Age: 25

Gender: Male

Species: Unicorn

Cutie Mark: His cutie mark is a voodoo doll, representing his likes for the practice of the lost art of voodoo, as well as puppet and doll creation.

Personality: Poison Puppet is a laid-back, charming, sympathetic unicorn. He tries to be as helpful as he can, though his knowledge is limited. He trusts other ponies easily: way too easily, in fact. Because of that, Poison is quite gullible and is not really somepony who could keep a secret for too long. However, he’s still a loyal member to have in a group, and he always tries his best to never let his friends down.<br /><br />Poison shows great interest in practicing voodoo: a magical art passed through his family’s generations. He very rarely uses it to hurt other ponies, preferring to apply relaxing therapies and cheer them up instead. He is also excellent at making dolls.

Backstory: Son of a wanderer unicorn (father) and a zebra (mother), Poison Puppet was born and spent most of his childhood in a very small village in the outskirts of the Everfree Forest. His parents taught him everything they knew about magic, especially regarding herbal medicine and voodoo; their specialty. However, since his father was actually from Canterlot and didn’t live in the village, he went back to the capital city when Poison was still young. In the village, Poison had a quiet, ordinary childhood: he had a couple of friends, a decent education and loving parents.<br /><br />After he finished his studies, he decided to move to Canterlot to meet his father and start a new life of his own. He was around 16 years old when he moved and very soon found a job as a masseur in a local spa. Nowadays, he works as a pharmacist, creating exotic and natural remedies from different plants and herbs. Occasionally, he travels back to his village to visit his mother.
