Cutie Mark: A Sunflower with its stem twirling down her leg.<br />At night the flower will close, during the day the flower will open, If Arrowleaf is feeling sad or alone the flower will droop, if she is happy it will be open and turn very vibrant shade of yellow.<br /><br />Her tree (Before it was burnt down) was in the center of a large field full of sunflowers, She feels a strong connection with all nature and has the ability to control plants.<br />

Personality: Nice. Calm. Gentle. She can get a little jealous at times. She doesn't really care how she looks. <br />She doesn't like crowds or big city's. She is always happy when surrounded by nature, But gets rather scared and/or grumpy when surrounded by things that have been built by ponies.

Backstory: Arrowleaf is a dryad and like all dryads she was connected to a tree, In Arrowleafs case She was connected to a large beautiful oak tree in the center of a field of sunflowers, On top of a hill overlooking the ocean.<br /><br />After several rather lonely years a group of glistening ponies sailed to the shore and built a small glistening town at the bottom of the hill that Arrowleaf lived upon.<br /><br />Several more years past and many of the glistening ponies started telling stories of the mare in the tree at the top of the hill. Arrowleaf was happy she finally had ponies to Listen to and watch.<br /><br />The glistening Ponies would come to the big oak tree and camp out underneath it. She enjoyed listening to the story's that the ponies told, But sometimes she got a little scared.<br /><br /><br />The village had been there for 70 years and had grown into a shining city made out of crystal.<br />One day, a young colt came to the tree and sat down underneath it, He talked to himself about the stories that the he had heard about the the mare in the tree he sat under.<br /><br />The young colt trotted up to the big oak tree every day and sometimes even started talking to it... But one day, Arrowleaf decided to talk back.<br />The colt was shocked at first but soon, Him and Arrowleaf became best friends.<br /><br /><br />The colt would visit everyday.<br />But, After about 80 years The colt... Who had grown up and had foals and even grandfoals of his own... Trotted up to Arrowleafs tree and sat down underneath, they talked and laughed until the colt slowly closed his eyes and didn't wake up.<br /><br />At first, Arrowleaf didn't know what happened, She didn't know what death was, She tried to wake him but was seen by one of the younger ponies who lived in the town.<br /><br />The Pony thought Arrowleaf had killed the old colt so he ran down to the glistening city screaming about an evil witch under the old oak tree.<br /><br />So the king of the city called upon a very skilled unicorn who goes by the name of Sombra.<br /><br />Sombra... (who knew that Arrowleaf was not a witch but only a peaceful dryad)... Separated Arroleaf from her tree and burnt the field and the tree to the ground. <br /><br />Arrowleaf ,who was depressed and very week, left the place where her tree used to be and wondered equestria until one day when she decided she couldn't take it anymore, She sat down under an apple tree in a dark forest and never left the tree, soon the trees roots grew around her.<br /><br /><br />She slept in the tree for a thousand years but awoke one night, when a young filly with cute pigtails came and picked the apples from the tree.<br /><br />Arrowleaf watched as the filly was surrounded by timberwolves and chased out of the forest.<br /><br />That was the day that she knew she could do more than just sit there.<br /><br /><br />The family just outside her forest started growing apple trees and Every night, Arrowleaf would leave the tree in the forest and she would use her dryad magic and help some of the smaller tree's grow.<br /><br />After helping the family start their farm, She left to the small village that had been built just down the road from the farm.<br /><br />Arrowleaf decided that she wanted to start a new life and try to forget her horrible past. So, She started her very own flower shop and is living happily in the town of Ponyville.
