Kim G. Birdhorse

Kim G. Birdhorse is a pegasus mare who, through unusual genetic circumstances and having deviated from her species’ typical vegetarianism, has obtained a seemingly bottomless appetite and attraction to food. Combined with her sedentry and hedonistic lifestyle she rapidly gained weight in early adulthood, quickly becoming functionally immobile, and later, hyperobese to the point of weighing hundreds of tonnes.

Despite this, Kim is bubbly and optimistic about her life and circumstances, choosing to focus on body positivity and making the best of her circumstances.

Background

Born eight minutes after her twin brother Grey, the pair had a similar early life. Despite being raised in a relatively poor neighbourhood, they were both happy and hyperactive children.

Kim remained a vegetarian (like the rest of her family) until her mid-teens when—having been granted an allowance and some level of independence—she tried fast food for the first time, becoming addicted to the experience of new, alternative flavours; inspiring her interest in gastronomy and starting a slow weight gain. This deviation from a herbivorous diet was frowned upon by her family, causing her to sneak food where possible.

She and Grey moved into a shared apartment at age 19. Unemployed and free from their parent’s insistance on vegetarian food at home, she resorted to eating junk food much more regularly, rapidly gaining enough weight to leave her around 700 kilograms and completely unable to walk by age 23. Now devoid of exercise, she continued to gain more rapidly over the subsequent years, briefly plateauing at around 2 tonnes.

Despite no obvious changes to her diet or lifestyle, her weight began spontaneously and dramatically increasing after her 26th birthday, similarly affecting her appetite. She was rapidly relocated to an converted aircraft hangar where the growth continued unabated, the pegasus continuing to gain multiple tonnes in the space of mere weeks.

Thanks to this supernaturally fast growth, she surpassed 450 tonnes before she had reached 29, with little sign of slowing. She is being actively studied as to why she is growing so large and so quickly, with her care efforts still directed by Grey.

Personality

Kim is a bubbly, fun-loving and bouncy pegasus pony. She likes to consider herself an optimist, always trying to find the fun in every situation and the silver lining to every dark cloud.

In truth she is deeply emotive, willing to make her feelings known—physically and vocally—if anyone has ever supported or slighted her. As a result she can seem emotionally unpredictable and prone to mood swings, which she worries may be frustrating for others. She’s often pleased when she encounters someone who can tolerate her for long periods of time.

Kim is an unabashed hedonist whose primary motivation is the pleasure of herself and her friends above all others. As a result she has a tendency to shun responsibility and often does not consider the long-term consequences of her actions. She is, however, loyal to those close to her, and will often try to compromise for their benefit.

Kim has a keen interest in cookery and an eclectic taste in food, and unlike many ponies, Kim is an omnivore. She has taken a particular, somewhat taboo, addiction to beef and beef burgers, in addition to many types of sweets and desserts. Trying to sate these addictions is a major contributor to her initial weight gain.

Her personality has remained fairly similar since her explosive weight gain. Although consuming media and interacting with the outside world has become progressively more difficult, leading to frequent boredom and more time spent sleeping, she remains remarkably upbeat about her circumstances. She enjoys talking to and being affectionate with other overweight and immobile people, be it platonic or romantic, seeing them as kindred spirits.

Appearance

Kim is a medium-grey pegasus pony with magenta eyes and a long, black mane and tail. Her cutie mark is a beige coloured scroll with a magenta ribbon (coming away in one direction) tied around it. She puts some effort into maintaining her appearance, her mane appearing neatly trimmed and brushed at all times.

Kim is extremely, ludicrously overweight, an attribute originally resulting from her hedonistic lifestyle and medical condition, but more recently exacerbated by an unknown issue. Her entire body has become engulfed by thick layers of fat, rendering her utterly incapable of movement and severely limiting her ability to see or hear. Almost all distinctive features, barring her cutie mark, have been swaddled in rolls upon rolls of lard.
