La petite mort

Just a simple cast list of the definite characters carrying over to the new arc, now set in the land of Cheval. A place steeped in a heritage that parodies arthurian legends and a certain legend known commonly as "the great lover."

New key characters

Princess Fleur du le fey
Fleur de lis's older sister and also an ambassador of Avalon, but stationed in Cheval. A child born during the war she has become a much harsher and stronger pony than her more ladylike sister. Often times shrewd and honest, she by nature avoids and despises the guile and subterfuge needed for politics, preferring to make her needs met with power and logic. White unicorn like her sister with the same build, but her fiery scarlet mane exudes a fierceness to all that see her. Her right eye is always covered by a black eye patch, an injury she received serving the frontlines during the war against Equestria. Her name translates to "Flower of the fey (fairies)" and is admired as an incarnation of the beauty of war.

Lance du lac
A noble of high standing in Cheval as he stands as heir to the dukedom of Seingalt. He is in intimate terms with Le Fey, or rather the only pony in the land brave enough to face her in the combat of conversation. Their relationship is cordial at best, but he is adamant in wanting stay by her side. Lance's name translate to "Lance of the lake", Lancelot's alternate name. A white unicorn with a midnight blue mane and silver eyes.

Grande Amour
La Mere's cousin and current duke of Seingalt. His name translates to "The great love."

Returning cast
La petite
The young love child of Fancypants and La mere. Returning to Cheval for the first time she must rapidly understand what it means to live a normal life in a foreign land. With ponies conspiring and scheming around her, she soon will need to begin deciding for herself what she wants what's best for herself, and in doing so decide the fate of all the people in the land.

Fleur de lis.
Name translates to "flower of the lily" (just fyi). Returning to Cheval for the first time in a long time she must navigate the seedy political world for the sake of the ones she loves. She is willing to do anything, from blackmail, seduction and murder to get her way. Everything in the name of love.

Prince Blueblood
As a prince of Equestria he in many respects holds a power over Cheval equal to Celestia herself, passing off as a figurehead who is on par with power with the duke of Seingalt himself. Arrogant and headstrong however, he will often flaunt his power at the distaste of those who are bitterly need to serve under him. His actions, reminders of Cheval's collar held by Equestria.

Know-it-all
La petite's former tutor and lover and master and slave. He holds a very close relationship with her as they share an intimate link involving each other's pain and pleasure. This has developed into a deep trust between them, that the stallion obsesses in theorising that his feelings are his love for the young mare. He travels with Red Cross his rival, so that they can find La petite and bring her under their protection. Although highly knowledgeable and skilled, he is quite naive and lacks in ambition and initiative to act. For now he's willing to accept Red Cross the leader of the pair, only until it ceases to be useful.

Red Cross
La petite's former councillor, physician and master. He is close friends with Fancypants but only to benefit his own career and pocket. Fancy trusted him as the family doctor for a time and developed an attachment to La petite. A former sadist and hedonist, he finds confusion in his feelings for the young mare. Often times the aloof go-getter, he uses people and resources around him to create himself a tactical advantage. He is often times ruthless and shameless, as he holds a double standard pride should there be a need for him to throw it away. But only if absolutely necessary.
