Dusk Shine's Saga Character Profile: Bonbon · 5:51am Jun 29th, 2015
Dear Princess Luna, to help form a better picture of the population of Ponyville, I thought I’d provide you with a selection of profiles based off a random selection of ponies rather than simply one or two at a time. Next, I want to introduce you to Bonbon, a part-time voice actress and the owner of several small homes around Ponyville. She is the landlord to a small number of ponies, including Ponyville’s new music teacher and a former classmate of mine and Shining Armor, Lyra Heartstrings.
Always at your service,
Dusk Shine
Name: Bonbon
Nicknames: Sweetie Drops
Age: 28
Birthday: March 29th
Clan: Earth Mare
Height: 5’8”
Weight: 197
Build: Slightly out of shape, but content.
Hair: Moderate cobalt blue with stripes of very light fuchsia.
Eyes: Moderate arctic blue.
Cutie Mark: Three small pieces of candy on the front of her left shoulder just below her clavicle.
Bust Size: Moderate to ample.
Occupation: Voice actress and Landlord.
Scars or accessories? None known. Occasionally wears hairclips shaped like old fashioned candies in colorful blue and yellow wrappers.
Close relationships: Parents in Canterlot, and an abusive ex-husband in Manehatten.*
Personality: Very outgoing and bubbly, nearly as energetic and warm to people as Pinkie Pie herself. Doesn’t like small jokes and games as much as Pinkie, and instead spends more of her energy working making sure her tenants are well cared for.
Skills and Quirks:
Impersonation – As part of her voicework for films, she has mastered copying other ponies’ voices. She is famous for her role as the voice of Princess Celestia herself in nearly forty different films, the best known of which is ‘Defensive of the Kingdom’, a retelling of her majesty's role in the last war with the changelings nearly three hundred years ago.**
Earth Pony – While she isn’t as strong as Applejack, nor as energetic as Pinkie, I’ve witnessed Bonbon hard at work re-shingling a roof, or carrying heavy loads to assist her tenants.
* - I hear from some quiet voices who need not be named that this stallion is being investigated for ongoing abuse of mares. This sounds like something worth looking into to me.
** - This is a bit of a misnomer, as while the last war with the changelings had been years ago, there were still so many small attacks every few years. Sometimes a very small town might disappear overnight. Foul business, and research into spells to more easily identify changelings is a major task of so many students at Starswirl University.
I didn't see the ex husband part coming, but I totally agree with Bonbon's career as a voice actress.
