Bio: BriarHeart is the oldest of three foals born to Apple Jack and Troubleshoes (He has two younger sisters, Clementine and Sycamora) He was also their most reckless and rock headed, and it almost cost him his life. He snuck out at night to go play in a big mud puddle behind the barn after a storm, it was late however and Timber Wolves were out looking for a quick meal near the farm, unlucky for Briarheart they happened to see him and attacked, thankfully uncle Bigmac was coming home late from a night out with some friends from town and happened to hear the commotion, he intervened, violently, and sent the wolves running, but Briar sustained some pretty deep cuts over his body, scarring him. It made others wary of him both old and young and those that weren't avoiding him were actively teasing him. Eventually it got out what happened and the teasing stopped, some apologized for it, others pretended nothing happened but it left Briar feeling like he couldn't really trust anyone or fit in with others. His teenage years were a bit better, he made friends with a few ponies and at least found he could trust some folks but still found it hard to let others in. His sister Clementine often brought around Heavenly- one of her best friends, for literally anything from breakup comfort sessions to taste testing sessions of her newest jams and such and one conversation or another got her thinking it best to set Briar up with her friend if not just for funsies, had them meet up in a pretty patch of sun and grass outside the orchards with a picnic dinner at sunset and it took off from there, Briar and Heavenly are still together and doing well though like most in relationships they have their struggles also.
