How did you get your cutie mark!!

[General Solar Magus 471]

Cmone, you know you want to tell us .

 

Here's how I got mine.

 

My cutie mark is a pair of crossed swords.

 

As a young colt unicorn I had always loved waiting every year for the day when Cloudsdale flew above my home town which was north of Canterlot.

Most other ponies loved it because it brought along winter and all the winter fun to go with it.

As for me, well, I loved watching the Pegasus soldiers fly in orderly formations around Cloudale. They always looked so ready to protect their home if it was ever in need, and I always wondered how they would if it happened.

Ever since the first time I saw them, I've wanted to be a protector.

I enrolled at a fencing school (fencing is sword fighting) at my home town, and used my magic to hold the sword.

One day, when I was at the school after hours practicing on my own, the school was attacked by a pack of hungry changelings. I bravely stood in their way and defeated them one by one.

My Cutie mark appeared after the fight, and I knew then that I had to go further.

At a later age I moved to Canterlot, and studied war strategy at Canterlot University.

After graduation, I was appointed a general for exceptional marks.

Now I am a proud commander in the Equestria army.

Hi, @General Solar Magus! It appears that you are asking others to share how their OCs received their cutie marks. As your topic is not a game, I moved it to Sugarcube Corner among other MLP related threads that do not specifically address aspects of the show. Since there already is a recent thread on the same subject here, I will be locking this one. Your OC's backstory is intriguing, and I suggest making a character profile for him, which you can do in Roleplay World! Thank you.
