I’ve been waiting to introduce this lovely gal to y’all!
 
Meet Grace, the only child of Spike and Gabby! Born out of rather short-sighted passion during a lifelong love, the couple became parents at a rather young age. Spike immediately wanted to get married once their little surprise egg had been brought into the world, but Twilight talked him down and made sure he knew that there was no rush and that his relationship with Gabby could go at whatever pace worked for the two of them. Spike still desperately wanted to get married, since he saw no reason not to, but knew Gabby might not be as ready as he was. As a dragon-griffon hybrid, little Gracie hatched looking more unique than expected, resembling a small, feathered raptor. Her parents smothered her in love, with Spike being especially head-over-heels obsessed with his little girl.
 
Grace grew up only being a few years younger than Twilight’s children, so she had a very similar way of growing up with Strawberry and Blueberry just like Spike did with Twilight. Like her parents, little Gracie is chatty and excitable, so much so that she occasionally forgets to breathe and has a tendency to speak too fast to be understood. She is also very child-like, even as an teenager/young adult, which makes sense with both her mom and dad being children at heart. Because of it, she can be innocent and naive, almost too pure for this world. All she wants to do is help her friends, which gives her life a close mirroring to Spike, who always wants to help his friends whenever they need it and for whatever reason. Because Grace doesn’t have a cutie mark or an assigned job to do, she runs around Ponyville helping others. Sweet Apple Acres needs another creature to help organize or harvest? She’s on it! Blueberry Tonic needs an assistant while he works on potions? Grace is more than happy to help! Whippoorwill needs to run his jokes by someone before performing them on stage next week? No problem!

I finally have a bipedal next gen character! I’m trying to do more than just creatures with hooves, so plan on seeing more of this sweet girl!
