Building Berry
Berry is going to university. What is she majoring in?

Suggestions?

Jennifer.

((Barbara, maybe? Bella? Bell? Beatrice?))

I actually thought of Barbara at one point as well. 

Bella… I can consider. I’ve already been using that in something Gilda related.

Bell or Belle could work. It feels more like Sweetie Belle though.

I do like the name Beatrice a bit.

THERE’S JUST LIKE

SO MANY NAMES

AND 

MUST

PICK

ONLY

ONE 

I need to figure out names.

And I’m blanking. 

I’m looking for possible human names for Berry (and Ruby and Pina)

Berry is just going to be her nickname. Unless people would prefer her to still be named Berry Punch as a human. I just think that it would be odd to meet someone named Berry Punch.

Any good suggestions?

4 votes for Ruby being a sister, 1 vote for daughter.

Thank you for your input, it is in consideration!

But I’ve been thinking more into each situation. 

If she is Ruby’s mother, she could have had ear near the end of, or shortly after high school. It’d most likely prevent her from going to college (assuming she’d even get accepted), and would probably involve her being slightly more dependent on her parents for help with caring for the girl. Given that situation, I’d more or less be roleplaying a young, single mother, most likely with some minimum wage job. She’d still try to maintain her social life, whether or not she’s scolded for it by her parents, or it’s looked down on by a few people. She probably wouldn’t be much of an absolute alcoholic unless I wanted to take a spiraling out of control life take on her, but this is Berry Punch, I want it to be fun.

With Ruby as her sister, she’s probably able to have more of a social life unless something happened to her parents. Her job would probably be similar in either case. This route also gives her more of an opportunity to attend college. Depending on what situation I choose, she could be living alone or possibly rooming with someone in an apartment (allowing me to give a little depth on another character; Colgate?), living in a dorm, or living with her parents while still paying rent. 

GRRR, I like both option, I really do. This may actually be a hard choice for me. It’s leaning slightly more towards Ruby as a sister, but that’s only because the majority of those that voted preferred that.

I can only ask two questions a day. Any input must be in ask, submit, or reblog form. Sorry. 

I think I’ll make her 22, almost 23.

Gilda is 21, almost 22. I figure Dash wouldn’t be much younger/older than that. Berry was at the Party thrown for Gilda by Dash, so they’d probably be relatively close in age. 

I don’t know if this logic is logical but let’s just role with it.

Possible Cousins or Brothers. Either way, they are each others brothers.

This guy. I call him Vino. He was in the cider episode.

And this is Green Grapes/ Sour Grapes/ Golden Grapes.

The second one is also Known as Sir Colton Vines III. 

I’ve never seen the first one before. 

I’d say cousins at MOST. But then again, you’ve seen how little is still known about Gilda so far, what are the odds of someone asking Berry about her cousins?

Dealing with the fillies.

There are two fillies that appear in the show that I have to deal with.

First is Pina Colada, who I am mentioning due to her appearance with Berry in the Sisterhooves Social.

She’ll obviously be a little sister, but I may bring her up again when deciding on names.

Second is the filly commonly referred to as “Ruby Pinch” and “Berry Pinch”.

 She’s usually interpreted to be Berry Punch’s daughter. Obviously, since I’m making Berry still relatively young, that could be an odd situation. While I’m not 100% against the idea of perhaps having Berry have a baby at a young age (because it would add an interesting aspect to roleplay), it also restricts her a little bit.

The alternative would be making Ruby be a younger sister of Berry.

Which do you think she should be? Berry’s daughter or Berry’s sister?

One thing that would really help me at the beginning is determining how old she is.

I’ve decided she’ll be between the ages of 18 and 23. Obviously, a small part this influences is her drinking, as I’m working with the American drinking age of 21. Either way, I’m not making her a total alcoholic (or at least, I haven’t chosen to implement that yet). 

So let’s just put this bluntly: 

IS BERRY ABOVE OR BELOW THE LEGAL DRINKING AGE?
