(posting Coony first since she's needed the most for this story arch)
Name: Coon Skin
Age: 27 when first stamped, currently 30, was about 7-8 in the early 80's
Type: G1 Earthling
Body color: Soft gray, think of older raccoon pelts, with a black patches over each eye, giving her the raccoon 'bandit mask' look
Hair color: both main and tail are in alternating stripes of black and white.
Eye color: Gold
Symbol: A black raccoon silhouette sitting on a black log in front of a white moon
Powers: Well, the uncanny ability to be super sneaky at stealing
Birthplace: Relatively in an area called Tanuki Meadows, she was not born specifically inside the official settlement of the area, but out in the woods where the groups of ponies avoiding the law hide
She was born first out of four children to parents Hide and Fawning. Her father, Hide, bore similar raccoon resemblance, while her mother, Fawning, held more earthy tones and was more deer like in appearance. Coon's younger siblings included 2 sisters, Sly Eye (18) and Doting Doe (8), and one brother, Crafty Critter (14). Sly Eye and Crafter Critter share a raccoon resemblance with Coon, while Doting Doe takes after her mother.
The area of her birth, Tanuki Meadows, is somewhat of a "Treasure Hunter's Guild." Most of the neighboring residents scattered outside the initial settlement have some thievery background or another. Coon's family is no different. Both her parents were thieves, and from an early age, passed their skills onto Coon, as well as her siblings.
It was Coon's inexplicable attraction to shiny objects that had earned her the training that she had, and the knack for spotting riches has a tendency to become more of a curse than a blessing. More often then not, Coon finds herself in some rather compromising positions concerning her wanting of expensive items and the world about her. Usually, she cannot contain that urge to steal, and it usually gives cause for her to move about in order to avoid law enforcement.
Despite being a capable pony and rather happy currently, her childhood wasn't too keen. It wasn't terrible, but it could have been worse. Because of her boyish ways, Coon had been quickly labeled in outsider among her peers aside a select few. A growing gender confusion plus the traumatic addition of her first sibling had left her isolated from most things, including the attention of her parents. These issues were eventually resolved in her mid teens when she came out of the closet and after she had discovered siblings weren't all that bad.
In the end, her relationship with her siblings and her equal passion for the stealing brought her closer to her parents. Through her late teens, she obtained "on the job" experience by going out on schedule robberies with her parents. After eventually learning the ropes, Coon went off on her own for her own robbery endeavors. She'd managed to travel to almost every corner of the world, finding wonderful treasures and many a mare to flirt with. However, she had a tendency to leave more girlfriends than coming back with more treasure.
In her early twenties, Coon Skin had tried to work a family with a nice pinch of pocket money. Eventually she had formed a relationship with the daughter of said family, Foxtrot, and was more interested in her than what she could earn. Coon was prepared to propose and leave her life of crime for the girl, but the relationship ended when she caught by Foxtrot after having been duped into robing her.
She returned home afterwords and back to her life of crime. For a while she teamed with her parents again. But after an unfortunate error by her father (whom was caught and sentenced 10-20 years) in the heist of an armored car, Coon was on the move again to avoid confrontation.
At 27, she eventually came to Ponyville in order to lay low from a band of enforcers. Due to an evening of fine beer (or not so fine), she'd managed to stumble into the battle against the Dark Rainbow. Mostly she helped evacuate hostages, but she had managed to kill a Dark Rainbow ally, Reaper. To this day Coon still has nightmares of it.
Shortly after that battle, Coon Skin alongside Bonfire encountered the Outer Edge's "Ghosty," in which they both earned matching golden bracelets and knives.
During the Mage wars, Coon had objected to taking sides with any of the Gods, staying close to the Rainbow. During this battle, she'd fought with several, but had eventually dueled it out with Twinkle-Eyed unicorn, Jol, that used mental illusions and powers to battle. Coon eventually killed the unicorn, but not after watching the illusion of killing her girlfriend at the time, Stokely.
Since then, her relation with Stokely has faltered due to Coon inability to deal with what she had done to the unicorn. Unfortunately her love life would have suffered regardless because of a business related error on her part. Unable to stop herself, Coon had stolen Jewel's amulet. Chase was given, eventually she was apprehended, and forced to suffer the fate of being jailed by Moe.
Razz and Roxy came to her rescue, literally springing her from jail, and enlisting her talents as a thief to help retrieve the Rainbow of Light from Ratskull.
Currently she is on the pirate ship along with the champions, giving chase to the rainbow.
(dies, I don't even want to try listing ponies she's flirted with.)
Edit: Thought I'd add some notes...
In appearence, Coon Skin is quite masculine. Her hooves tend to have that shaggyness on the G1 boys. In almost every situation, Coon *is* mistaken for a boy.
