Life in Ponyville: On a Hearth's Warming - characters and other things! · 10:18pm Oct 29th, 2015
Hello everyone! Happy Thursday to ya!
I can't believe October is almost over! I can't believe that my favorite holiday (Thanksgiving) is almost here! I can't believe that my favorite month is just 2 days away!
I can't believe that in 10 days I'll be 18! And in 11 days Angus (my BDFF (Best Dog Friend Forever
)) is gonna be 4!
Time sure does fly.
Now, on to Story Things!
On a Hearth's Warming's release is just a month away. I want to let everyone know that I may not be able to keep that release date. I'm in my church's choir and we have a Christmas show in December that we are practicing a lot for and November is going to be a VERY busy month for me with 3+ hours practices every Sunday night and several days during the week. And November is already a ultra busy month for my family because we are in the dog training/boarding business and we get a lot of dogs in during the holiday season. Last year we almost had 30 dogs over Thanksgiving, plus our own 16!
So because of this, OaHW's November 28th release may be pushed back a day or 3. I'll keep y'all posted.
Since the release date is so far off, I want to introduce you all to the characters (canon and OC) that will be in the book. I'll be doing this over the next few week.
At the end will be a minor excerpt from Chapter 5!
First up, Main 6 shippings!
Sonic Boom (Boomer) will be seen throughout Part 1, Zephyr coming in towards the end of Part 1 and into Part 2 and based on my outline, Twister will be born around the middle of Part 2. Don't let Zephy's small stature fool you, she has more spunk than her mama (if that's possible). As they say, the best things come in small packages! Boomer is a pure Mama's Boy, Zephyr is a Daddy's Girl (though she'll deny it) and Twister doesn't care as long as he's in the middle of attention.
Cameo and Cortland may be twins, but they couldn't be more different. Cortland is outgoing and never runs out of energy. Cammy prefers to stay in the background of things and hates when the attention is on her. Cortland works the farm with her Ma while Cameo stays in the farm house, learning her Granny Smith's best apple recipes. The Twins are seen throughout the story.
Ruby is as precious as the gem she's named after. She is a very kind, caring mare and loves being around other ponies. She models for her mother on occasion, but her passion lies with jewelry making. Though she doesn't have her mother's talent with finding precious gems, she can make the most gorgeous necklaces, rings and bracelets Rarity has ever seen and is always eager to help her daughter find the gems she needs. Ruby doesn't have a very close relationship with her father, as he is often away with business, but she loves him dearly and Fancy Pants would do anything for his little girl.
Now, for Sea and Bolt's daughter: 
In a few day's I'll have Fluttershy, Pinkie and Twilight along with a few other OC characters that will be in OaHW. I hope everyone has a wonderful night and weekend!
~Sea (Chapter 5 excerpt below)
The beast gazed upon his prey as it ate its final meal, oblivious that it was soon to meet its end. He licked his lips and readied his secret weapon.
“Angus, no matter how much you stare at me with your big puppy eyes, you are not getting my lunch!” Sea said.
Angus whimpered and laid his head on his mistress’ lap, gazing up at the pegasus with his most pitiful face.
“Angus…” Sea warned. Angus woofed softly. The two held a staring contest, Angus not backing down one bit.
“UGH! Why do you have to be so darn cute!?” Sea groaned minutes later, lifting her plate of macaroni and cheese and setting it on the floor. Angus woofed and wagged his tail in thanks before quickly eating the pasta.
Mission accomplished.
And looking forward to the fic!
Happy Pre-Birthday wishes, my friend
