By Jackie Snack

Age: 29

Gender: Female

Species: Earth Pony

Appearance: Her mane is sage green, long, reaching past her shoulder and combed straight and back into a simple low hanging ponytail. Her eyes match her hair in color. <br /><br />She wears no accessories, save for a small black mane tie. She finds that her tail tends to get in the way and has it trimmed regularly to medium length. She has heavy bags under her eyes from lack of sleep.<br /><br />She's the height of the average mare with a slightly thicker frame, as a result of what little farming she is required to do. She is a decent runner, but prefers not to expend too much energy. Her hips are rather defined.<br /><br />Due to her working with garlic, Honey tends to have the smell stuck to her wherever she goes.

Cutie Mark: A garlic clove. Honey Clove farms garlic cloves for her business and sells them intact or as seasoning and sauces. She has a knack for making the garlic turn out extra pungent and flavorful, no matter if its raw or cooked.

Personality: Honey, despite her sweet name, is actually quite distant and cold when you first meet her. She doesn't seem to have a filter on what she says, being a tenacious mixture of direct and blunt. She also seems to disregard personal space and has a habit of sniffing others when they get close. Her excuse, when asked, is that they 'don't smell like garlic'. <br /><br />However, despite being distant and cold, she can 'latch' onto a pony and follow them around, even if she claims that they annoy her. Said pony, if given time, can experience a softer side of Honey Clove, but it takes a long while.<br /><br />She is always tired. Honey Clove refuses to sleep more than four hours a night, claiming that any more 'wastes her time'. During her down time, she can be found either reading or writing, the latter being a little hobby she picked up a few years ago. <br /><br />Her love life is virtually non-existant, but she has been seen to treat her lovers very well, even spoiling them. She likes to joke with them rashly, often using mild insults as a term of endearment.<br /><br />Honey Clove doesn't really have any ambitions. She just wants to make money and live comfortably, even if it means doing job she doesn't like.

Backstory: Honey Clove is the child of a beekeeper mother and a garlic farmer father. She had a typical middle-class upraising and never really had too much to worry about. Her biggest issue was her name. Her name was inspired by her parent's favorite combination of tastes on their food, a similar ideal that they applied to their relationship. Honey Clove absolutely hates being named after food and has chosen to represent herself with the nickname 'Layers'.<br /><br />As such, Layers wasn't too happy to have found herself following in her father's hoofsteps, but she couldn't argue the high quality stuff she was growing. <br /><br />She currently maintains a large garden and has several contracts with stores in other cities to carry her product, as well as being a local vendor.
