==Personality==
Usually, Cuppa tries to be nice to everyone she knows or meets, but with new people or the rougher variety of people, she will be hesitant to talk to them. And it's hard to count on her in a battle-zone unless you want to have a break mid-fight for a drink, though she has proven to be the sneaky sort of gal if given the chance, prone to hiding from a fight instead of fighting.
The sort of things that Cuppa likes to do is generally relax, drink something nice and hot and pamper herself as it is a rare thing to indulge in. She also enjoys compliments about the drinks she makes, having spent most her time growing up in the wasteland brewing drinks and all manner of other things for everypony else. It's not that she demands confirmation that she can brew, but she really likes hearing praise for such a thing, previous years in captivity having drilled such a thing into her head.
Cuppa hates seeing others being oppressed, but also hates that she cannot do much about it. She also dislikes being lorded over by anypony, but will still do as ordered if given in an aggressive enough tone. Regardless, she generally has bad reactions to any mention of slavery or any aggressive action made towards her, the latter usually causing her to cower.

==History==
- Spoiler:
- Born in The Republic, Cuppa Beans and her parents, Soy Beans and Runner Bean. Soy was a nurse and the unicorn was commonly known for her heart-warming brews, she was also Cuppa's mother. Cuppa's father, Runner, was a courier who took almost any job at hand, hardy and resilient like most earth ponies were he didn't stop for anything when he was on the job.
Cuppa Beans was a secluded little filly for most of her time in The Republic, she didn't seem to like meeting ponies she didn't know. And the ponies she did know were all adults who came over to visit her mother or father for whatever they needed.
Of course, Cuppa started learning how to use her magic, as well as how to tend to the wounded and sick like her mother did, but the progress was initially slow as she worked on it, much to her mother's disappointment.
When little Cuppa was 11 years old, her parents wanted to move from The Republic to Friendship City due to how much bigger it was, surely they would be completely safe there.
Sadly it wasn't so, as not half an hour after leaving, they were happened upon by a band of slavers who ended up murdering her mother with a stray bullet whilst gunning her father down, much to his credit and his folly, he had charged through a hail of bullets and withstood several crippling shots to violently tear a slaver's head off with his teeth alone. By the time he had done that, the others surrounded him, Cuppa's mother dying in the bawling filly's hooves as the young pony begged her mother not to go to sleep.
Being the only survivor, the slavers decided they could probably make use of her somehow. So they dragged the filly back to their camp and threw her in a cage.
One day, Cuppa showed her true usefulness when the slaver's doctor "slipped" on a blood-coated rock and cut his head open, bleeding heavily. Having done her best to patch up other slaves whilst caged up, Cuppa was hauled out of the cage and yelled at to fix their doctor, which she did, wrapping his head in bandages and giving it a tiny boost with some weak healing magic.
The doctor recovered within a week and Cuppa had been made to take his place until then.
With their doctor back to normal again, Cuppa was kept outside the cage in case he managed to hurt himself again, but to keep her occupied, they had her mix up and brew drinks for them so they could let loose whenever they got back. And letting loose lead to violence that was afflicted upon her, though that was not the extent of them letting loose, the girl was mentally scarred for life.
The first day of it was hell, it was also the day she earned her cutie mark for how well she could make beverages, the coffee bean on her flank speaking of only one drink she could easily make, if coffee beans still existed after the war.
Five years of this repeated torment really broke the poor filly. Enough so that when the slavers finally ended up killing themselves, having attacked and been slaughtered by one of those rare groups of wasteland adventurers who fight the good fight before getting themselves killed, they promptly got themselves killed by Hell Hounds not long after rescuing Cuppa and five others, two fillies and three colts. Being the eldest, Cuppa gathered up what remained of all the supplies and started to lead them towards New Appleoosa, having been told that they might take them in.
They were allowed to live there for a while, given a bed in the common room to rest in.
Meanwhile, Cuppa tried to help at the clinic, but ultimately failed due to Cuppa's terrible nervousness.
In the end, Cuppa left New Appleoosa, heading back to The Republic, a place she at least knew, which had ponies she knew.
In the previous two years, Cuppa had been working under the new doctor of The Republic, learning from the pony what she could. But upon hearing about Stableton in the third year, Cuppa decided to try her luck there, see just who she might meet, as well as what she might gain. She bought a gun to protect herself with, whether she could hit something with it was a different matter.
