#Powers and Abilities ; Little Strongheart is incredibly fast and agile, especially for a buffalo. Like other buffalo she can run all day and is incredibly good at memorizing large plots of land. She also is quite accepting of others and an okay diplomat.
#Physique ; according to Rainbow Dash she is a bit bulky, but for a buffalo she is quite slim. The majority of her bulk is muscle
#Mane and fur color and style ;
#Eye color ; Black
#Other appearance details (optional) ; She almost always has a band around her head with two eagle feathers in it.
#A more thorough description (optional) ;She’s a bit bulky, but her legs are also thinner than most pony’s. Her mane is extremely curly ,to the point that it’s fluffy, and her ears are quite a bit longer than most ponies. Her tail is also quite a bit different from a pony’s. It is a simple, short fluffy thing.
She also doesn’t seem to have irises but they could just be an extremely dark brown. Unlike most buffalo Little Strongheart isn’t gigantic and doesn’t have any horns, though both of these are probably because she’s a girl, she is still smaller than your average female buffalo
#Personality ;
Little Strongheart is daughter of Chief Thunderhooves and as such has been taught to always keep her cool and try to be understanding, even when her father isn’t. However, as a result, she’s pretty passive when it comes to everyday life. Sure, when she’s trying to get a point across or trying to get something specific done she can be straightforward and undeterred, but otherwise its quite easy to talk over her and even give her orders if you know her and they aren’t something crazy. She’s quite generous to others and more than willing to do anything to help her friends out, especially if they’re in a jam.
She also has a huge amount of respect for others in general. This goes double for those who actually have status and triple the princesses. She always tries to speak Equestrian in a very proper manner. Image and pride is also important to her, though it isn’t so much looking good as it is not giving others a reason to look down upon her. Doing so is a quick way to get on the young buffalo’s bad side which is a place you probably don’t want to be.
When she has formed an opinion on something she can be surprisingly stubborn, if a bit hesitant to voice it at first. She absolutely loves apples and feels a bit indebted to those who helped, or even were involved, in the appleoosa incident. It’s very important to her to make it up to them and help them in any way possible. The same applies to anyone else who helps her out in a significant way. Her biggest problem at the moment is her lack of knowledge about pony culture. How polite she is can be considered a bit odd and she doesn't know anything about some of the more modern things in Equestria, she'd be pretty amazed at even some of the lesser magic spells or a movie theatre.
#History ;
Little Strongheart was born early, weak, frail and wasn’t able to walk within minutes like other buffalo calves. She slept for two entire days after being born, the tribal Medicine Man said that if she kept on the same path she wouldn’t make it through the night. She carried on though, through three weeks she barely did anything other than wake up to eat and then sleep. Chief Thunderhooves and Runs-like-water worried for their daughter immensely until, one night, she began crying loudly. It was that night her parents finally named her, Little Strongheart, for being weak of body and strong of heart.
She was quite a bit smaller than most buffalo, especially the males. In fact, it made her name even more fitting. She didn’t have to deal with any bullying of course. Most buffalo are very friendly anyways and on top of that she was the chief's daughter. However, she could not play with the other buffalo very much. As the calves got older, their difference in size got more and more pronounced. It was even dangerous for her to play some games with them.
That never stopped her though. She loved to play with the other calves. She was much more agile than most of them due to how small she was. She wasn't very good at butting heads though. Her father always seemed to be worried for her but was also quite proud of her for over coming how small she is.
As the calves grew the herd began to separate more and more with the lines being drawn by gender. The males did...well, until recently she didn’t really know what it was they had done. She was always stuck with the females, preparing the fancier bits of dinner. Who knew you could actually make dry grass taste good? Well....she couldn’t, but the other buffalo females could do so pretty well.
She eventually took to the males more than females and that was the end of it. A bit unusual? Sure, especially given her size. She wouldn’t have it any other way though. Of course there was always one thing she didn’t like, they never let her do the yearly stampede with the males. No matter how much she nagged, how much she passive-aggressively pushed the issue, the answer was always no.
Finally she decided to do a bit of a run around...literally. When the stampede started Little Strongheart was nowhere to be found. Usually she was still trying to get her father to let her run. The reason she wasn’t there became obvious the next day when Little Strongheart met up with the stampede, they would have turned back but, luckily for her, there were bigger issues at the time. Actually, a bigger issue. Singular. The annual stampede was interrupted by an apple orchard right in the pass, after some negotiations no solution was reached, though the mane 6 tried to help.
After a short pie fight with...less than devastating aftermath they reached a comprimise. After finishing the stampede Chief Thunderhooves decided to send her back to Appleoosa, and Equestria in general, to learn about the ponies and there ways and eventually act as a sort of ambassador in the future. She is starting her journey from, where else, Appleoosa!The Roleplayer's Corner

#Sample RP ;
"Well, I suppose this should work as a place to start." Strongheart said as she walked through the town of Appleoosa. She hadn't been this far into town since the last stampede, it was a bit odd to be among buildings again. The buffalo all lived in tent like cones. These cones never were as tall as most of these buildings and teh also never had a second story to them. It was a bit daunting to be surrounded by such large objects.
More daunting was the looks she was getting from all the citizens. The majority of them seemed to be looking at her. She supposed they recognized her as the chief's daughter. Strongheart was pretty sure that pleanty of buffalo came through town, now, that she wouldn't get these stares just because she wasn't a pony. It could be because she was such a small buffalo, they probably weren't used to that.
"U-um, excuse me, do you know where I could go to find...um..." Little Strongheart realized how little idea of what she was doing she actually had. "A map would be excellent!"
The pony she was talking to looked her over for a moment and then pointed a hoof towards the saloon "Thank you very much sir!" she said before trotting off, not noticing as the pony rolled his eyes at her.
