So in making Cassieverse my main project, I wanted to introduce the main characters of the story. These will be the characters whose storylines will be followed most closely. A little description on each of them below, from left to right.
Cassiopeia (Cassie)
Daughter of Princess Twilight Sparkle and Commander Tempest Shadow
Alicorn, has a bit of a scruffier appearance than other alicorns
Banished from Equestria for her crimes against the royal family
Currently living in the far east, beyond mapped Equestria
A powerful magic user, but has little to no control
In one of these uncontrolled bursts of magic, she blew off Flurry Heart’s horn
Roams freely and doesn’t stay in one place for too long to avoid being recognized
Not a true alicorn (does not possess the magic of all three pony races- only possesses unicorn and earth pony magic)
Due to a lack of pegasus magic, she can’t fly well at all
Does not intend on returning to Equestria. Her guilt over what she did to Flurry Heart keeps her outcast in shame
The shortest alicorn of the next generation
Can disguise her appearance and appear as a unicorn or an earth pony
Panther (originally Moonfall)
Son of Princess Luna and King Sombra
His birth was kept secret from all- the only living pony to know of his existence is Luna
Loved by his mother, but also brought shame to her, given that she had coupled with a tyrant (Sombra) to have him
Abandoned in the western woods by Luna on his sixth birthday
Rescued by a western zebra, and raised with the tribe
Earned the name “Panther” by killing the black panthers that plagued the tribe. Shed his given name, Moonfall, with no hesitation
The oldest of the alicorns, and skinniest (lack of food supply in the far west)
The only true born alicorn (possess all pony race traits)
Magic is powerful but without a unicorn teacher, unmastered
Magic is mainly shadow-based
Plagued by nightmares, and hears whispers during the day
Lead Defender of the Farasi Zebra Tribe
Intends on returning to Equestria to claim his birthright and distribute Equestria’s hoarded riches/resources with the rest of the known world
Flurry Heart
Eldest daughter of former Queen Cadence and former King Consort Shining Armor
Princess of the Empire
Former heir to the Crystal Throne
Not a true alicorn, only possesses pegasus magic
Tallest alicorn of the next generation
Grew up an unchecked bully, lost her horn because of it
Despite the loss of her horn, still possesses a powerful connection to the Crystal Heart
Undergoes physical and emotional therapy with Tempest Shadow, the mother of her assailant, and her technical aunt
Falls into depression after the loss of her horn and the crowning of her sister, Love Letter
As a result, the colors of her mane, tail, wings, and eyes dim to reflect the loss of her spirit
Is the first to speak out against her sister’s tyrannical rule
Tries, but struggles, to become a better person with Tempest’s guidance
Love Letter
Youngest daughter of former Queen Cadence and former King Consort Shining Armor
