Inkie Pie

The Basics[/font][/size]
Name:Inkamena Alice Pie
Nickname/Alias: Inkie, Inky
Species: Earth Pony
Gender: Female
Age: 8 (A bit older, but still a filly)
Group: Good Pony
Occupation: Student/Baker’s assistant
Appearance[/font][/size]
Fur/Mane/Tail: Inkie is almost completely greyscale. Her fur is a very light shade of grey, with her mane being a much darker shade of grey. Her mane hangs perfectly straight and to the side slightly, occasionally obscuring one eye. Her tail likewise droops straight and lifelessly.
Clothes/Accessories: None, only a metaphorical raincloud over her head
Cutie Mark: She is a blank flank, and has pretty much accepted the fate that she’ll never get it. However, that won’t stop her from at least trying with a little push
Overview: Aside from her age and mane style, she’s the spitting image of her older sister, gone greyscale. She has a similar build, proportions, and even mannerisms, although Inkie’s are much more dreary, slow and all-around negative.
Personality[/font][/size]
Personality Description: There’s no better way of putting this, but Inkie is almost the exact opposite of her older sister. Where Pinkie sees the glass half full, Inkie sees someone that drank half of her glass. She always sees the worst possible outlook of a situation, and is often one to give up before anything even starts. In her life, Pinkie has been the only person to ever get her to smile, and even then, she’s had to try pretty hard.
Despite the fact that everything about her is negative, she still has this somewhat lovable nature about her. She’s always willing to help, even though she might explain every possible thing that could go wrong while she helps.
However, she does share one major personality trait with her sister, the previous all described her on a normal day. If she gets especially sad, upset, angry or stressed, she’ll have an insecure mental breakdown, often an outrageous stretch of her personality to extremes.
Strengths:
- ”It could always be worse...”
- Acting (A talent she isn’t very aware she has)
- Directing (Goes with acting, though she leans more towards tragedy)
- Farming (Primarily Rocks)
- Sighing, moping, raining on parades, etc.
Weaknesses
- Rarely smiles
- General downer and buzzkill
- Low self-esteem
- Pessimist
- Unaware of/refuses to accept her own talents
Fears:
- Never getting her cutie mark (Isn’t every little filly scared of that?)
- Getting sent back to the Rock farm
- Not measuring up to her older or younger sisters
History[/font]
History: Inkie grew up on the family Rock farm with her two sisters, Pinkie and Blinkie. As the middle child, things were always harder for her. Too young for this, but too old for that. All she’s ever known is working on the rock farm, a dreary sad life with no happiness, no smiles, just work on the farm with the family. Not many people understand how rocks can even be farmed!
Inkie, her sisters, never once smiled in their lives, all they knew was work. That was, until the day Pinkie stayed a bit longer in the fields, and was hit with a rainbow-filled epiphany. That day, she threw a party, and it was the first time Inkie ever smiled. It was the first time she was ever truly happy.
For a while, things were much better. Work on the farm was much easier with Pinkie keeping things lighthearted and happy. Inkie would oftentimes start feeling down after a long day in the fields... but returning to spend time with her sisters, especially Pinkie, made it all worthwhile.
But then the day came that Pinke left for Ponyville, and Inkie smiled for the last time. Any laughter that Pinkie brought was replaced with sobbing from missing her. Inkie was worse than she ever was, going from accepted sadness to depression. Her parents didn’t have much choice, and decided to send her to ponyville, to be with the only pony that could make her smile: her older sister Pinkie Pie.
Roleplay Sample:
“But... But why do I have to go?” Inkie looked up at her parents with tears brimming in her eyes. “Whatever I did, I’m sorry.” The greyscale pony’s lip quivered, clearly on the verge of crying.
“No, no Inkiamena, it’s not like that. We’re just sending you to spend time with your sister is all.” Her mother assured her with a gentle hugging nuzzle.
“Yeah, into Ponyville and away from all of you, why?” Inkie brushed a tear from her eye with the back of her hoof. “I’m sorry, I’ll be nicer to Blinkie”
The two parents looked at each other uneasily, not sure how they’d comfort their daughter especially without outright lying to her. Luckily, the youngest pie daughter stepped in to help. “It’s not like that at all, Inkie. You get to go out on your own and spend time with Pinkie. Remember how much fun you used to have together?”
Inkie sighed and nodded. “Yeah, I do miss her...”
“Then what’re you still doing here?” Blinkie asked with a smile. “Who knows? You may even find your cutie mark!”
Inkie shook her head sadly. “I’ll go... but I’m not keeping my hooves crossed or anything, for my cutie mark or for this being a good idea... But I guess it would be good to see Pinkie again...”
With a sigh, Inkie said her final goodbyes to her family, and stooped her head for the last of her bags. With her head low, the dismal filly started to slowly trudge down the dusty dirt road to Ponyville. Raindrops began to pour all around her, but she didn’t even bother to look up.
The stormcloud above her quickly stopped, and high above Inkie, a pegasus was calling down apologetically. “SORRY! SORRY! I didn’t see you down there, and this one got away from the rest!”
Even if Inkie’s mouth wasn’t occupied with a bag, she wouldn’t have bothered with a response, she was used to this kind of thing happening. After all, it could always be worse, and it almost always got that way...
