Pippin, despite being the child of notoriously large stallion Big McIntosh, is a rather petite pony, however, she is a burst of cheer. She wakes up most days chippy and looking forward to the day and she’ll share the cheer with others without a thought, especially ponies looking down. Despite this, Pippin can also have spontaneously shy moments, especially when it comes to more intimidating ponies. Her father usually attempts to give her a gentle nudge into snapping out of her shy state, whereas her mother, whom she inherited this sometimes shyness from, only coddles her when it comes to it. She is best friends with her cousin Blackjack and often pals around with the clumsy mare if she’s not out working on the farm with her family.

While her talent is spreading cheer, this sometimes lends Pippin to feel rather ashamed when she herself is feeling down. When she’s feeling upset or sad, she starts to believe she’s failed at what she’s supposed to be good at. In these cases, Pippin tends to withdraw and spend time alone, contemplating the whole thing. These moods don’t strike her often and usually pass after a little while, leaving behind the same happy mare with a bounce in her step.
