12. What is a lesson your muse’s parent(s)/guardian taught them that they still hold onto?
"I don't think they meant to teach me it, but... Look, friendship is magic and all that. I get it. I agree. But it was pretty hard for that lesson to sink in because mom never had any friends when I was growing up. Not sure she does still, to be honest. Auntie Luna doesn't count. That's her sister.
"But anyway, you know what I saw? This immensely powerful mare standing completely alone, ready to take on all comers! Friendship is cool, but you know what's also cool? Being self-sufficient. Being such a badass that no one dares to fuck with you. And hey you know what? That makes you even more of a force multiplier when you add friends to the mix."
15. Does your muse know how to cook? what is the most complicated dish they’re able to make?
"I lived on my own for a few years, so yeah, I know how to cook. It was pretty difficult making the transition to the human realm, though. I didn't have much in the way of culinary skills before hand, but everything I knew completely went out the window due to how different a human diet is.
"Thankfully, my landlady was this nice, old Columbian lady named Mrs. Garcia. Let me rent out my apartment for cheap even though I was clearly underage and didn't have a guardian. I'd go over to her place a lot. You know, just help her out with stuff she couldn't really do anymore. Chores, cooking, errands that kind of thing. Think she just wanted company and to keep an eye on me, looking back on it.
"So, uh, yeah! I'm pretty good at whipping up Columbian dishes!"
