Hello, my name is Sweetie Belle. I live a normal life here in Ponyville. I have a loving sister who takes care of me, some good friends who know how to have fun, and everypony in town knows me as the sweet little filly who’s too naive to stay out of trouble.

That’s my life in Ponyville at least. Outside, in the streets of cities and towns all over Equestria, I have a much more sinister reputation. I’m a demon you see, a succubus, and every now in then I’ll get a craving that can only be satisfied by hunting and slaughtering another pony in the most grisly manner possible. I’m an old fashioned demon though, and by that I mean I only torment evil ponies and other demons who get off on hurting poor innocent fillies like me. I may take some flack from my peers for it, but to me there’s nothing more satisfying than the look of horror one sees when the predator suddenly realizes they’re the prey.

I try to keep my two lives separate, and until recently I’ve been successful. No one in Ponyville suspects me of anything malicious. Hell, some think my only problem is having bad influences for friends. I’ve taken careful measures to ensure any evidence that could reveal my true nature is kept hidden, but as I implied, things have become difficult.

There was a massive escape from Hell recently. Thousands of demons are roaming free around Equestria and some have found their way into Ponyville. Just another day at the office for my sister and her friends, but a potential catastrophe for me. With demons come demon hunters; who are far more skilled at finding hidden devils than your average townsfolk. I’ll need to be extra careful not to get caught now, because unlike changelings, or monsters, or mad chaos spirits, Equestria does not tolerate the presence of demons. If I’m found no Princess nor Element of Harmony can save me, it’s a one way ticket to Hades, no questions asked.

I have full confidence that I can remain safe and undetected, the only problem is that I may have to sacrifice my friends, and all of Ponyville to do it.

In all honesty, I have no idea if I’m capable of something like that or not.
