Age: 25

Gender: Female

Species: Earth Pony

Appearance: Steam Stands is a leaf green Earth Pony. She has a large size for herself. Maybe it was genetics, but she clearly was taller than most ponies. Though she didn't have the same strength comparatively to even someponies 2/3 her size. Mare or Stallion when it came to earth ponies. <br /><br />She had twig brown hair where it had bangs on the side of her face. Sometimes the hair is woven and free when she's not busy with a job or scavenge time. most times, she's usually wrapped on a ponytail to avoid any type of tactical disadvantage. Her green fur just above her hooves and her tail short to avoid any "extra weight"

Cutie Mark: A Roll of Duct Tape and Metal Cogs turning around. Duct Tape representing quick repairs and the Metal Cogs her supposedly specializing in metal. (Maybe it means guns?)

Personality: Sarcastic at her best and Cynical at her worst. Her skills when it comes to being social are weak to downright terrible. It doesn't help that she's been more of a lone wolf for these past years. It became less and less necessary to socialize and more of a need to worry more about what caps would be good to retire? How much would she need to finally live off on her own and maybe even...<br /><br />Steam is a introvert and tends to keep her thoughts to herself. Usually inciting some snarky remark when asked for something "unnecessary" to her. Sometimes even using her size to try to push her off. (She tries to avoid any lethal attempts, but will do so if need-be.)

Backstory: You could say that she a "normal" life. As normal as it could get in the Wastelands of a World. Living off the settled lands was something you feel was normal. Food might be on the table, but it certainly wasn't something you can enjoy at times. Days past not with books, but with tales of the past. The past so far that it starts to become more of myths. Over time, curious got the better of her. What could she did to find out? Many of the elder ponies told many of the colts and fillys to stay away from the outskirts of the city. Raiders had still try fight off the small militia that was formed there. <br /><br />Older and Older that Steam Stands got, the more skeptically she became of the town lasting any longer. She had no clue, but there were whispers of groups coming and settling this into a camp. Pleading with her parents to leave, they disagrees saying that "this was the place we live and the place to die." <br /><br />The stubborness got to her. At a young age, she left the comfort of a home, to the wasteland trying to find some middle grounds might lead to the wastelands gobbling the town up...<br /><br />To this day, she has never come back. Though she wasn't exactly the world greatest filly, she also felt remorseful for leaving the town. She learned how to shoot there. How to repair there and even got her cutie mark there. Everything started in that one small little town. Ponies to have meet and now... She became alone. The wastelands give time to research and learn. Becoming a better shot, use the wastelands actually color to hide better. She became more hidden beneath. Even when she finally reached her full height, she still can hide. With so much open space, it's knowing what position and time you're willing to waste. From there it's only takes time to start being more of new mare hoping not to be shot to a sniper. The transition did take some time, with Jerry Riggin' a old hunting rifle. It took some time and some bullet wounds to become better and better. Taking some odd jobs to get caps. Leaving off the wastelands and even killing Raiders just for the "greater good" as somepony would say. Clothes became more used for stealth and "blending" in. Steam would never call herself a assassin, but others who ask for her services would say so. <br /><br />She didn't bother to gain any friends, only clients who might need a extra job for the caps. Her moral grounds have stirred away. More and more against the idea of wondering what happen to the small town of hers. Now here she is, just trotting along the wasteland. Days and nights blending in as sniper earth pony is just living off the wastelands...
