Alright, from the top...
Writing and revamping everything I've written about Cheery so far and putting it into one post because I'm not satisfied with the current way I'm portraying her, let's go!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Meet Cherry "Cheery" Pit!
A silly part-time clown who resides in Ponyville after searching all around Equestria for a place to make her mark. Cherry Pit idolized Pinkie Pie when she was a little filly, and as Cheery the Clown, she’ll do everything in her power to follow her hero’s footsteps and spread cheer to all! But… will comparisons and preferences to and for Pinkie Pie get in the way of this clown’s fun?
More about her below, images included because I really love this character I whipped up!
Spoiler Alert: she's kind of insane
Goes by Cherry Pit casually and Cheery when working as a clown
Cutie mark is literally a 🎉
Loves anything explosive or bright meant for entertainment and small fun, including party poppers, sparklers, firecrackers, ETC
Her house is a fire hazard, as seen by her room covered in sparklers on a carpet floor
Slight pyromaniac
Voice claim is Pomni from The Amazing Digital Circus
This clown's a LESBIAN!
Idolizes Pinkie Pie, but constant comparisons slowly make her dislike Pinkie overtime
Extremely spiteful and holds grudges, but this usually goes unseen
At some point, Cherry Pit has to get a job at Sugarcube Corner because her circus clown services aren’t working out and she needs the money. She’s extremely inexperienced when it comes to baking, and comparisons to Pinkie Pie don’t stop as she struggles. Pinkie stands up for her, but Cherry still lets it get to her head
She's kinda scary when she's mad ngl
Very Happy Fella from Spooky Month coded; Growing bitter and aggressive the longer she goes without being able to fulfill her needs and slowly giving up her happy go-lucky persona the more times someone angers her
Rest of family is still WIP, but her mom’s Mango Pit and she has a younger brother who still lives with both parents while Cherry moved away
Convinced herself to focus entirely on entertainment and performing arts after constantly being pushed down and criticized by other ponies
Despite this, Cherry has shown interests and enjoyment of baking, music, and art, but she shoved those interests aside
Has heard of Cheese Sandwich, but doesn’t mind him as much as her issues with Pinkie. Has never actually met Cheese either
Probably a nightcore/breakcore fan but doesn’t let anyone know it
Extremely competitive, can lead to reckless and dangerous decisions
Really likes rock candy, also definitely a fan of Nerds Clusters
Rairty doesn’t like her and also banned her from her boutique because she’s a walking fire hazard (Remember; She’s a bit of a pyromaniac)
Twilight and Pinkie want to help her out, but Cherry’s kind of hard to reason with especially when she’s angry
Ever since Cherry Pit was a filly, she knew she wanted to make people's days and stand out. She didn't exactly know what to do, that is, until she went to one of Pinkie's parties. It was then and there Cherry realized her calling; Making people smile. Cherry loved Ponyville, and surely it could use more sources of entertainment and laughter, right? Sure, Pinkie was the party planner and thrower, but she’s just one pony! There’s enough room for two in this town, right?

Cherry Pit as a filly and her mother, Mango Pit!
…Okay, can I tell you a secret?
Not many people like Cheery. Her jokes and acts are mediocre at best, and more people simply prefer Pinkie, who’s a lot more zanier and unpredictable. Why would you prefer a clown who’s decent at their job when you can have the best of the best?
Cherry Pit idolized Pinkie Pie, even if she’s constantly outshined by her. It’s not like Pinkie wants to overshadow her or anything after all, and Cheery knows that. But… constantly getting compared to Pinkie and deemed worse than her is… definitely making her second-guess that idolization.
Tumblr media
A clown in distress is not a very funny clown.
Now, Cherry’s tried to move around and perform in other parts of Equestria like the Crystal Empire or Manehattan, but surprise surprise, Pinkie’s hit all those areas before she has. While her services are welcome and she can still do her job, it’s once again accompanied by comparisons and questions about Pinkie Pie, usually behind her back. And when it’s not Pinkie Pie, it’s some other guy with a rubber chicken claiming to be the “super duper party pony”, whoever that is…
But it's not like this will shake up Cherry Pit too much, right? Surely she can find a way to figure things out and-
Tumblr media
Everything is not fine.
Oh, nevermind. Cherry Pit wasn't able to figure things out after all.
So, Cherry kind of... has a meltdown. And she becomes quite cross about not being able to do the thing she got a Cutie Mark for. It really gets to her head, to a point where she resorts to some... interesting measures. As in; she tries to sabotage Pinkie's parties and terrifies the guests. Like, she'll crash parties and try to steal all the spotlight or do something so insane that she'll out-perform Pinkie's wackiness and have all eyes on her, even if it can get other ponies hurt. Either that, or if she sees a pony experiencing the slightest of sadness or negativity, she'll barge in and try to make them "feel better", which usually leads to said pony getting absolutely terrified of this manic clown appearing out of nowhere screaming at them and running away. It's a lot like when Twilight freaked out and tried to solve friendship problems that barely existed in Lesson Zero, if not exactly like that.
Any form of attention and fame at this point is all she cares about. It doesn't matter to her what type, even infamy. Any type of admiration or applause for her talents without being compared to or undermined by other ponies is enough for her.
...But, I'm still sure Twilight or someone else could help her. Somehow... Some way... Friendship conquers all, right?
Tumblr media
Someone's really left her mane unkept!
I honestly really love how Cherry here turned out, and designing all the different looks and testing different expressions is so fun! I wonder if I could ever use Cheery in more public Pony Town experiences and in more social things with other ponies... You never know!
