Age: 20

Gender: Male

Species: Earth Pony

Cutie Mark: A red heart, symbolic of his love and care for others.

Personality: A kind, loving colt, through and through. His top priority is the well-being of others, no matter what the cost is to himself. An idealist at heart, Pitch always offers the benefit of the doubt to anypony he meets, no matter how menacing they may appear. He's also a pacifist, but he can fight (and likely lose) if he really needs to. His dream in life is to fall in love with somepony who would love him back.<br /><br />Despite his loving nature, Pitch is timid and socially awkward, and couldn't start social interaction for the life of himself. As well, due to his aforementioned benefit-of-the-doubt nature, he's very gullible. Tell him a believable lie, and it's very possible he'll fall for it. He's also very poor at keeping his own emotions in check, and they tend to guide his actions more than legitimate logic at times.

Backstory: From the moment Pitch was born, his parents, and even the doctors, initially thought Pitch was a mare. He was initially raised with feminine ideologies because of this. Once the issue was resolved, his parents tried to deprive him of his girly side, but he threw a tantrum and eventually his parents let him resume his feminine ways.<br /><br />In his days in Elementary school, he was often picked on for everything feminine about him, but it strangely never bothered him... in fact, it led him to go buying more dolls and the like as though to humor their mocking words. One of his more awkward subjects of his days in school was that he was flirted with by other colts several times. Never made things better for him, but it surprisingly did make him a few friends in the end.<br /><br />He earned his Cutie Mark when he was late in Elementary school. He was walking to school when he saw a young, weak mare being bullied. Seeing her pain greatly harmed Pitch. Now, most ponies would stand up for the poor victim by being tough and starting a fight. Pitch, however, ran up and greeted the bullies in the most feminine way possible... smile and soft voice and all. He continued talking to them until they redirected their efforts toward him, allowing the mare the oppurtunity to report them. Unfortunately, things didn't quite go his way, as it turns out the bullies were trusted members of the school, and the blame was slid onto her. He fought tooth and nail to defend her, until a snapped bully punched him in the face out of anger, breaking their facade. The mare was traumatized, but Pitch gave soft, gentle words to help her out. His Cutie Mark came with that.<br /><br />He went through school with fair difficulty but pulled through easily majoring in psychology. He had intended to become a psychologist, but did not get the job due to his poor control over his own emotions.<br /><br />Currently, he works as the resident caretaker in Ponyville, taking care of foals whenever needed.
