🌟Starfruit Bliss🌟

About

Starfruit Bliss is a pegasus that resides in Cloudsdale. She often keeps to herself and daydreams more than she creates. While she’s a bit timid, she enjoys pony-watching and learning about the personalities of everyone around her. Her antisocial tendencies aren’t because of her dislike for ponyfolk, but quite the opposite! She’s a bit too empathetic for her own good. Absorbing the feelings of other ponies is exhausting, this trait has also wrapped her up in situations where she’s been taken advantage of.

Although Starfruit is a pegasus, she is part earth pony (evident from her worker horse-like hooves) which makes flying a bit more difficult for her. She loves being up in the sky though, so she’s often caught resting on a cloud, if said cloud hasn’t already been claimed by Rainbow Dash. Starfruit has been working to improve her reclusive nature by working part-time at Sugarcube Corner, volunteering at Fluttershy’s animal sanctuary, and attending art classes at the local Uni-versity. She has made friends that she feels comfortable joking with and sharing her creations with, which is a big deal for her! Starfruit is very close with her partner Wintersoft Willow, and her dear friends Seastar Splash and Autumn Shine. She occasionally keeps in touch with her old friends Seafoam, Teal Seed, Pepper Skies and Paper Lily now and again, even if they have all parted ways.

Once you get to know Starfruit, her sense of humor may be a bit of a surprise! She has always been a silly filly by nature, this is how she’s made friends the easiest while growing up. She loves the art of comedy, Cheese Sandwich is a big inspiration to her! Behind her shyness and goofiness, Starfruit hides the things she thinks other ponies will see as weird or embarrassing. She loves collecting stuffed animals, picture books, toys, and objects that remind her of her fillyhood. She sometimes finds herself ashamed of her love for nostalgia and feeling innocent and adorable, she worries that she’s not mature enough for her age. Of course though, her friends are supportive and even share a love of these things too! Starfruit has to remind herself that she doesn’t think her friends’ hobbies and interests are weird, why would her good friends think that about her?

Starfruit got her cutie mark at a young age, while the memories of the exact situation are very fuzzy, she can recall the exact feeling of euphoria she got in that moment! She knows that it was when she had been admiring all of her creations neatly collected into one bunch... Or was it when she excitedly gushed about her art to a loved one? Maybe it appeared during the process of one of her favorite paintings? Well whatever the case, the shooting star shone on her flank during a time of intense inspiration and wonder, she was too distracted to see that it got there until much later! A huge contributor to Starfruit’s love for foal-ish collectibles and memories is that she wants to remember how she got her cutie mark, and she wants to be the starry-eyed young filly she used to be. Somewhere around her teen years, that spark began to fizzle out as she worried how ponies would perceive her. She tried dulling the colors of her mane, and even her cutie mark so that she wouldn’t stick out of a crowd. She stopped herself from being loud or annoying in favor of being easy to get along with. She didn’t want to shine brightly over her peers either, so she even suppressed her creativity and love for learning.

Luckily, as Starfruit grew, she realized that she wasn’t herself anymore at this point! Although it’s been a slow build, she’s becoming more patient with herself and wants to let her true colors shine! With the help of her pony friends and her own confidence, she’ll keep chasing her own shining star 🌟
