Age: 23

Gender: Female

Species: Earth Pony

Cutie Mark: A mushroom. It represents the fall and her talent of finding unique life hidden in the world, such as wild edible plants and rare fauna and flora.

Personality: She is very level-headed. She almost never gets mad. She doesn't talk much, but she is not shy. She is always willing to help anyone in need of her ability.

Backstory: She has always lived in the forest with her family group. They were gatherers. She had a peaceful life, and enjoys the exciting trip to the city every now and then to barter her goods for sweets and pretty things.<br /><br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />Amber was born on the day of the Autumnal Equinox in the middle of a fairy ring in the forest. The moonlight shone down on her innocent body as she breathed in her first breath of the crisp, fresh air. She was the color a light amber, with hair as red as the fall leaves. Her family then decided to call her Amber Harvest.<br /><br />She lived in the forest with her parents, and the other forest ponies. Blood or not, they all considered themselves one big family. There was peace among them all. A few debates would turn to arguments, but those were always easily settled by a good laugh from another pony.<br /><br />As Amber grew, she noticed that she could easily find plants that eluded even the elders of the forest. Everyone was very proud of her findings, as they fetched a hefty price in the city, as exotic produce will. She eventually got her cutie mark for her talent. It was not, however, limited to plants. She had quite a way with animals. She could easily find all of their hiding places, and she would try as hard as she could to gain their trust. She was never one to turn down a friend, whether they had hoof or paw.<br /><br />Amber soon grew old enough to sell her own goods. Her first visit to town left her in awe. She'd never seen such beautiful architecture, so many ponies, even their fashion! She soon started to spend her extra bits on the colorful or shiny jewelry. She also came across an aroma of which she'd never smelled before. She followed her nose into a little shop. There she was given a free sample of which she found out was a freshly baked pumpkin spice cupcake. She simply melted with glee. She purchased the whole batch to take back to her family.
