I wanted to introduce my 2 new fave mlp oc's!! Batberry and his sister Berrybite!
They follow the vampire fruit bats across Equestria to keep them in check. It's rumored that their grandfather was a batpony, which gave their family the ability to communicate fluently with bats!
Batberry keeps a long record of where they've been and who they've met. He knows each vampire fruit bat by name and can tell them apart easily. Berrybite is still learning the ins and outs of the family trade. Their parents work on a little berry farm in one corner of Equestria, where they welcome fruit bats as they come and go.
When they arrived in Ponyville, Applejack was the first to greet them. Once Batberry explained their work, she was a bit dissapointed they hadn't arrived when the bats devoured Sweet Apple Acres. Batberry, of course, asked how they dealed with the bats, and was immediately entranced with the idea of batponies being a real possibility. While Applejack and Batberry met up with the rest of the mane 6 to talk more about this, the Cutie Mark Crusaders welcomed Berrybat with open hooves.
Berrybite is homeschooled by Batberry as they travel, but if they have the option, she joins the local school for class. Berrybite is actually super shy around new people, mainly because she stands out so much compared to everypony else (not that she'd ever change though). When she warms up to somepony, usually with a nudge from her brother, she becomes a bright and energetic little filly :D!! She's become pretty good friends with the CMC, though she's insistant that she doesn't need help figuring out her cutie mark, since it'll have to do with fruit bats anyway.
Also, their makeup is actually there from birth, and their clothes are passed down from generation to generation. Batberry also wears a cowboy hat to protect his eyes from the sun as they travel, and he lets Berrybite rest on his back or in a wagon. They both have strange unrecognizable accents that they've gotten from their lives on the road and are both usually quiet and reserved. Applejack cannot tell if Batberry is a colt or a mare. The batpony ancestor rumor sprouted out of nowhere, but when Berrybite met Granny Smith, she insisted it was true, and that their grandfather saved their farm when she was a filly.
