Description[]
Starberry Patch is a light pink earth pony with a dark pink and dark red striped mane. Her cutie mark is a starberry. She has freckles on her cheeks. She lives in Horseshoe Bay with her family, which consists of her two parents, her older sister, and her younger sister. She helps her parents run the family restaurant, called The Cucumber Patch, which grows all of its ingredients. Starberry is often called "Star" by her friends.
Starberry is often cheerful in her demeanor and sometimes very gullible and naive. She tries to look on the bright side of life. She's not really a pony who likes a big party and actually prefers close time with a few ponies, like her family or close friends. She's sometimes quite clumsy. Her sister will often drag her along on ghost hunting adventures, though she often doesn't appreciate it. Occasionally, she is really sarcastic.
She's afraid of bats, though not her older sister's pet bat, Toffee. Toffee, however, is a very loving bat that shows affection to Starberry in her own way. Starberry is afraid of most bugs.
When Starberry sleeps, she wears footie pajamas. She likes to collect seashells.
During harvest, she has to work all night under starlight alone, so the weird sleep schedule makes her loopy and she can act quite strange during this time. However, when it's not harvest time, she behaves normally.
Starberry is very close with her younger sister, Cherry Belle, and they play together a lot.
During winter, she spends most of her time with her grandmother, because the restaurant shuts down during winter so she spends time with her family and friends. She occasionally goes to Ponyville during the summer too, but as a vacation for only a day or two.
History[]
Starberry Patch grew up in a small village near the sea, called Horseshoe Bay, with her family until she was very small. When she was a filly, they moved to Ponyville to open the family restaurant. While she was living in Ponyville, she gained her cutie mark. However, the constant attacks from powerful forces, such as Nightmare Moon and Discord, proved to be too much and so her parents moved back to Horseshoe Bay. Starberry was sad to go, since she had to leave her friends in Ponyville, but she vowed to keep in touch. After that, they moved to Horseshoe Bay, set up the restaurant, and have lived there ever since. Starberry sometimes visits the seaside village and catches up with her friends there. When she goes, she stays with her grandmother, Nanna Sugarcane, or aunt, Milk'n'Honey, and cousin, Tea Sprout. She and Tea Sprout play together all the time and have grown up together. They would play at the beach all the time when they were fillies. Milk'n'Honey is her aunt on her mother's side, as is Nanna Sugarcane.
Starberry's friends from Horseshoe Bay are Sea Salt, Poppy Puffs, Minty Crunch, Sunnyside Up, Sugar Lace, and Cranberry Buttons. Her foalsitter is named Coral Rose.
Starberries[]
Starberries are a rare red fruit that grows in Equestria. They resemble strawberries in shape and color but are different. For instance, starberries do not contain their seeds on the outside. Instead, they are at the core of the fruit. Starberries have a smooth, glossy skin, similar to that of a tomato, and grow larger than the average strawberry. They have green leaves that have five points and their flowers have five teardrop-shaped petals with a red center. Starberries can only be harvested by starlight after a spring or summer shower. Under starlight, the berries glow and are a delicious treat for bats. During the day, the starberries look very different. They are dark brown, very hard, and resemble acorns. They are almost impossible to eat and, when they are, they cause indigestion. However, if harvested under starlight when they are ripe, they maintain their red color and juicyness. If they are not harvested quickly, they lose their flavor. Starberries are sweet and tart at the same time, almost like lemonade.

She wears a red hankerchief around her neck. Clementine is often called "Clem" by her friends. Clementine is playful. Clem has no siblings. She is very loving and has a warm personality. She is a hopeless romantic at heart, but is often a little pushy and has a bit of tunnel vision in her attempts at match-making.

When Starberry first began baking desserts made of rare starberries, Lemon saw her as competition. When an attempt to sabotage her went wrong, Starberry was quick to forgive and shake hooves. After that, Lemon saw she was a friendly pony who baked for the love of it rather than the business end of it. Lemon still loved to bake, but she did so without the competition factor... at least in regards to Starberry. Lemon is still competitive at times, and hates to lose. Lemon is loyal, but a scaredy-cat. She doesn't venture anywhere near the Everfree Forest. She also likes a good laugh.

Her cutie mark is a ball of pasta colored yarn with two knitting needles through it and a splatter of spaghetti sauce. She loves to knit for her friends and has a very warm and giving personality, sometimes to the point that she doesn't see that her gifts to her friends are unwanted, especially after the 15th sweater. She spins her own yarn from her flock of Electric Sheep, who are super fluffy from the static electricity they produce and come in a variety of colors. She has a precious stuffed moose named Sammie.

Earning her Cutie Mark[]
Shortly after moving to Ponyville, Starberry began to yearn for her cutie mark. She knew she had a talent for
baking and attempted to bake many pot pies and veggie and cheese pies. These were not popular at all and she was very disheartened. One night, she was looking out her window when she saw a shooting star. She wished with all her might that she would soon understand who she was and what her cutie mark would be. The star landed not far away and Starberry thought that, if she captured the star that she wished on, her wish would come true. Instead, she found the star in the middle of a meadow of wild starberries. The starberries were glowing ferociously on the vine, since the star was so close to them. Immediately, Starberry picked the berries and made several pies with them the next day. They were a hit! She was so happy that everyone was pleased with them that she didn't even notice that her cutie mark had appeared! From then on out, she planted her own private garden of starberries and made starberry desserts for her family's restaurant.
