Elegant. Powerful. Talented. Mysterious. She is all these things.

At least, that's what she'd have you believe.

Sequestered in her Manehattan penthouse in self-imposed isolation, Noir hides from Equestria, maintaining her crown assigned duties as the city's Poet Laureate. Rumors of her gross deformity and the history of her fall from grace haunt her every waking moment. Plagued by events she cannot alter, Noir's mind has slipped into a world where fact and fiction blur. Solace is sought in drink and debauchery, and her magic has decayed to the most basic of skills. Protected by her diamond dog companion, it is only a matter of time before she tells one lie too many and finds herself utterly alone.

How can you correct the course of your fate when you only look to the past?
