#There's also Suzu in the human world but I'm not sure she would even realise she had metamorphosed considering how long she's been there

>×> do you wanna lore drop how each Changeling got "magic of friendship"-ed ?

Oh, don't mind if I do. :3c

Since, in this AU, changelings aren't born/hatched metamorphosed (and there are now several hives), the typical way for a changeling to be "magic-of-friendshipped" would be to share love with their hive and like that, they generally achieve metamorphosis at a slightly younger age than ponies usually get their cutiemarks. But Enstars lore is fucking unhinged and most of these characters are their own, self-contained tragedy, so really only Shinobu Arolium had the normal experience of being loved by his hive.

Wataru Spinneret and Mika Crescent Moon were both abandoned by their hives, but were able to share love with the pony family and foals of the orphanage that took them in, respectively. Spinneret metamorphosed exceptionally, abnormally early; Crescent Moon was something of a late bloomer but not to a worrying degree, escpecially considering his circumstances.

HiMERU is only half-changeling, so he doesn't have the ability or need to metamorphose, since he doesn't feed on love in the first place.

And then there's Mayoi Ootheca and Ibara Rosethorn/Chelicera who are currently in the process of being magic-of-friendshipped by their friends, whether they like it or not.
