MLP G5: Skyros AU

An au where I focus on Opaline, Celestia and Luna’s childhood in Skyros and add onto g5’s alicorn lore with my own. I went for anthro since I really wanted to draw ancient greek fashion but I’ll probably switch between anthro/pony

Celestia, a Celestial Alicorn. Her exemplary magical prowess and her status as a Celestial Alicorn has caused many to expect glorious things from her. And as a starry-eyed teenager, she proudly hopes to exceed their expectations. A intelligent and social pony who hides her quirks in order to appear perfect. Incredibly popular. She holds a bit of contempt for the way Skyros looks down on non-alicorns and hopes to one day meet other ponies outside of Skyros.

Luna, a Celestial Alicorn. At this moment Luna is content with her sister taking on all the responsibility and attention from being a Celestial Alicorn. She spends her time playing sports. A easy going and prideful pony who hates to lose.

Opaline, a Elemental Alicorn. Fire alicorns are considered great warriors, they have larger, curved horns and bigger wings meant for fighting. Opaline however wants to be known for so much more then just being a pawn in the battlefield. She wants to lead Skyros. But no matter what she does her personality has caused many to avoid and distrust her. Her inferiority complex for being a Fire Alicorn has caused her to believe that the two sisters hate and mock her behind her back. When all they really think of her is that she’s weird.

INFO

SKYROS: A city in the sky with a bunch of alicorns disconnected with the plights of earth ponies, unicorns and pegasi. They are pompous isolationists who don’t care for anyone but themselves.

Celestial Alicorns: The most powerful type of alicorn of them all. Able to be in tune with the stars and the universe.

They have longer lives than other alicorns and thus are trained and expected to be leaders.

[Celestia and Luna]

Blessed Alicorns: Ponies gifted alicornhood by a unknown force. Though some wise alicorns are able to pinpoint what pony MAY be gifted alicornhood. No one has truly been able to figure out WHY it happens.

In Skyros, there’s a fringe belief that these alicorns are prophets and their alicornhood is sign of a new age.

Blessed Alicorns have slightly longer lifespan than the avg pony.

[Twilight, Sunny and Cadance]

Elemental Alicorns: Alicorns in tune with the elements. These alicorns are the most common alicorn in Skyros, they keep the world running and shouldn’t be underestimated. They’re often farmers, artists or warriors.

Elemental Alicorns have longer lifespans then a Blessed Alicorn.
