Appearance: He has deep blue eyes, a dark, dijon mustard yellow coat, and his mane and tail are a dark, chocolate brown, and always unkept and messy. He is a tall, lean pony, with longer legs than most. His horn glow is a very transparent yellow.

Cutie Mark: His cutie mark is that of a dragon marionette flying out of an opened story book. It represents his love of storytelling through puppetry.

Personality: For his personality, he is an easy going guy. He loves talking to everyone, as to hearing new tales. When he gets excited, he starts talking louder and faster. He foes his best to get along with ponies and when there is a conflict, he always tries to talk it through. And he loves puns to no end. Anything that "mare or mare not" work pun-wise, he'll still go for it. He loves to perform, and will try to do so at any chance he gets, and if he is traveling with someone, he pushes them to perform with him. He loves to travel around from town to town, collecting and sharing stories and tales with the residents, and often asks people questions about their past trying to get new stories. <br /><br />Pinoak likes type of puppet, folktales, history, cheesecake, traveling, and technology. He doesn't like Bad sports, broken wagons, and people touching his puppets without his permission.

Backstory: Pinoak was born in Phillydelphia into a family of traveling storytellers. As a young colt, he was taught by his parents to puppeteer and tell stories as they went from town to town, transforming the stories into puppet productions. He got his cutie mark when he put on his first solo performance in Ponyville. He was telling the tale of the great sun dragon for all of the young fillies and colts down at the school. Throughout the show, he felt something clicking inside of him, like this was what he was supposed to do. When the climax of the story came, where the dragon flew up into the sky and curled up into a ball of fire, it finally clicked in him, and his cutie mark appeared, but never noticed because he had invested himself into the show, he was the story. After the performance, his parents pointed out that he had gotten his cutie mark of the book and dragon marionette. After few more years of traveling, his parents gave him the wagon and went to retire in Canterlot. They charged him with the duty of Storyteller, and to continue to do what he has done all of his life. Telling, and gathering stories.
