Cocoa Pod

By Hibiscus Bloom

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Species: Unicorn

Appearance: Cocoa has a chocolate brown coat, and hair an even darker shade. Both her mane and tail are kept in thick, long plaits, tied up with gold scrunchies. Her eyes are golden, matching her cutie mark's colour, which can be quite striking amidst her brown colour theme. Her eyelids are usually lowered as a result of her fatigue, giving her a calm aura. Her magic is also gold, like her eyes and cutie mark. She stands at around the same height as the mane six.

Cutie Mark: Cocoa's cutie mark is three cocoa/coffee beans, to represent her talent at growing, harvesting and making chocolate! (As well as other similar things like coffee, and, in her younger years, of course with a little help from her big brother Bean)<br /><br />http://perrikara.deviantart.com/art/My-OCs-Cutie-Marks-459411718 << you can see it better here (it's the first one on the second row)

Personality: Cocoa is hardworking and devoted. She's often not as responsive as she would be - slightly too sleepy - as she can overwork herself on the farm. However, because of her subtle perfectionism, she continues working until every job is done as they should be. <br />When socialising, she is usually quiet and soft-spoken with a voice ever so slightly deeper than most mares' - but this is usually a result of her general sleepiness which she only ever feels the effects of when she's not working on the farm. Despite this, if someone asks for her assistance, she will help no matter how tired she is or how concerned she is about the outcome of the plan. Sometimes she can go a bit over the top though, like that one time...

Backstory: Cocoa Pod's parents originally come from the far-off land of Zebrica, where cocoa-farming was common. After hearing of the opportunities they could have in Ponyville, they immediately moved there. After this they became parents to first Cocoa Bean (or just 'Bean') and then Cocoa Pod.<br />Despite being an Zebrican-looking pony, she did not pick up the accent from her parents. Instead she speaks like most of the ponies in Ponyville.<br />After the move, her family continued to farm cocoa pods and create the finest, freshest chocolate that could be found in Ponyville, or even Equestria. The fact that they ran the only cocoa farm in the whole area made their family-run chocolate business very profitable.<br />In her younger years, Cocoa Pod was determined to help out on the farm - but she wasn't allowed to without the assistance of her older brother Bean. During these years of working together, the siblings developed a very strong bond and still rely on eachother as best friends would nowadays.
