Void Prism remastered (Old OC redraw thingy)

I thought I'd revisit an old OC while I was showing my boyfriend my old fursonas back from my amino days. I came across an OC I made as my primary Equestria amino sona when I was 16. I recall her having an insane amount of lore, but I kind of forgot what it was all about, so I'll try to rewrite her lore from scratch using intuition.

Through my initial design of this specific OC, I originally made her to intentionally be a mary-sue, and went as freely with her colors as I wanted her to be. I was inspired by a video where it was basically encouraging people to make Mary-sue OCs, because it's genuinely fun, we have free will, and cringe culture needed to die. I've since forgotten what the video name was (whoops,) but it still lives in my head rent free. I know I wanted Void Prism to be some sort of changeling queen that defected from Chrysalis, but I think I forgot that changelings don't get cutie marks, and their horns are distinctly different from regular ponies, along with the bug-like design that goes way farther than just having bug wings. She was also created before I even knew any existence of the Thorax saga, so I had no clue of the reason why changelings had holes in their legs and manes.

When I redesigned her, I decided Prism would be distinctly moth-like to set her apart from both Chrysalis' and Thorax's kingdoms. She is now also more of a genetically modified changeling, hence the dark sclera and hole-less exoskeleton. I moved the prism cutie mark to now be triangle motifs on her wings. I also decided to ditch the rainbow wing aspect, as it made the whole design feel too busy to have rainbow wings, gradient limbs two-toned jewelry, and gradient hair. I also dropped the heterochromia eyes for the same reason. I kept the X pupil, though, specifically so I could slip the triple affirmative into her design. I really didn't think the pastel pink-blue colors really fit with her personality, and unified it between purple, cyan, and dark blue. Void Prism is also now just a placeholder name for her. I guess my redesign of this old OC is also just creating a completely new OC out of it. I want to think of a better name than just "Void Prism" but I don't really have much ideas.

The "genetically modified" part of her whole design/lore stems from the idea that instead of eating love, her and her subjects consume color, or separated wavelengths of light. This light needs to be trapped in a living creature in order to be edible, sort of like a color-vampire deal, which makes Prismatic Changelings just as dangerous to ponies as an unreformed changeling. Prismatic changelings have a proboscis in place of a tongue to extract these colors. After drinking colors, the living creature that they obtained it from will look grayscale and lose their ability to feel emotion until color is returned to them.
