Picture and/or Description:

Background: Screwball, believe it or not, was not born as the loopy mare we all know and love. She was actually a very sane and plain pony named Sane Sally when she came into the world. Raised by two public accountants in a quite part of Ponyville, her idea of 'fun' was helping her parents organize their files and making sure everything was nice and tidy. In the eyes of her few friends, it was a dull life. To Sally, it was pure bliss.

It was until the day of Discord's release that her life was changed forever.

Sally was on her way to her internship at the local bank when she crossed paths with the infamous draconequus. The villain chuckled at her well-kept hair, the perfectly even stack of papers she was carrying and the calm look the mare gave to the curious beast before her. "My, my, my aren't you a dull one," he scoffed as he snapped his fingers, "let's loosen a few screws loose shall we?"

In a flash, Sally was no more. Her hair fluffed up into a sloppy mess and her papers into a beanie Overcome with feelings she never experienced before, the mare couldn't help but giggle, babble, and moo like a cow. The chaos in her soul was exhilarating! Recognizing that his work there was done, the draconequus sent the pony on her way with a pat on her head and the loving words of advice to fill the world with screwballs like her.

Though without powers like her creator, the little mare did the best she could to make things topsy turvy throughout town. There was not a cookie partly uneaten, a bookshelf disorganized or a house painted a different color. She was so busy having a ball being screwy that she didn't notice her cutie mark appear on her flank. Sadly, all good things must come to an end. Discord was eventually sealed back once more by the elements of harmony and order was restored. Yet, oddly, as the town turned back to normal; Sally stayed zanny.

The mare was found, and detained, while in the Mayor's office trying to fill the room with rubber duckies and cheese cake. Not recognizing her for the boring pony she once was, the doctors on site dubbed her "Screwball" after her constant prattling that she had to "fill the world with Screwballs for Daddy Discord."

For a time Screwball was cared for at the Ponyville Hospital until she managed to escape using a lab coat, some duck tape, a tuba, and the back exit. Free once more, and with a job at a local prank store, the mare now spends her time spreading chaos for her dear 'father.'

Personality: Though by appearance she may be screwier then a coo-coo bird, Screwball is actually quite rational behind her zanny purple eyes. She just chooses to be wild because it's more fun to follow in the foot steps of Discord. Unlike her figurative father though, she typically goes with cheap pranks and sight gags in her quest to upset the status quo more slowly rather than a sudden large scale mayhem. As she sees it, where is the fun of causing chaos when you can't sit back and watch it unfurl?

Convinced of the fact that she is actually the daughter of Discord, Screwball has very little recollection of her past. Though she always tends to give second glances at the 'missing' posters of Sane Sally and the old bank where she used to work. The only trait she has retrained from her former self is the lack of a desire to make friends. (Ironically, where Sally found most ponies to be too wild; Screwball finds them to be too calm.) Still, this hasn't stopped her from butting in on most conversations in the small chance of finding more like her.

Cutie Mark: The Baseball and screw on her cutie mark symbolize quite literarily her passion for being a screwball and causing chaos. It was discovered on the day of her transformation as she filled a pony's mail box with pudding. An act she found particularly enthralling

Where will I use this? Shout box mainly. Might bring her into to the forum when I'm bored.
