Spike never really asked for much all he really wanted was the respect from his friends and given credit when it was due. He struggled to fight for Rarity's love eventually coming to the the understanding that it was a lost cause. Always being treated lesser than everypony else Spike began to grow tiresome of his gloomy life. How he could he not complain all day cleaning after someone else doing the bidding of Twilight and generally being condescended by everypony and worst of all not even knowing your origins, all Spike really knows is that he was just found as an egg.
