=Bio=
Personality:
Hoof Tapper is very shy and would rather flee than engage in a fight, even if he doesn't have anywhere to go. Despite trying to remove this aspect of his personality, he has never had success and remains the same coward he has always been. Despite his willingness to flee from anything that makes him nervous, he can stand on stage and play his fiddle as if he was alone in his room. His music wins the hearts of all those who hear it, even if their advances to meet him usually end up with the musician running away from them to get back to his room.

Though a coward, he is always willing to help those in need and blocks out his fear of the situation until realization hits him after he's calmed down and is suddenly hit with a flood of emotion. He is perfectly level-headed despite his tendencies and tries to make friends with those who aren't too direct for him, in which case he'll trust them extremely quickly.

History:
Despite being male, Tapper looks (and sounds) very much like a mare; to the point where he's been mistaken as one more often than not. Due to his shyness and otherwise cowardly disposition, he usually doesn't correct those mislead ponies and waits for them to figure it out on their own. When growing up in Vanhoover, this meant he was teased by those who discovered his true self, only fueling his tendency to shy away from problems. The few that refused to follow the path that many others had became friends that he held close like family.

Always having an ear for music, he picked up his mother's fiddle and discovered his natural talent for the instrument. Pretty much any instrument with strings is something this pony can master, but his favorite remains the fiddle. Winning the respect of his peers at a talent show in school, the teasing mostly stopped. Just as things were looking up for him, the nation was torn apart by the griffon attack and he was forcefully separated from the good life he was just starting to receive.

Tapper and his parents were holed up in their house during the majority of the war, but as their home city fell to the attacks, they were forced to flee. Making the hardest choice of his life, he picked up his fiddle and volunteered to leave his parents and travel on his own to make surviving easier on his parents with one less stomach to keep full. His wanderings have taken him to Manehatten where he now hopes he'll be able to make a better life for himself, like the one he almost had so many years ago.
