#Personality ;
Trickster is, surprisingly, a generally calm young foal. While they can have plenty of energy when playing, they're usually a bit more subdued around adults. They speak sweetly and try to play up their innocence, especially when trouble rolls around. To adults who don't know them, they can seem incredibly trustworthy, when in reality they're one you have to watch closely. They love to play pranks and will take any opportunity to do so.
They're also quite a bit of a risk-taker, and they love adventure. This, also, tends to get them in quite a bit of trouble, but that's not the worst of it. They also enjoy talking their fellow foals into going on adventures with them. To their credit, they'll always do their best to talk everypony out of trouble. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but usually they can get away with an excuse or two. It's during those times that they use their acting abilities to their fullest. Not even during a really good prank will they put them to full use.
The problem with inviting all their friends along on their adventures is that these situations tend to put them in danger, and when somepony gets hurt there is no one to place the blame on but Trickster. For this reason, adults who know them well are very wary of this young foal, no matter how trustworthy they may seem. They also have a habit of telling small lies, and a much bigger issue with exaggerating details.
Besides loving adventure, they are also generally cheerful, and are always willing to try new things. Trickster is sociable and will almost never turn down an invitation to hang out with some of their peers. They're not terribly creative, and could never write their own script, but they can play any character you give them.
#History ;
Trickster was born in Ponyville to a pair of loving ponies. They raised them not to judge ponies based on their appearance, and taught them to accept themselves and others as they are. They taught their foal about several types of gender identities, and that they should always respect a pony's preferred pronouns. Trickster was raised in an attentive household, though they were often chastised for their antics.
Around the same time they came to identify as agender, their mother became pregnant with a second foal. She gave birth to a healthy young colt later that year, and both she and Trickster's father became very busy, both with the new foal and their jobs. At this point, they were an older foal and understood that their parents couldn't pay attention to him all the time. Though they sometimes envied the time the baby got to spend with their parents, they knew their parents still loved them.
After some time, they came to realize that now that their parents weren't hovering over their shoulder, they could pull so many pranks! It was after this point that their acting skills began to develop, as well, allowing them to escape trouble with the other adults. Trickster now essentially has free reign within Ponyville, so long as they completes their chores at home.

#How did you find us? ; The URL was written on a scroll that I found in a bottle in a chest full of treasure in a shipwreck at the bottom of the ocean.
#Sample RP ;Trickster kicked their hooves across the street, glancing around for something to do. They of course had a supply of small and simple pranks in their saddlebags, but there were no suitable targets nearby. Furthermore, they had already spent all of their pocket money, and all the other foals seemed busy at the moment. To put it quite simply, the young earth pony was bored out of their mind.
They looked around again, hoping somepony new had wandered into the area and unwittingly placed themselves in the perfect position for a prank. Of course, it was too big a wish and they were left disappointed. Sighing overdramatically, they decided to step into Sugarcube Corner. It was a nice atmosphere, even if they couldn't buy anything at the moment.
However, the foal failed to look where they were going and ended up bumping into somepony else in the doorway. They quickly slipped into their innocent act, widening their eyes as they gazed at the other pony.
"Gee, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to bump into you..."
