Loud Mouth is a part-time motivational speaker, and seemingly all-time unpaid intern. She's always dreamed of having her own radio show, and broadcasting her voice to millions—but no matter how hard she tries, it always seems like the cards aren't in her favor. She's always too timid, or too soft-spoken.
But with the (mostly unsolicited) help of three very different ponies, Loud Mouth may start to find the path to change.

Here is Loud Mouth's biography, as entered in the OC Encyclopedia:
"OC Name: Loud Mouth
Species: Pegasus
Appearance: Loud Mouth is a tall pegasus mare with gangly legs. Her coat is a light tan color, while her mane--which is short cut, but always seems to be mussed up--is a dirty blonde. Her feathers are always a bit ruffled, no matter how much she preens them, and she always seems to have bags under her eyes. She always seems to have a smile on her face, even if it's a small one. Her cutie mark is a radio microphone with silver sound waves emanating from it.
History: Loud Mouth was born in a Cloudsdale suburb to two snowflake designers. As a child, her parents always encouraged her to practice her weather making skills, but she never had a knack for it--being responsible for Equestria's weather was an idea that just stressed her out. Instead, Loud was always drawn to the entertainment business--particularly radio. Throughout her teenage years, Loud interned at the local Cloudsdale radio station, 97.4, "The Bolt."
It was at The Bolt that she got her cutie mark. One day during an awful storm, due to a lack of staffing, Loud Mouth--who up to that point had just been running coffee between studios--was forced to go on the air to deliver an emergency weather broadcast. Little did she know that she would have to carry the weather broadcast for the next six hours, until the storm ended. The experience was exhilarating, exciting... something that she had never felt before. When she finally went off-air, her cutie mark appeared.
Her young adulthood was spent bouncing from radio station to radio station, unfortunately never getting any sort of on-air position. Now, at the ripe old age of thirty-one, Loud Mouth works as a motivational speaker, encouraging ponies young and old alike to "follow their dreams" and to "dare to think big."
Personality: Loud Mouth is well-meaning, but extremely unconfident in herself. Despite all of the advice she gives to ponies--all of which she does believe--she can never seem to make her own dreams come true. Whenever she tries to exit her comfort zone, she just ends up second guessing herself. However, she never lets this frustration show, for fear that ponies will taunt her for wasting her life.
Loud Mouth loves helping ponies, and thinks that there's no greater feeling than making someone's day a bit better. Well, maybe no greater feeling than chocolate. She has an awful sweet tooth. A perfect night for Loud Mouth would be sitting at home, eating pastries and listening to the radio. Unfortunately, since most of her seminars are at night, it never seems to work out this way.
Loud Mouth hates arguments, and will do anything to get out of one, even if she feels it might be justified. As a result, she tends to bottle her frustrations inside.
If Loud Mouth saw somepony in trouble, she would think about how someone should help them, but it's rare that she would actually do it, because what could someone like her do anyway?"
