day 7 is favourite unpopular character - and i find like, a lot of ppl dont like flurry heart? are rather didnt, it seems more ppl didnt like it when she was initially shown. i mean ngl my gut reaction was to go “what to heck” but like, it seems more like ppl disliked her for ruining alicorn headcanons. but like u gotta werk with it
anyway flurry is kinda an important character in my AU so i thought id double this as a headcanon piece, so lets go
(side note the proportions are kinda funky on this one, her heads way too big)
i kinda have this hc that born alicorns are magical anomolies, and of those that are born, very few survive infancy. there’s way too magic running through them for their little bodies to handle, often resulting in an intense sickness. it happened to flurry heart, and later on it happens to lucky wish
but of course, after surviving the harsh few months, flurry heart had a massive surge in controllable magical energy (as did lucky, see here:
)
. she caused so much trouble for her parents lemme tell ya
flurry is a sweet, playful princess - but kinda (very) ditzy. she’s working hard to curve her spacey tendancies, especially in princess training, but she very quickly gets on her diligant tutors nerves - and sometimes her parents, but they’d never admit it. i see her sorta like kiara from tlk 2, or maybe a touch of Aimee from sex education
flurry heart is loved and spoiled by her grandma velvet. she looks forward eagerly to her grandmother’s visits as a foal, and the subsequent gifts and attentions that come with it.
Though she’s an airhead, she’s not completely oblivious to her grandmother’s attitude to auntie twili and her cousins. she loves auntie twili, and loves to play with summer and birdie - but every time she sees them together, velvet is cold and eager to steer her away from them. she can’t fully understand why as a foal- she’s fairly sheltered, and doesnt understand that sometimes ponies have less than good intentions… but like most things, she doesnt think much of it
It isn’t until she’s older does she start to take note. She’s an adult when Lucky is born, and loves to take care of her and play with her, as an aunt figure - and this time, she’s wised up to the way her grandmother is acting. she doesnt fully understand why, and goes to her parents for an explanaton - and once she finds out, she’s far from pleased, and is quick to speak up about it
other bits:
im not unique in this hc but like cadence, shining, and flurry have a strong connection to the crystal heart, and subsequently get all shiny and glittery like crystal ponies (i kinda had trouble showing the effect in a way i like, SAI 2 has some cool effect brushes so i might find something that works better than this eventually)
i know in canon flurry has big ass wings, but i think i prefer like, kinda smaller wings that enable her to zip about with a lot more control, like a hummingbird
jewlery is worn more in the crystal empire as like a symbol status? guards and ponies working in the court will wear them particularly on duty
you cant see it under the shimmery effects but she has a lil heart on her forehead. ive drawn it before on older drawings of flurry, like here:
