Age: 24

Gender: Male

Species: Earth Pony

Appearance: (Stuff ya cant see in the picture...)<br />He's very muscular<br />He's got sharp teeth and has many scars around his body.

Cutie Mark: an ax and a knife in an X shape.<br /><br />Forest is an expert woodworker, be it carving or chopping. He can build houses, chairs, cabinets, and he makes carvings...which are all beautiful.

Personality: Grumpy...well, he seem's grumpy and act's grumpy but he has a good side.<br />He is quite caring and protective and...very stubborn, which is just as good as it is bad...he would rather die than give up.

Backstory: He was the first child of six. His father was abusive and angry, taking most of his anger out on Forest and Forest's mother.<br /><br />Forest's father left when Forest was six, leaving Forest to be the colt of the house. He helped his mother raise his siblings.<br /><br />He got a job at the small wood shop down town and was taught quite a bit, one of those things being...how to carve.<br /><br />He had been working at the shop for three weeks when he finished building two beds for his siblings. They all had to take turns sleeping in the two beds the house had so having another two was the best thing anypony could ask for.<br /><br /><br />Another week and a half later he had finished another. That plus the couch meant they would have just enough to keep comfortable...well, to them at least.<br /><br /><br />The day he finished building the last bed he got his cutiemark...he was twelve.<br /><br />He was...well he wasn't anything. A cutie mark couldn't take care of a family so he wasn't all that phased by it...he was happy of course but his family was more important.<br /><br />It was when he was fifteen. It was very late and he was pulling several large logs from the everfree forest...when he was attacked.<br /><br />He dragged himself home with wounds all over his body, bite marks, it was dreadful.<br /><br />He spent two weeks recovering.<br /><br />It was about a month later whenhe really discovered what it was he was attacked by...sadly he had to figure it out the hard way. He killed his younger sister who was only six.<br /><br />His mother told him that it wasn't his fault, he couldn't have done anything to stop it...she wanted him to stay but...Forest never forgave himself. He left the second oldest child who was fourteen how to take care of the family before he left.<br /><br />He told them he would visit every day but he couldn't be around loved ones at certain times...his worst fear was hurting another one of his family members.<br /><br />He walked deep into the everfree forest where he...with his own two hooves, built himself a small cottage by a lake.<br /><br />Three years later, he is still visiting his family. A few of his siblings had moved out, making it easier on his mother, he would bring them food from his garden which he got help starting from his only friend. She owned a garden just outside of the forest and was an expert at growing plants...her name was Evergreen, or Eve as she preferred.<br /><br />Forest sell's his carvings in Ponyville...he makes next to no bits but he rarely needs them. He has his own garden for food and his home is in the everfree forest...so there are no taxes he had to pay.<br /><br />Apart from Eve he had one friend who went by the name of Vesper. He was a rather odd fellow who also lived in the forest...<br />Vesper and Forest would get together and chat quite often...considering they were pretty much the only two ponies living that deep in the Everfree Forest.<br /><br />When Forest turned twenty, his mother died of pneumonia late one winter.<br />The whole family was devastated but luckily they still had each other...and as tough as it was, they managed to move on with their lives. The younger siblings moved out to live with the older ones who had all moved to the larger cities like Canterlot and Manehatten.<br /><br />If we skip to today...Forest is still living in his hut...with has wood carvings all around it, making it look rather creepy. He is constantly in touch with his family...by letter of course, considering most of them had moved around Equestria. He is still living in the woods...alone.<br />He still has only the two friends who both know of his...problem...which he keeps hidden from everypony except them and his siblings.<br /><br />And there he is...
