Appearance
Marshmallow is minuscule Hippus. Her coat is a mix of orange, blue and brow while her feathers are brown, white and blue. She has a full feathery tail. She is quite thin and lanky. She can usually be seen wearing a cloth over her head to protect herself from the weather whether it is sun or rain.

Nestling-Fledgeling
Marshmallow was born during the war. She would usually follow her parents in their farm work. She was especially stuck to her father’s side as she loved spending time with him.

Sub-adult
She had been to school mostly in order to become a farmer just as her parents had done. She did not feel she needed to but they insisted and so she went.
In the end she did not regret it as she one day stumbled in a class about medicinal herbs and from then on she was hooked. She would attend these as much as she could.

Adult
Despite finishing school on a brilliant note, Marshmallow actually took a few years to find her practice. After dipping her hooves in many things she became a midwife and paediatrician. She realized she would not have children of her own, she had no desire to, but seeing expecting parents so happy? It brought her such joy to help them, to assure that everything would go well with their nestling. 

During her latter years, she sadly had to pause this occupation to work as a feild physician. Hippus numbers were plummeting, and they needed all the help they could get. Like so many of her students and co-workers, Marshmallow wound up in the camps of the wounded on the front lines. If there were to be any new hippus to be born, she and her team would have to keep the ones already born alive first. She tried not to dwell on it, but her new occupation was a much sadder one than being a midwife. Leading avus out of the world wore on the soul far more than leading them into it.

Elder
As much as she loved her work helping others, the end of the war brought an end to her career. She was spent, physically and emotionally. She helped newly graduated students until she found someone to replace her, however she did not enjoy calling it retiring. That implied stopping. She wasn’t just doing nothing, the spare time she had as an elder allowed her to research. Her days as an active practitioner were over, but that didn't mean she was done with medicine. With her newfound spare time, she grew and tested all manner of herbs. How did they act when combined? If she only grew seeds from the most potent of a crop, they grew stronger.
It was still quite tiring but certainly not as harsh as ‘wake up in the middle of the night because eggs are hatching’ tiring. She was content to work at her pace now.
