Age: 22

Gender: Female

Species: Earth Pony

Cutie Mark: Camellia's cutie mark, three tea leaves, symbolizes her extensive knowledge and love of growing and brewing tea.

Personality: Cheerful, peppy and expressive. Camellia always greets ponies with a smile. There is no such thing as a bad day to her.

Backstory: Born in Canterlot at the young age of 0, Camellia was raised by her parents, Clove(mother) and Rutabaga(father) both of whom were produce merchants who worked in the Canterlot market. When she was 6 her father began to take her to the marketplace with him. One day there she met a traveling Zebra herbalist named Ramuan, who was selling tea. Ramuan and Camellia struck up a long conversation on the wonders of tea, and at the end of the day he agreed to take the filly under his wing(metaphorically of course). Under his tutelage Camellia has become an expert at tea growing and brewing and even owns her own shop in Canterlot. She still keeps in frequent contact with her mentor, who continues to travel Equestria and the lands beyond. Ever so often he will return to Canterlot, bringing with him exotic new herbs for Camellia to try.
