: primary, mathematics; secondary, philosophy. Occupation: is currently tasked by Princess Celestia to help with the design and construction of a grand new circular park in The Crystal Empire, by solving mathematical problems as they arise, for example stress of materials, geometric designs and trigonometry, that kind of stuff. The bonus is she gets to do most of this at home in Ponyville and so can pretty much please herself what she does and when. Hobbies: mostly, sitting in front of her blackboard at home, chalk in hoof, puzzling over some mind-bending formula to do with astronomy, or Equestrian magic, or quantum physics (Equestria version), or prime numbers, or Foalean logic, or how high is the peak of that hill I can see on the horizon... but which to anypony else makes about as much sense as so many wallpaper patterns. But she also likes being outdoors and running and playing in the sun, and has never lost that foal-like sense of wonder at the world, and can often be found standing frozen in awe at some newly discovered and arresting vista or landscape. The first time she saw The Gazebo, for example, she was so amazed that she was too afraid to take another step in case doing so would make it disappear like a mirage. (Of course she did, and it didn't.) Additional Info: has just moved into a cottage near Sweet Apple Acres, or to be more truthful, a shack that badly needed renovating. Ergo, the first of the mane 6 she became acquainted with would have been Applejack. She likes tea, but only if it has been brewed in a teapot. She likes parsnips, but only if they have been roasted. She's apt to use occasional hippy phrases like "far out" and "groovy". She likes to wear thin gold bracelets and anklets and is seldom seen without them. She is not too overly fussed about dress fashion however but will wear a stylish cape in the cold weather. She's bookish like Twilight, but not quite as much. The Ponyville rumor-machine quickly cottoned onto the appearance in the community of "that crazy pony who lives in that old shack out by the Apples' place, her that has the thousand yards stare". This has been fuelled by sightings of Prairie often lying in her front yard, very slowly chewing a mouthful of grass like a cow chews cud, and staring into space while wrestling with some mathematical problem in her head. After an indefinite length of time, she would then suddenly leap to her feet, usually accompanied by a loud cry of triumph, and quickly trot indoors to add some more chalky squiggles to her walls. So Rainbow Dash, for one, is not too sure what to make of Prairie. Firstly, she's "another egg-head", and then she's got all these incomprehensible chalky scribbles all over her walls which kind of look like sinister magic runes or somesuch other "weird stuff". Rainbow doesn't like going in there, as though they're actually going to jump off the walls and attack her or something. [Have I thought about this too much?] Pinkie Pie, perhaps unsurprisingly, is completely unfazed. When asked, by Twilight, after their first meeting with Prairie: "So what do you think of Prairie?" Pinkie replied, with all sincerity, "I like her she's nuts!" (Stopping here else will never get posted) ENDS .
