This is a babe that I’ve been working on for a while (mostly in my Spanish notebook) and now here she is, all pretty and colored.
I didn’t like the common idea of Luna ending up with one the bat-pony guards she has or the idea that her child would be an alicorn, and I loved the idea of her with Sombra (a kind of darkness-shipping), thus Asteria was born.
(My headcanon is that it takes two alicorns to make another alicorn, cause, ya know…genetics.)

CHARACTER BIO:
Name: Asteria (“Aster” or “Ria”)
Gender: Female
Age: 21 years
Species: unicorn
Parents: Princess Luna and King Sombra
Personality: almost unsettlingly dark but with a good sense of humor (dark humor…), a bit of a perfectionist, can be very artistically expressive, very knowledgeable in various bedtime stories and lullabies~
Likes: books, cupcakes, scaring other ponies, cute wittle ponies
Backstory: The only child of Luna with Sombra (since Sombra is dead (?)), born in Canterlot and staying in Canterlot(but she secretly longs for adventure). She absolutely hates ‘hoofing it’ in small villages like Ponyville. Only has she ever been there a few times for Nightmare Night or some other thing. She grew up without much of a father figure so she never knew what to look for in a possible ‘mate’ (Asteria’s words). She’s a little lost with love. She grew up with a love for the stars and constellations. She spends her free time plotting charts and maps and studying the night sky.
