## Physical traits and personality

Cloverfield was a cute earth pony mare with light green fur and a darker green mane.

Her personality was marked by an endearing sweetness and a profound capacity for love. She was widely regarded as a mare whose heart overflowed with affection and kindness. Cloverfield's connection with nature was equally noteworthy, as she possessed a deep well of wisdom when it came to the natural world.

## Daily life

Cloverfield's serene routine unfolds against the backdrop of the bucolic landscape she and her husband, Groundrunner, helped establish in their youth. Rising with the sun, she treads the well-worn path to her farmhouse kitchen, where the aroma of breakfast wafts through the air. After a simple morning meal shared with Groundrunner, the couple embarks on their daily farming tasks.

The day is spent cultivating the fertile fields they once helped pioneer, a testament to the enduring legacy of Ponyville. Cloverfield's hooves deftly navigate rows of crops, a dance perfected over years of toil and dedication. Alongside Groundrunner, she tends to the needs of the land, ensuring a bountiful harvest for the community they played a pivotal role in establishing.

The couple's days are marked by shared moments of quiet companionship, reminiscing about the challenges and triumphs of their youth. Every time the sun dips below the horizon, they retire to their cozy farmhouse, where the warmth of a crackling hearth and the memories of Ponyville's founding farmers linger. Cloverfield's days may be quieter now, but her unwavering commitment to the land and the love she shares with Groundrunner remain the cornerstone of a life well-lived.

## Early life

Cloverfield's early life started in Vanhoover. From a young age, she exhibited a positive and wise disposition, traits that would come to define her throughout her life. She was part of a less-than-ideal family situation, marked by unkindness. However, at the age of 15, a twist of fate occurred when the Ground family crossed her path. Among them was Groundrunner, the son who captured Cloverfield's interest. The spark between them ignited through the exchange of heartfelt letters, forging a connection that transcended distance. A year later, fueled by the desire for a new beginning, Cloverfield made the brave decision to leave her parental home behind and set forth on a journey to Ponyville. Her destination was clear—to reunite with Groundrunner and explore the possibilities of a future filled with newfound connections and, perhaps, a love that would bloom in the vibrant landscape of Ponyville. Even though her family felt sad to let her live far from home, they were happy to see her getting married.

## Late life

In the next chapter of her life, Cloverfield's legacy shone brightly as a devoted mother for the wonders of nature and its philosophical wisdom. She poured her boundless love and care into nurturing her shy son, Ground Furrow, and her dynamic daughter Meadow Clover, guiding them with the profound insights she had gained from her deep connection with nature. Her unwavering support and teachings served as a comforting and enlightening presence in her son's life. She was so proud when Meadow Clover went to Baltimare to live in her own farm.

When she saw that Ground Furrow had found Soft Wings as a lover, she was also kind of worried about him and told him to be careful. When Willful Ground came to the world, she was a source of wisdom for him, not like his evil mother Soft Wings. Tragically, Cloverfield's journey came to an end, succumbing to the devastating battle with cancer at the age of 72. Her passing left a void in the heart of Ground Furrow, but her enduring wisdom and the love she had instilled in him continued to inspire and shape the lives of those she had touched.
