Cloudy Quartz is the daughter and only child of Clear Quartz, the heiress to a very successful mining agency. Her mother is very no-nonsense, and cares far too much about how others view her, seeing her daughter as a way to improve her reputation in the eyes of nobles rather than a person.
Cloudy was very resentful towards this lifestyle and often took any excuse she could to leave the house and see her friends, or anyone really. She had found a second family in a group of mares attending a nearby private school, among them being a very pretty pegasus named Hidden Treasure.
Hidden Treasure (Hidi) was an aspiring geologist and immediately took a shining to Cloudy, knowing her past and her ties to the industry. Cloudy was off-put by this initially, but quickly warmed up to Hidi, seeing that she was nothing but warm and kind to the people around her. Hidi quickly developed a crush on poor, clueless Cloudy, and although Cloudy reciprocated those feelings towards her, she didnāt know how to articulate it (internalized lesbophobia played a big part in this).
The two started dating very casually, more of a āfriends with benefitsā situation than anything else as far as Cloudy was concerned just gals being pals. Whereas Clear Quartz never found out about the situation, Hidiās family (consisting of two dads and a ton of siblings) practically adopted Cloudy, accepting her as their daughter and sister, and Cloudy had never felt so accepted.
Cloudy had made a decision, she loved Hidi more than anything and wanted to marry and start a family with her. She felt as if she would finally be happy but uhh nah. Her mom had found out about the relationship and Cloudy was now being sent to a neighboring rock farm to be married to a much older, recently widowed man with 2 daughters. She didnāt even get the chance to say goodbye.
Hidi tried sending letters when she found out what happened, but all connection was cut off by Clear Quartz. Cloudy was to marry the widow, Igneous Rock, and Hidi and Cloudy were to never see each other again.
Cloudy found out she was pregnant a few days after the wedding of her and Igneous, meaning it couldnāt be anyone's but Hidiās. Whoops.
Img 1: Cloudy had tried to convince Igneous the baby was his, and Igneous was willing to believe it- up until the surprise twins were born, both with heterochromia and covered in feathers. Yikes. Cloudy spilled, saying she had a pegasus lover back home who she was with in secret before Igneous and herself were married. Igneous was disappointed, but was willing to raise the foals, despite knowing they werenāt his own. Not pictured: Limestone and Maud fawning over their new baby siblings.
Img 2: A polaroid of Hidi taken by Posey Poem, Cloudy and Hidiās friend as well as Fluttershyās mother. Fluttershy findās this old picture while visiting her parents and seeās the uncanny resemblance to Pinkie. This is what jumpstartās Pinkieās journey of tracking down her true heritage that I will probably talk about in another post.
Img 3: Marble and Pinkie, past and present. Igneous and Cloudy made them wear these big cloaks to hide their colorful features and feathers (and in Pinkieās case- wings) from the prying eyes of the rest of the community. They were only allowed to take them off when they were at home and no one outside could see them. This suppression causes long-term problems in both of them- but again Iāll probably talk about that in another post. Oh and I should also mention- theyāre both trans, Pinkie being amab and Marble being afab. Limestone teases them a lot for āswapping gendersā.
thank you for letting me ramble... sorry if this isnāt as coherent as my sleep deprived brain thinks it is.
