When Cherry was a little batty, she had a hard time flying because her wings weren't fully grown large enough to get her much lift so, most of the time, she had eaten a muzzle full of dirt. I actually found an mlp base with a pony doing the same pose as a reference.

I was originally looking for a bat pony base to use as a ref. for a ponified Cherry but found this, and I couldn't help myself! All credit goes to the base maker, and the owners of MLP. I just own the character.
