Once again, no self control so posting this today LOL

This is Lady Amalthea, the daughter of Princess Celestia and Starswirl the Bearded.

You can read about how she came to be here:
She earned her cutie mark creating a constellation in the sky.
When she was younger, she hated the attention she got for being Celestia's daughter. She just wanted a normal life without all the special attention and treatment.
She also felt a lot of ponies judged her for being a bastard child. Starswirl got a LOT of flack after everyone realized he had gotten his own student pregnant and that didn't help at all.
This caused Starswirl to leave their hometown and travel, trying to keep in touch with Celestia.
He eventually settled and was able to officially trade her off with Celestia like they both wanted to.

Amalthea was the apple of Starswirl's eye, and he did his best to keep her happy and healthy, though he never expected what would happen to her in the next few years.

When she was a teen, she contracted Polio. It completely stunted the growth in one of her legs and eventually paralyzed the other into her adulthood. The complications of the disease and having to spend so much time in a hospital gave her PTSD, and a lot of Soft foods trigger her. (Think soup, jello) because of how many surgeries she had to have to salvage her leg. (Which in the end didn't even work.
She also knew she was looked at weird because of her disability. Resentment and anger fostered in her towards the ponies of Equestria.

When she was younger, Celestia and Starswirl really didn't get along that much. While they were mostly civil, there would be fights between them every once in a blue moon when they went to go drop her off to the other parent's house.
As they all got older though, they eventually became a really tight knit family even though Starswirl and Celestia stayed separate. The Polio incident really brought them together.

That was until Celestia married Prince Sombra.
This really affected her relationship with Celestia. She no longer saw the strong, intelligent leader she had thought she was, and saw a selfish, flawed pony that only wanted what she wanted.

They got into many fights about Sombra and the affect he had on their world, and while Celestia did try to defend herself, she couldn't help but realize how selfish she was being for it, and eventually would just yell at her to stop and not talk to her the way she was. That she was flawed too and made a mistake.
She and Sombra never really got along all that well because of it, even though he tried his best to be nice to her.
One day, they got into a particularly heated argument that ended up with her moving out and not talking to Celestia for YEARS. Celestia renounced her title as the heir to her throne as well, causing extreme grief and distress in her.

She left for a while, living on her own and becoming more and more of a hermit, though never correcting people when they called her Princess or anything like that. She tried to keep in contact with her father, but started calling less and less.
he was very quiet, only speaking when she felt necessary, and almost always came off as angry, irate, or crabby on a good day.

She eventually started missing her mom so much she went to go see her again and met Mahina, Celestia's son with Sombra. This made her even more angry than she was before they broke off last time, and she decided she had done the right thing by leaving. She then left back to her home, thinking she'd never talk to them again.

Eventually though, her loneliness got the best of her and she came back again. Celestia welcomed her with open arms into her family, and she moved back into the castle with them.

While she was on speaking terms with her mother, things never really were good with Mahina. She knew he had the title as the heir and that wouldn't change at this point, and she was still resentful about the situation between Celestia and Sombra, as the effects it had on Equestria and the world were getting worse and worse.
She treated him horribly. Mahina did his best to earn the admiration and love he wanted from his sister but it never happened. While they did have moments where they got along, it was mostly anger and resentment from Amalthea. Sometimes she even would get angry enough to hit him, but those were very rare and inbetween.
Celestia and Starswirl both tried to help her as much as they could but never really could.

She officially changed her title to "Lady" as Mahina got older, not wanting to be referred to as Princess Anymore. (as it brings bad memories) She doesn't necessarily want to let go of the fact that she's royalty but didn't want to be referred to as such.

THIS GOT A LONG LONGER THAN EXPECTED WHOOPS.
I just traced the ittle doodle I did of her a while back but I still love her lol.

She was graciously given to me by a while back, and I think I tagged them on the first pic I doodled but oh well LOL.
Enjoyyyyyy
