Here, we have Adagio starting over with a new life and a new line of work. And what if this was her “natural” hair, and the cheese-poof was just for show?
In my head-canon, she loves fine clothing and expensive wines, so if/when she finally comes around to understanding friendship and looking for a new purpose in life, why not get something going with Rarity at her boutique? Though, of course, she’d never be able to fully shed that prideful snark. Hence her expression here. ;)
Inspired by Adagio’s time as “Ballad” from http://www.fimfiction.net/story/227470/the-evening-sonata.
I chose the natural hair color here to match her show-accurate eyebrow color.
