Rise and Shine- A Friendship is Magic Epic
ExplosionMare for Twilight Sparkle
Twilight Sparkle is the Monarch of Equestria, taking over from the former Princesses Celestia and Luna. Part of her role comes in the form of being effectively immortal. She will not die of old age at least not anytime soon (centuries or even millennia). This troubles her as she struggles to accept this in the light of the loss of her mother, and her dearest friends who are not getting any younger.
She is curious and inquisitive almost to a fault. She adores ex-Princess Celestia who was both a mentor and second mother figure in her life growing up. She is not always the easiest to talk to, is prone to anxiety and snark, and doesn't always appreciate things that she can't understand.
I am looking for someone who can bring a sense of both longing and loss to a character who is still trying to figure things out. She is sad, confused, scared, and much more besides, The only thing I don't want is over-done anime sadness (waterfall tears, screams of anguish, etc.)
“Come on,” she whispered anxiously, shifting on her hooves. “Where are you?”
“C-Celestia… Two weeks ago, my… my… M-my mother p-passed away…”
“She passed away in her sleep. She’d been fighting it for a while, but all of the strain she put on her body when she was younger and seeking all those thrills finally caught up to her… Dad’s still going strong, though. But… That’s not why I called you here.”“T-that’s why I called you here,” she whispered, her voice weak and pleading. “I want to know… I want your advice. How do I cope with it? H-how can I manage the grief? How do I make it hurt less?”
“You know, Celestia… I don’t think I know anything about your parents,” she said quietly.
“Oh my gosh,” Twilight breathed, leaning back. “I’m sorry. I had no idea…”
