#AlicornsAbridged

[cloudroots]

Introducing my mlp abridged series characters!!

Ft. some doodles that I made around 2 am

If I don’t talk about them to someone, I will explode

I’ve had this series idea in my head for a while now! I have a lot to say about it, but I’ll focus on characters here, since I’ve changed quite a bit in the plot department compared to the original show.

If anyone has any questions or wants to help me make this series a reality, feel free to reach out!

Twilight Sparkle

Wants to become an alicorn more than anything

Will do anything the Princess says for a chance at becoming one

Given immortality as a reward for her loyalty

Very important in Canterlot because of her connection to the Princess

The Princess is the only authority she respects 

Doesn’t want to be in Ponyville

Tired of this shit

Very similar to other abridged series versions

Spike the dragon

Twilight and Spike are friends and enjoy each others company

Spike keeps Twilight somewhat grounded

Has the same sense of humor as Twi

Rainbow Dash

Old timey military American accent

Was a Wonderbolt but was forced to retire

Constantly talking about her past adventures or her time in the academy

Rarity

Posh accent - so basically the same

Always seems to know more than she lets on

Uses her generosity to butter up ponies into doing what she wants

Showers Twilight with praise and gifts since she’s from Canterlot/works with the Princess

Hates Canterlot with a burning passion

Has a master plan to overthrow the Princess and rule herself

Pinkie Pie

Transgender mare /affectionate

Used to work in Canterlot as a scientist/engineer

Moved to Ponyville to discover herself and is the most happy she’s ever been

A large part of the community and they all love her

Very bubbly and smart

Applejack

Has beef with Twilight, likes to annoy her in anyway she can

Speaks fluent Spanish, and speaks it in a southern accent to annoy ponies

Has loads of outlandish theories that she shares with anyone that will listen

Casually chaotic

Fluttershy

The one that makes fandom references, and references other abridged series

Isn’t actually good with animals, only moved into the cottage because it has the best internet connection and is cheap

Somehow knows about mlp:fim and is a fan but doesn’t draw connections to her friends and the characters

Cottage came with all the animals, so she is working on handling and caring for them better

Applebloom

Takes everything way too seriously

Wants to make the world a better place, but doesn’t have the resources since she is a child

Concerned about the government

Makes “grand plans” that she takes too seriously and ropes her friends into helping her

Scootaloo

An orphan, newsies, New York accent

Basically down down for anything

Voice of reason while also being incredibly supportive of any plan Applebloom comes up with

Lives with her lesbian aunts

Sweetie Belle

Just happy to be included

Cheerful, doesn’t talk much

A very neglected child

Her friends like having her around

“…and I’m Sweetie Belle!!” :D

I have a lot of ideas for these characters! I even have ideas for character progression, where the annoyance the characters feel for each other turns to friendship.

The name I have currently for this project is: The Alicorns Abridged Series or AAS Since so much of the plot is around becoming an alicorn or about the alicorns. But I might change the name in the future we'll see

Alicorn Abridged Series: the other main characters

Spoilers Edition!!

With more doodles made at 2am

here’s a Celestia for emotional support

This post shows off one of the main big plot changes I made for this story.

I decided to make season 1 Luna(that one that was Nightmare Moon) and season 2 and onwards Luna two different characters. There’s a big plot reason why this is, but I don’t want to give anything away at this time. There’s a reason why the series is named after alicorns 😉

Princess Celestia

Just a figurehead

A silly goose

Has had many pupils that she made alicorns, Twilight is jealous

Twilight doesn’t like Celestia for “giving out” alicornhood

Twilight views her as an airhead

Actually a sweet lady, who cares about ponies being happy

Princess Luna

“The Princess”

Was never banished

The one actually in charge/ running Equestria - shadow government style

No one knows about her besides Twilight and Celestia

Has Twilight’s undying loyalty

She only makes an alicorn out of a pony that shows the most potential and skill

Twilight is desperate for her praise and will do whatever she says

Has become bored

Selena

Was Nightmare Moon

A past pupil of one of princesses

When she was reformed, ponies thought she was Luna since they haven’t seen her in forever

Luna uses this as an excuse to go out into public

Selena is forced to stay in the castle, she’s just off screen, chatting with the characters

Starlight

Introduced in the later stage of the story

Used by Luna to spy on Twilight

Cover being that she’s there to be a student for Twilight
