Personality:
Spunky, enthusiastic, and cheerful Taffy was born with a head full of cottony fluff and heart of gold. Ever since she little, Taffy had the reputation of being the sweetest, friendliest, most kind-hearted filly; always cheering up anypony she saw feeling down, even ponies she didn’t know, and showering all those around her with affectionate hugs and homemade gifts. Best of all, she does it simply out of the desire to help others in any way possible and is more than willing to do anything you ask of her. However, her good intentions don’t always turn out for the best due to her greatest obstacle; a complete lack of coordination skills. You heard me; zip, zero, nada. It’s as if she’s walking on ice all the time, which has her constantly running into stationery (and non-stationary) objects as well as clumsily fumbling anything her hooves touch. Becuase of her sensitive nature, this results in her being a frazzled, panicked mess half the time and she repeatedly stutters out apologies for the least little thing. Despite this daily struggle, Taffy remains optimistic and as determined as ever to spread joy to others.
Taffy is generous and open to quite literally everypony, which can be a good thing at times, but because she also has a child-like innocence and is inherently naive, wearing her heart on her sleeve leaves her vulnerable to those with less than good intentions. Although nothing tragic has happened to her yet, Taffy’s family and friends are worried about her sensitive, caring little heart being crushed to pieces one day. Taffy, meanwhile, has bigger things to worry about, like all fo dragon kind. For a mare so easy going and curious that she would obliviously walk into an Ursa Major’s den if you asked her too, is terrified to her core of most dragons and will only tolerate Spike and few others. No one knows quite what started this, but if you even mention the species, Taffy will have an anxiety attack. Even though this goofy, playful dork is usually unconfrontational, she will stand up to any who pony she sees dare bully or harass a weak and helpless victim. Not with punches or threats, oh no, she uses kindness to kill them, or at least, to confuse them long enough that she can either get them to back off or escape with the victim safely away.
Taffy’s quite a playful pony, and her childlike, flexible nature has her always up for some light-hearted fun. Typically, she is often seen hanging out with her friends and is usually is down for whatever they want to do, especially if it’s outdoors. Spending time in nature is a favorite pastime of Taffy’s, especially when it’s spent flying kites, having picnics, going for walks, camping, swimming on a hot day, and even bird watching ( even though she usually gets so excited when spotting one, that she scares them away.) Taffy also has an impressive and creative imagination, which can turn any boring thing into some seemingly grand adventure. She’s known for being a skilled story-teller who can either make you cry your heart out over some rejected romance or make you cringe in fear with an original terrifying tale that’ll keep you up at night. To Taffy, life is too full of wonderful and amazing things to just stick to one hobby, and she dabbles in everything from makeup to square dancing. But at the end of it all, the thing that most matters to Taffy, is making those around her smile.
Relationships:
Pinkie Pie:
Since both mother and daughter are fun-loving, spontaneous, kind-hearted individuals, their relationship is as easy and smooth as butter. Taffy looks up to her mom as her biggest role model and idolizes her, which isn’t surprising since Pinkie is the one who inspires Taffy’s desire to help others. Pinkie couldn’t be prouder of her little good samaritan daughter and encourages her to push through rainy days and look on the bright side. Taffy often accompanied her mother on her errand rounds, which was a great way to meet new ponies and she remembers those early experiences as what sparked her interest in helping others. Being a big help that she was, Taffy soon earned the title as ‘Itty Bitty Part Helper’ and enjoyed it immensely. When they aren’t stocking party supplies or handing out gifts to others, Pinkie and Taff will do…just about anything with each other. Some of their favorite activities include craft making, baking, puppet shows, and karaoke nights.
Cheese Sandwich:
Taffy is Cheese’s ‘sweet little angel cake’ and undoubtedly one of the kiddoes he gets best along with. She doesn’t mind his silly gags and embarrassing costumes, and even though she’s slow, Cheese can always count on her to laugh at her wacky riddles and jokes. Whenever he comes up with a new clown routine to perform at a party, he runs it by Taffy for an honest review and a chance to make her adorable giggle come out. Occasionally, she’ll even join in as his assistant for his shows, even though she’s messed up several times and is now banned from juggling anything. But more than her spunky spirit and unabashedness at his humor, what Cheese loves most about Taffy is her big heart, as it reminds him of another certain pink coated mare. He adores going to hospitals with her and performs his crazy cannon acts for her audience free of charge. Along with these trips, the two also love playing checkers, visiting animals shelters, and going to festivals together.
