Dove Marigold

By Ihei

• January 7, 2015

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Species: Earth Pony

Appearance: Brown eyes with a hint of yellow - long blonde mane. She has a white coat and typically wears a saddlebag at all times. Her hooves are polished and shined - so she could keep up with her false persona.

Cutie Mark: A herb. She could identify any plants and tell if they were edible or safe to eat. She always has some "sense" that tells her which herb is okay to eat amd which is not.

Personality: Dove is an experienced gambler. She tricks ponies into trusting her by showing her fake personality - a kind, sweet mare who loves everypony. Dove likes and has to swipe things from ponies. She doesn't care what she takes as long as she could cash it in or put it to good use.<br /><br />Dove's fake personality is a respresentative of Dove when she was still an innocent little filly. However, her fake personality is also rather interested in the occult or serial killers. She isextremely polite and soft-hearted. Her persona also gets irritated at ponies being insensitive and defends others when she needs to. Some ponies (those who caught her, which is unlikely) say that her alternate ego is like an opposite of her true self, excluding her fears, which are real.<br /><br />Her true personality is - like her fake one - calm and collected. She is very ambitious and her dream is to move into a mansion with many handsome butlers and live a luxorious life. She tends to also be straight to the point and not afraid to say what she feels. She still feels like she should help ponies, but only in secret. Otherwise, she would insult them in an angry tone. <br /><br /> She wishes to pay back the ponies she stole from, but she at the same time feels like it is "justice" for those who wronged her.

Backstory: Dove, when she was little, was a very happy filly. She loved playing with dolls and being with other people. However, her mother died giving birth to her and her father blamed her for it. He would never offer to give her food or hospitality - he would always say, "This is the real world, you have to survive on your own." Even when her father said that though, she developed the dream of living a luxorious life - which led her to try her hardest to make bits.<br /><br />Dove was an only child and she knew how to make a living since she was only in kindergarten. She excelled in school and her grades. She thought that what she lived through was normal. She made many friends and her life was good so far. <br /><br />However, one day in high school, a colt stole a bag of about 100 bits she has saved up. She had no idea where he had went, and she went home with no food that night. While she was in her bed, she figured she could steal it back. She asked some of her friends to help her and they said that they heard somepony talking about how they could treat their friends to drinks.<br /><br />Dove approached a friend of the culprit and asked if she could join them. He said yes, and Dove showed up later that night at a bar. The culprit and his friends were there - and she tried her best to blend in with the group. Just before they went into the bar, she reached into his saddlebag and swiped the bits back.<br /><br />She, with this event, realized that there was an easier way to make a living - to steal. She began to make many more "friends" and steal their bits behind their backs. At 17, she left her home with her bits and found an apartment affordable to live in, still living by her father's saying.<br /><br />
