Shaggy's Character

Shaggy was a mischievous little newborn whose chief passion in life was doing headstands, encouraged and abetted by her good friend, Untidy Ted. Ted was a scruffy teddy bear who was also always doing headstands, but Shaggy's headstanding often tangled up her mane, leaving the adult ponies frustrated by her constantly messy appearance.
