This Booster set will focus on the Cutie-Mark-Crusaders of this story. (Many pics shown here will likely be replaced when my main artist can do such a massive workload) ~~~~ - Dazzle Rich/Diamond Tiara - (Picture to be replaced) The daughter of a hard working business pony named Filthy Rich, his name somewhat ironic as their family only just gets by. This has led to much strife as the Rich family has been being bled dry by Apple Inc. who ever year seems to ask for more money in licensing to let Rich sell heir cider and various juice's, as 80% of the juice and jam market in the region is controlled by them. This has led to Mr.Rich working as hard as he can and sadly spending less time with his lonely daughter, this is due to his wife's passing some years ago from an illness. All of this has led to poor diamond being in the rough, a withdrawn and emotional child she sometimes lash's out at others to hide her pain and frustration. The most frustrating thing though is her lack of a cutie mark, which has led to her being teased constantly by Apple family heir Apple Blossom and her brutish cousin Babs Orange, who rule the roost at the grade school. Dazzle feeling intimidated and alone decided to make a club for other blank flanks: The Cutie Mark Crusaders. Inviting several other kids whose lack of marks is troubling them, which has led to her meeting three others forming the group. Due to her mother being dead and her father not being around much she is very lonely, however her fathers garment dealer Suri Polomare often brought along her apprentice: Coco Pommel to several business meetings, the young teen pony meeting little Dazzle and learning how lonely she was. Coco could relate as she lacked a mother and was rather shy growing up too, she explained how a mare named Charity Kindheart was like a mother to her and got her into fashion and acting. Coco then offering to be Dazzle's big sister to which the little filly happily agreed. In fact it was Coco's gift of a small silver tiara with rhinestones to Dazzle that gave her the nickname Diamond Tiara, ever since the two have been inseparable with Coco foalsitting Diamond constantly and spending much time together. As such Coco is often stuck looking after the entire CMC when they do things as a group. Diamond is 11, her hobbies are: playing dress up, being read stories, working for the school paper, and going on adventures with her friends. Her special talent is yet to be achieved. ~~~~ Masquerade Lulamoon A shy, quiet kid, unlike his older sister he assists with her stage show, but never accepted any credit because of his attitude. He met CMC founder Diamond Tiara when he saw her standing up to Apple Blossom at the bratty heiress's Cutecenera. He kept to himself but was very kind, after Diamond walked off seeking to be alone Masq came to her, putting a blanket on her and saying that she had made the party mean something by standing up to the bullies who made every colt and filly miserable about their marks. The colt saying that she was not alone and he would join her crusade standing by her and whoever else would join them. Like his sister he is skilled at close up illusions and also a master of disguise, indeed very talented for his age despite his humble attitude. He is oftentimes a crybaby and coward, looking to the other CMC for back up and reassurance. Diamond has stated sometimes he acts like a charming prince, yet others like the most whiny damsel in distress. Masq is very close to his big sisters who both dote on him, Trixie of course is the one he lives with and as such they are always together. While his eldest sister lives far away they nevertheless get along, in fact she is very protective of him wanting nothing more then to keep him and to a lesser extent Trixie safe. Masq is 12, his hobbies are: costume design, mask making, playing with magic kits, story writing, reading adventure and fantasy books, as well as acting. His special talent is unclear, though Trixie expects it to be showpony based. ~~~ Pina Colada Berry Pina is the youngest of the Berry Bunch sisters, she sadly usually takes on the dual role of younger sister/mother. She may be the most responsible of the group and takes care of all the cooking duties. She has a rarely-seen mischievous streak within her, however, and takes great delight in fooling with her sisters, and is a razor sharp sword of sarcasm to their antics. She is also often the voice of reason and is known to always be assisting her eldest sister in ongoing battle with depression, which stems from the fact she is an Earth Pony with two Pegasus sisters. Pina however does not let this hamper her sisters job as a sommelier, however when her sisters are out wandering, one for cider another for riches Pina is usually stuck working at the family vineyard alone, or working tirelessly to tend to Sunrise's berry patches. Pina joined the CMC when Diamond saw the tired and badly worn out filly half asleep at a lunch break at school, she noticed Pina had no Cutie-Mark and that despite her hard working attitude she had no clue what her special talent was. Diamond figured that such a go getter would be a great pal to have and invited her to the CMC swearing that from now on she could help rely on her and Masq. Pina Colada is 11, her hobbies are collecting scarf's, practicing her flying, goofing off at the bar, puns, doing sarcastic remarks, and jumping rope. Her special talent is also unknown as of yet. ~~~~ Nursery Rhyme- A sweet young Candy Striper/apprentice nurse. She is a very sweet little filly with dreams of being just like Redheart her idol, who saved her when she got very sick. She loves to run about getting medical supplies and helping fillies and colts not feel so anxious at the hospital, often telling stories and singing songs to put them at ease. She dreams of be called a full nurse someday and wonders what her future holds, will she someday even become a doctor? Oh she can sure hope she will after all with enough determination, dedication, and hope anything is possible when you grow up or so she tells herself. She met the CMC members when Diamond Tiara fell down and broke her crown during one of their crazy cutie mark attempts. As Diamond laid in the bed Nursery began to sing gently to her, which made Diamond remember he dear mother. When she awoke and found herself wrapped up in a ton of bandages she soon learned that Nursery had treated her and sang to her while Nurse Redheart inspected her work. Diamond felt an instant attachment to Nursery and offered the filly membership into her club. She is 10, making her the youngest CMC. Her hobbies are: volunteering at the hospital, reading stories to others, singing happy songs, practicing her nursing skills on her toys and friends, and following around the other nurses. ~~~ Silver Spoon (Picture to be replaced) Diamond Tiara's former best friend. The two grew up together and did almost everything together, that however changed when Spoon got her Cutie-Mark. This started a downward slope in their friendship as Spoon made less and less time for Diamond, then stopped hanging out with her all together as she couldn't be seen being pals with a blank flank. This broke Diamond's heart, and Spoon's as well as she just did it to stop getting picked on by Apple-blossom. She deeply regrets her words and actions, yet cannot gather the courage to openly apologize to Diamond. Perhaps someday the two shall reconcile and again become good friends? Silver Spoon is 11, her hobbies are collecting fine cutlery such as decorative spoons, studying foreign etiquette, and organization things(such as her spoon collection.) Her special talent is refined manners, though one would hardly know that by how she acts. ~~~ Kevin D. Donkey A terribly shy and grabby young colt, adopted by a pair of Donkey's that live in ponyville. Despite being married for many years Mathilda and Cranky could not have foals of their own, Mathilda's salvation came when she saw this poor lost child ruffling through her garbage. She did not care what he looked like or what his race was, he needed love and she was freely able to give it. In case none of those reading this figured it out Kevin is actually a Changeling, whose real name is Chitin. During the Changeling civil war, when Thorax and other like minded bugs sought to secede which led to infighting, many Nymph's ran in terror as the green fire engulfed the black hive. Kevin was one such nymph and heard the Queen's death scream at her supposed defeat. As he cleared the badlands he ran right off a cliff and unable to fly that strongly fell and bashed his head badly. He wandered hurt and feeling strange until he grew VERY hungry and sensed love coming from a trash can, a beloved keepsake vase of Mathilda's was accidentally broken beyond repair and had to be thrown away. Kevin desperate for any sort of love sucked the remains dry before being found by the kindly donkey. He remembered what he had been taught and hissed at her, then tried to cast his brainwash spell on her, however before he could she smiled and said come in and warm yourself up. Kevin did not know what to do and just walked in from the cold, this jenny radiated love and compassion, she told him to take her love to make himself stronger and he did, yet could not take it all for something inside told him not too. The next morning he awoke in a warm bed, the Jenny having taken him to a spare room after he slept off his meal. She told him that she wanted a son for her and her husband to love and he needed love to survive and asked if he would now be her son. Kevin touched at such an offer decided to do just that for as a creature of swarm he hated isolation and knew not when he would ever see another changeling. As he stayed now adopting a Pegasi form he began to get interested in reading, finding adventure books like Daring Do, Artemis Fowl, and the Legends of Equestria as impossible to put down. The young changeling soon desiring to someday be an epic adventurer like them and to a lesser degree his brave adopted father Cranky who has a penchant for travelling all around and bringing Kevin souvenirs. Young Kevin does not have many friends, due in part to how afraid he is to reveal his true self to others, however he does love to watch the CMC pull their antics most of all and longs to be their friend. Kevin is 12, his hobbies are shapeshifting, reading adventure books, playing pretend hero, collecting figures of his fav heroes, ponywatching, and collecting exotic trinkets.
