Anonymous asks: “What is both of your relationship to your mother? Good? complicated? She seems like a lovely pony :3″
Spirit Light: I think... my relationship with our mom is kind of complex. She's a good mom. She protects us and cares for us and loves us very much. She is kind, and patient, and always has good wisdom to share... but... Since I lost my sight as a foal, she started treating me different. Not in a bad way, really, but she started doing extra things for me and giving me more specialized attention and kind of treating me like I couldn't do things on my own. I never wanted her to treat me special, or like I was helpless, I just wanted to learn on my own. I don't resent her, but the way she acted then, and sometimes still acts now has made our relationship kind of strained now that I'm an adult.
Ghostfire: Final Toll was a good mother to the both of us... She trained me in magic, protective wards, banishing spells, purification rituals. She's very clever and very kind... but... she always gave my sister special attention. Ever since she lost her vision, mom fawned over Spirit, and had less and less time for me. I'm... sure she didn't mean for it to be that way. Spirit needed the extra care. She wasn't neglectful or anything but, she was distant, less attentive, and... I missed how close we were before. So I got strong on my own, so I wouldn't need to rely on her while she was busy taking care of Spirit. So... I guess that's why later in life we weren't really as close as we used to be when I was a foal.
