Letters of Luxury

To:
Ms. Redheart

Hello, Joy! How have you been?

Of course I’m capable of keeping your secrets, that will not be a problem, considering the lack of friends I actually have left after the incident with Siri, my old boss. I suppose I should tell you a little more about myself, and hopefully, you’ll be willing to do the same.

I’m honestly not sure how to go about doing this, I’ve never described myself through a letter, or really had anyone to write letters to besides Ms. Rarity, but that’s only under business circumstances. I suppose I’ll start with some basic stuff. My favorite color is a light green, because Spring is my favorite season, and I love seeing the world’s new life grow. It’s easily the best season. Too bad, though, living here in Manehatten means I don’t get to see as much of it as I’d like.

My favorite foods? Perhaps I’m weird but my favorite meal is easily a fresh salad with roasted nuts and a side of carrot rounds. I know, I know, unhealthy fast food, what can you do? Anyways, I honestly just eat whatever I feel like eating but usually, I try to keep myself in good shape by walking everywhere I need to go, even if it’s across town. Now, once in awhile, I’ll take a taxi if I need to be somewhere at a certain time or if I’m dropping off a cloth order. I don’t like having to ride in one of them things. Those earth ponies can get rude sometimes; especially when you’re out of bits.

I am a lesbian, of course, many ponies don’t know that I try to keep such information hidden, so I don’t become a victim of one of the hate gangs here in town. I mean, Rarity’s shop isn’t in the low-class area, but we still get some of those gang types every now and again. It wouldn’t surprise me to find a window broken if they knew I was a filly fooler. It’s not my store they’re breaking into, though, it’s Rarity’s and if my sexuality is going to put her store in danger, I’d rather just hide who I am and protect my work.

Well there, three tidbits about me, that’s all you’ll get for this letter. I’m mean aren’t I? Anyways, I hope everything is going well for you! Business here has been getting really busy, what with Winter almost over, everypony is ordering spring dresses and suits in preparation for Spring events here and in Canterlot. I can’t wait to get another letter from you! I don’t think you realize just how much I look forward to your next letter. I almost fainted when I saw I had a letter from you in my mail. Actually, I did faint… only for a second or two, long enough for my jaw hit the ground.

Anyways, I hope to hear from you soon! Write back whenever you have the opportunity.
(Also, does this mean we’re technically dating?)

Your friend in Manehatten,
~Coco
