While no pony was looking or present in the Crystal Brighthouse, Misty sometimes likes to pull out her old foal toys that her friends brought from her foalhood home in Bridlewood and other items she secretly bought to engage in littlespace or mental age regression (she is still an adult but has the headspace of a filly) to help her relax.

On this particular day, she was regressed to a 1-2 year old filly in her headspace and because she felt that small, she put her mane in the old mane style her dad use to put her mane in. She also put on a Zephyr Heights’ brand adult sized pullup and sucking on a pacifier. The pullup is for comfort, but she does have accidents when in her small headspace. At this point, no pony knows yet, but sooner or later, they’re going to find out.

Misty does this due to the trauma she endured from all these years from being with Opaline, and as a coping mechanism, she regresses to a young mindset. She was very young when she got lost after all and never really learned healthy ways to deal with things. So the only way was regressing. It’s something she’s done her whole life, but before she was freed officially, she didn’t wear padding or suck on a pacifier. The only thing she had for comfort was her blanket and a couple of stuff toys.
