Ah, Maud. So misunderstood. She tries her best, really she does, but somehow ponies never quite seem to like her. But she wasn't always like this. When she was young, before she grew up, before the accident...

This is the story of how a happy foalhood came to an abrupt end, and how one of Equestria's most singular characters came into being.

*EDIT* This story was written before "Hearthbreakers", and thus can no longer be considered canon. So think of it as what could have been, rather than what was.
