A New Arrival

Curious Creatures of Equestria: Nekos

A bipedal feline race Nekos are one of the few races that can consciously practice magic and one of the only non pony races to develop Cutie Marks. Unlike ponies a Nekos cutie Mark will appear on its shoulders rather than its flank. Nekos unlike ponies wear clothes on a regular basis and have clothes specifically designed for their physique.

"You're a Neko!?!

That was the last response Crescent had expected from Twilight.

"Y-yes. Didn't Princess Celestia tell you I was a Neko?"

Replied Crescent, surprised that the princess had omitted that particular detail.

"No. She only said that I would be getting an apprentice! But enough about that I'm Twilight Sparkle your mentor land these are my friends Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Fluttershy and thes-" Twilight was abruptly cut off as three Fillies about the same age as Crescent bounced up to her. "Hi there!" Said the white unicorn with the purple mane "I'm Sweetie Belle!" "Ahm Apple Bloom!" A yellow earth pony said pushing in next to the unicorn "And I'm Scootaloo" A small orange pegasus said jumping onto th back of the other two. "And we're the Cutie Mark Crusad-" They began to say before collapsing into a heap. As the older ponies all came up and started greeting her (with the exception of Fluttershy who could only manage a choked meep!) Crescent Moon began feeling welcomed and fell in beside Pinkie Pie as they began walking toward the Golden Oaks Library.
