Being the princess of the night, Luna was also the princess to the bat ponies. There are many traditions between her and the ponies of the night that were rekindled after her return.  
One of them was her visit to the bat pony colony under Canterlot, to welcome the newborn foals of that year. It was never had any funfair, Luna went quietly, usually without her royal garb. Every year she holds the small ones and blesses them in the name of the Moon. It was a beloved tradition of the colony, and they were loyal subjects to the princess for centuries, Luna happily did this for them.
 
This significant year was like any other prier ones. The night came, Luna put on her robe and headed out on her own to the bat pony capital’s hospital. And there were all the young foals, big and small, waiting to be blessed by their princess.  
However, one of them caught the eyes of the princess. It was a small filly, probably wasn’t even a month old. She had grey fur and dark mane and tail. She has some white markings on her coat, one of them in a shape of a star on her chest.
 
She took the filly in to her arms, just like the others. That’s when she heard the sad backstory from one of the doctors. Mother died at birth. A possible father is unknown. The foal was practically an orphan.  
When the filly snuggled up to Luna, something hit the princess. Looking back on it, it may have happened in the heat of the moment, without Luna thinking it through. Who really knows. What matter is what happened after.
 
Luna decided. The little filly coming back to Canterlot with her.
 

 
So yeah, this is a drawing of how Luna adopted a little bat pony foal. Her name is Stella. Design-wise her name come from the star spot on her chest and because it fits with Luna’s name.
 
There’s a bunch of other story stuff, but those will be coming with other drawings.
 

 
I actually teased her a bit in a drawing I did back in 2019 (the one I drew for Halloween) , but I’m pretty sure I created this piece way back in 2018.
 
I actually have a bunch of drawings for my AU ready to be uploaded, but I need to write some story blurb for them. Which always takes me quite some time (like hours, most of the time) , because they always end up pretty long, also because writing long text were never my talent.^{’’ And so many times I realize, I could have wrote down everything in a simple way.  
Also, so MANY other times I overthink, wether or not I want to bring my AU in a certain direction, instead of winging it and just do what I wanna do. So I kinda end up not wanna do it. I’m really bad with procrastinating. X’D
 
So yeah, lot of times drawing just sitting there waiting to be uploaded, but I’ll try to upload most of them in the coming weeks. If I’m succeeded, there will be a bunch of drawing coming up. Hopefully.}’’’’’
