EDIT: Changed the file into a hopefully bigger one 'cause it was terrible the previous one.







Four out of six with this one! Now only the Unicorn's and former Unicorn's families are left :3 From left to right, here are Pinkie's family's members: Maud Dorothy Pie, Surprise Party Pie, Marble Giselle Pie, Limestone Annabelle Pie (who now I regret to have called Annabelle due to the homonym film), Cloudy Quartz, Pinkamena Diane Pie and Igneous Rock. Aaaaand here's the headcanon for them, a bit revisited as usual :3









Born in the same rock farm where he still lives, Igneous Rock Pie is a colt which size is smaller than the average, more similar to a mare's. However, he is stout and strong and his job gave him the chance to improve his physical skills. He never really liked the life Fate had chosen for him, but he rarely complained about it. After all, he had a family who loved him, he was able to work (he often thought this because one of his brothers couldn't) and his father always managed to scrape by and support his wife and children. The only thing he couldn't bear was his fiancée. His parents had engaged him to this tall and slim gray filly since they were both really young (Igneous Rock was 6 and Cloudy Quartz was 7). Igneous' father would have benefited from this: Cloudy's parents had a rock farm as well, so the estate of both family was going to become bigger. However, that's not what the foals were thinking about: they really didn't like each other but they tried to pretend they did, since they had no choice anyway. And whereas Igneous Rock was strong and always ready to work, Cloudy Quartz, instead, was barely able to dig the ground, since she was more of a geologist or something like that which Igneous never really understood. As time passed, they could finally reason this forced relationship they had. Their big and extended family was partly gone now, since almost all the members were getting old. Igneous Rock and Cloudy Quartz waited long time before having foals, as well: they didn't want to ruin the delicate balance they had created.



Their first daughter, Maud Dorothy Pie, was a real "success". She was calm, obedient and hard working. She was good at studying and fond of petrology, which she always learned with her mother. She didn't show her feelings to other ponies except for her parents and, even in this case, she did it quite rarely. However, this was not a problem. The only thing that mattered was that the filly could stand the tough work.



Two years later Cloudy Quartz gave birth to a couple of twins. Limestone Annabelle Pie and Marble Giselle Pie have a smaller size compared to their big sister, but they were as hard working and resistant as her. They preferred studying history or foreign cultures more than rocks, but as long as they worked with strength and constancy their mother was more than happy to help them with their studies. Because of how fond and proud Cloudy was of them, the twins grew up a bit spoiled and bossily sophisticated towards other foals.



The perfection was messed up with the birth of Pinkamena Diane Pie, three years later. The small, soft, energetic furball was really difficult to calm down and discipline at first, but after a few months the pink earthquake was placated. Now she was just like her elder sisters, only a little lower spirited. She was not very strong, and this soon revealed to be quite a problem. She was almost useless on the rock farm, but her parents decided to wait a few more years to see what was going to happen. Actually, it was Cloudy Quartz who begged the husband to keep her. He suspected her wife had cheated on him, since there were no pink members neither in his nor in her family tree. Of course, everything could have happened in the daughter's DNA, but he didn't trust his wife anymore. Not much, at least. That's when problems began: Igneous Rock forbid his wife to meet other stallions and kept her almost all the time in the house or in the fields, away from their confines. They argued more and more often, and Pinkie's sisters often glowered at the colorful filly, as well. Maud was the only one who still played with her, sometimes even comforting her. Now Pinkie was 6 (she had just got her cutie mark), and she had to be able to work just like her sisters, who were not much older. Instead, she barely dragged medium sized rocks and was still not good at school.



During one of the most terrible fights, Igneous Rock lost his patience: - That foal is completely useless! We won't keep it anymore, it already cost us a lot! We'll send it somewhere else so that some other stupid and idle ponies will take care of that thing! - Pinkie was listening, and she hid in the basement as soon as her sisters saw her behind the door, overhearing their parents. She stayed there for a whole day, while Cloudy Quartz was trying to reason her to get out, telling her nothing bad was going to happen. Maybe it was the truth, maybe it wasn't. Pinkie never knew, since that night she ran away and reached a small bakery in the nearby town, Ponyville. On its threshold, she passed out, not able to bear the effort and pain caused by the long way. The next morning, she was found by the bakery's owners, a married couple with no foals, who decided to keep her and take care of her as their daughter.



Pinkie never forgot her family, so when she grew older she decided to go to them and apologize, since she had thought it was her fault all the time. The Cakes let her go, not without fearing the consequences. She had told them about her past and how her dad didn't want her, but they thought it would be better if they stayed out of the whole story. When Pinkie finally took the courage to knock at the door, her mother hugged her as soon as she saw her. They didn't move until Igneous Rock arrived from inside the house, followed by Pinkie's three sisters. He folded his ears and stepped back, almost afraid of the pink filly. - I'm so sorry. - Pinkie whispered, her voice broken by tears as she made a few steps back, as well. Igneous Rock lowered his head and shed a single tear, coming closer and hugging her. - I should have never said to you what I said... Will you ever forgive me, Diane? - was everything he was able to say. She burst into tears and squeezed him stronger. She reconciled with her sisters, too. Well, actually, Maud did not show any exterior sign of happiness, but when Pinkie tells this story, she says that her big sister was as happy as ever. And if Pinkie says so...



Now, about Surprise. Igneous Rock's mother, Surprise Party Pie is the only pony who always and completely understood Pinkie. They were like the same pony, always singing songs they had invented and playing games, spreading joy everywhere around them. Well, not that anypony got that joy. Usually, Pinkie's parents and Maud didn't really feel that. But Limestone and Marble were always ready to join their adventures and stay with their favourite grandma. Unfortunately, Surprise were not able to come to Ponyville (and so the rock farm where her son lives) much often, so her visits were the only sun rays that brightened Pinkie's days. As she got older and older, Surprise started to lose memory, and she forgot her whole family. Pinkie went every day to the hospital, bringing chocolates or candies, and every day she introduced herself to her granny, who was happy to receive a visitor, even though she didn't know who it was. She took her last breath in one of the afternoons when Pinkie used to sit next to her bed and look at her, smiling. Her death hit Pinkie awfully, but the filly could find the strength to revive and now, every year, she wishes a happy birthday to her favorite Pegasus, knowing that her "Granny Pie" will always listen to her.
