--------------------

- Loves insects, ants in particular.

- Discovered his talent for ant keeping after his dad got him an ant farm for his 8th birthday.

- Will often share ant-related trivia facts with others, such as how leafcutter ants grow their own food or how there's a species of fungus that can turn ants into zombies. (Cordyceps fungus. Look it up.)

- When he was younger, he once got upset at school when other foals started stepping on ant hills. (Kinda based off of my own childhood experience.)

- Owns a terrarium containing a colony of crazy ants (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longhorn… ) and feeds them a healthy diet consisting of cockroaches, mealworms, crickets and occasionally something sweet like a spoonful of raw honey. (He once got creative and gave them cockroaches coated with strawberry jam as a Hearths Warming present.)

- Thinks that changelings are cool, as they remind him of ants.
