BIO

     Baby Tree has lived in Ponyland for nearly twenty years, and witnessed all the changes in the town serenely, without taking too much interest in anything but her own family and friends. She now lives in a four-bedroom house with two brothers, her father, and her mother.

     Both of Tree's parents work, and are rarely home, but every year at Christmas the whole family gets together to help decorate the town, and all the baby ponies flock to have their pictures taken with Baby Tree's parents, dressed as Santa and Mrs. Claus.
     Tree's older brother, Appleseed, adores her, as she's almost his only friend. He doesn't fit in with the other boys at school, and his disinterest in sports, mechanics, and other manly pursuits has made him something of a disappointment to his father, but Baby Tree loves him just as he is.

     Tree's baby brother, Bunny, also loves Tree, and especially likes it when she reads storybooks to him, even though he would never admit it to his friends. He's usually too busy playing cops and robbers with the other toddlers to notice that Tree is watching over him, but if he needs help, she's always there.
     Baby Tree still considers her best friend to be Presents n' Balloons, a twelve-year-old layabout with whom she has increasingly less in common. Years ago, when they were much younger, Tree and Presents n' Balloons (aka P&B) belonged to a group of baby ponies who called themselves The Adventure Club, and would often trek around the wilderness surrounding the town, in search of buried treasure. The group disbanded when one of its members was lost in the wilderness, and never returned, but for years afterward Tree remained friends with P&B.

     In the days of Baby Ponyland, Baby Tree often ran into P&B at the town stables. Tree was the local mail carrier, and P&B had given her one of his father's horses, a white mare, so that she could ride between towns to deliver letters and packages. P&B himself was the paperboy, and rode one of his father's stallions. Tree never goes riding anymore, but she does run into P&B occasionally. He thinks of her as a little sister, but Tree looks up to him, and still has something of a crush on him, even though they've never had much in common apart from the Adventure Club.
     Tree belongs to a different group of baby ponies now: the Filly Club, a book club for kindergarten and first-grade students who enjoy reading and discussing books. Tree is close friends with all the members of the club, especially Fleecy, whom she's known since she was very small.

     Apart from reading, Tree's main interest is animals. She often thinks she'd like to grow up to become a veterinarian. Her favorite animals are cats; if it were up to her, she'd probably have a whole house full of them. But in deference to the wishes of her parents, she's settled for just one kitty for now.
