MLP AUs

The youngest daughter of Celestia and Chrysalis. Jade is an easily excitable kid with an insatiable appetite. Although she doesn't need to feed on love like Chrysalis, she does need an extreme amount of food. When she gets older, she becomes an active advocate for hybrid rights. She spends a lot of time complaining and talking to Crescent. She likes to shift into other maids to tease them.

The youngest daughter of Luna and Sombra. Crescent has an unnerving appearance that evolves with age. As a child some of her body and hair floats like mist, revealing bones underneath. When she gets old enough, half of her body will be engulfed by this mist. She spends the most time with Jade, who she considers a sister-cousin because they're of similar age and they both have siblings who are far older than them. Sometimes she falls into shadows and talks with spirits that roam around.

Daughter of Starlight and Trixie. Luci followed in Trixie's footsteps as a magic performer but branched off into acting. She lives in the capital in a life of luxury and doesn't take kindly to those who bad-mouth her. She's very dramatic and self-absorbed, but she will help others if she feels that it has to be done. Luci is full of sarcasm and passive-aggressiveness but can be won over easily by flattery and expensive gifts.

Daughter of Rose and Sunset. Star is spoiled by her parents, but she never feels like it's enough. Sometimes she feels like she was only born to be shown off, so she makes as much trouble as she can to gain her mother's approval. She's aware that her extended family dislikes her, and she plays on that fact in very public ways. Despite all of her antics, she never feels fulfilled doing anything other than star magic. Star has a talent for astrology and astronomy and uses it to asses people around her.

The youngest triplet of Fuji and Sweetie. Onyx is the only rock-named member of the family and eventually grew into her name. After her sister left them, she suppressed any and all feelings for her and forced herself to move on. If Lady wanted to abandon them, then she wouldn't waste time grieving her. Patch always accuses her of hating her sister, but she often shrugs it off. Onyx feels like she has to drag her family out of their grief herself.

The youngest daughter of Silver and Scooter. As a pegasus, she was expected to be like her mother, Scooter. However, she doesn't like to fly and has a mild fear of heights. She tries not to pay attention to Lightning but wishes he would stop making fun of her. Cloud knows that even if she were to try flying, her mother would not be able to catch her and she would fall to her death. She spends most of her time helping Hestia run her clinic since she realized she had a knack for finance. She often has to keep her on track while working and acts as a resounding voice of reason. She doesn't really interact much with her other cousins.

Daughter of Pinkie and Rarity. She is a performer like her mother but enjoys making shows about crystals. She travels around Equestria doing side shows about different gems and their meanings. She's tempted to go with Onyx into a teaching job. She thinks Pink Lady is more suited to being a show dancer. Ame was the one who introduced Lady to it, and it seems like she became enamored with it. She's also very close to Patches since they have similar interests. Ame is very into witchcraft and uses her crystals to perform rituals to help her herbs grow. She enjoys the company of Marsh and Moonie but thinks that Moonie is far too bitter for her liking. She doesn't know the full extent of her relationship with Storm and thinks he's sort of spoiled.

The youngest daughter of Cadence and Sunburst. Striker is father-adjacent. Hestia takes after her mother the most and only wants the best for everyone. She puts all of her passion for caregiving into other people and rarely lets herself rest. She's aware of her brothers' views about her, but she knows she can take care of herself without them. Sometimes Hestia trains under Cadence to become the successor of the Crystal Heart artifact. She thinks that it's useful for purifying dark hearts but ultimately useless for rehabilitating the ponies who have them. She has started a group called Amare to help rehabilitate those who had been purified by the Crystal Heart. She struggles to lead it but has managed to maintain it fairly well. Since Lightning spends all his time with her brother, Hestia became closer to Cloud instead. They were both around the same age, and they related to each other's lives and passions. Hestia despises Stardust because she tried to sabotage her clinic for attention. Sometimes she uses Storm's self-worth issues as a case study to help him out.

Youngest son of Twilight and Tempest. He has an abundant amount of magic potential, and sometimes it goes out of control. He loves his moms, but he is terrified of his sister. He blames himself for her leaving but feels relieved that she's gone too. He knows that his parents are playing favorites, but he could never get the attention off of himself for long enough to get them to acknowledge his sister. Despite his position as future Friendship Ambassador, he wishes he could have left as his sister did. He tries his best to act like a role model for Jade.

She prefers to be called Jack or Jackie. Jack runs a successful apple business for Fruit Bat Ponies. She's often looking to expand from just apples so that her products have more variety. Jackie meets up with Rarity at her concerts since she's allowed to sell her products there. Despite Rose disliking her, they're good business partners. Jackie hates businesspeople who lie about their products, and her popularity is due to her honesty with her customers. She's always willing to help out anyone who needs it and often hires them when they need to get back on their feet. Currently, she experiments with fermenting different fruits to make various liquors. After Twilight ascends, she's offered the place of being the muse of honesty and diligence.

Previously Fluttershy. She renamed herself when she came to terms with her Vampiric side. Rose is fiercely protective of her home. She dislikes anyone who comes from another part of Equestria and will openly alienate them until they either leave or she gets used to them. Rose has a sensitive sense of taste and tests most foods for poison since she can't be killed by them. She notices that a lot of Vampire ponies don't really have a safe place in bat pony society, and aims to create laws that keep them from being discriminated against. Sometimes Vampirism is wanted by the receiver, but quickly becomes a problem when they're not allowed into the spaces they want to be in. After Cadence's ascension, she's offered the place of being the muse of kindness and introspection.

Her stage name is La Belle. Luna adopted her after she stole gems from the castle and garnered her interest. Despite showing interest in gems, her talent was music. Rarity was allowed to pursue her dream of becoming a singer under Luna's guidance. She is dramatic and loud but adores her family immensely. She's never really given up her habit of stealing, and occasionally finds herself discreetly pickpocketing nobles who displease her. She has a secret collection in a hidden part of her room in the palace. Rarity is always trying new ways to help people gain confidence in themselves. After Twilight's ascension, she's given the place of being the muse of generosity and music.

She only uses her "-kie" name for work- everyone else calls her Diane. Diane runs a mining company with her two sisters Marblestone(Inkie) and Limestone(Blinkie). She is dedicated to her work and studies rocks and gems outside of work. Her talent is Mineralogy, shown by her Cutie Mark. Once you get Pinkie talking about her career, she won't stop for hours about the ways they formed and the names of every one of her rock friends. She tends to be emotionally distant due to her upbringing and suffers frequent panic attacks. Her sisters calm her down. She travels around a lot for work but sometimes stays in places longer because she's being paid to do a class about her job. After Twilight ascends, she's given the place of being a muse of laughter and forgiveness.

Previously Rainbow Dash: changed his name when he transitioned. He works for the royal guard and takes his job seriously. If anything happens, Striker is the first to know about it and the last to leave it alone. He's very protective of his role, and anyone he thinks may usurp him is intimidated into trying for another position. Striker works as Cadence's guard and will die for her without hesitation. He's gained a few scars from close calls that have happened in the past, leading to his obsessive behavior. He thinks that Cadence would make a good Empress because she cares a lot about others. While she has trouble saying no, he's more than willing to do it for her. If anyone asks- no, he does not have a crush on her. Cadence is just really cool. After Cadence ascends, he's given the place of being the muse of loyalty and wind.

She prefers Cadence. She often dotes on her little sister and tries to make up for her minute emotions. Cadence is bubbly and laid-back but can be air-headed and single-minded. She spends extra classes with Celestia because of her imminent ascension to be an alicorn. She's worried about leaving behind her sister but knows she can handle herself. When she's not attending parties and studying, she can be found confiding in her guard and advisor. Once she ascends, she's referred to as the goddess of love and protection.

Previously Twilight Sparkle. After an uncontrollable burst of magic that killed her family, she renamed herself in order to never forget why she needs to control herself. She has scars over her right eye and is very nearsighted. She is very reserved and doesn't interact with anyone other than family unless necessary. She spends most of her time in her room or the library unless she has classes. Twilight is afraid of herself and her magic and uses it sparingly. She is an academic rival with Sunset, though it's very one-sided. She doesn't understand why Sunset wants her magic to be stronger. She is very blunt and emotionally inept, which gets her into a lot of trouble. When it's required, she is sent out to other kingdoms and countries as a political ambassador. While she's fond of visiting her aunt Luna, she finds her to be overbearing and leaves to be on her own. After her ascension in the far future, she's referred to as the goddess of magic and friendship.

She is the adoptive mother of Rarity and Rose Wine(Fluttershy). She rules the Lunar Republic and is equally watchful over all her citizens. Luna oversees her Military Camps and takes on very few personal guards because she is well-trained. She is the sole reason the Bat Ponies have homes and rights. She is very proud of her daughters and tends to boast about all of the progress the both of them have made to the republic. Luna is referred to as the goddess of the moon and war.
