Backstory: Mint Remedy grew up in Palomino Creek, a small village with a forest surrounding it where a mare named Antiqua came and started up a school for disabled children. Her parents were doctors and were employed there as medical staff, so she spent most of her time there. She usually got herbs from the nearby forest so her parents could make a few natural remedies.<br />One day, it was a professional development day, so she had nothing to do. She found herself wandering into the woods. <br />She found a filly in a clearing, passed out and bleeding. Mint Remedy was too small to carry her out, so she gathered nearby plants and just... helped. She made bandages with leaves and stopped the filly's intense coughing by making a tea-esque remedy. she had never watched her parents make remedies, she just knew what herbs were for. The pony looked considerably better after taking the makeshift medicine. Mint stayed by her side .<br />The filly woke up about an hour afterwards, and couldn't remember a thing. Mint helped her out of the forest, and only then did she realize she had gotten her cutie mark.<br /><br />The filly never remembered her name or anything, so Mint's parents adopted her as Mint's sister and helped her come up with a name.<br />The pony and Mint became very close as sisters.<br /><br />A few years later, Mint was hired as a new part-time nurse at the school, as she still came and helped out every day. Mint was 12 at the time. She agreed, elated that she would be earning her own money doing something she loved at such a long age. Her parents were proud.<br /><br />Two years later, she got a scholarship to Manechester Academy For Talented Ponies. She hated to leave the school and her family, but they all encouraged her, and it was an amazing opportunity, so she agreed. <br /><br />She met four ponies there, Sunset Sky, Glowing Notes, Pacific Glow, and Aura Feather. She became friends with the latter quickly, andwas the leading factor in helping Sunset out of her shell, at least around them.
