I could have left the Flormato family alone, just let them stay at six while canon gives them a new cousin and bumps the CheesePie family up to seven (not counting parents). Leave it at a baker’s dozen of Sandwich offspring from two couples. 

But then, two evil thoughts came to my mind. One, “I should totally come up with a pony based on that Darkwing Duck character I really like”. And two, “wouldn’t it be funny if we struck Tommy and Flora with that ‘twin curse’ that runs through the Sandwiches’ mom’s side of the family?”

I caved to both, and the Flormato family has been bumped up to eight (pfft, like Flora and her siblings), bringing the total of Sandwich Kiddos to fifteen.

I’m making sure they’re the last by making them sort of a bookend; where the CheesePie family had started with twins Pizza Pockets and Fudge Fondue, the Flormato family ended with twins Wildflower and Boxthorn. 

So, some tidbits on the new kids:

They’re a year younger than Li’l Cheese. 

Wildflower’s the older twin, full of spunk, sass, and a keen eye for beauty and detail, which helps her in her photography talent. She’s a social butterfly and loves going on adventures. She’s also got a temper that’s enough to make her peers call her “Wildfire” at times. 

Boxthorn’s the younger one, who’s a shy, awkward dweeb who can be a little too curious and ambitious for his own good, which lead to a talent in science (mainly biology and chemistry), and him being a walking disaster, whether by accident or he’s just feeling a little mischievous toward someone who crossed him. He was kind of inspired by Dr. Bushroot, the aforementioned Darkwing Duck character. 

They’re both hopeless romantics.
