The Story:

On the night of the blood moon, the Witches strike a deal with their ancestor, Algol, to rain down terror upon and vanquish the pride of the ponies, the Alicorns- a race that unites them all. However, no one ever reads the fine print, and one simple request leads to them unleashing hell on all of Ponyland and unearthing monsters that should’ve never been unleashed. When Princess Majesty is called to the Alicorn land of Skyros to attend the Blessings Banquet as a delegate, the night becomes one she will never forget. As the clock strikes midnight, she watches in helpless horror as legions of the damned descend on the ponies all around, taking their fill. She barely made it out alive, but will never forget the screams of terror that continue to haunt her. With a vow in her heart to protect all that she holds dear, she seeks out a source of power older than time itself, and summons Spindle to grant her power in order that she may step into her place as a respected leader for the ponies. On her coronation day, she is crowned Queen- but at a cost. The power that she requested, unbeknownst to Majesty, was the combined magic and lives of the few remaining Alcorns that had somehow escaped that horrible night of the last Blessings Banquet so many years ago. 

Majesty, of course, did question why then she had birthed two foals….two alicorn foals…so many years after she had been crowned Queen.. It was highly unusual, especially considering that she never took a husband. Spindle was again summoned on the night of Luna’s birth, this time, not to solidify a contract, but for questioning. Again, much to Majesty’s horror, she learned the truth about the wish she had made as a filly had caused the extinction of the Alicorns, albeit temporarily. With Celestia and Luna born to her, they were a new start- a new beginning for the Alicorn race- so Spindle explained. Perhaps, too, a new beginning for many other things….

 

Princess Bellatrix “Trixie” Lulamoon

Bellatrix is the illegitimate daughter of Princess Luna and Star Hunter. She was conceived during a time when Luna had been grieving the loss of her sister, Celestia ( who had turned into Daybreaker from the loss of her son, Lucifer, who was banished to Tartarus, and thus she had to be banished to the sun.), and sought comfort from one of her trusted servants. When Bellatrix was born, in order to prevent a scandal, she was sent away to be cared for by Tempest Shadow- a battle hardened ex-captain of the Canterlot Royal Guard, who was now living in isolation at the borders of the Badlands. 

Bellatrix was technically born an alicorn, but has severely underdeveloped horn and wings, which are hidden beneath her hair and clothing. Her magic is unstable, and she chooses not to use it, as it causes her migraines. She has learned to rely on earth pony powers through the ground to manifest ancient energies that few ponies can fully utilize. Pinkie Pie visits often to teach her how to harness these abilities. 

The role of a Princess was never one she sought after, much to her Mother’s dismay. She just wasn’t cut out for ruling over other ponies, strict schedules, or weighty responsibilities. Instead, when the time came for royal guards to take her back to Canterlot to begin a proper Princess education to put her in line for succession to the throne, Tempest - respecting her decision-  fended them off while Bellatrix ran deep into the Badlands. It was there that she found herself being taken captive by members of an imp mafia run by Crimson, and sold to Cash Buckso, a wealthy Imp ringleader for profit. 

Life in the circus was where Bellatrix began calling herself by her stage name, “Trixie”, and where she also met and befriended Blitzo- a young imp with big dreams. It was only after meeting her that this imp’s love for horses was made manifest, to the point where it would later become an obsession. Trixie, on the other hand, would learn that fostering friendships with the damned could only result in disaster. In a tragic accident that set the entirety of the circus ablaze, she wound up trapped in the inferno- her hind leg pinned and crushed beneath a steel beam. She heard the panicked cries, the deafening explosions of the fireworks that had been accidentally set off in the chaos- and thought it was the end for her. Never did she expect for Buckzo to save both her and Fizarolli’s life that day- even though she, along with Blitzo’s best friend, were invaluable money makers to him. 

Trixie left the hospital with a prosthetic leg and abandoned circus life, after a fallout with Crimson. She then saddled up for life on the road as a street performer, turning tricks for tips. Little did she realize- the life of a trickster wasn’t all that life had in store for her….

 

Notes: Upon completely redesigning Trixie, I decided to give her a new backstory and drop her into a new AU while I was at it. While it is a mix of MLP and the Vivziepop’s Helluverse (iI decided to give her a look that sort of reflected Criss Angel, the goth magician, with a bit of inspiration from what I can only assume to be her g2 inspiration, that of the pony Trixiebelle- a jester. Her actual name became Bellatrix, to tie into her ties with Luna, but also being an anagram of Trixiebelle. I really also had to include a little bell as her earring as homage to her g2 pony inspo, just because it's a very subtle and adorable reference.

Just read through all of her backstory. Not only is the redesign amazing, but the story following it blends both universes seamlessly together. Well done!

thanks. It was an interesting challenge to incorporate both worlds, but with the inclusion of g1 MLP to tie into it, giving its grittier themes, made it a bit easier. I like how it turned out, myself also. (I will be adding further to Trixie's backstory- just left it as a cliffhanger for now)

Interesting, never expected Trixie to look that different
