Age: 26

Gender: Female

Species: Pegasus

Cutie Mark: Her cutie mark is two cherries on a lollipop. She got her cutie mark when she was very young and helping her mentor Minty Cakes, make cake pops for a special Hearts and Hooves day celebration at the Canterlot gardens. She created her very first sweet that day and has been a confectioner and baker ever since.

Personality: She's often shy, though she is very polite to customers who visit. She is always kindhearted and quick to care for others. She is very innocent and naive in the way that she is generally very quick to trust those around her, which has sometimes ended badly for her. While her sweetness and compassion for others may be her most redeeming qualities they can also tend to be her biggest weaknesses as she has been betrayed and hurt in her past, though because she is so full of love she rarely gets angry or holds a grudge.

Backstory: Born Cherrisima Victory Blossom she was the second born daughter to a Wealthy Unicorn Mare named Seronada Majesty Blossom and an equally wealthy Unicorn Stallion named Lord Victor VonCharisma, who lived in a sprawling mansion in upper Canterlot. Cherrisima, or Cherry as she preferred to be called, was one of three foals born to this high class couple. They had two girls and one son. The oldest was their other daughter Miss Majesty VonCharisma. The youngest was their only son Champion Victor VonCharisma. <br /><br />Within the VonCharisma household the rules were very strict and the children were expected to be sophisticated and proper, to bring honor to the family name. Cherry never seemed to please her parents no matter how hard she tried. She wasn't as smart or elegant as her sister or as strong and athletic as he brother. She was a cute, clutzy little filly with a frizzy curly mane and tail and bright bold pink and mint fur. Compared to the rest of the family whose coats shone brightly in beautiful golden and silvery colors with icy blue or deep amber eyes, she didn't even stand a chance of fitting in. Not to mention the fact that she was the only Pegasus among the children as her brother and sister were both talented young unicorns. One day she was helping the house chef in the kitchen, avoiding the judgmental eyes of her family when the kind stallion offered to let her help him make the desert. It turned out to be the most delicious pudding pie the family had ever eaten, but at the same time they still scoffed at it for not being as elegant as their usual meals. With that poor Cherry knew there was nothing she could ever do to truly be accepted in her family, so that night she packed a few belongings and left.<br /><br />She found a job working for a small sweet shop in the lower part of Canterlot called Sweet Peace Cakes. This is where she met Minty Cakes and began to train under the kind elderly mare and eventually not only perfected her baking and candy making skills, she also earned her very own cutie mark! Sadly however one day as every pony does, Minty Cakes grew too old and tired and she passed on from the world. Saddened by the loss of her friend and teacher Cherry couldn't bear to abandon the candy shop she loved as a home. She stayed on under her new manager, Miss Diana Deluclure, who renamed the shop Deluclure Delights. <br /><br />One day while she was tending the sales floor a small group of fillies and colts came in wide eyes with hunger as they looked at the mountains of sweets. It was plain to see these young foals could not afford the candies, but unable to let them go hungry she made them all a special Apple crumble to take home and enjoy. paying for the treat with her own bits. Still Diana was furious, claiming "Now all the rubbish will come in expecting hand outs! You're fired!" And so again Cherry was forced to leave her "home." She traveled to Manehatten hoping for a fresh new start even changing her name to Cherry Bloom legally. But because she was an "amateur" No one in the bustling city wanted to risk hiring her. So she took what little money she had left and purchased a small food cart and now travels around selling goodies at very low prices, barely making ends meet hoping one day she will find some place where she can truly shine and bring smiles to her customers faces once again.
