Name: Marchioness Black Velvet

Kingdom: Storm Kingdom

Position: Noble Mare 

Family: Duchess Diamond Rose (Dam), Duchess Geekly Grace (Sire)

Personality: Black Velvet is the dramatic flamboyant darling of the Storm Kingdom, second only to Queen Cadence herself some would say. (Pearlescent thinks shes PRETTIER than Cadence but as a childhood fillyfriend she’s a little biased)  If there's one thing she's not. It's lazy. She’s always on the grind to hone her skills and maintain her image; a bold bossmare. She is the capable and resourceful secret weapon in many situations-but for the most part she's meretricious. She has no real values under the surface and has very few loyalties. She has one very very very strong loyalty though. 

Name: Principality 

Kingdom: Equestria, Traveler 

Position: Celebrity 

Family: Lily Lace (Dam), Starlight Glimmer (Dam), Lord Discord (Sire)

Personality: 

Principality is a rather aloof influencer whose allowed to exist outside of the monarchys grasp (as much as they can influence anything connected to Discord) because they're seemingly not super concerned with anything of value. Despite taking caution to be courteous, because of his nature as a draconequus some ponies consider them to be cruel. In reality, she lives by the quote "if you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all." Under his blank expression they've got a selfless heart, even if her desire to help leads to some shortsighted actions.

I steal a few breaths

From the world for a minute

And then I'll be nothing forever

And all of my memories

And all of the things I have seen

Will be gone

With my eyes with my body with me

“Jackie darling, what’s that around your neck?” 

Applejacks shoulders tensed up as she heard a familiar voice behind her, her eyes immediately falling to the floor. She answered him but she didn’t want to look him in the eyes if this went the way she thought it would.

“Granny Smiths collar, ya know that.” 

“Tsk-” 

Trenderhoof sucked his teeth. He went to put a hoof on his marefriends shoulder but was quickly rejected. 

“Ah want to look mah best. Applebloom can’t be here and neither can Granny, this is a special occasion. They should know what we stand for if they’re moseyin’ on over. Family.” 

Applejack turned to look at him, a bitterness in her voice that could be tasted in the air. She didn’t need to remind him. 

Although her eyes burned holes into him, Trend wanted nothing more than to assuage the situation. He let out a deep sigh and held up the hat that he understood was just as sentimental. 

“Dearest, you must understand. The Riches already know that, you told me yourself, about the little shenanigans you got into when you were a filly.” 

He smiled warmly as AJ took her hat and put it on. She softened enough to allow him to touch her, taking the opportunity to undo the orange apple-dappled neckerchief. 

“You also know how much they care about appearances. Granny was…sturdy and venerable, you wouldn’t want them to think you’re trying to replace her.” 

He put an arm around her and turned her back to the mirror. 

“You’re a force of your own are you not?” 

She opened her mouth to answer him but she couldn’t think of one. It had been months now and the search for her sister wasn’t bringing back any information. She was so tired. Would she really lose even more of the only family she had left? 

Big Macintosh already made up some hooey about being too busy to attend the announcement, rocking the boat again could make things much worse. 

It didn’t feel right but she understood what he was saying to be the truth. 

“Ah suppose those well-to-do types read into every little thang. They’ll see me all cozied up and think ah’ve already got one hoof in the rocking chair.” 

“My thoughts exactly.” 

Trend placed one kiss on her cheek, only thinking of the joy the day held for him. He was finally getting to marry his dream mare, it was imperative she stayed that way. 

“Come now, we have an engagement to announce.” 

So I bet all I have on that

Furrowed brow

And at least in this lifetime

We're sticking together

Me and my husband

Name:  Princess Rafflesia Petals

Kingdom: Equestria, The Storm Kingdom 

Position: Crown Princess 

Family: Storm King (Sire), Queen Mi Amore Cadenza (Dam), King Tirek (Maternal Uncle), Queen Celestia (Maternal Aunt), Princess Sweetheart Hellfire (Maternal Cousin), Princess Sunburnt Beauty (Maternal Cousin), Duchess Luna (Maternal Aunt), Royal Advisor Duke Svengallop (Maternal Uncle), Marchioness Tulip Trilby (Maternal Cousin)

Name: Marchioness Pearlescent

Kingdom: Storm Kingdom

Position:  Noble Mare 

Family: Duchess Lemony Gems (Dam), Duke Buck Withers (Sire)

Personality: Pearl is not a mare who likes to argue. She’s not the most organized or responsible but she finds her way and does what she likes, there’s no point in trying to convince her otherwise. It’s a wonder she can properly memorize routines. Even at her worst she’s not very likely to confront somepony and will do what it takes to simply make whatever problem she’s facing go away. Most ponies in her circle wouldn’t dare argue with her anyway. She prefers to surround herself with ponies she can be better than. No matter what you think of Pearlescent she can be a very captivating mare when she wants to be.
