Cotton Candy

Cotton Candy is the main hero of Season 17. The original casting call states that "Ponies from all over Ponyville come to the Cotton Candy Cafe for tea parties and ice cream. There are festive 'treats' in store everyday, because Cotton Candy cooks up a storm!" She is a big sister figure for many ponies in Bleapuroth, but Pinkie Pie primarily holds a special place in her heart after she and Abra-Ca-Dabra were taken in by her parents. Despite the war between the Forgotten Orchids and the Starhearts, these two still have a very close, unbreakable bond.

Strengths & Weaknesses

 * Sweet Treats: Cotton Candy makes some of the best baked goods in Bleapuroth. Working in the Cotton Candy Cafe with her parents really pays off when trying to hide Pinkie's potions in some pastries.
 * Love Everypony: When anypony falls and scrapes their knee, Cotton Candy is the first one with a lollipop and a bandage. She is one of the most kindhearted ponies in Bleapuroth, and this is a known fact.


 * A nurturing heart is her highest attribute.


 * Blamelessness is her lowest attribute.
