Double Espresso

Melted Dog

By Melted Dog

    • , No, Not Cast young mare

    Double Espresso has a desaturated beige-ish coat. Her mane makes use of a dark muted brown and something close to a lighter brown, around the same color as caramel (The Candy)Her eyes are the same color as part of her cutie mark, which is a desaturated darkish blue. Overall, her colors aren't very bright.

    female Earth Pony Double's cutie mark is a filled coffee cup with two smoke/steam columns wafting on top.Her cutie mark represents her talent for coffee brewing, and also her passion for coffee. https://buffy.mlpforums.com/4f0bd902c021b252e9a090240fc8922e.jpg

    Double Espresso has little regard, whatsoever, for the concept known as 'private/personal space'. She has a knack for always bursting in at the most inappropriate times (like Luna at the end of A Canterlot Wedding). She is quite curious and hates it if information is kept from her, and tries to root it out. As a result of that, she knows more than she is supposed to know

     

    Can she keep a secret? It depends. The closer you are to her, the more likely she'll keep it. Her experience in the business world hasn't exactly made her trusting of strangers. She still is a pony though, and has a conscience (a big one, in fact). She doesn't like keeping secrets, though, since she hates them (see above).

     

    Double is a very self-confident mare. She gets really ticked off whenever somepony sys that she can't do something, and it just makes her try harder anyway. The self confidence can sometimes annoy other ponies.

    She is a bit brighter than the average mare, considering her homeschooling. She is also one of those who would say that the cup is *half full*. Due to her mother's experiences and therefore teachings, she is a bit untrusting towards stallions. She prefers the night, as her eyes have an increased sensivity to bright colors/light.

    Likes: Double dislikes sickly sweet things, insects (especially bees, as she is allergic to their sting) and neon colors.

    Double hails from Manehatten. Her parents were an earth pony father named Fizzy (not the G1 pony unfortunately) and a unicorn, Sweet Tea. When she was born, her father decided that he wasn't ready, yet, for a foal. He left Sweet Tea and Double without looking back. Sweet Tea never remarried. She was convinced, now, of the unreliability of stallions and became the sole parent of Double, who was barely old enough to know what was happening. The unfortunate experience left Sweet Tea with an overprotective tendency. She refused to let her daughter attend the Manehatten Filly' and Colt School, one of the local schools at that time, instead homeschooling her. She watched Double grow from a foal to a filly and wanted her to continue on a tea shop that she owned, when she retired.

     

    One fateful day, Double was invited to a neighbor's foal's cuteceneãra. There, she tried the drink that she was named after for the first time, against her mother's wishes. The jittery feeling she had was strange. Sure, she knew about the effects of caffeine, but this felt like something quite different. She requested for a small packet of insta-coffee to take home with her. That night, when her mother was brushing her teeth, she brewed the coffee herself, and drank it.

    All night long, she felt the caffeine in her system. When the first rays of dawn shone through the window, and the rush was finally wearing off, she observed a bright gleam of light on her flank. Just before she slept, tired from her exhaustion, she saw that she had gotten her cutie mark: a steaming coffee cup.

     

    When she reported the cutie mark finding to her mother, Sweet Tea acted overjoyed, but in fact was devastated. Her daughter was now maturing, and she didn't want her to leave. She asked Double what she had done to get her mark, and was told the tale. When it finished, she was even more heartbroken. Her only daughter had a talent completely different from hers, which meant that they would not see each other when they separated paths.

    Double's rest of her schooling was uneventful. When she finally was ready to go out into the world, Sweet Tea finally changed her mind. She saw, now, that her daughter had been raised by her and that her part was over now. With a promise to visit her mother and a smile on her face, Double set off in the world, on a quest to revolutionize coffee for ponies.

     

    She has now settled down in a quiet district of Manehatten and open a small café, which is quite popular to the locals.

    Double is allergic to bee stings, and her eyes have an increased sensivity to brightness.

    Her father, Fizzy, is in no way related to a canon character of any generation.

    She is is a relationship with Lava Lamp.

Hello Peridot! Double Espresso is adorable (and reminds me of my brief stint as a barista) but there are a few little kinks that we’ll need to work out prior to acceptance.

 

  • Appearance - Peridot’s description doesn’t seem to quite match her image, as I do not see any peach color in her mane. It’s alright if the character’s image doesn’t quite match how she should look, but if there are differences then you should clarify that in the description

  • Cutie Mark - You have a “picture to be added” note in this section, but it appears that you have already added a picture

  • Personality - Your description of her as both untrustworthy and as somepony who hates secrets seems to contradict itself, as someone who hates keeping secrets is honest while someone who is untrustworthy is dishonest. Perhaps what you meant to say is that she does not trust others easily? That would fit with her backstory, after all.

  • Likes - Oreos cannot be listed as something she likes as they do not exist in the pony world, in fact I don’t think we’ve seen evidence that any mass-produced food products exist. You could change this to a different cookie if you’d like.

  • Dislikes - Bees do not bite, they sting ;)

  • Backstory -

    • Though the ponified “Amareica” is very cute, as we do not know if there are any states (or whatever this might be) in Equestria it would be best to just say that Double grew up in Manehattan

    • The G1 reference should be removed. If you feel it is helpful, you can clarify that Fizzy is not related to the G1 pony by the same name in the “other” section, as that information would fit better there

    • Where you mentioned the “Filly’s school”, did you mean foals school, or did you intend for it to be the pony equivalent of an all-girls school? If it was intended to be a filly’s school, then you might want to clarify that by saying something about the option of sending her to the regular school. I am also not sure about the idea of there being gender-specific schools, as we never see those kinds of gender divides on the show, and I’m not convinced they’d exist in this kind of society.

    • It would help if we had some information on what Double is doing now. Does she have a job? A home? Or is she a traveller, looking for a place to call home? How does she get by from day to day?

  • Other - I’ve heard of being sensitive to brightness, but I don’t know how eyes could be sensitive to bright colors. I would consider changing this to brightness in general.

Just a note here:

Remember that since Lava Lamp does not belong into EqE, (s)he's not canon, therefore should not take part in any roleplays.

(S)He can be mentioned in them however, of course, within tales/stories or just randomly.

 

Sending to second approval.

Of course :DHey, when I decide to convert Lava to an EqE pony, will I have to go through another approval for Double?

You will not. Double will stay approved, you'll just need to go through the approval process for Lava, unless Lava being approved as a playable character will mean that you want to make changes to Double's bio :)

There is an issue with this character that while minor, is not canonically correct:

It's never been shown that cutie marks give any sort of sensation when they appear. The sentence below would have to be changed:

All night long, she felt the caffeine in her system. When the first rays of dawn shone through the window, and the rush was finally wearing off, she felt a tickling sensation on her flank.

 

Additionally her relationship with the other character, particularly with a link to the character should be in the 'other' section rather than the backstory.

And... Fixed! :D

It is canon that a bright fkash of light appears when you get your CM though.
