**Obsidian Minkie Pie**, mostly known as **Minkie Pie**, is a female earth pony and one of the bakers of The Muffins Saga. She is Pinkie Pie's eldest sister who was locked up and hidden away in her family's cellar for 20 years before being saved in adulthood by her younger sisters Inkie and Blinkie Pie.

## Appearance:

Minkie Pie is an earth pony with midnight blue mane and tail which almost reach the ground. Her mane hangs over one side of her face, completely hiding one of her sunken-in, dull green eyes, which are surrounded by dark shadows. Her coat is a darker grey with a blue tinge to it. Her cutie mark is a black lock.

## Personality:

Minkie is unnerving to most as she's hard to read and rarely raises her timid voice. She can be quite bashful in public, having trust issues with others. She feels fully comfortable only during baking where she has complete control over her surroundings. Due to being imprisoned for most of her life, she is easily impressed by things and enjoys learning new information. However, she can sometimes fall into long periods of apathy, where she is overtly pessimistic about everything and needs to be comforted by others. She often sees the world as a very dark and shallow place and thus lives out her anger and sadness on her victims. The only ponies she cares for and who seem to keep her sane are her baker family. In "The New Elements of Harmony," she is proclaimed by Pinkie to be the Element of Liberation for fighting for her life even when she saw the world's darkest colours.

## Biography

### Backstory

 Minkie was born to Cloudy Quartz and Igneous Rock and grew up as the only daughter in a very religious and strict household. From a young age, Minkie displayed strange behavior with tendencies to say disturbing things or act violently. When she got mad at her parents, she told them she wished they would die, and would be often seen outside mutilating trees with sharp rocks. On one occasion, she accidentally cut herself with a rock, and when her mother came to help her, she kicked her away and continued mutilating herself with the same rock because the feeling satisfied her. Her parents didn't seem to know how to handle a troubled foal like her, so they became afraid and avoidant of her. Cloudy started believing Minkie was evil, and the parents wished to get rid of her. However, Minkie didn't understand her parents' reactions nor how her actions were wrong. When her parents began being distant, and she started hearing them discussing her, she felt disheartened.

The final straw came when Minkie was around eight years old and her younger sister Inkie was born. Upon learning of it, Minkie was eager to meet the filly, but her parents forbade her from getting close to the newborn because they were afraid of Minkie harming the foal. However, Minkie didn't listen and sneaked into the foal's room once her parents were busy. Cloudy discovered Minkie playing with Inkie and became terrified. She slapped Minkie and ordered her to go to her room. During dinner, Minkie was drugged and locked into the family's cellar. When Cloudy finally visited her, she expressed deep resentment towards Minkie because of the bad omens she experienced during the pregnancy and Minkie's overall sinful behavior. Not wanting to go to hell for killing their daughter, the parents decided to keep her locked up in the cellar, where she couldn't hurt anypony and where she would perish on her own terms. Minkie became enraged at the revelation and tried to attack her mother. She failed miserably and was left alone.

During imprisonment, Minkie was only supplied with small quantities of food that her mother would bring every few days or once a week. Igneous never visited her. Minkie wanted to kill Cloudy and break free, but she never had the strength to do any actual harm. Next to being forced to eat small animals that found their way into the cellar, Minkie also had to endure heavy floodings caused by rain. She began to hate everything and everyone. After a year of imprisonment, she gave up trying to escape and earned her cutie mark, which represented her mind being locked away. She remained imprisoned for 20 more years, accompanied only by her feelings of hatred and pain.

 Roughly 20 years later, the cellar was discovered by Minkie's younger sisters Inkie and Blinkie Pie. Upon being rescued, Minkie told them her story and was quickly taken in by them. They kept Minkie a secret from their parents and slowly nurtured her back to health in a nearby cave, where they also taught Minkie to bake, which she became more than enthusiastic about. After two weeks of healing, Minkie was ready to reunite with her parents. The trio kidnapped Cloudy Quartz and Igneous Rock from their home and tortured them to death. Having baked new batch of cupcakes out of their parents, the Pie sisters decided to reunite with their youngest sister Pinkie Pie in Ponyville.

## Relationships:

The two share hardships, but is seen as Derpy a good influence on Minkie because she has a brighter outlook on life and helps Minkie realize that things aren't so bad as long as you have friends. In return, Minkie has become very attached to Derpy as if she was her sister.
