Liz had asked me if our favorite nerd x bruiser duo would be interested in raising another kid, and if so, she and Sunset would hook them up. Little Candy Stripe, like Sweet Pepper before him, was a foundling rescued by Starlight and the Changelings. He is a unicorn, but his horn was torn off during birth. He is therefore a unicorn without magic, but Mommy Twist is an earth pony without super strength, so this family will make it work! Candy is a short little guy, but he aspired to the athleticism of Mama Babs and big sister Pepper, so for a unicorn he’s pretty buff. Bigger than his muscles is his huge heart, and his talent is caring for the elderly. Powerful flier Pepper, meanwhile, was a draft pick for the Hooflyn Wonderbolts, but she turned it down to go into law enforcement instead. She ultimately accepts her dream job as a forest ranger in Ponyville (perhaps coincidentally nearby the home of her beloved Bee).
Not sure why either Pepper or Candy was abandoned by their respective birth parents in the first place, but I sure hope it had nothing to do with small-minded pony vanity. Furthermore regarding Candy, I don’t think I doubled up on the exact colors of anyone’s OCs, but if I did, I apologize. There are only so many color combinations in this world.
