Chapter 1

Princess Sophie didn't always think of herself as a princess. She made others around her believe the same. She often tried to play as an earth pony, but from her looks, obviously that was a very difficult thing to achieve.

Sophie was born on the 7th of July, 1987. Her full name is Sophia Hallie Anne Sonata.

She grew up with a love for music, art, and beauty. Music stood out the most. Sophie loved to play around with the piano when she was smaller, no matter how sour the notes came out. Eventually, she taught herself how to play absolutely divinely.

Sophie went to the Primary School of Young Musicians from the age of 5-12. She quickly made friends, her best friend being Octavia Melody. They stuck together, talking to each other everyday, gossiping, being the way young fillies should. Truth is, Sophie was always jealous of Octavia. She was jealous of her looks, she was jealous of her cutie mark, and she was jealous of how she could play the cello so incredibly beautiful just by picking up the bow and dragging it along a huge looking guitar. By the time Sophie turned 10, she often studied her reflection in the mirror. She did not like her hair. She did not like her eye color. She did not like her wings. Most certainly, she did not like her blank flank. She knew she loved music, but she feared that music wasn't the only thing she would come to love. She wanted to know everyday what her cutie mark would look like, trying everything she could to achieve it. But, nothing. She cried often, and she started to hate herself. She eventually grew out of primary school and entered high school. With the love of music in her heart, she believed she could overcome anything and everything high school threw at her. But she was wrong.

She was bullied severely for being an alicorn. Octavia went to a different high school, so she had no friends. She was hurt, emotionally by her peers. She often thought about ending her life, she felt like she didn't have a reason to live. During high school she faced awful depression, crying herself to sleep almost every night. Not only that, but she was still stuck with a blank flank. The days dragged on, the awful math lessons continued, and the bullying seemed to never stop.

Until one day she walked home from school.

She found a little filly crying near a tree, wings covering her face. She slowly walked over to her and layed a gentle hoof on her back. The little filly gasped and looked up, asking what she needed. Sophie slowly replied, asking her what was wrong in a very endearing voice. The tiny pony hesitated before telling Sophie how she felt. Sophie listened, understanding every word she said, while rubbing her back. Sophie then continued to give absolutely perfect advice, which flowed out incredibly smoothly, cheering the filly up immediately. The filly thanked her and hugged her, and went on trotting back to her home. Sophie felt so incredibly happy, she felt some light inside of her. Suddenly, she felt something tingle on her back. She looked over to her flank, and she realized that she has gotten her cutie mark. She squealed, immediately jumping up and flying around in circles. Her cutie mark is a dark blue heart, with two eighth notes conjoined inside of them.

Sophie then proceeded to drop out of high school the very next day.

She turned her home into a small doctor's office.

Every pony of every kind was allowed to come to her home and speak to her and listen for advice.

Sophie never charged a single dime.

She was filled with happiness, pursuing her love for music and pursuing her love for helping other ponies.

One day, the unexpected happened.

Sophie basically forgot that she was an alicorn, never paying attention to both her horn and wings and never asking anyone to pay attention to them either.

She was walking home from the grocery store one day. She placed her key in her mouth and unlocked the door, kicking it open. Inside was Princess Celestia, accompanied by Princess Luna.

She dropped her groceries all over the floor and instantly bowed down. She asked what she could do for them and Celestia just smiled, and told her these exact words.

"You have overcome many battles, many scars, many emotional injuries. You have taken these scars and transformed them into something incredible. You take your time into helping other ponies, listening to them and healing their problems.

You are a true Princess."

And with that, she lifted Sophie up with her magic and transformed her into the Princess she is today.

The pink dots on her coat represent the happiness, adherence and love she gives towards other ponies.

That's the short story of how Princess Sophie became Princess Sophie.
