Biography
Appearance description
Peaches grew up in Hollow Shades, a forest near Fillydelphia and Manehattan). Living with her father and mother, a bat pony plague doctor and a witch earth pony, she often spent her days cooking up potions with her mom or running around the forest. She was homeschooled, learning potion making and witchcraft from her mother (and of course the basics like reading and writing). Till the age of 2 her grandma helped her too, a unicorn and presumably the one Peaches' unicorn genes came from. The old mare then unfortunately passed away from old age, leaving her mother to do most of the schooling while her dad was out working most of the time. Staying in her mothers workshop, Peaches quickly learned the basics of potion brewing and witchcraft. She then met Cookie, a barn owl/ginger cat hybrid that she discovered near a river one day. After about a week of Peaches visiting and getting used to each other the creature decided to follow her to her home, and he never really left. From then on he delivered the family's mail, became the resident couch potato, and helped Peaches with her everyday things. They are able to communicate, with Cookie using chirps in different pitches and tones and his body language, while Peaches just slowly talks Equestrian.
Life was good, with Peaches and her mom staying home and practicing while her dad was out for his job. Unfortunately, a few days after Peaches had turned 7, a potion accident occurred in her mom's workshop. She passed away almost instantly, and Peaches still has a scar from the incident that she always covers up. From then on Peaches has been teaching herself, learning how to grow plants and studying library books. It wasn't until a few years later that she was ready to touch her mothers documents and open up a world of witchcraft and unique potions to her.
She moved out at 18, because although she loved her father dearly, their relationship had become a bit.. rocky over the years. Together with Cookie she started making and selling potions and its ingredients from home, using her magic to quickly grow plants she needed for her potions.
When she was made aware of SSSfGU's existence by a customer at the age of 19, Peaches started saving up and getting ready. Once she got there at 21 she realized how being home-schooled and living away from cities had impacted her social skills. She had a rough time picking up social ques, making friends, and starting conversations. It's still a sensitive topic for her, and she'll freak out a bit when she thinks she's done something wrong.
Still, the year at Starswirls helped her improve a lot. She discovered more about who she is and wants to be, became more brave, thoughtful, and understanding, and even made a few friends.
Once back home from her first semester she dug up her mothers documents and got more into witchcraft and advanced potion making; even a spellbook her mom had, teaching her about practical and even a few defensive and offensive spells; something she knew would come in handy after she saw all the things that happened last semester. She's now prepped and ready for her second semester.
Peaches is always bubbly and enthusiastic, ready to help her friends and cheer them up. She's still a closed book to strangers, but with ponies she trusts she sometimes clings to or vents to a lot, looking towards them for help when she gets anxious. Though a little reckless, Peaches always tries to do what's best for everyone and make everypony happy.
She can also hold grudges, and become rather competitive or annoyed towards others, sometimes to the point of making snappy remarks. Often sompony will have to distract her and calm her down. Above all, Peaches is still as childish and bubbly as last semester, ready to learn and do what's right.

Additional Information
-Though some argue Peaches would be better off in the Celestial house due to her kindness and loyalty, Peaches feels right at home at Solar. She isn't afraid to back away from ghosts, even befriending them, and likes to jump straight into adventures, and even puts herself in harm's way to help her friends.
- She has a pet named Cookie, a barn owl-ginger cat hybrid.
- She now routinely carries two small healing potions with her, able to soothe small wounds or heal lethal ones just slightly. (For example; a cut across the abdomen. The potion will stop the bleeding for just a bit, buying the victim time, but they will still need medical care within minutes or the wound will be fatal. Stabs in the heart or throat, things that will be fatal in just a second, are not curable with these potions.)
She also carries a stunning potion, the liquid evaporating and turning into a mist once the glass is smashed that can make people around the potion dizzy. The mist lingers for about a minute, while the daze effect is only there for a few seconds. Its not powerful enough to knock anyone out, but it can still buy her and others around her time in case they come across an enemy. (This only works on pony-like creatures or slightly bigger ones like timber-wolves, though the effect will be less. Creatures like Ursa Minors are too big to be affected.)
- Peaches' emerald is still enchanted and she's still trying to communicate with her dead mother through the crystal; but no luck so far.
Abilities
Herbology- Peaches is, like last year, skilled in plant growth and basic magic like levitation.
Potions- Her skills in potion brewing have also improved, being able to brew them quickly and efficiently, while sometimes even improving the effectiveness. This only stands with basic or slightly advanced potions, while advanced ones are still a bit of a struggle.
