This here is the story of Maud Pie. An earth pony not much different than other earth ponies. In fact, some might say she's a little too much earth and not enough pony, and it's a trait that makes her rather unique. This rather odd description of her comes from the fact that Maud had obscure fascination with..well..earth, or a better term, geology. So much so that if you had brought her to the Princesses' castle in Canterlot, a place many only dream of visiting, she'd be more taken in by the type of stone used in the walls than its art or architecture. But rocks, much like ponies, are not always the same on the inside as there are on the outside. Once you break through the surface you may find it's full of beautiful crystals, or maybe it will just break into pieces. In any case, this pony's name is Maud, and this is her story.
