Personality: Thyme is a generally reserved and quiet pony. While normally fairly comfortable with single ponies or small groups, she does not handle crowds well, especially if attention is on her. Thyme is not very quick to make friends, though she's very loyal to those she's close to. Tends to be kind of stubborn. Has low self-esteem.

Bio: Thyme grew up in a small town in northern Equestria, where she lived with her mother. While many of the town's resident's were affluent, Thyme and her mother had little money to spare. Despite their low income, they still did well enough due largely to the support of one of Thyme's mother's friends; an elderly, well-to-do recluse; who rarely associated with the rest of the town's wealthy population. In part because of her status as a "poor" pony; and also because of her quiet nature and smaller size; Thyme was the target for bullying for much of her childhood and into her teens. As a result of this, she grew reserved and withdrawn, and also gained a fear of crowds and physical contact. This was made all the worse when her mother contracted a fatal illness shortly before Thyme's tenth birthday, and died several months later. Thyme was taken in by her mother's friend, and while she no longer wanted for luxuries, she grew even more withdrawn, rarely leaving the house or speaking. Eventually, her unofficially adopted mother decided that nothing good could come from staying in that town. So, with Thyme in her late teens, they moved to Canterlot in the hopes that in the bustling capital of the nation Thyme could get the help she needed.

For several years she remained the quiet, lonely mare; still spending most of her time shut away in the house she shared with her new mother. Little by little she started to grow less afraid of the ponies outside, even starting to visit a local park after her appointments, though she still sought out the more secluded areas. Normally, the other visitors to the park would ignore her, which suited her just fine. One day though, she was approached by another mare, who had seen her sitting alone on multiple occasions. She introduced herself as Jazz, and from that day started joining Thyme there to keep her company. Thyme was nervous about this at first, sure there must be some ulterior motive to the other mare's attempts to get close to her. Jazz was a cheerful pony though, and her friendliness did eventually start to pull Thyme out of her shell. Over time they became close friends, with Jazz encouraging Thyme when she needed it, and for the first time in years Thyme would actually feel happy. It was only a couple, short years after that that the two started a relationship, and Thyme eventually moved out of the house she had shared with her mother and into the small townhouse owned by her marefriend. With Jazz's encouraging and a little financial help from her mother, Thyme opened a small alchemy store. The two of them would eventually started a family, and end up having five children. Several years later, their home would catch fire, and while Jazz and their current children would make it out without significant injury, Thyme would be have her hind legs crushed under debris, and they would later need to be amputated. Thyme went through a lengthy recovery period, during which her family lived in the house owned by her mother. The house would become their permanent home after Thyme had revered enough to return to normal life, and her mother moved out to give the family room. Currently, all but one of their children is fully grown, and two have moved out to be on their own. Thyme still runs her shop in Canterlot, and does a reasonable amount of business.
