Bio: [Sorry for any grammatical mistakes]
Cuddy was born in the Natterera Kingdom 17 years before Lunas Banishment. She was one daughter of Aries and Syrinx. These were times when the Kingdom was developing rapidly, so you can say that she lived richly. She got her cutie mark while playing with her dad where they pretended to be a battle - a spear with the sun. At that time, she didn’t understand the meaning of her cutie mark then. Her dad was slightly worried about this cutie mark, because there were almost never bats with a sun mark. On the same day, her mother brought home a pony that turned out to be her new adoptive sister - Souvenir. Syrinx found her in forest when she came back from work. Cuddy didn’t like her very much because she had to share everything with Souvenir since then. Cuddy often teased her. Generally, Cuddy’s childhood was normal, nothing out of the ordinary. Years later, everything started to go wrong. Luna began to hate her sister more and more. She convinced bats to help her take over Equestria in that they would have a bright future ahead, more lands to live in, etc. Then Luna created her first army which Aries commanded. Cuddy, through her father’s influence, also joined the army, blindly believing in the power of Luna.
Syrinx was afraid for her family and the one who lived in Equestria. She tried to persuade Aries to move to Equestria with the children and leave an army. But Aries, as a staunch supporter of the Princess of the Night, refused. A quite serious quarrel broke out, which ended with the fact that Syrinx and Souvenir returned to Equestria and Cuddy was looked after by her father. Cuddy stayed with her father willingly, she wanted to serve Luna.
Queen of Natterera Leisleri didn’t support Luna’s plans, she wanted to live the way she used to. Unfortunately, she failed to convince the bats that they would not do it. Leisleri was the type of shy and not assertive ruler, so she had problems with speeches.
Later, Luna transformed into Nightmare Moon [What wasn’t in plans] and was banished to the moon. The broken bats uttered the war of Equestria in which Cuddy took part. She even had her own branch, which she liked to insult them and exalt herself. Bats were sure to win because Celestia had no army. They were wrong. In the meantime, an army of Earth Ponies, Unicorns and Pegasus formed [E.U.P] Bats were defeated. Some were taken prisoner, including Cuddy. Cuddy was caught on her own stupid. Her branch predicted a loss and wanted to return to Natterera before someone would be killed unnecessarily but Cuddy told them to stay and fight, because otherwise they would suffer a severe punishment for not following orders. Well… they told her to f*ck and they left, leaving Cuddy alone on the battlefield. She was wounded by a unicorn and led to a castle where she was sent to prison. Cuddy shouted abruptly to let her go. She was terrified, she didn’t know why they were holding her and what they wanted to do with her. Days passed, weeks, Cuddy, at the order of Celestia got food. Although the ponies were reluctant to give it to her. In the end, Celestia herself came to her. Cuddy usually joked about her and liked to pretend that she defeated Celestia and became Princess. At that moment, it was different. For the first time, Cuddy felt a great fear of high alicorn. She wouldn’t be able to make fun of her now. Celestia didn’t want to hurt her, however. She felt compassion that Cuddy had to take part in the war at such a young age.
Celestia promised Cuddy a better life that she wouldn’t have to fight anymore and live in fear. Cuddy, however, didn’t trust Celestia after what she had been taught and was still a follower of Luna, but there was something in the Princess’s words, which nevertheless made her trust her a little. [She would also be free at last and could escape at any moment].
Uncertainly, she gave Celestia the hoof and smiled uncertainly. In the castle, she wasn’t very welcome by other ponies, but on Celestia’s orders they would not hurt her. At first Cuddy was quiet and didn’t want to talk to anyone. She felt the eyes of the ponies around her. She had moments when she wanted to go back to Natterera but something kept her at the castle. She began to see the difference between life there and here. She began to realize that her whole life was not life. With time, however, she managed to make friends with the ponies in the castle [Usually they were ponies trained for guards and orphans].
One of her friends pulled her out of the castle to go to a nearby restaurant. Cuddy was afraid to go because she didn’t know how the ponies would react to her, so she dressed so that her wings couldn’t be seen and covered her eyes with sunglasses. There she met Amalia. They met when Cuddy accidentally destroyed her cards that were lying on the table and Amalia began to make a drama about it. Of course, she did it only for jokes to piss off Cuddy. Cuddy ran out from the bar but Amalia ran after her trying to get along.
Amalia generally knew what breed was Cuddy [Well, her disguise didn’t work out :b] Their relationship was initially quite tense but with time they began to get along better. [Although there were still situations when they were arguing]
Amalia also helped Cuddy reconcile with her sister. Amalia met her at Baltimare when she was there on an organized chess tournament. Meeting Cuddy with Souvenir ended in an argument. They didn’t want to see each other. Cuddy was also mad at Amalia for bringing Souvenir. Amalia, however, tried to convince Cuddy that they should reconcile, because one day there might be no opportunity anymore, it may also be too late and living with the knowledge that she wouldn’t unite with family would be terrible.
Cuddy finally succumbed to Amalia and went to Baltimare’s Forest, where Souvenir lived with her mother and grandparents. Cuddy, stressed out, went to the door and knocked. Syrinx appeared in the door. She couldn’t believe that she sees her daughter after all these years. Cuddy hugged her mother, crying and didn’t let her out for a few minutes. Then she tried to talk to Souvenir. She knew that apologies weren’t enough for everything she had done to her, but she dared to say “sorry”. Souvenir still wasn’t friendly to her but she decided to forgive her because further argument wouldn’t make sense. Cuddy decided to move from the castle to Baltimare to make up for the lost time.
For 3 years, Cuddy lived very well, the ponies were trying to live as they once did, as if the war had never happened. Unfortunately, the bats didn’t give up so easily. After the abdication and escape of Leisleri from Natterera and banishment of Luna, they had to take matters into their own hooves. They made better and better weapons, they trained hard, they made an alliance with griffons. There were also ponies that supported Luna and joined the bats.
All this was commanded by Aries. He was blinded by revenge for banishment Luna and killing Cuddy. [She was found dead] Leisleri’s daughter was also important in this story. They devised the ideal plan that they implemented during the 3 Fifth Celestial Year Of Peace.
Cuddy decided to act. She thought she was able to restore peace. So she embarked on a journey together with Souvenir,Amalia [She broke off acquaintance because of a certain event and their next meeting was accidental] and a pair of ponies [and Griffon] that she met along the way.
Additional information about Natterera: Natterera was created in the areas once belonging to unicorns inhabiting the western territories of the land. Bats fought for those areas with tribes of unicorns until a certain natural disaster wiped out the village and the unicorns themselves from the face of the earth. Bats took over these areas and built their own town on them. For years, however, they didn’t create a powerful kingdom because of their distrust of other species and the lack of mineral resources. The situation changed completely when Princess Luna came to the falling Kingdom. Natterer has since become one of the most powerful Kingdoms in the west. The Kingdom, however, through lost wars that were conducted with Equestria, was completely destroyed and its areas were incorporated into Equestria.
