Description:

(This is the *male Strawberry Cocoa version*, female version here)

The first commission with:
- a baby colt Strawberry Cocoa.
- the beginnings of what their home could look like from the inside.
- an Easter theme.

:D <3

The artist used a different diaper design depending on Strawberry Cocoa's sex, as her style differentiates sexes only by the lack of eyelashes, which she didn't want to be the only difference for this commission. She did tell me she's looking to diversify her style as a result of this commission, and she already had ideas how to but no time to practice at the time of uploading.
- The diaper designs have been made canon.

I actually hadn't thought about it, so when she showed both sexes wearing the rings (which she was unsure about) despite being very young babies, I figured it would be perfectly within the weirdness of the family that the parents, maybe with input from Icy Breeze (who is a femboy) and/or others, would had already given them to both sexes to wear since an extremely early age, figuring they'd look good on him too since he does look unisex as a baby, and maybe they'd actually keep wearing them growing up.
- This has been made canon.

Also, mom Windy Gale finally has a cutie mark ! Well, an experimental one, but both me & TheCrimsonSpark think it's good enough (he approved my crude concept art I pieced together from various royalty-free pictures, and the artist implemented it alongside this commission as she saw fit), and easy enough for the traditional artists in particular, to represent her monster power of throwing gale-strength winds with her wings.

Canon lore/context:

Wintera Cocoa was rescued 23 years ago by a forager of The Coco Clan upon being found close to starving to death, seemingly orphaned as her parents had seemingly been killed, judging by the little blood on the ground and overall environmental damage, but no corpses could be found. The Clan's best trackers searched, but an hour later still no better/more results.

At about 1-week-old, the baby deer-pony was first visited by Icy Breeze (a femboy) & Windy Gale, a brother-and-sister duo, in the hospital where she was in intensive care, to let Wintera nurse (as generally recommended by the Clan Council for a promise of rewards) from Windy in order to assist her proper development and play with her. Everything served as a way to bond both ways.

The doctors had told the duo that she was weirdly chill when she came in, and the chill continued every time someone came to visit (and potentially nurse) her. Such chill is characteristic of The Coco Clan due to the mutation, but even the native newborns were usually less like her.

Another week later at 2 weeks old, the doctors certified to the Council that Wintera would be fine. The next day, the siblings took her home (as generally mandated by the Council). They wouldn't be the only caretakers, of course.

At this point, it still wasn't clear if Wintera was sapient, as she was seemingly born to wild animals, and she didn't behave, nor sound, like a sapient being like the adoptive ponies. While the Clan knew wild deer-ponies weren't unheard of, she was still a big surprise.

In any case, she was officially adopted into the Clan and then given her full name (the 'Cocoa' part signifies having a united, loving, big adoptive family, just in case she proves to be sapient) via a Clan-wide poll, and will be taken care of like one of their own, with the difference she is an official pet of the whole Clan, and in any case doesn't belong to anyone specifically, instead is everyone's responsibility where possible.

Later, while visiting Windy's family, Icy tested how Wintera would react to a rougher playtime, namely being tossed upwards, as a Clan standard procedure. It was a long shot in the dark with Wintera, but it shouldn't hurt to try.

He started very lightly, by letting her barely leave his hooves, which has been found to be enough to see if the baby finds a problem with it but have no effects on the baby beyond any discomfort. Much to the siblings' surprise, she liked it quite a bit, even after a couple more tries.

Steadily, he increased the throwing force, and, much to even more of their surprise, she absolutely loved it no matter the height. Almost like on an exponential scale, the increasingly higher she went, the much more she loved it than she did just previously.

Pictured:

Windy's own son, Strawberry Cocoa, the same age as Wintera, is also awake, so she takes care of him while the femboy takes care of and plays with Wintera.

Wintera is now quite high up in the air, and as evident by her face, she loves it.

There have some food to celebrate the Easter once the babies have been satisfied.

I hoped to add baby noises to Wintera, but couldn't come up with it. The artist was happy to, but neither progressed on it, so they were left out.
