Background Pony #1EC5

Hm… It seems as if someone had really thought a lot about it. That’s nice. I like such background stories, but you could have omitted some details for my taste. ;-)
 
Well, definitely very creative, although I myself tend to like the hive structure of the Changelings in Equestria at War a little bit more. :-D

This is a canon from before Chrysalis ascended to rule over the Changelings, back when Chrysalis herself was just a Proto-Queen: one of several that governed over the different Castes that the Changelings were all divided into: Infiltrators, Foragers, Minders, Berserkers, etc., Chrysalis in-particular was the Proto-Queen in charge over the Minder Caste. The Minder Castes job in the Hive was to tend to the needs and wants of the various Hatchlings and Nymphs, as well as watch over young ponies that the Hive might have captured for sustenance, and even though Chrysalis did indeed prefer to use the Coccooning method to deal with their enemies, compared to the likes of Proto-Queens Echo and Mirage; Chrysalis stood out as arguably one of the NICEST Proto-Queens (by Changeling Standards) in that very rarely did she ever resort to violence or bloodshed except only as an absolute last resort, something which her more aggressive and blood-hungry siblings considered to be a sign of cowardice and weakness in the Hive multiple times, Echo and Mirage among the many other Proto-Queens all had a hunger for battle and carnage, often their Castes lifestyles mimicked the very same monstrous attitudes and beliefs of their respective Proto-Queens.  
In the Hive, the Proto-Queens are all considered to be lesser than that of the Queen in that they are considered to be among the only fertile Female Changelings in the Hive due to the confluence and uniqueness of their own birth: unlike regular Changeling Drone Eggs which are lain in Clutches and tended to by those of the Minder Caste in specialized Alcoves designated for the Proto-Queens whom had lain the Eggs in the first place, Proto-Queen Eggs are not lain and are instead tucked away into a “womb-like” pouch located deep within the Queens oviduct and is saturated by intense and continuous Emotional Energy until it hatches, afterwards the Queen pushes the newly-hatched Proto-Queen Nymph out in a fashion similar to how ponies give birth. To maintain authority within the Hive and dictate importance towards the Queen, the Proto-Queens are all encouraged to actively fight against one-another in order to try garnering power and support from the Queen for who is the most ruthless of her daughters. Chrysalis was an outlier in that she wasn’t that ambitious, which often left her beneath notice most of the time. Essentially, Proto-Queen Chrysalis was considered to be the Changelings’ own version of Fluttershy.
 
There was only one Changeling who noticed Proto-Queen Chrysalis and took an interest in her demure and kind attitude, who respected her cautious behavior, and admired her care towards Hatchlings and Nymphs.  
Pharynx, a Changeling Drone whom belonged to Proto-Queen Mirages’ Infiltrator Caste (identified by their vibrant purple eye-color). Pharynx was among the small number of Male Drones who evaded detection by the Proto-Queens who scoured their clutches for viable Male Drones to be put into the Breeding Caste (similar to the Minder Caste, the Breeder Caste is essential in the continued survival of the Hive, made up by the entirety of Male Changelings that dwelled within the Hive who were fertile, however the Breeding Caste is highly secluded and pro5ected often located in the deepest part of the Hive closest to that of the Queens’ chambers and that only the Queen and Proto-Queens are allowed to know who dwells there.)

Proto-Queen, yes, daughter of Chrysalis, certainly. But a descendant of Pharynx? I may doubt that. In any case, her personality is more similar to that of King Thorax. ;-)

Snugs are Drugs for Bugs
I love to think that in the modern changeling hive, the hive leaders act similarly to parents towards all the hive’s nymphs, whether they’re biologically their direct offspring or not. 😊 Similar to how a lot of mammal groups are looked after by thier leader. Thorax would excel at this but I think Pharynx would be a part of it as well, I like to think he has a soft spot for kids.
 
So whether or not Ocellus is a child of Pharynx or Thorax, cute concepts like this are totally possible, for me.
