Erica

Erica is a gentle earth pony who lives in the forest near [Village] along with her nephew Sweet Pear. She took Sweet Pear in after his mother (Erica’s sister) passed away from an illness. Erica works as a healer for the village ponies or anyone else who comes by, and with her medical and magical knowledge she is able to help Sweet Pear better manage his condition. 

Erica is also assisting a pegasus named Cedric with his own condition: an enchantment that causes plants to grow wherever his hooves touch. She’s helping him gain more control over the enchantment in exchange for him growing some of the plants she needs for her work.
