Newbie Artist Training Grounds XV

Day 12: Draw a pony paying a terrible price / facing the music

Cookie's backstory is rather sad. When she became the only member of her family to not get a cutie mark or special talent related to the culinary arts, she was regarded as something of a black sheep, which caused her to lash out at her parents and disown them. Her brother Biscotti was the only one who stood up for her and supported her, which led to a strain in his own relationship with his own parents, even after Cookie left to be on her own.

Now Cookie worries about a similar treatment being in store for her beloved niece, Pastel, if she also gets a cutie mark that isn't related to cooking. However, Biscotti puts her worries at ease as both a good brother and a good father would.
