Personality:

He is very much a son of Pinkie Pie, he has her endless energy and expertise for throwing parties and celebrations, just not so much her ability to defy logic, he can sometimes but not always.

He is very friendly and like his mom, wants to be friends with everyone he meets, even if his efforts drive newcomers away with his over the top personality and hidden pranks at first. He really just wants to make ponies smile and happy, which it's hard not to around him, wether it be genuine appreciation for his antics, being amused by his efforts, or smirking at his stupidity, there is something for everypony in his ways.

Unlike his twin brother and his parents, he is not one for jokes or verbal comedy of any kind. He actually despises them and will avoid them at all costs, mostly because can't always understand what they mean, often feeling like their riddles he can't solve.

He is more for physical comedy, such as pranks and tricks. He leaves pranks everywhere, though most tend to blow up in his face, but sometimes they do work out. When they do go as planned, though Pinkie and Cheese always get a kick and a laugh out of them, S'more is not so easy to amuse. Strawberry is very creative with these plots, always finding new ways to prank his friends and family and making sure they are all having a good time, he bends that last bit with his brother, as he loves to annoy him.

He's not a morning person, often sleeping in. He likes to take naps, wear comfy hoodies, reserve himself to the calm of his headphones, and prioritizes and values comfort and happiness above all else.

He is very stubborn, can sometimes be grumpy, and can come off as annoying and childish when he's angry. He gets very loud, stomps his hooves, covers his ears, and when his anger is too immesurable, even completely shut himself down, become unresponsive, refusing or unable to communicate, and when this happens he can only be roused by gentle reassurance from someone close to him.

These displays can often make others slightly uncomfortale, but Strawberry really doesn't realize he's like this or that he has this negative affect until it's pointed out to him. He's easily embarrassed by his behaviors and sometimes has days where he gets down on himself and wonders why he's like this — he knows 'why', just not why it has to be 'him' specifically with the neurological difference.

He really doesn't intend to cause any disturbance, he strives to be as pleasant as possible, but either his energy and giddy nature or stubborn grumpiness makes it sort of hard to maintain. Nonetheless those who understand him, like his friends and family, love him for who he is, as do a lot of others, and they don't blame him for things he can't always control.

Relationships:

Pinkie Pie: Strawberry has always been extremely close to his mother, who just adores both her sons so much she can't help but smother them with affection, especially in front of others. Sundae definitely appreciates these smothering gestures more than S'more, despite the fact he's usually not one for much physically affection compared to his brother. It can be fluster him too when others are there, but deep down both colts just love their mothers affection and Strawberry can tolerate a little embarrassment.

Cheese Sandwich: He is also really close with Cheese Sandwich, he's fun like Pinkie, and Strawberry appreciates that he takes after him more in appearance. Sometimes his father will help him with his pranks, encourageing him to keep at it and helping him set the trap. He also allows him first pick of the gags sent from his factory to aid him in his tricks. They as a duo are an unstoppable force.

Toasted Marshmallow S'more: He and S'more are best buds and he loves his brother very much, but that doesn't stop them from getting at eachother's throats. Sunny will drop endless pranks and tricks on his head and Toasty will annoy him with his jokes. Sundae really gets fired up and loud, while Toast usually shows his anger with his expressions and huffiness, but past their classic sibling rivalry, they do love each other immensely and often express their affection when they arn't bickering.

Pastel Prismarine: He has a huge crush on Prism and looks up to her immensely, despite her obvious issues. He admires her bravery, rough and tumble nature, and strength, seeing her as awe-inspiring. He realizes that most of her brawn is used to cause harm, but he is also confident that she can push past it and become a better pony.

Scarlet Rosebud: Being born on the same day as her, and being playmates with her their entire lives, out of all their friends, Sunny is closest with Rosie, he finds her kind, brave, and a true friend, and the two banter and understand each other and are supportive forces to each other. She has sort of taken him under her wing and is more than happy to teach him when he comes over to learn how to bake better.

Diamond Crest: Sundae finds Diamond as an interesting character and wants to be better friends, which he tries to achieve by doing what comes naturally to him: pranks! But it seems she's always scared by them and he struggles to find a medium between too mild but not severe. He has made her smile by some of his antics though, and they've had moments of understanding and shared humor.

Honeycrisp: He finds Honeycrisp to be mean and a bit of a buzzkill, despite his attempts to cheer the angry stallion, they never work and he has no idea why. But he feels he is getting through to him somehow, as Crisp doesn't insult him anymore, he just doesn't know what it is he's doing right yet.

Prince Meteor Star: A prince huh? Well he's never met him but if he were to you'd probably see the darker side of Strawberry, trying to make himself respectable and acting like someone he isn't to make a good impression, because he doesn't realize that Meteor could care less if he doesn't exactly fit the image of worshipping subject, actually the prince would rather he not.

Extra:

• Strawberry Sundae has Autism, a milder case than most you might know, but he's definitely on the spectrum.

• His bandana is his comfort object, but Toasted Marshmallow is his comfort person.

• Things that commonly overwhelm him are, flashing lights/fireworks, overwhelming smells, yelling or loud noise directed towards him, things not going to plan, being cold, things he can't understand but feels he's expected to know, and others messing with him, while some of his common stims include hoof tapping/clapping/stomping, wagging/lashing his tail, humming, b l e p s, wildly flicking ears, excited tippy-tappys, tugging on his bandana etc. Some days are better or worse than others.

• Though he loves to be the prankster, it's not actually part his special talent. He just sees it as an extension of his expertise when, in fact, it really isn't. But hey, the guy's happy, and if anything pranks are a fun, sometimes exasperating, hobby and special interest for him.

• Sunny claims he dislikes animals, but will reluctantly go crazy over cute baby animals, or small ones in general. He even has been caught actually petting (GASP) S'more's pomeranian, Creampuff. Sometimes he'll even fall fast asleep either with Creampuff curled up beside him or coming to cuddle afterward, and the family all coo at the scene and poke mild fun at him when he wakes.

• He's not good at baking or cooking, like at all. He always burns it, and the few times his food looks edible, it either doesn't taste great or somehow manages to give anyone eating it food poisoning - ask Marshmallow, he knows first hoof. A certain draconequus-pony with mad culinary skills is currently teaching him in the hopes of making him a better chef, but the chances of him ever getting to her level or even Marshmallow's, are low.
