Appearance: Chocolate Chess is a slightly tall non-muscular unicorn with a light brown coat and hair the color of dark chocolate.<br />His hair is slightly unkempt. but not overly messy

Cutie Mark: His cutie mark is a chess piece on a 3*3 square of a chessboard.<br />The cutie mark represents his special talent being chess

Personality: Chocolate Chess is a pony with a lot more book smarts than street smarts, he's not one for starting conversations with ponies that he doesn't, but tries his best to be nice to anyone that approaches him.<br /><br />Although he doesn't like trying to make friends with people who don't talk to him first, a lot of times, Chess would rather be doing something that he didn't like with close friends than doing something he enjoys alone

Backstory: Born in Manehatten as Chester Cocoa, Chocolate Chess' parents died when he was young foal, leaving him with his brother and his aunt as his only living relatives.<br /><br />After being teased by a few other ponies about his name, Chester started to try and avoid interaction with ponies outside of his family. <br /><br />Since Chester didn't do much in order of making friends himself, his aunt often tried to get him to play with other ponies his age, however, most of them were a bit too energetic for Chester's quite, calm nature. However, there were a few ponies that Chester became friends with despite their differences. <br /><br />Cutie Mark story (Told by Chess):<br />I'd always been pretty good at logic games like chess and checkers, so I loved to play them with my friends. But a few of my non-unicorn friends who liked to play chess kept getting splinters on their tongues from moving the pieces. So I, since I've always loved chocolate, decided to make some chess pieces out of dark and white chocolate for the different sides. Because of the fact that you only get to eat the chocolate if you win, that was enough motivation to get me to step up my game and realize how much I liked playing chess<br /><br /><br />First time baking (Told by Chess):<br />When I was a colt, I had been playing with some friends in the house and I knocked over a table with a cake on top of it. My aunt had bought the cake earlier that day for an important party that she was going to the next day. I found a recipe for a similar cake and baked it and frosted it in a way that looked as close to the original cake as possible, but after the party she ended up telling me that I did an amazing job on the replacement cake. Apparently she had known the entire time!
