Age: 19

Gender: Female

Species: Earth Pony

Appearance: Small and frail, Serene is not the most sturdy looking pony in the world. With her natural colors bright and friendly, one would never think to be intimidated by her. However, in times of peril her facial expressions show her true emotions, and the anger and frustration she keeps held within.

Cutie Mark: Her cutie mark is currently unknown to her, which leaves her pondering what it may be.

Personality: To a strangers eye, Serene would seem to be the natural shy type, unable to speak a word to a soul. While this is true to people she does not know, her attitude changes dramatically when she is with friends. She is loud and outspoken, ready to get her opinion heard with the people she cares about. Like her family back in the human world, she took care of them, like she was the mother. Now that she is in the pony world, she must learn to cope with the loss of her loved ones, and hopefully make new friends.<br /><br />She has a very small temper, unable to control it at times. She attempts to hide this by keeping her voice to a low pitch, so ponies will leave her alone.

Backstory: When Serene was a human, she was a completely different person, in terms of the way she lived her life. She began life as a good soul, but soon plummeted into the sour life of crime. From drugs to obscene actions, she had done it all. In an attempt to bring her life together, her mother called an intervention for her. Serene was furious from their actions, blinded by rage at the time, and stomped out of their home. While Serene was the motherly figure in her home, she couldn't help but be angry at them. She used drugs to calm down from the stressful life that always threatened to destroy her.<br /><br />As she ran way from home, she found herself facing masked men in her neighborhood. They called out to her, to which Serene replied with fleeing as quickly as she could. As she ran, she could hear footsteps of the men behind her. Desperate to make her escape, she darted into an abandoned subway station, praying to god she could get away.<br /><br />Once inside, she hid in the darkness, listening to the gruff voices of the men who were following her. Much to her relief, the men left the station after their search ended up dry, and Serene pulled herself out of the darkness. As she rose, Serene heard a deafening sound below her. Along with this sound, she could feel something pulling her back to the ground, as if there was a huge vacuum cleaner beneath her.<br /><br />Before she could scream, Serene fell to her back, but much to her surprise, she continued to fall. She felt like she had jumped out of an aircraft, and was now plummeting down to the Earth below. She was so exhausted, she did not have the energy to scream. She just let the sweet embrace of slumber that was at the back of her mind to blanket her, darkening all of her senses. In moments, she was asleep, and her new life would begin.
