Personality
Sweet, friendly, and diplomatic, Flurry Heart is well beloved by the people of the Crystal Empire. Although she takes great pride in her royal position, she takes great care to remind her subjects and friends that she’s a normal pony. She’s a happy-go-lucky filly who loves things like romantic movies, amusement parks, and strawberry milkshakes. Some ponies see her as a bit of a ditz, but despite her almost saccharinely kind and emotional personality, Flurry is very capable of putting her hoof down when need be. She’s well aware of how powerful she is and has a healthy self esteem (maybe a little too healthy sometimes).

Background
Flurry Heart is the daughter of Princess Cadance and Prince Shining Armor, and her parents’ favorite pony in the entire world. From birth her parents adored her, and she had a big, healthy family, who always taught and encouraged her to be the best pony she could be.
She was also born an alicorn, and an extremely powerful one at that. Even as a newborn she could fire potent magic from her horn, and was had giant wings for an infant. She gave her parents a lot of trouble (it’s hard enough even having a baby, but a baby that can fly and shoot magic is ridiculous), but even then, they were excited about her potential. Their daughter was amazing! She was going to be the next ruler of the Crystal Empire!
Despite her incredible power, she was enrolled in public school at the suggestion of her aunt Twilight, to ensure that she made friends and had a social life like any other filly. But, of course, she wasn’t like any other filly. Though she made friends, and was well liked for being kind, she was always treated with a special kind of respect and awe that nopony else got. She didn’t quite notice it at first, but as she grew older and it became obvious, the weight of her responsibilities began to dawn on her. She was going to be the next ruler of the Crystal Empire. That’s a big deal. She couldn’t do that. She always stood and looked pretty next to her parents, yeah that was fine, but actually rule an entire Empire? Like her parents did? She couldn’t possibly do that!
Flurry got nervous. She began to rely heavily on her parents for guidance, suddenly asking a lot of political questions, following her mother around to see how she held herself. Her fun-loving personality had to go. She started to reinvent herself around being a leader, being the Princess. She was never one for reading, but suddenly she was poring over huge books about royalty and leadership. She didn’t have much time for hanging out with her friends anymore.
Although they approved of her trying to prepare herself, her parents were concerned about their daughter’s anxiety. They did their best to soothe her, and her aunt Twilight, understanding the stress of becoming a leader, stepped in to give her some additional guidance. Her time as a ruler was a long time coming, and Twilight wanted her to experience life as a filly first. There was more to her than just being the Princess- she was Flurry Heart, and she didn’t want her to forget that.
Flurry struggled over herself for a long time. She wanted to be who she had always been, but she didn’t have the same kind of calm power her parents did. She didn’t feel like who she was and who she was destined to be were compatible. When she finally became totally comfortable with herself and found that perfect balance, in her later teens, is when she earned her cutie mark.
It wasn’t anything special that she was doing, she had thought, just giving herself a pep talk in the mirror, when suddenly she felt a warm glow from her flank. And there it was! Her cutie mark!
She was overjoyed, and her family couldn’t be prouder. Now, not only was she going to be the ruler of the Crystal Empire, but she had her own title: The Princess of Self Love. She was soothed to have something that tied her true self and her role as a leader together so smoothly, and faced her destiny from then on with a new confidence, hoping to inspire that same confidence in her friends and subjects.

Relationships

Although she has a close relationship with both of parents, Flurry always looked to Cadance especially as a role model. She admires her both as a ruler and as a mother.

Similarly, she admires her aunt Twilight, and adores her uncle and royal crystaller Sunburst, who both taught her everything they knew about magic (which was a LOT. Almost too much. Please Auntie Twilight I already know like three other spells just like this one!!). Though they love each other, Flurry occasionally got frustrated with her aunt and uncle over their emphasis on academics and studying.

She has a strange, cautious friendship with Delirium, the son of Discord and King Sombra. There’s obvious reasons why she shouldn’t trust him, and she’s been warned against it, but he’s just so sweet… A creature isn’t determined by their past, or their parent’s pasts, right? Her parents disapprove of her friendship with Delirium, which only ignites her alliance to him stronger. How could they be so callous?
