Bit of a long read here, sorry about that! I tend to write a lot. D:
Name: Pennyroyal
Gender: Female
Age: Young Adult
Species: Earth Pony
Pelt Color: Cream
Mane/Tail Color & Style: Long, straight hair with the occasional stray curl. Red and white striped.
Eye Color: Bright Green
Cutie Mark: Two mint leaves and a peppermint candy.
Residence: Ponyville
Occupation: Ex-chef, candymaker.
Talents, Skills: Penny possesses a natural ability to cook. She'd actually be quite good at it if she didn't add mint to everything.
Likes: Peppermint, Spearmint, Applemint, Marshmint, Redmint, Greenmint, Purplemint...need we go on?
Dislikes: Sour foods, thunder, running out of candy(gasp!).
Character Personality: Pennyroyal is quite mellow as far as her attitude goes. She takes each day one step at a time, never one to rush things, and takes every moment in stride. She has a great deal of tolerance and understanding, often a reliable shoulder to lean on and a good friend to talk to. She doesn't care to mince words however and while her criticisms may be harsh to some degree, she's not afraid to say what she believes. She cares deeply for everyone she meets no matter how rude, crazy or shy they may be, and in that way she is much like any other Pony - with a bit of a minty zing. Normally pleasant to be around Penny has moments where she wears herself out, her hair becoming increasingly curled and frazzled and her nerves just as crazy. Her attitude changes from that of a laid-back, relaxed pony to a fidgety, jumpy and easily excitable mare with a temper to match. The occasional manic, wild-eyed breakdown doesn't last long, however, and she's back to her normal, calm self after a candy or two...or ten.
Bio: Pennyroyal is not a native to Ponyville, though she's been living there so long she claims she can't remember where she came from originally. She does, however, remember quite a bit of her childhood.
Her parents ran a restaurant and as was expected, Penny developed an interest in cooking and was taught enough recipes growing up to set off on her own and open a tiny little cafe on the fringes of town. While her cooking was quite good, she found herself stressed and lacking that special 'something' in her dishes.
Until she discovered the wondrous joy of mint. Mint, as far as she was concerned, could do everything from calming nerves to making children smile and Penny was completely bewildered as to why her parents hadn't used this miracle flavor in everything. So she began putting it in everything she made - and suspiciously, interest in her cooking all but stopped completely. Distraught and without a single customer to her name, Pennyroyal hung her chef's hat on the stand and closed shop for the last time.
She spent many years at home studying mint in every form - the oils, the plants, the candies...especially the candies. Eventually she realized that mint was best as a candy, clearly, and that was where her calling would lead her. Her days of soufflés and sautés long gone, Penny made sweet after sweet and toffee after taffy, from lemon sours to strawberry gummies - but peppermints were still her favorite.
(Just a quick doodle of mine, forgive the messiness!)

Awesome character! I really like her! I can't wait to see her on the board soon!
Also, that doodle, is amazing! Some serious talent there! (and love how her hair reminds me of mint-flavored toothpaste!)
