Sandstone Pie
 
“Did you guys hear about the latest Brachiogiraffidon that was found in Zebrica? They say its one of the most complete skeletons yet. After conducting some research, I’ve theorized that Zebrica used to be connected to South Trottingham, that’s where the subspecies comes into play…”

Bio:
 
Sandra Stonephia Daisy Pie, usually known as Sandy is the second-oldest of the five Pie cousins, born only a few months after Azurite. And from her very first wail as she entered the world, it was quite plain to see that she had inherited both parents’ unmatchable attitudes. Sandstone is snarky, sarcastic, and is never without a quick remark - especially if it illustrates her extensive knowledge on fossils or major archaeological findings (seriously. She would bring up the excavation of the newly discovered Crymorphodon in the Crystal Empire. She knew one of the paleontologists working on the project, a very well known professor of course, he didn’t even say no to bringing me to the dig site…). She holds her head high in confidence - well, when her nose isn’t buried in the dirt trying to find the slightest trace of hardened limestone layers along the vast acres of the rock farm on which she lives and assists her parents. While she is far more content to help her mother in the fields, keeping her eye out for her next paleontological find (and of course using the classic Pie strength to rotate the rocks from one field of the next), she does enjoy helping Quibble in his office, acting as his secretary as he works diligently to finish his next best-selling novel (after all, Igneous and Cloudy were wanting to take another vacation to Hawhinny). Sandstone does enjoy writing after a long day at work. Its not exactly fanfiction, but it does involve her and a Velcitalsaurus that can talk and go on cool adventures. Not that she’d ever let anypony see that, not at all. Despite her sometimes off-putting demeanor, Sandstone is a common sight among Ponyville, and she does enjoy hanging with her Aunt Pinkie and cousins (Connie, C.C., Zuri, and Forge) at Sugarcube Corner. She especially likes it when her close friend River Rock visits and helps her on her excavations. And no, she doesn’t write about him either!!!

Bio: Born to two of the sweetest, most benevolent ponies to possibly ever exist, Iron Igneous Forge Clyde-Pie is simply no different, despite his slightly intimidating name. Forge is the youngest Pie cousin by a few weeks (she and Trouble Shoes have slight suspicions that Pinkie got just a little bit jealous that her twin was the first to get a boyfriend and pregnant, so she decided to jump on the bandwagon) but is probably the most mature (alongside Zuri of course). He is the true definition of a gentle giant - an incredibly tall, heavy-hoofed, and timbre-voiced grey mountain of stallion. He doesn’t quite stand as tall as his dad, and has the more slender build of his dear mother, but Iron Forge still stands out in a crowd, and often stands above, too. However, his voice is deep, reassuring, and gentle. His violet eyes and kind and welcoming, and never turns away a pony in need. Forge stands as Ponyville’s top farrier/blacksmith after his mentor, Ember Glow, retired. Forge keeps his, well, forge, on the edge of the rock farm so it doesn’t disturb the farming work around him. He does participate in rotating the rocks as often as he can, but most of his time is dedicated to running his farrier business (his solid contribution to the farm, in which his grandparents are quite fine with. It’d be nice if they told him they were proud or something at some point, but its okay. Really.). Despite having hooves as large as a colt’s face, Iron Forge is incredibly gentle and focused in his work, and is well-known for his talents. His shoes are always made with obvious dedication, and even adorn the hooves of Princess Twilight Sparkle. However, Forge is quite smart like the rest of the Pies. He’s been designing a new kind of shoe, one that doesn’t have to be nailed in, but can be easily swapped out as a pony grows using a weird kind of fabric his friend Tom introduced him to. He’s keeping it a secret from everypony…except his close friend (crush), fellow farmer Chrysanthemum.

This one is exempt from my poll. I PROMISE you guys RKOH is coming, I’m just trying to wait until I have the first chapter of ‘Apples to Ashes’ so there’s not such a long wait between chapters. I don’t want it to end up being like HotD where you guys are waiting months for some new content (though I am feeling far better than I was when I wrote HotD.
 
 
But because I do have pieces coming involving these two lovely beans, I wanted to introduce the final two Pie cousins. Both Sandstone and Iron Forge live on the rock farm with their parents and maternal grandparents as one big happy family. Both kids contribute to the rock farm in their respective ways, and don’t face near the skepticism that Quibble and Trouble Shoes did when proposing new ways to help support the farm (Quibble with his writing, Trouble Shoes with his rodeo tours).
 
 
And I am sorry about the wait between bios. I have eighteen more nextgen characters to introduce so its a lot to put together. But don’t worry, the universe won’t be overwhelmed with too many stories to follow. Most of these guys will be background or secondary characters (for example, Turnback is going to make appearances similar to Mama Derpy).  
Any comment you leave sincerely makes my day. It helps me know my work is liked and appreciated.
