Yes! I made a zebra! She’s Zecora’s daughter, and her name is Zelena! Why is she so tall? Well, I always thought that Zecora should be taller than most ponies, because, well, she’s not a pony. She’s a zebra. Who’s the father? No clue. I’m thinking another zebra. Maybe it’s never brought up, like Applejack’s parents, or Fluttershy’s. Although! I did hear a rumor that an episode is planned where we meet Fluttershy’s brother! How cool would that be? Ehem. Sorry, I got a bit off track.
Zelena is less of a witch doctor type like her mother and more of an herbalist. She has a shop in Ponyville where she sells remedies. She and her mother disagree on a few things, like the effectiveness of different herbs, the effectiveness of a placebo effect, and the fact that while Zecora likes to hang on to the traditions of her homeland, Zelena likes to take a more modern approach to things, which is why she has a shop in the middle of town as opposed to living in the forest like her mother. Despite their disagreements, Zelena respects her mother and the traditions of her homeland, and the back room of her shop is even decorated like her mother’s hut, while the front of the shop is more modern. Also, she doesn’t rhyme. I thought about it, but I’m a lazy person. So deal with it.
Oh! One more thing! Her cutie mark (which, like her mother’s, is the same color as her stripes)! I looked up African symbols and found a page full of them, and guess what this one means? Harmony! Isn’t that just perfect?
Zelena = Me.
