Cuddles · 2:34am Jan 18th, 2016
Dear Princess Luna, if there is a mare preparing to expand her horizons more than Cuddles, I couldn't name her right now. An aid to the nurses at Ponyville’s expanded hospital, she has been saving up for years, and is now preparing to move to Canterlot to continue her schooling to become a full nurse herself. In many ways, she reminds me of Princess Cadance* when she was younger.
Always at your service,

Skills and Quirks:
Earth Pony Strength – Growing up in Canterlot, and spending so much time in a private school for unicorns, I feel this is important to emphasize. Cuddles is a half foot shorter than I am, yet she is clearly stronger than me, even after nearly a year of physical fitness under Rainbow Dash and Applejack’s supervision. It is humbling, and would probably serve as a good reminder to many unicorns that a little mare like Cuddles is more than strong enough to make up for her lack of a unicorn's magic.
Nurse’s Aid – According to records, she has completed all available courses they can teach here in Ponyville, and her solid grades are more than enough to earn her a spot in Canterlot University.
* - Cuddles impressed me with her casual knowledge of Princess Cadance, and as we got to talk, I could tell she considers the princess a personal hero, an inspiration for her continued education. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who looks up to Cadance.
Cuddles has become one of my favorite OCs in the story as she is sweet, demure, yet kind and determined. I really liked her interaction with Dusk and her admiration of Cadance.
