Gustav The Changeling

By Johny Farenheit

• July 27, 2012

Age: Unknown

Gender: Male

Species: Non-Pony

Appearance: He takes the appearance of a light blue earth pony, with a straight mane ending in black tips, his eyes ice-blue, and his tail wavy like a waterfall. His changeling form is quite the norm, a simple changeling drone.

Cutie Mark: His cutie mark could change at any moment, but he keeps it as a pure white mask, a shameful symbol of the masks he can wear at any moment.

Personality: He is a creature of ambition, seeking to live among ponies without the help of anypony else. He constructed a basic form for himself, just an earth pony mask. He carries shame for what he is, resentment that he was not born a pony of any kind. He has little charm, and often stumbles on his words, but for the love he needs, he will earn it fairly. He loves ponies of any kind, wants to be like them, share in their rich lives, always seeking to do something for somepony just to peer a little deeper into their lives. He's eager to make friends, and more eager still to attempt a relationship.

Backstory: Greed pushed him away from his queen to set off into the world. He was jealous of every other pony, jealous of the lives they lead, not just the love they all had. Through years of honing this jealousy and spite into willpower, he broke his obedience to Queen Chrysalis, obeying until he was sent on a mission to fill in for a pony noble. Once he was in-between the noble's house and the hive, he simply walked off, wandering away from his old life.
