Bio:
It was a warm sunny day on Shore Side Beach. The warmth of the day had brought many, all out in the sand and water enjoying the summer sun. There were several games of volleyball going on, parents sun tanning While their foals build sandcastles or dug holes nearby. Above the shore sat a little shack, ran by a couple of ice cream makers, both busy with a flood of customers looking for a sweet treat to cool down with. It was just an average day for them and it seemed like it continue to be so… until a blood curdling scream turned everyone’s attention to the beach.Having dealt with shark attacks before, the two shop owners quickly moved to the shores edge to find not a shark but two ponies intertwined on the beach side. One was a young mare, who had been the one shrieking, this apparent by the tears in her eyes and her frantic gasps for breath as she tried desperately to crawl away from the other pony whose mane was wrapped all around the sobbing mare’s body. Strangely enough the attacker seemed to be completely unconscious as her body just rested there while her entangled mane was constricting, wiggling around, constantly moving.
As the two came closer to the scene they soon realized that it was not in fact hair tangled up around the puffy eyed mare, but long tentacles whose suckers had quite a firm grip on their poor victim. It took about three full grown stallions to free the tentacles from the mare, who was quick to crawl away, assumingly deciding never to visit the beach again. Meanwhile, the shop owners were left with the unconscious washed up tentacle pony, a creature they’d never seen before. After giving the still outreaching limbs a beach ball to squeeze, it was suggested by some onlookers to push the creature back to sea which was where it was assumed she came from. The kind ice cream makers couldn’t bring themselves to do such a thing and instead carried her back to the shop, plopping her in their oversized kitchen sink, and turned on the water… waiting for her to awaken.
Some hours later she did wake up, wide eyed and confused. The shop keepers kept their distance, asking questions like ‘what are you?’ and ‘do you have a name?’ all of which the tentacle pony could not answer and she began to cry. Eventually the two softened to the creature, consoling her and agreeing she could stay until she remembered where she needed to be. This of course lasted much longer than expected… She began working around the shop, helping with customers and becoming somewhat of a store mascot; customers began calling her Tenta Cream, a name that eventually stuck… She earned her cutie mark, finding her talent was exactly the same as the shop keepers...
Personality:
Tenta Cream is at heart kind and compassionate but sometimes finds it hard understanding her emotions and the
urges she gets. She understands right from wrong, but tends to have a very difficult time behaving. In relation she’s very self-conscious about her tentacles since they tend to have a mind of their own, she gets fidgety and nervous when alone with others, and will shamefully keep her distance from those she knows are uncomfortable around her.
Cream feels the need to help the needy, even if they really aren’t that needy at all. She’ll try and find problems to help fix, hoping it will bring acceptance from others. She’s sensitive, and easy to bruise emotionally. She takes judgment and critique to heart, but finds it easy to forgive even though she’ll still hold onto the things that hurt her. It isn’t hard to persuade her, she’s gullible and a complete shmuk for anyone who shows her kindness so she’s easily taken advantage of.
It’s difficult to make Cream angry, usually any anger she has is washed out with sadness. But of course her tentacles are a completely different story as they tend to react accordingly to her true emotions at times. They don’t hesitate to protect or act out as Cream would not usually. It is also not hard to turn it around and make her happy again. She enjoys the simple things and a silly joke or anything else pleasing to her can make her smile again.
