Cadence
Age: 26Flurry Heart
Age: 6Shining Armor
Age: 28BackstoryCadence was raised in a strong, loving home. Daughter of Empress Amorine, ruler of the Crystal Empire, she had a lot to live up to. She always tried her best to listen and train, learning the ways of spirit healing and arcane battle. She soon learned all that her normal instructors could teach her and was started as an apprentice to Celestia, Luna always being there to help out as well.She was very close to her Crystal mother and pegasus father, Gregior [a foreigner], and sees Princesses Luna and Celestia as almost big sisters. They helped her find all the open doors of her magic, and she has made every possible effort to bring them higher in the Crystal Court.When Cadence was 14, two refugees appeared on the steps of the Palace on a windy winter night. It was Twilight and Shining Armor [Rebellion AU- Twilight and Spike]. They explained how their home had been destroyed and their parents killed by Sombra’s soldiers, and also had a bit of useful information that their parents had gleaned in their work.Empress Amorine took the two in as her wards, which meant that they would be raised and cared for in the palace (not necessarily as royals, but still in warm, comfortable rooms with plenty to eat) Shining begged the Empress to let him into her army, and soon he was going through the initial boot camp, showing incredible skill and resourcefulness.Shining Armor and Cadence began to catch each other’s eyes across the room, sharing secret smiles and meeting in out-of-the-way places. When Shining became a captain, they officially began courting. Cadence’s parents were completely open to the relationship, seeing as the Empress’s own husband, Gregior, was a foreigner of common ancestry. After a few years of courtship, Shining proposed and they had a small wedding (well, as small as a royal of the Empire could have).They had Flurry Heart a year later, much to hyperventilating-Aunt Twilight’s joy. Only a couple months after Flurry’s birth, however, Empress Amorine and Gregior were both murdered in their sleep. To this day, no one knows who or what killed them, only that both looked like they were in a frozen state of pain when their bodies were discovered the next morning.As filled with grief as she was, Cadence swiftly ascended the throne, needing to assure the kingdom of her stability.When Applejack came to the Empire with pleas for assistance against Sombra, Cadence was convinced immediately. She had always been horrified by what had gone on inside Equestria, and Applejack was the tipping point for her. She appointed Shining general of the section of the army she stationed to help with the Rebellion, and both her and her husband worked tirelessly to help in every way they could.Flurry, in the meantime, was growing up much the way her mother was (if a bit more vigorously, with the coming Rebellion): trained in the ways of arcana from when she could just walk, Flurry was slowly but surely developing the magical skills of both her parents, with the obvious potential of surpassing them both (not that they mind). She wants to be like her Mami [Crystal version of Mommy] in every way possible, and her parents provided her with a simplified traditional leather-torso outfit for training.
Rebellion AU folder: joan-grace.deviantart.com/gall…As I say every time…………. Wow, that was long. :giggle:I wanted to put a lot more detail into this one than I normally do for these Rebellion AU pics. Not sure why. And if you thought that their outfits were inspired by Wonder Woman or Thor: Ragnarok…… you were completely correct :DI want the Crystal Empire armor to be sort of a mixture of the Amazons armor plus a bit of fantasy element. Let me know whatcha think of it!FLURRY: Like I said before, she wants to be like her Mami in every way possible, so I designed her outfit off of little kids’ Wonder Woman halloween costumes XD Thought ya would like thatAnyhoo, thanks for reading all of that! Hope you guys like it!!

Trasfondo
Cadence se crió en un hogar fuerte y amoroso. Hija de la emperatriz Amorine, gobernante del Imperio de Cristal, tenía mucho que cumplir. Siempre hizo todo lo posible por escuchar y entrenar, aprendiendo las formas de la curación espiritual y la batalla arcana. Pronto aprendió todo lo que sus instructores normales podían enseñarle y comenzó como aprendiz de Celestia, Luna siempre estaba allí para ayudar también.
Era muy unida a su madre de cristal y a su padre pegaso, Gregior [un extranjero], y ve a las princesas Luna y Celestia casi como hermanas mayores. Ellos la ayudaron a encontrar todas las puertas abiertas de su magia, y ha hecho todos los esfuerzos posibles para llevarlos más alto en la Corte de Cristal.
Cuando Cadence tenía 14 años, dos refugiados aparecieron en los escalones del Palacio en una ventosa noche de invierno. Eran Twilight Sparkle y Shining Armor [Rebelión UA- Twilight y Spike]. Explicaron cómo su hogar había sido destruido y sus padres asesinados por los soldados de Sombra, y también tenían un poco de información útil que sus padres habían obtenido en su trabajo.
La emperatriz Amorine los acogió a los dos como sus pupilos, lo que significaba que serían criados y cuidados en el palacio (no necesariamente como miembros de la realeza, pero sí en habitaciones cálidas y cómodas con mucho para comer). Shining le rogó a la Emperatriz que lo dejara entrar en su ejército, y pronto estuvo pasando por el campo de entrenamiento inicial, mostrando una habilidad e ingenio increíbles.
Shining Armor y Cadence comenzaron a mirarse a los ojos a través de la habitación, compartiendo sonrisas secretas y encontrándose en lugares apartados. Cuando Shining se convirtió en capitán, oficialmente comenzaron a cortejarse. Los padres de Cadance estaban completamente abiertos a la relación, ya que el propio esposo de la Emperatriz, Gregior, era un extranjero de ascendencia común. Después de unos años de noviazgo, Shining le propuso matrimonio y tuvieron una boda pequeña (bueno, tan pequeña como la realeza del Imperio podría tener).
Tuvieron Flurry Heart un año después, para gran alegría de la tía Twilight. Sin embargo, solo un par de meses después del nacimiento de Flurry, la emperatriz Amorine y Gregior fueron asesinados mientras dormían. Hasta el día de hoy, nadie sabe quién o qué los mató, solo que ambos parecían estar congelados por el dolor cuando sus cuerpos fueron descubiertos a la mañana siguiente.
Tan llena de dolor como estaba, Cadance ascendió rápidamente al trono, necesitando asegurarle al reino su estabilidad.
Cuando Applejack llegó al Imperio con súplicas de ayuda contra Sombra, Cadance se convenció de inmediato. Siempre había estado horrorizada por lo que había sucedido dentro de Equestria, y Applejack fue el punto de inflexión para ella. Ella nombró a Shining general de la sección del ejército que colocó para ayudar con la Rebelión, y tanto ella como su esposo trabajaron incansablemente para ayudar en todo lo que pudieron.
Flurry, mientras tanto, estaba creciendo de manera muy similar a su madre (aunque un poco más vigorosamente, con la Rebelión que se avecinaba): entrenada en los caminos arcanos desde que solo podía caminar, Flurry estaba desarrollando lenta pero seguramente las habilidades mágicas. de sus dos padres, con el potencial obvio de superarlos a ambos (no es que les importe). Quiere ser como su Madre [la versión Crystal de Madre] en todas las formas posibles, y sus padres le proporcionaron un traje de torso de cuero tradicional simplificado para entrenar.
