Description

Thanks Twiny for inspiring me to genderswap Starless.
Here’s something I didn’t think I’d ever draw. This is Starlight Pianissimo (R63 Starless Crescendo, or simply, Starless). The cloak has been replaced with a Coloratura-inspired dress. She’s great at piano but does not sing, and she’s close friends with Coloratura and has a (platonic) crush on her.

Backstory (reposted from this thread):
Starlight Pianissimo was a pony who loved music and aspired to be a musician. She didn’t care about fame and just wanted to create music she loved without the interference of record companies and corrupt managers like Svengallop. For over a decade, she learned to play a few instruments, including piano (her main instrument), guitar, bass, and drums, practicing for hours almost every day. While not exceptionally skilled at guitar, she was a phenomenal pianist and songwriter, earning her cutie mark in the latter. Her favorite genre of music is progressive rock and most of her solo albums are progressive rock albums.
Starlight began her musical career around the same time as Coloratura while also working at a record store to earn a living. She struggled to make it for a couple years until she attended the Helping Hooves Music Festival when Coloratura, simply known as “Rara”, performed “The Magic Inside”, inspiring her to continue. Starlight manages to get in touch with Coloratura and the two quickly become friends, bonding over their love for music and staying true to themselves. The two begin collaborating as a duo, recording a reasonably successful album together as well as a few cover EPs each focusing on a single artist, with Coloratura singing, Starlight playing most of the instruments, and both of them playing piano together.
Starlight and Coloratura would both develop a crush on each other, with Starlight, who initially did not sing, being inspired to sing along with Coloratura, although her voice wasn’t nearly as good as Coloratura’s. Both of them still had their own solo careers outside their collaborations with Starlight enjoying reasonable success thanks to her association with Coloratura.
Sunset Shimmer became friends with both Starlight and Coloratura after returning to Equestria permanently and began her own musical career as frontmare and guitarist for her own rock band. The three would begin collaborating as a trio, recording a couple reasonably successful albums while also contributing to each other’s solo projects with Starlight joining Sunset’s band as a keyboardist and Sunset joining Coloratura’s touring band as a guitarist. Starlight began crushing on Sunset Shimmer almost as much as Coloratura. The three of them remained best friends for life.
