The Legend of Captain FireFly
PitOfCrazYiNest for Young Firefly
This character was a highly decorated veteran of the Pony/Griffon war that had circumstances been different would have destroyed Equestria. She was a hero as well as a sister, a mother, a friend, and many other roles. These two stories are journals that look at how she went from a hot-headed teen to where she ended up.
The Important Part: This particular role covers her early years where she goes through basic training and tries to fight her way into the military's elite. Also includes a line where she tries alternative means to show those unfair jerkwads that she has what it takes even if it means losing everything.
“Methinks I’ve overcome enough hardship in my life to not be afraid of one more, Sergeant Bone Deep! I will pass all tests and become the first mare to enter the Armored Guard, or my name is not Firefly!”
“Why should I?” I countered, showing my teeth and disrespect along with them. “Is your hearing as bad as your math, you useless mule? You heard me plainly. And I have had quite enough of your constant berating and yelling at me! You are, without a doubt, the most despicable, arrogant, misogynistic horse I have ever met… sir.” I spat the last word out.
Wait until that weakling Windshear sees me NOW! I thought, imagining the look on his face as he beheld me and realized he was now nothing to me. Taunt me… humiliate me… destroy my dreams… I’ll make you SUFFER for this! I silently swore with my thoughts, already imagining all the ways I would wreak vengeance upon him. I’ll repay you for everything you did to me… I will take back what is rightfully MINE!
