Appearance: Wavy mint green mane and tail, pastel blue coat, soft pink eyes.<br /><br />But you can see that.<br />

Cutie Mark: A heart, with one side white and one side black, with a pink treble clef over it.<br />Symbolizes that she has a pure heart and that she makes other ponies happy with her singing, but that her schizophrenia shrouds her in darkness when it comes.<br />

Personality: While quiet and reserved, she is not shy and not a pushover. She loves seeing smiles on ponies' faces. She is fairly quick to trust. She loves making others happy with her singing.<br />She is very kind and always willing to help. She can be doubtful of herself at times but will try to remain optimistic.<br />While she usually trusts ponies quickly, she is also afraid of losing friends.<br />Her hallucinations can easily give her breakdowns.

Backstory: Sweet loved the nature around her hometown and loved to sing to the birds. She was self-conscious about singing in front of ponies, though, even though her parents had told her several times that she had a lovely voice. She still wouldn't sing in front of others. <br />When she was 8, she still did not have her cutie mark. <br />Her best friend suddenly fell ill and it was very unlikely for her to survive. the only ponies who still had hope for her were her family and Sweet Symphony.<br />The doctors had been right. She did not make it, but the day that she died, she asked Sweet to sing for her. Knowing that this could've been her last request, she complied and sang her her favorite song. The sound of her voice filled her friend with happiness, putting a happy smile on her face as she drifted away.<br /><br />After her friend died, Symphony wouldn't leave her room. She cried for days and wouldn't talk to anyone, barely ate. She so believed that she could've done something instead of just sit there and cry and sing. She stayed up late and would only sleep when she blacked out from exhaustion, addling her brain with sleep-deprived delusioons.<br />Voices made their way into her mind. They told her things, things that terrified her or made her feel worse. <br />After a few weeks, she couldn't take it anymore. She left the room and went back to school, pretending to be happy. She thought that it would get rid of the voices.<br />A month passed, and the voices still had not gone. They came and went, along with other delusions and hallucinations, but they never completely left.<br />one night, as Symphony could not sleep from the voices screaming at her, she saw a faded image of her friend. It looked like a ghost, and she passed it off as another hallucination.<br />It wasn't. her friend convinced her it was truly her, and told her that she shouldn't blame herself, there was nothing that she could've done. symphony had been told this so many times, but she hadn't believed it once, until now. She allowed herself to forgive herself, and became happy again. She went back to school and started singing for ponies.<br />In all the time that she had been depressed, she had not noticed that her cutie mark had appeared.<br />After graduating school, she moved to Ponyville. The nature there was abundant, and the ponies there loved her singing.<br /><br /><br />
