Age: 17

Gender: Female

Species: Earth Pony

Cutie Mark: Her cutie mark consists of 3 pieces of generic, wrapped up pieces of candy, that symbolises her knowledge and ability to create good tasting candy of a few different kinds, such as lollipops, gummy (bears, worms, etc.), and taffy. She can also make many other kinds of sweets.

Personality: Sugar Plum typically has very little to say, and doesn't make a ton of friends. Most would assume she's very unhappy, but this is anything but the case. Every day, she goes about her business with a great, big grin upon her face, though there's nothing in particular she's smiling about. Sugar Plum doesn't believe in being sad over the little things in life, and she hates complaining and complainers. She doesn't go as short to say the glass is half full, she goes beyond and says that the glass is filled.<br /><br />She has minimal experience with friendship, but when she becomes friends with someone, she works her hardest to be a very wonderful friend.

Backstory: Sugar Plum has never really had all too fancy of a life. She's never really had much of a life, period. Back when she was a filly, she rarely went out and played with anyone her age, and her relationship with her parents was always just a bit detached; not bad, not good, just not really there. She never really smiled, but neither did she frown, until one day, she tried a strawberry piece of taffy that she had received along with a card on Hearts and Hooves Day. She found it to be so delicious that she began to follow and study things about various kinds of candy. She ate tons and tons of different kinds of candy and sweet treats, until eventually, she decided to try and make her own candy, which turned out to be very good, and got her her cutie mark as well.<br /><br />To this day, Sugar Plum runs a small candy shop in Ponyville, which hardly even makes the money to get by.
