Feather Fluff was always a bit smaller and weaker than other ponies, and was often picked on by bullies at school. Some ponies wouldn't dare speak up if this happened to them — but not Feather Fluff. She would stand up to the bullies, both for herself and others. (And report what was happening to a trusted adult, of course.)

If there are two things Feather Fluff absolutely loves to do, it's making cute scarves and playing pranks. Whether it's a small practical joke to brighten somepony's day, or showing bullies that she and her friends are not to be messed with, Feathers is a notorious prankster — but she is always careful never to hurt anypony's feelings.

One summer, after she had graduated from high school, Feather Fluff got involved in a prank war with some of her friends and former classmates. After a while, however, what started out as a few harmless practical jokes quickly escalated into more elaborate pranks. One such prank backfired catastrophically, splattering Feather Fluff with a mix of magical substances.

A while after Feathers and her friend Joy Buzzer had cleaned up the aftermath of the failed prank, one of the bullies from school showed up and started picking on Joy Buzzer. This angered Feather Fluff to the point of giving her a headache. "Hey!" she shouted. "Why don't you PICK ON SOMEPONY YOUR OWN SIZE!" Both ponies suddenly fell silent and stared at her, startled. Feathers clapped her hoof over her mouth — her normally warm voice had become a deep growl. She also realized that her mane was flying in all directions. Her headache worsened, and pain coursed through her body as her muscles started to grow. The others fled, terrified. The pain was unbearable. Feather Fluff tried to scream, but instead let out a roar.

Feather Fluff woke up, and, still a bit dizzy, looked around to figure out just where the hay she was. She must have crashed here, she thought, since some of the surrounding trees had fallen, and not from natural causes. Joy Buzzer was sitting on the ground next to her. "Finally you're awake!" she said. "I panicked and ran but then a couple hours passed and you didn't come back so I panicked again and went to find you and then I found you and you were unconscious and I thought you wouldn't wake up and" "But what happened?" interrupted Feather Fluff. Joy Buzzer calmed down and answered, "You turned into some huge super-strong monster or something and became really aggressive. It was terrifying. There was a bit of collateral damage, but I don't think anypony else recognized you. Anyway, we should start heading back now. We're only a couple miles away." So Feather Fluff followed her friend back home.

When Feather Fluff got back home, she went into her room, flopped down onto her bed and thought about all that had happened that day. What had caused the transformation? Would it happen again? What would she do now? She then heard the front door open her parents had come home from work. (Fortunately for her, they had missed the incident earlier.) It was then that she knew what she was going to do. She got up and, putting on a hat to cover up her mane (which was still floating with magical energy), she told her parents she wanted to move out. They were surprised at first, but after talking it over, they decided that she was old enough.

Now, Feather Fluff lives a safe distance from any populated areas, where nopony is around to get hurt, taking the occasional trip into town to sell the scarves she makes for a living. She spends her spare time trying to cure or control her alter ego, and longs for the day she'll finally be able to live among other ponies without fear of hurting them.
