Profile


A unicorn beekeeper with an enormous heart, Honeybloom wants to be friends with everyone!

Personality
Honeybloom is a kindhearted, gentle, and easygoing pony. She likes to see everyone smile and get along, and naturally hates conflict. She’s got a big heart and lots of empathy. At times she is very naive and childish, which often gets her in trouble, as she is all too eager to trust anyone she meets. But this naivety is also her greatest strength, as she is capable of seeing the good in everyone and everything, even when others can’t. Despite this, she is immediately mistrusting of other beekeepers and doesn't get along with them at all.

She's very scatterbrained and sometimes has trouble remembering things as a result, unless it happens to involve bees or honey. She adores bees and loves to tell others about how great bees and honey are. She's prone to buzzing when she's excited or happy, and occasionally peppers her speech with little buzzes. It's something she's done since she was little, and she doesn't do it consciously. She is very proud of her beekeeping skills and the special bond she has  with her bees, and views the methods of other beekeepers as flawed, which is part of why she doesn't get along with them.

Her hobbies include drawing, making costumes, baking, and playing board games. She absolutely adores board games, and will play with anyone who is willing. She isn't particularly good at board games, but has fun all the same.

Honeybloom has a deep affection for the moon, Princess Luna, and even Nightmare Moon. Besides (obviously) collecting bee-themed stuff, she also collects moon-themed objects. This extends to a space theme in general, like stars, but her main focus is the moon.

History
Honeybloom grew up in a two-story cottage on the outskirts of Ponyville (or Fillydelphia depending on the canon). Her mother Tulip Twinkle was a talented florist, while her father Pollenbuzz was an expert apiarist; they named their daughter Honeybloom to symbolize the union of their two passions. One day when she was young, Honeybloom awoke to find that her parents had vanished without a trace. To this day she still doesn’t know what happened to them; she doesn’t know if she has any relatives either, as nobody ever showed up to claim her. Honeybloom was left to fend for herself, which is a tough task for a little pony. Thankfully her father’s bees were still there, and they helped take care of her. Eventually she learned to understand bees and developed her cutie mark. Despite losing her family, she didn’t have a lonely childhood, as she had several friends to rely on and spend time with. Her best friend was a rough-and-tumble pegasus named Cobalt Spark, who was also a self-proclaimed monster hunter. They would often go out looking for monsters to hunt, and of course when you go looking for trouble, trouble is sure to find you, so they had many fun adventures. 

Even though she had her friends and loved them dearly, there was still a loneliness in Honeybloom’s heart that she couldn’t make go away. This loneliness was especially powerful at night, when she was alone in her house all by herself. At times like that she’d gaze up at the moon. The sight of the mare in the moon was comforting to her; it made her feel like she had a friend way up there who was always around when she needed it the most. She knew about the legend of Nightmare Moon, but didn’t find the mare scary at all. Nightmare Night was her favorite holiday, too. When Princess Luna’s exile finally ended and she returned to Equestria, Honeybloom was of course happy for her, but sad to lose the comforting silhouette in the moon. Someday she wants to meet Princess Luna and tell her how much her presence meant to her.

Skills
Being a unicorn pony, Honeybloom has natural telekinetic abilities that allow her to lift and move objects without physically touching them. If she has to lift many objects at once, or a very large object, it requires significantly more effort and usually results in a headache.

As her cutie mark would suggest, Honeybloom's primary talent has to do with bees. She is capable of communicating with bees through a mix of magic, buzzing, and adorable dances. The bees that live at her home know her so well that she doesn't even need to dance to communicate with them; the bond they share is so strong that she's able to retrieve honey from them without ever risking being stung. Her bees live in a mix of natural hives and artificial hives.

Honeybloom is a very creative pony and loves to draw and make costumes out of cardboard, paint, and glue. She's also a talented baker, though almost everything she makes has honey as a primary ingredient. Honey buns are her favorite.
