『 B A C K G R O U N D 』

➳ Quill was born in Manehatten to Steelhoof, a kind earth pony construction worker, and Porcelain Doll, a successful but controlling unicorn cosmetologist. They were assigned female at birth and named Hay Meadow, a name they would grow to resent because "it sounds dumb". Their mother, Porcelain Doll, insisted on trying to enroll Hay Meadow into Celestia's school, even though the foal's magic was weak even for her age, as she was barely able to perform basic levitation spells. Naturally, she failed the initiation exam, which frustrated Porcelain Doll, who then began to force Hay Meadow into the path of a cosmetologist. Struggling with both magic and the much-hated field of pony makeup, Hay Meadow grew into an angry young pony, especially when their cutie mark never came in. Porcelain Doll grew increasingly frustrated with Hay Meadow, pressuring her constantly and even resorting to physical violence. After the birth of her brother, an earth pony stallion named Salty, the pressure increased, and after noticing that Salty was treated with far more leniency, Hay Meadow snapped. She asked Steelhoof to take her away to Ponyville to live with her grandmother, Cowbell, a retired schoolteacher.

Living in Ponyville was much, much better. Being allowed to actually find herself led to an important discovery: she wasn't a she at all, but rather a they; they adopted the agender label, and soon after, the pansexual one. The only problem was their name; Cowbell frequently called them "my angel" instead of Hay Meadow, which eventually turned to Angel. While Angel didn't really enjoy the name, they accepted it out of love for Cowbell. Fortunately, they wouldn't have to use the name long; Cowbell encouraged Angel to write short stories as exercise for their weak magic and gave them an old quill to write with. Though it was a struggle, they gave it a try. And the more they did it, the more they enjoyed it, and the more they enjoyed it, the easier picking up and moving the quill worked. They completed their first story a few months later, and, rather suddenly, finally gained their cutie mark: a bright blue quill drawing a swirling rainbow. Delighted in a way they'd never felt, they decided to name themself after their cutie mark; from that day forward, they were no longer Hay Meadow or Angel -- they were Feather Quill.

By this point, Quill had made two friends: a pair of pegasus twins named Flare Flicker and Solar Eclipse. The two were mischievous, perfect for Quill, who found rebellion delightful after a childhood of being controlled; the trio were constantly in trouble, starting with practical jokes but eventually, at the urging of Flare Flicker, they began to steal and vandalize things. One day, Flare Flicker suggested an actual, dangerous heist: they would break into Zecora's hut and steal the Alicorn Amulet (Quill discovered its location during a conversation with Pinkie Pie, who let it slip without realizing it); his idea was to make himself an alicorn so he could become royalty, promising the same for the other two. Solar Eclipse accepted immediately, while Quill argued that there was no way the plan would work. But when Flare Flicker promised he would give Quill powerful magic beyond any unicorn, they became too excited by the idea and finally caved. So the trio headed over the Everfree Forest (the twins flying and carrying Quill between them) and waited for Zecora to leave her hut; when she did, they broke in and, after completely destroying the place, discovered the wooden box holding the Amulet. Quill, desperate for a taste of "real" magic, turned on their friends and ran off with the Amulet. Disappearing into the forest, they put on the Amulet. At first, they just used it to perform tricks and basic spells they would never ordinarily be able to do, but the Amulet corrupted them, darkening their heart and their magic. They headed back to Canterlot to get revenge on Porcelain Doll, planning to transform her into a donkey; by this point, Zecora had figured out what happened, and alerted Twilight Sparkle. With the help of her friends, Twilight Sparkle track the use of the Amulet by following Quill's trail of destruction, as they had been destroying random objects and buildings to let out excess magic they could not handle. By the time Quill had reached Canterlot (but before they could confront Porcelain Doll), Twilight Sparkle and her friends had found them and got there in time to intervene. Quill, too corrupted by the Alicorn Amulet to be reasoned with, started a battle with Twilight Sparkle and banished the other five back to Ponyville. The battle was only stopped by Steelhoof, Salty, and Cowbell, who had heard of the situation and went there to find Quill blasting alicorn-level magic at a princess. Cowbell begged them to stop, telling them how disappointed she was with them for going against their lessons of kindness and patience. Steelhoof lamented about the house he built being damaged. Ashamed, Quill stopped their assault, took off the amulet, and ran away. After days of isolation, Quill reluctantly returned first to Canterlot to apologize to Steelhoof, where they learned with delight that he had divorced Porcelain Doll, then to Ponyville to apologize to Cowbell and the main six. Much to their surprise, they were forgiven, and after offering to help repair the damage they'd done, they were allowed to stay in Ponyville again. Twilight Sparkle even began giving them special magic exercises, and Quill was soon able to write with little difficulty. They once again lived in peace, though they avoided Flare Flicker and Solar Eclipse at every opportunity. Quill also made many friends, the first being Fluttershy, and began writing their first novel, a standalone book about a pegasus named Starbeam.

During a visit to Canterlot to see Steelhoof and Salty, Quill was attacked by a strange creature that began draining their magic. While the creature mocked Quill for their "pathetic excuse for magic", an even stranger creature came to their rescue, knocking Quill's assailant away before it could finish its attack. Frightened, and feeling weak, Quill watched with dismay as their rescuer, identified by their attacker as "Discord" changed sides and disappeared with the creature dubbed "Tirek". Quill then managed to make it home, where they stayed until Tirek was defeated and Quill's magic, what little there was, was returned. After returning to Ponyville, Quill met up with Fluttershy to ask about Discord. To their surprise, Fluttershy was Friends with Discord, and offered to introduce them. Wanting to thank the creature that had saved them from Tirek, Quill agreed. They weren't quite sure to expect, so they were quite shocked to discover two things: Discord was capable of unbelievable feats of magic, and he was intelligent. Quill quickly became enamored by Discord's charm and, with Fluttershy's urging, decided to befriend him. After a few months of friendship with the draconeqquus, they developed a crush on him. The only pony they told this to is Fluttershy, who secretly arranged a date for them by giving Discord two tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala and convincing him to take ask Quill to go. Quill and Discord had a great time together, and Quill (thanks to the influence of some hard apple cider) decided to confess their feelings. They expected rejection, but found themself spending the rest of the night practically glued to his side. The relationship had started. The two were happy together, despite Steelhoof's initial disapproval and Discord's habit of whisking Quill away with no warning to be at his side whenever he misses them.

With their social life thriving and their personal life bright and happy, Quill decided it was time to work on their second novel. However, an untimely and unexpected event halted all progress -- Quill was pregnant. Though they were unbelievably anxious at the idea, especially because their offspring would be half-draconeqquus and after witnessing Discord's excitement, they decided to go through with it. The offspring was named Nepenthe by Discord. Quill now lives with Discord in Chaosville, where they are writing their second novel and co-parenting Nepenthe. Unable to bear the thought of losing either one, Discord placed a spell on both Quill and Nepenthe that would keep them alive for as long as he would live.

Introductions / Hello!
2022 May 14, 10:46:13
Hello! I'm Feather Quill, but you can just call me Quill.

Quill is my ponysona, a unicorn whose special talent is writing. But since that isn't possible in LOE, Quill studies magic.

You'll most often see me playing as Quill, though I do also play as a pegasus named Smoke Rings and an earth pony named Cherry Bomb.

I'm interested in meeting other people from the community!  ^-^
