Character Personality: Confident, intelligent, and rational, Calico enjoys many of the ‘higher pleasures’ in life, including music, art, and philosophy. She frequently prefers to be alone, studying the writings of past and contemporary philosophers or honing her archery skills, though she also enjoys socializing with peers. Her wealthy upbringing engendered a slight sense of superiority in her, which she quickly learned hampered her ability to socialize well with anyone who was not accustomed to the privileges of wealth. Calico has since tried to keep a more open mind, but is not always successful. Because she was raised in a mostly isolated community of unicorns for most of her life, she also has little experience interacting with non-unicorn ponies, and can sometimes feel and appear awkward around them.

Bio: Several generations ago, the Quivers were a relatively poor family of fletchers, crafting and selling arrows, and occasionally bows. Through hard work and perseverance, the Quivers eventually became a well-known, reliable supplier of arrows, and the business expanded over the years to outfit many who took up archery. After the business grew and the family came across more money, subsequent generations used the wealth to pursue their own interests outside of fletching and archery. In fact, over several generations, the family became almost entirely uninvolved in the business together. Though the name persisted, the “Quiver” name became merely a relic of the family’s past association with fletching - until recently.

Born into a life of wealth and privilege in Canterlot, Calico never had to worry about the finances of her family, and so was left to pursue whatever her heart desired without fear. Though she took well to reading very quickly, her parents worried that she may become too bookish at such a young age, so they pushed her to try out a variety of other activities. Many failed to hold Calico’s interest, and while she took to art and music fairly well, she found a true thrill in the sport of archery, and in fact discovered her cutie mark in an archery range. Since then, her parents encouraged her to pursue her talent further by entering her in archery competitions around Equestria, many of which she won.

During the competitions, Calico met many other entrants from many other walks of life, some of which were vastly different from her own. She lived a relatively isolated life in the upper echelons of society; meeting ponies from all over Equestria were very fascinating experiences for her. Though her parents were apprehensive, Calico became determined not to keep herself isolated from the rest of society forever.

After graduating from one of the most prestigious universities in Canterlot, Calico decided to start up a shop making and selling arrows, taking notes from the original Quivers. Though her true talent was in shooting rather than fletching, she still enjoyed the day-to-day interactions with other ponies from other walks of life. Recently, however, she began to feel the need to expand her horizons even more, and began to think about applying her talent for shooting for a more practical purpose, rather than for pure sport. She signed up with the military shortly after.
