Yea! I finally finished this! XD hehe. Oh yea, Spookytale, if his personality seems too much like Treat, please tell me and I’ll get to changing it
(I mean the flirty, get’s along better with girls and good-at-cooking-sweets part… not the bad parts of course XD *hug*)

Name: Bumblesweet (A.K.A Bumble)
--
Age: Early-mid 20’s
--
Type: Earth
--
Body colour: Light honey-gold. All shimmery too XD
--
Hair colour: Orangey-gold with tinsel bits.
--
Symbol: An orange honey pot with a white circle on it with a little pattern thing going around the outside and an orange heart in the inside. It has an orangey-gold honey stick thing above as if it’s being lifted out with honey on it and three bee’s around the outside.
--
Powers: Erm… o.o If I think of something, would it be okay if I tell you another time?
--
Temperament: Bumble is as sweet as honey… or though it seems. He appears playful, fun loving, happy and very flirty on the outside but his insecurity causes his personality behind this fake cover-up, which is sneaky, deceptive, untrusting. Another way to easily explain is that he is two-faced, but then again, no one can really be sure which is his true side. He was always the so-called ‘fake’ personality when he was young, that was til the insecurity and untrusting feelings kicked in (see history). When you meet him though, he appears to be a wonderful, practically good-at-everything guy… but of course, now you know he isn’t.
He can sometimes be found out to be the one behind a disagreement between others as he says things he shouldn’t say (or things he has been told not to say) or he even makes up lies to cover his back, even if the disagreement isn’t concerning him one bit. Though he tries to mend these ways, Bumble isn’t one to be easily trusted, no matter how sweet he or his awfully cheeky smile appear to be.
He doesn’t usually trust others himself though, and is known to easily chicken out of a relationship, even if he does seem interested. He usually makes up stupid lies to cover himself if this happens, but if he finds someone he can trust very easily it may just help to mend all these ways.
He likes to be known and often seeks attention wherever he can. With this being said, he does have a short attention span if the focus isn’t on him (or isn’t a really exciting story XD). He can become extremely serious if that’s what the moment calls for but doesn’t like to be singled out and confronted. He can get jealous too if someone is better at him at something and he will always try to outshine them, without seeming bigheaded.
Deep down, Bumble is very caring and sweet. He just doesn’t know how to bring that real side of him back out into the world.
Oh, also he’s scared of his past coming back to haunt him… he ruined his reputation before coming to Ponyville.

Birthplace: Somewhere in the country XD Yeeha!

History: Bumblesweet was born in the country in a rather large family, consisting of his mother, father an older sister and three older brothers. Bumble was always said to have been given the personality his sister should’ve had, as if they had been mixed up. Bumble was very sweet and enjoyed staying home and doing things with his mother than going out and doing all the dirty ‘stallion’s work’ with his father and siblings, including his sister. The young colt never cared though; he would rather bake a cake then be found all muddy and hot out on their farm. Since he was young, Bumble wanted to be a chef, or a dessert chef if he could. He was never too good at sports either and was teased frequently about this, and for the fact that he hung around (and got along better) with girls more than he did with boys.
Bumblesweet was always good at school too, that is until everything began to go downhill for him. His mother and father split up when he was about 14 and with not being approved of much by his father, Bumble went to live with, and only with, his mother. About a year and a half later, his mother died in a tragic accident. This left the young stallion alone in the world as all relatives that he knew of didn’t like kids very much, and his father had passed away about a year earlier after being diagnosed with a rare and untreatable disease. His sister was the only one that would have given a thought to taking him in out of his four older siblings, but she had committed suicide due to serious depression about a week after their parents had split up. With his brothers being all older than 20, they had long been living on their own. At 16 though, Bumble didn’t feel too sure about taking on the world alone. Finally he faced these fears though and figured he should be independent enough, as he had learnt all he needed to know from his mother.
He decided to drop out of school after year 10, or he figured he wouldn’t have enough money to find an apartment to rent for a few years and to actually be able to live off something but bread and water. He moved to the city, as he never really did like the country much, and rented a reasonable apartment near the center of the town. He decided he needed to get a job too, or all his money would soon be gone, but dropping out of school early diminished his hopes of becoming a chef at some fancy restaurant. When he finally got the inheritance money that his mother left for him, Bumble got an idea to take a chance and set up his own small cake shop in the city. With that thought, he bought a run-down corner store and changed it into a delightful little shop where he sold cakes he made with his own and of course, his mothers recipes.
He became very well known all around the city for his recipes and service so the stallion now decided to open another store, over the other side of the large town. He taught his staff all they needed to know about his recipes and how they should treat the customers. Stuff becoming a chef… he was running his own shops! Bumble felt like everything was working out for him again, he had many friends at the town too, ones he loved dearly, especially his girlfriend Sunshimmer. Bumble and Shimmer were inseparable, and Bumble adored her more than anything in the world. This was until his world began to crumble again. Bumble found out that Shimmer had been cheating on him for two months (they had been seeing each other for half a year now) and he was so devastated that she could do that to him that he broke up the relationship immediately, ordering her to get out of his apartment and never to come back. Bumble didn’t know what to do. Everything was going fine and then it all blew up in his face. This was completely upsetting for the stallion as he loved the mare dearly, but how could he after this had happened?
Bumble tried to convince himself that everything would be fine, but later on in the day he received a call from Shimmer and through all his yelling he was able to be told that Shimmer was pregnant, and tests showed that it was his foal. He didn’t know what in the world had happened. He knew he should stay with her and help her out with the foal when it came (and this is what everyone expected this nice and caring guy to do) but Bumble just couldn’t do it. That night he left town, leaving his apartment and everything (but his treasured items and money) where it was. He’s never gone back now, and this has ruined his kind reputation. After a lot of calls from friends, Bumble decided he wasn’t going back and he told them what to do with all his things. He’s never answered a call from his city friends since.
This is how he had his reputation ruined, and how he came not to trust others. He is too scared now that something like this will happen again that it has caused his insecurity and sneaky attitude. But he knows that one day his past will come back to bite him in the butt.
Now he’s come to Ponyville to live (he may need to crash at the nursery or someones house for a bit lol.) And he’s trying so hard to forget his past, but it will always be with him.

Sample RP (I hope this is good enough... it's set just before he left the city
)
Bumblesweet took the last step up the final flight of stairs with a sigh. He hated climbing up so far to get to his apartment but he was never the one to complain about such things. After all, he really needed this exercise as working with cakes all day only increased his large appetite for them. Bumble fiddled with his keys, searching for the right one. Where he got all these keys from no one knew, he himself didn't know what half of them were for.
As he went to open the door, Bumble fumbled again and dropped the keys, loosing the one he had been searching so long for. "Dangit..." He muttered and he took a step closer towards the apartment next door, where his keys had landed out the front of. As he reached down to retrieve them, the stallion heard faint yelling coming from inside. Standing again, Bumble pressed his ear against the door with a frown. He realised he'd caused this fight between these two friends of his, though he really didn't mean it to happen.
Instantly he backed away and rummaged though his many keys once more. As soon as he got inside he slammed the door and sat down infront of it with his head burried in his hooves. Part of him was happy for this arguement but a large part of him felt guilty, as it had since he'd started causing this earlier on in the day. Since he broke up with Shimmer, that was when he started feeling this insecurity, like he had to ruin things for others so they wouldn't be happier than what he felt at the moment. He figured he'd have to leave town to get away from it all, so it wouldn't bother him constantly, upsetting him every second. So with that he began to pack, not caring about everything he would leave behind in his frantic attempt to escape from everything he once loved so dearly.
