I HAVE NOT READ/WATCHED DR. JEKYLL AND MR.HYDE I'VE ONLY LISTENED TO THE MUSIC.

Discord, the one we know, is prideful, confident, and immature. However, when he was still learning how to use his powers, he liked to enchant things and mess with ponies, not much different from how he is now. One day he finds an unhappy stallion, this stallion wants freedom, he feels caged. Discord feels he has just the solution to his horrible problem.
