Two of these in one day I am killing it!

You all know the story of this family, but not all of it.
After the Crystal Empire was saved by Twilight and her friends, the crystal ponies would have no one else but Cadence and Shining Armor as their rulers, despite them not being crystal ponies themselves. The entire kingdom rejoiced when they discovered that Cadence was pregnant, and even more happy when Flurry Heart was announced at her Crystalling, but little did anyone know something would occur in later years that would shock the Crystal Empire to its very core.
When Flurry was three years old, a young colt around five years appeared on the palace doorstep, half-frozen and covered by a cloak. He was brought to a warm room by guards and after the royal family came to meet this colt, it shocked everyone when they realized the colt looked similar to Shining Armor when the hood on the colt's head was dropped. The colt shakily explained that he was Broken Shield, the accident child of Shining Armor and Chrysalis. He had been raised in secret by his mother since he was born and was taken by her after the hive reformed, training him to be a tyrant ruler in the desert.
"But I don't want to be evil…" the little colt had said in a sad voice that made it clear he was not lying, and the tears that followed only backed that statement up.
Shining Armor and Cadence agreed it was best to take in Broken Shield as their own and raise him alongside ponykind. Flurry Heart was never afraid of Broken Shield and sees him as a full brother rather than a half one. It took a few years before Broken Shield to adjust to pony living among ponies, and the same for the crystal ponies, but they eventually learned to respect him and him them. It also helped that he looked more pony than Changeling in the first place.
Broken Shield became Flurry Heart's personal guard and has a crush on Shadow Crystal (Sombra's daughter). He got the courage to start calling Cadence "Mother" when he was nine, and she is still totally fine with it. She loves him like her own.

Broken Shield seems tough on the outside, but if you insult him one time, it hurts him pretty bad. He tries his best to fit in but sometimes wishes he was a normal pony, but his friends Dawn Shine, Shining Sun, Flurry Heart, and Shadow Crystal help him feel more welcomed.
