Artist’s Description
 
Infant: Incredibly smaller than average foals, but very strong. Lady was given the name “Ladybug” for her size at birth. She was very quiet most of the time, but she always smiled when looking at her mother Crystal and her father, Claudis. When Crystal brought Lady to her home village, she was quickly shut out by her mother for having a half-dragon spawn. However, Crystal’s father agreed to help Crystal provide for herself and the small foal, on the condition (and safety measure) that Crystal never bring Lady to the village, or any village, ever again.
 
3-5: Curious with a strong sense of adventure, Lady found everything outside her family cave to be very interesting. She spent most of the day gathering fruit and herbs with her mother, while Claudis slept. Although adventure was everywhere, Lady always stayed clear of the villages near the forest.
 
One day, Lady saw a black and white figure on the beach. A wounded orca sea pony, a very young one… Seeing that it as bleeding out, Crystal brought the child home. With the medical training she had, she safely performed a blood transfusion after Lady volunteered to donate her blood. When the seapony regained consciousness, it for them his name was Mako, and that his parents were dead. Lady insisted right away that Mako stay with them. Even though the knowledge sea ponies was so limited at the time, Crystal agreed. Mako and Lady had become brother and sister.
 
10- late 100: Lady was more dominant and fierce than her passive adopted brother Mako. After Crystal passed away, Lady and Mako gathered food and herbs together, while Claudis guarded the cave. Their presence in the forest was well known by the surrounding villages, which made them targets. When trespassers came looking for them to hunt them, Lady was more willing to fight them off. Once a fight started, Mako assisted. Both were very strong and quick on their hooves/paws. However, during the time Mako was with her, there was only one time that trespassers had to be taken care of….. Permanently……. Neither of them took comfort inn what they did to stay alive. Even though she was more willing to fight for her life, Lady never liked hurting anyone. Late at night, she’d cry for the ponies she injured, praying they didn’t die from their wounds.
 
During a terrible storm, Mako was swepped out to sea, and Lady was left alone with Claudis. Without him, Lady felt she lost half of who she was. For a while, she hardly ate or slept waiting for Mako to come back. Eventually, Lady had to come to the conclusion that Mako was gone forever…
 
100- 250: Lady grew stronger and more violent towards trespassing villagers. The longer she stayed alive, the longer ponies targeted her and her home. For a while she relocated.
 
250- late 400: By chance of fate, Lady was captured by a royal guard, but then released. The guard good her she was not worth hurting, seeing how she lived. It was the first act of kindness Lady ever saw from ponies from the villages. During a hunt, she saw the same guard again…. And again on another hunt…. And again, and again, and again. Eventually, the two fell for each other and married. Lady had one child by the guard, a son she named Seer Cyclone. Sadly, the guard died some time before Seer was born. Lady was struck with grief, returning to her old family cave. For a while, she couldn’t bring herself to do anything her herself or the child. Claudis couldn’t watch his little Ladybug in such pain, or see Seer suffer along with her. Out of a gut feeling, Claudis erased the memory of the guard from Lady’s mind, leaving only the fact that he was a pegasus. With no memory of her lost spouse, Lady care for Seer, who also sadly passed away months later, having discovered to have inherited a gene that caused rapid aging. Lady tried to stop it, but magic only made things worse.
 
Lady soon had to move on, however heartbreaking. She couldn’t stand living the way she did any longer. Using the skills and learned over her lifetimes, she successfully snuck into Canterlot Castle, stealing valuable items. One night she was being followed, losing her horn and a piece of her ear when the princess of the sun confronted her. The battle didn’t last long, as Claudis interfered, leading the attention away from Lady so she could escape. Claudis was taken and locked away…
 
400-early 500: the older she became, Lady grew more bitter towards ponies. Unfortunately, her feelings towards them did not matter during a particular time period…. When nearing the age of 500, Lady gave birth to two foals, a male pegasus, and a female unicorn, who she named Daniel Dasher and Annie Belle. The two twins also inherited the rapid aging gene, but Lady chose not to tamper with it… Instead, she once again snuck into a small town called Ponyville, taking what she needed at night to provide and raise her two children.
 
One night, she was followed home by a strange pony named Xhisrc, and princess Sparkle, who had been looking into the unusual thefts happening. After an extended visit, Xhisrc convinced Lady to return to Ponyville with him, so she could raise her children in a friendlier environment, promising they’d be safe.
