#Personality ;A hard worker,passionate,energetic, kind, forgiving,understanding,determined Fiddlesticks is all these things and will try and try again until she succeeds at her goal once she has one in mind. When Fiddles isn't working to achieve something she is dreaming about something. Whether those things are family, friends, her fiddle, her future, or just thinking about watching the clouds roll on by.Fiddlesticks loves to play for ponies,griffons, and any other walk of live. All she needs is her fiddle and bow, the world is her personal stage.
Fiddlesticks is a very kind and affectionate mare putting others troubles ahead of her own she will work her plot off for a stranger and won't give up if a friend requires help. Always looking to make a new friend anywhere, believing everyone has an inner good.She will listen to your problems and try to help anyway she can. Another aspect of Fiddlesticks is that she is very family oriented. From all of the apple family reunions and having such a big family from that side alone family is just very important to Fiddles and she would jump gorges for them.
Fiddlesticks can be a bit of a ditz at times, but that's because she's probably imagining about something that interests her. Also she is still pure in some aspects of her life such as she's never been in a relationship and never has really thought about it all to much. She lives in the here and now. Also don't get on Fiddles bad side.... you don't wanna know what she will do....mainly because she doesn't know either most of the time, her rage is very inconsistent.
#History ;
Fiddlesticks roots start in Fillydelphia, where she lived among a set of row homes. Fiddle was a only child and being such received all of the love and care a little filly could receive from her parents. Ever since she was young she knew a family was something special and that hers was on a different level than most. There were two different families of Apples that lived in the same set of row homes as her alone. Fiddle always had someone to play with and family to love her on the Apple side, but it was different on her moms side of the family. She mostly only saw them on birthdays and major holidays, but when they would visit they would play to most beautiful music Fiddle had ever heart at the time. It would feel like Fiddle would be in a trance when listening to them play. However, Fiddles didn't like how they wouldn't feel the same about the ways the Apples played their music of choice, one style had grace and serenity while the other was hoof thumping hoedown music. Fiddles didn't understand why both sides didn't seem to respect each other style of play.
For as long as Fiddles could remember he dad was always playing this old fiddle of his. It never really interested why he played it so much, but he loved to listen to the music that it produced, Fiddlesticks first steps were her trying to dance along to her pa's fiddle playin. However, her mother though it would be better that when Fiddlesticks could hold a bow and violin that she would learn to play classical music and keep this Fiddling around as an inside thing and that's how it started for Fiddlesticks. She would take classes in classical music's downtown in Fillydelphia and at night play with her dad and pick up a few new tricks of the trade. However, her teacher saw promising signs in Fiddlesticks for her ability to play the violin and that caused Fiddlesticks to have to attend classes later and study more. That also lead to less time playing with her dad and other family members. However she didn't want to let her Ma down so she continued to practice, but for Fiddlesticks she was getting depressed. She felt like she did when she would see both sides of her family playing different styles of music as if there was only one right way to play. Only problem is Fiddles didn't want to choose between styles, she wanted to learn to play both, with the raspy style of a fiddle and the soothing style of the classical violin. However once again her mom stepped in, saying that Fiddlesticks would go farther in life as a violinist, that this must be her talent because she is so good at it and at the recital she would realize it since it was such an important event for the school seeing as princess celestia would be generous enough to attended as well. Fiddlesticks even had a solo portion of the recital that would let every pony know what she was capable of. Fiddlesticks conflicted agrees with her Ma, but her Pa knows otherwise and that while Fiddles was saying she was fine to her mom that inside she was stressing out.
The night before the recital Fiddles Pa had a serious talk with Fiddlesticks about these conflicting feelings she had and that no matter what she chose to do or whatever her special talent was even if it wasn't with the violin like Fiddles ma wanted that the both of them would be proud of Fiddlesticks and just so she would have a piece of the other side of the music she loved so much her Pa gave her his fiddle which he played every night for Fiddlesticks since she was a foal. Now not only did have a piece of the more raspy side of violin, but a piece of her family and more importantly her Pa. He had tuned the fiddle so it matched that of what she needed to play tonight. after all a fiddle is a violin and a violin is a fiddle, nothing different between the two other than a bit of tuning, posture, and a name. Fiddle remembered that even on stage, her parents watching front row, teacher watching from the back in the shadows, fellow classmates around her ready to play, and the princess of Equestria in a special seat, her guards seated on both sides next to her.
The music started to play, such a soothing sound, it was as if you were being whisked away by each note to a land of dreams. Then fiddles had a realization of what her mother said, that every pony would see what Fiddles is made of during that solo so Fiddles changed the tuning right before her solo and when it came up stood up and started to play a mixture of fiddle play and classical violin. The crowd and her classmates all silent when she stopped play. She thought she blew it, but then she heard a pair of clapping. She looked out and it was her parents, and then she heard more and it was her cousins, aunts, and uncles from both sides of the family. Then others started to clap and her classmates. Her eyes lit up, she was overfilled with joy and at that moment realized that both could exists together and she got her cutie mark.
After that show Fiddles continued learning both styles of play, but still loved to play the fiddle more than anything. She would wind up playing at reunions, carnivals, parties and such. She also goes traveling often to see how family is doing and participating in holiday events.The Roleplayer's Corner

#Sample RP ;Fiddles was sitting outside the barn after a hard day of helping family out because that's what family does for one another. She found a barrel and hopes up onto it setting her fiddle of the side. She took a sigh of relief and then looked out towards the wide open sky, eyes focused on the orange sunset right in front of her. Her mane swaying in the breeze she finds a piece of wheat stuck in her hat and puts it in her mouth.
"Really was a lovely day and a good day of hard work. Got to help family and enjoy this day....such a good day" closed her eyes the feel the breeze was over her, holding onto her hat so it wouldn't fly off. She opened her eyes only to see the entire crop she had just helped plant. The Amber waves of grain swaying out past the new field she just help out with. There were apple trees lining both sides of the fields. It was as serene as she thought it would be and after a hard day of work, seeing your progress just felt so gratifying. Fiddles took a deep breath of fresh air and reaches down for her fiddle and starts playing a soothing melody to cap off this perfect day.
