The Basics[/font][/size]
Name: Serena
Nickname/Alias: Prefers to go by "Madam Marian"
Species: Earth Pony
Gender: Female
Age: 20
Group: Bad Pony.
Occupation: Traveling Salespony/Con Artist.
Appearance[/font][/size]
Fur/Mane/Tail: Her fur is light blue (almost cyan) and her mane and tail are light orange/yellow.
Clothes/Accessories: Depending on the job, she will wear a variety of different outfits to suit the task and convince others of her legitimacy. When traveling, she carries a brown saddlebag with the initials "MM" stitched on it; usually, she has a small amount of coins, a fresh-picked tulip or two, and the occasional valuable piece she intends on selling to the right buyer.
Cutie Mark: A single yellow tulip.
Overview: Marian is a pretty average pony, which makes it much easier to merge into the crowd. She does, however, posses the ability to gain attention when she allows due to her excited, booming voice. Her eyes are light yellow, and she almost always has a yellow tulip in her arsenal (she uses this as her "signature").
Personality[/font][/size]
Personality Description: Marian is an expert at deception; she knows for a fact that not every pony is interested in a sale right away, and so she works hard to get on that pony's good side, going as far as helping them when they are in need. She will act nice to anyone she comes in contact with, aware that she can hurt them most if they believe a friend had deceived them. Usually, she focuses on large crowds if there is no immediate interest in an individual. If she sees something valuable in someones possession, however, she will target them specifically. Marian is an expert at lying, and it makes her job so much easier when it comes down to convincing ponies that she has nothing but good intentions. At the end of the day she's really only concerned about herself, however. As long as you can give her a good deal, she'll be your strongest ally. Rarely does she align herself with others unless she sees the influential power they have over someone. This usually only happens when and if she can come to an agreement with them. If anyone tries to back out of one of her deals, she has enough blackmail built up to bury them. Marian always does research before she gets involved in case of the possibility of her reputation getting put on the line. It's better to stay off of Marian's enemy list, for once a pony is blacklisted in her mind, they can't do anything to change that fact.

History[/font]
History: Born and raised in Manehattan, Serena was the daughter of the head of the crime syndicate. Needless to say she had a rough foal hood; territory battles occurred daily, and half of the time she was in danger just by stepping outside. While she was growing up, her brother and her mother were eventually taken by the opposing side, leaving Serena as the boss's only remaining legacy. He made sure that she had only the best care from then on, using a good chunk of the money he earned to send her to a fancy school in the better parts of Manehattan. With that education, Serena was given much more opportunity than anyone in her family. While attending school, she met the ponies known only as "The Investors." these ponies hired Serena with hopes of being able to put her smarts and skills to the ultimate test. They have given her many tasks to complete (some for good, some for evil), she has performed exceptionally with each of them.
This didn't last too long, however, and she began to question the Investors. Being so smart (perhaps too smart for their own good), Serena realized how much The Investors were abusing her power, so she found her own way to end their little business. It was around this time that she took on the alias 'Madam Marian' to cover her identity. Since then, Marian has been working on her own accord, willing to do a various amount of jobs for ponies and scamming them out of money. She's discovered many effective techniques to earn money for herself. Her recent investments have been piracy and door-to-door sales.
