### Personality

Crescent Cuddle is very happy, cheerful, and optimistic, and is warm and caring towards everycreature. However, she isn't hyperactive and doesn't piss creatures off like Pinkie Pie, Bubblebath, and Gumball. She is very optimistic and very good with little foals - so much so that she often foalsits/creaturesits for exhausted parents when not in school. However, she can be a perfectionist at times who believes she has to be perfect and is sometimes too trusting for her own good (such as when she refused to believe that Cozy Glow was evil despite her friends' protests and gladly foalsat her while thinking her evil plans were just her playing pretend.)

### Relationships

* **Mr. Whooves**: Crescent Cuddle admires her history teacher (though she doesn't have a crush on him or anything like that) and he is her favorite out of her teachers since he takes the class on time-travel field trips with his WABAC to learn about history in-person.
* **Cozy Glow**: Crescent Cuddle initially thinks Cozy Glow is just a sweet little foal. Even after she reveals her evil plans, Crescent still denies that she is truly evil and thinks that her evil gloating is just her playing pretend and gladly foalsits her despite her friends' warnings, only to have to eventually face reality when she drains Starlight Glimmer's magic and teams up with Tirek and Chrysalis. In "School Raze - Part 2," her denial is shown when after the other Guardians find out she is the one behind Equestria's magic disappearing and tell Crescent via text message, (since she and the other teenage ponies didn't get captured in Tartarus since they were in class at the time), she interferes with her friends' plans to bring her to justice despite her classmates' protests and helps her escape before the others become furious and force her to stop deluding herself.

### Etynology

* Her name "Crescent Cuddle" refers to her talent of foalsitting and her power to make enemies drowsy. In-universe, her mother named her this due to a moon-patterned blanket she sewed for her before she was born.

## History

### Pre-Series

Crescent Cuddle's parents were divorced before she was born, so she has never met her father and is raised by her single mother.

The summer before starting high school, she was trying to find a part-time job to earn some bits over summer and pass the time, but none of them were open to teenage ponies and were all only for adult ponies. Frustrated, she decided to go back home when she noticed a unicorn couple walking by, desperately trying to calm down their foal to no avail. Crescent was concerned and learned that they were so stressed from being new parents that they had no time for themselves at all. She offered to lend them a hoof and foalsit him for them to give his parents a much-needed break. While reluctant at first, they agreed and she foalsat him for a few hours. Later that day, when they came to pick him up, the couple was impressed at her talent and requested she do it again next week. Crescent gleefully accepted and then earned her Cutie Mark, much to her happiness.

## Magical Abilities

In her Guardian of Harmony form, Crescent Cuddle posesses enhanced physical abilities such as speed, strength, agility, invulnerability to physical damage, and the ability to fly.

While she does not have combat power, she does have the ability to predict enemy attacks, has the Dimensional Scream ability, and have communicate with, receive messages from, and have direct conversations with the Magic of Friendship and the Light of Hope. Untransfkrmed after becoming an Alicorn, she has sleep-based magic and can use her magic to help others get to sleep easier (which is a huge help when foalsitting) and can instantly create things like blankets and pillows. Her passive magic also allows her, in a night's sleep, to completely heal any nasty injuries or wounds she got untransformed.

## Guardian of Harmony

Crescent Cuddle is the Guardian of Sleep; she is a Normal Elemental who represents the Elemental of Happiness. Her theme color is silver, and she doesn't have a weapon due to being a support fighter.

## Trivia

* She is primarily based on the G3 Earth pony Moondancer, but her Cutie Mark resembles that of Bright Night, a G3 baby pony.
* Although her father has never been seen or named in the series, Fuzzy Blanket mentions that Crescent Cuddle takes after him and got her silver coat and eye color from him while she got her blonde mane and also her eye color from her mother (as her mother has red eyes and Crescent has purple eyes, which implies that her father has blue eyes). It is also confirmed that he is an Earth pony, while Fuzzy Blanket is a unicorn.
	+ As a result, she is one of the few characters in the series to be the child of an interracial or interspecies marriage, along with Scootaloo (who also has an Earth pony father) and counting the Cake twins who have Earth pony parents but are a pegasush and unicorn.
* She was originally planned to be a unicorn, but it was changed to an Earth pony due to their already being numerous unicorns with nighttime-related names. Even after she becomes one-third unicorn permanently like the rest of the main cast, her moon-themed Cutie Mark represents her talent for foalsitting and being very friendly to younger foals (and her sleep-based powers) instead of having her talent be magic like Twilight, Starry Night, Sunset Shimmer, Northern Lights, Trixie, Starswirl, and Starlight Glimmer who all have said nighttime-naming pattern.
