Age: 22

Gender: Female

Species: Unicorn

Personality: Asocial, but very smart. Her only desire is to learn new spells and hone her magical abilities. Generally mistrusting and distant of any pony she meets.

Backstory: Mint Petal is the only child of an earth pony father and a unicorn mother. Before she could even have any memories of her father, he vanished from her life. Since that event, her mother became depressed and very controlling, using magic to make Mint obey whatever she said. She was the third pony in her class to earn her cutie mark, by accidentally changing the color of her mane and tail from a cool, minty green to jet black. She was constantly bullied throughout school leading to her distrust and avoidance of every pony possible. Her first large incident was when she asked another filly to a school dance, unaware of social customs. She has been ridiculed for that event until her graduation. Almost immediately after graduating, she left for Ponyville for some peace and quiet, as well as independent magic study. After a few years of staying in Ponyville, she received a letter from the Canterlot Archives, offering her a job as an arcane researcher. She immediately took the job and moved back to Canterlot, where she now resides in an apartment complex about 15 minutes away from the Archives.
