"If you wanna do this the hard way, then don't be surprised when you get your sorry rump beat!"
Nickname(s): Snap, Sparks, Green Dragon
Gender: Female
Species: Pegasus
Special Talent: Gardening, Flight, Manipulation
Current Residence: Alvesta

Personality/Background:
    Competitive, confident and cunning, Snapdragon is a skilled flier and smooth talker who's not afraid to use manipulation to get her way. She loves to show off and loves to win even more. But beneath her explosive personality, she's pretty much just a huge blowhard, and a very sore loser. Though she can be self-absorbed, she is very dedicated to the things she loves, even to the point of being obsessive. She loves her friends, but secretly, she enjoys besting them, especially Neo. Her show off-y confidence actually masks many hidden insecurities. She claims to not have a care in the world for how she looks and often mocks ponies that do, but she's actually very insecure about her appearance and makes sure she never has a single feather or hair out of place. She puts so much gel in her mane that it would probably shatter if you hit it with a bat. She also spends much of her time training and working out, as her goal is to be the strongest and fastest mare she knows. Even if she reached her goal, she'd still continue to train, as she never seems content with where she is. She may not be the nicest mare, but she is very loyal to her friends, and would be lost without them.

Relationships:
    Snapdragon gets along well with her family, but they are all very calm and quiet, so she finds it hard to connect with them. Deep down, this saddens her.
    She is very good friends with Neo. Since most of Alvesta's population is made up of hippies, she enjoys spending time with somepony who's more like herself. The two often spend time trying to beat each other in competition.
    She gets along with Tank okay, and they seem to have similar enough interests. But honestly, she finds him a little too gross for her tastes and prefers to spend time with the other half of stupidity, Bantam. They enjoy flying together and are pretty good companions for one another.
    Snap has quite the rivalry with Serenity and loves to tease the unicorn. Although she finds her kinda frou-frou sometimes, secretly, she enjoys her company. But nopony knows that and nopony ever will.
    While she likes to be around crass, competitive folks like herself, she actually really likes hanging out with gold farmer Goldley. He has a very gentle, quiet way about him that calms her and makes her happy, and somehow her family (or any of Alvesta, for that matter) lack that. Plus he gives her free food, which she loves.

Other:

 - Her wings are very large and strong

 - She will never admit this, but she secretly enjoys gardening. She loves to grow all kinds of pretty flowers

 - She likes to braid manes. Once again, she is very ashamed of this fact and is reluctant to tell anypony

 - She doesn't know how to handle a crush, and is just out of tune with her emotions in general. Under that fiery exterior beats the heart of a huge idiot
