Bio:
 
Born to two of the sweetest, most benevolent ponies to possibly ever exist, Iron Igneous Forge Clyde-Pie is simply no different, despite his slightly intimidating name. Forge is the youngest Pie cousin by a few weeks (Marble Pie and Trouble Shoes have slight suspicions that Pinkie got just a little bit jealous that her twin was the first to get a boyfriend and pregnant, so she decided to jump on the bandwagon) but is probably the most mature (alongside Zuri of course). He is the true definition of a gentle giant - an incredibly tall, heavy-hoofed, and timbre-voiced grey mountain of stallion. He doesn’t quite stand as tall as his dad, and has the more slender build of his dear mother, but Iron Forge still stands out in a crowd, and often stands above, too. However, his voice is deep, reassuring, and gentle. His violet eyes and kind and welcoming, and never turns away a pony in need. Forge stands as Ponyville’s top farrier/blacksmith after his mentor, Ember Glow, retired.
 
 
Forge keeps his, well, forge, on the edge of the rock farm so it doesn’t disturb the farming work around him. He does participate in rotating the rocks as often as he can, but most of his time is dedicated to running his farrier business (his solid contribution to the farm, in which his grandparents are quite fine with. It’d be nice if they told him they were proud or something at some point, but its okay. Really.). Despite having hooves as large as a colt’s face, Iron Forge is incredibly gentle and focused in his work, and is well-known for his talents. His shoes are always made with obvious dedication, and even adorn the hooves of Princess Twilight Sparkle. However, Forge is quite smart like the rest of the Pies. He’s been designing a new kind of shoe, one that doesn’t have to be nailed in, but can be easily swapped out as a pony grows using a weird kind of fabric his friend Tom introduced him to. He’s keeping it a secret from everypony…except his close friend (crush), fellow farmer Chrysanthemum.
