Artist description:
Name: Princess Mi Querida Esperanza (aka Hope)
Nicknames: Esperanza, Aphrodite
Gender: Female
Species: Pegasus
Parents: Princess Cadance and Prince Shining Armor
Special Talent: She inspires hope and love in others

Bio:
Hope is the second born* child of Cadance and Shining Armor. She's a lot more carefree seeing as she's not the first in line to the throne, having more time to socialize and do her own things. She loves visiting her cousin Stella, as well as interacting with her "honorary cousin" Flare. She is also the happy older sister of Prince Shining Startrail, despite the young colt getting on her nerves from time to time. While unbeknownst to the mare, many Crystal Ponies see a shocking resemblance to the old Crystal Princess, Princess Amore.
Fun Facts:
-She has a pet lovebird named Cupid. They're always singing together.
- She can sense love, much like her mother can. Has no shame in being a secret helper to Peachy Pie's shipping shenanigans.
(all four ideas below by Solitary-bat)
-Hope has got a thing for gossip. Whatever is supposedly happening with whomever she hears about and spreads it like butter on toast.
-She's very good at sparring and combat and duels with her father and sometimes her mother and cousin Elatha.
-As a child, Hope created her own theme song that she would hum when sneaking past crystal guards. Unfortunately that meant they could hear her sneaking past them the whole time.
-When Hope was a young teen, she went up to Cloudsdale with her mother. She bumped into a young blue colt who was selling Daring Do books, and he was able to convince her to buy all of them by saying it was for charity. After she got home and opened the first book, she immediately became obsessed. Since then she has become a huge Daring Do fan. She reads some of the stories to her brother Startrail every other night and she is close acquaintances with the president of the Daring Do Club, Rainbow Dash.
*Seeing as Skyla might be canon, I'll be making Skyla the oldest sister. However, I won't confirm nor deny it until it's shown in the show. So for now, Hope is the second born.
