Poofpoof’s Fantasy
By: poofpoof
Age: 11

My real name (in the game) is not poofpoof. My name is Lizzie of Oakland, a run-down neighbourhood nestled just outside the thick of three birches. She grew up in a poor family, but her unbreakable spirit helped to lift the few people of cypress out of poverty by starting a roadside store. It didn't seem like much, but it built itself up.  After a while, the people moved away and all that was left was the Harrisons, Lizzie’s family. They stayed there for about 2 more years, then something unimaginable happened. Lizzie's parents got separated from her someday when they were gathering wood. Lizzie stayed on her own for about a day, but she began to grow weak. Not much
later, a heavenly pair of ponies hobbled their way into her life. They were abandoned, each tied to two trees what for looked like a while. They were ragged and locked dangerous, but lizzie took no heed. She untied both of them and tried to teach herself to ride. She succeeded, considering the ponies were broken....and then she discovered the town.

Today, she is helping the pony pals as much as possible, and trying to become friends.
