Cutie Mark Story: Junie was a lonely filly, being ill often in her young life. Her parents tried to cheer her up, bringing a few ponies by for playdates and the like, but she didn't really connect to them. She'd spent a lot of time reading, and was difficult to talk to, because she preferred textbooks to novels. This did, however, give her parents an idea; she was clearly interested in the world and what it had to offer, so they started collecting up things like chemistry sets, atlases, meteorology tools, whatever they could...

It was the ant farm, however, that struck her fancy the most. Junie got attached to watching them make their rounds, and studied them intently for hours a day. After a few weeks, she came out of her shell with a report about how Ponyville's businesses were like the ant colony, everyone doing their part, and garnered a small audience, thanks to a rather entertaining presentation. Her health picked up in the following time, and she began to study other insects outside whenever she had a moment to spare. The ladybug on her flank signified she had found her own place in the colony, and she's dedicated herself ever since.

Harmonic Element: Laughter

Additional Notes: Junie's lack of previous contact has left her a bit overenthusiastic about being around other ponies, and has little regard for personal space. Her health hasn't actually improved that much since her younger years, so she is still quite prone to getting sick. Her somewhat reckless work habits haven't helped either, though she remains diligent in spite of it.
