1.) Peachy Keen and Thunder Frost were fast friends and have known each other since… forever, really. Thanks to Pinkie and Rainbow being friends, these two also ended up becoming friends and spent a lot of time with each other. However, because their parents are both very busy, it wasn’t really at their houses that they got to hang out. So, they went to Auntie Fluttershy’s, who was always welcome to see them. Animal care became an enjoyable hobby for both of them. While Thunder Frost still works with Fluttershy, even into adulthood, Peachy Keen found her way in nursing and eventually became an employee of the Ponyville Daycare. Still, she’s always willing to lend a helping hoof to her best friend, especially when it comes to transporting a basket of noodles to their new heating rocks.
The cockatoo is Thunder Frost’s pet. He named them Arula, or Ari for short. When Thunder Frost doesn’t have any friends around, he always has Arula.
2.) Haha Nice Ass.
Ahem
Tempest Shadow, war battered unicorn mare, joined the Royal Guard at a young age. She lied about her age to join, eager to get away from her crappy little town that was falling apart around itself. Its not like she had any ties keeping here there. At 16, she lied and made her way to Canterlot to begin training. That’s where she found her true calling, and even met Shining Armor. And his family. Shining and Tempest became fast and close friends. She appreciated that he never seemed to look down on her for being a mare, the way some pleebs in the guard did. And as Shining rose through the ranks, Tempest followed close on his heels until he was at the top and she was a rung below him on the ladder. She was sad when he retired, even if it did make her commanding officer. Still, she was happy to watch him move on with his life and his new wife, and had promised to keep an eye on his family for him. And is she ever. Trixie Lulamoon, sister of Shining Armor, is a spoiled high society mare with an attitude and a narcissism streak a mile wide. And Tempest loves to bicker with her. Originally, back when they were younger and Tempest was hanging out with Shining, it was very much so brother’s best friend vs brother’s little sister with all their conversations. Trixie was possessive, ignorant, and egotistical. She didn’t understand why her brother needed friends who were mares, and she held this same attitude towards Twilight when she came into the picture. Tempest, on the other hoof, had always been a little infatuated with Trixie, and continued to pursue her. It took awhile for their relationship to reach any point of interest, but they do have a couple kids together. Still, Trixie maintains that their relationship is strictly business, even if that business created two kids. They live separately, they aren’t married, and usually Tempest only sees Trixie in passing unless they hunt each other down. But Tempest is okay with this. She’s very busy, after all.
3.) Three friends making their way downtown, walking fast. A draconequus, an earth pony, and a unicorn all walk into a bar. The local child of Discord(there might be more but not even he knows) spends a lot of time in Ponyville thanks to their other parent’s very close relationship to a couple ponies in Ponyville. No one truly knows their name, not even Discord, since it’s ever changing and chaotically spelled. Actually, no one knows much about the younger draconequus. No name, no gender, nothing. It’s unclear how powerful of a being they are, but it’s a scary amount when presented. Because of this, most ponies call them “Enigma”. Enigma is a creature of unknown strength, power, original, name, etc. The only thing that doesn’t change about them, on average, is their appearance even though they can manifest and change that too. Even though they have bringer of the apocalypse magic they… don’t really use it much. Not even on themself or to make things appear, nothing. It’s almost like they portray a sense of… normalcy that clashes with their very nature and makes a mess of a creature that gives off bad vibes. Really, they only have a couple friends. Like their psuedo-cousin, Victorian Gears, or Victoria. Victoria and Enigma have been friends forever, back when Enigma was just a cub(even though that wasn’t long ago at all). Victoria enjoys her role as older cousin, and is thankful for Enigma’s help with any tinkering or inventioning or what have yous. It’s also how she met Comic Wave. The retro geeky pony was interested in the little moving toys that Victoria was creating, and was all too eager to help play with it and work with the wires. They were the odd trio out, sitting in the playground, playing with moving bits and bobbles. Enigma might’ve also scared most of their other possible friends away, they’re an oddity.
