Can’t stop drawing tiny babies being held by the scruff by their mommas. I’m tempted to do one for each of the Mane 6’s kids. But anyway, in this case it’s Athena being carried by her grandmother Pear Butter!
 
Of course this could never actually happen, since Pear passed away decades before Athena was even born. But if they ever did meet, I think Buttercup would’ve loved how much her granddaughter looked like her (before Athena’s purple mane grew in). They have very similar coat colors, markings, and manes. Pear Butter also has a slight gradient in her hair, which is where Athena gets hers from.
