Meet Back Stitch, the only child of Suri Polomare and Svengallop. The two met after their professional step-backs, with Coloratura leaving Svengallop’s tight grip as a manager and Suri losing the fashion contest to Rarity after stealing designs and fabric from her. They bonded over their bitterness and hatred, eventually getting married and having a foal of their own. But with their resentment being a large part of how close they were, it didn’t leave much room for positive emotions or a loving environment. Back Stitch grew up just as manipulative and cunning as his mother and father, starting to play other ponies when he was in primary school. His cutie mark, which not only shows his talent in sewing and embroidery, also plays with his ability to ensnare and trap others with mind games. Back Stitch is always looking for a way to profit and make himself look better in the eyes of anyone higher up on the societal food chain, learning from his parents to seize every opportunity possible, even if you have to step on others to get there.
