Story of the shadow pony

Misty Shade grew up like any other foal. It wouldn't be much worth mentioning, if she wouldn't be such an odd pony.

A shadow pony had a lack of personality, would often be silent because if that and had a bad habit of stealing, seeing it was more then an empty, dark vessel as a normal pony. And so was Misty. She was normal in the beginning, but pretty quickly became silent. She wouldn't talk much, would hide herself and stare kinda awkwardly at things, especially unicorns who performed magic tricks.

Lets look at her when she was about to enter school. She was so small and cute, but she liked to wear her mane in dreadlocks. Starlight was smiling brightly walking with her to the local school and gave her best to cheer her filly up.

Yet all her tries to talk to her own daughter were really one sided. "Are you nervous?" She asked, finally getting close to the school building. Misty looked nervous, well, a little. But she mostly had that dull expression in her silver eyes. Starlight sighed slightly, before she stopped the little filly in her tracks. With her hoof on Misty's shoulder, she said "Listen, I know everything will be alright. Just, keep your hooves to yourself and be nice. Okay?" "Okay..." her tiny voice escaped Misty's throat, making her mommy smile and giving her a kiss on her forehead. With that, they entered the playground of the school building. Many of the fillies and colts stopped in their tracks as they spotted the dark filly. Even the teacher jumped a little, never seeing a pony like Misty, but beside from that, school went well. Until one day, Starlight was called to the principal.

On her way, she noticed a young unicorn colt. His eyes looked a little dull, as for looking so frightened as he was witness of a horrible crime, which would traumatize someone his age. That made her wonder, what that would have to do with her being her.

Was it something her little Misty Shade had done? With those worried thoughts, she entered the office.

Misty was sitting on a chair in front of the principal, which made Starlight even more worried.

"Hello, Mrs Glimmer." The principal said, her voice rough and kinda sad "Please, take a seat." "Thank you.". Shortly after Starlight had sat down, the principal explained what had happened. "You see, Mrs Glimmer, today, your daughter got into a fight." "W-What?" "Yes. Some colt had made fun of her. And as a filly had told a teacher and they were on their way to help Misty, they found all the colts knocked out and one begging for her to stop. We have no idea what happened, but I think there is no doubt that your daughter had beaten up those colts.".

Starlight was so shocked to hear that. She promised she would make sure something like that wouldn't happen again, before she took Misty back home. On their way she asked the filly why she had done something like that. Misty didn't answered, yet it was clear she didn't felt good about what she had done. So, she got a punishment like she should and that was it.

Yet one thing that was odd: Misty's coat seemed to had become slightly blue, as for her eyes becoming slightly yellow.

Most of Misty's life, those accidents happened again every now and then, as for her taking things which weren't hers.

Starlight didn't knew what could be wrong with that filly. It was so odd, but yet, it was a pony created from a spell.

Yet, all of Starlights friends helped her as best as they could with. Misty grown to like what her mother did for a living and seemed to be pretty good at it too. She was like somepony totally different when she acted. Even she never got a cutie mark, it was clear that acting was her special talent. So when she was grown up, she was an actress herself. Yet that wasn't the only thing that changed over the years. One thing was that Jazz Radio and Starlight Glimmer had started dating and when Misty's own acting career started, her mom and Jazz were an official couple. It made even Misty pretty happy to know her mom was as well.
