So… what happens? It’s a funny story.

Sweetie Belle is an orphan.

First post:

I wasn’t always like this.

So screwed up. Drunk more often than anypony should be, high every once in a while, pregnant.

Yes, pregnant. I’ve made choices I wouldn’t wish on anypony else.

I’ll start from the beginning. It was just six months ago. Can you believe that?

Just six months…

So what was six months ago? A fire. A fire that started from a dragon, completely unintentionally. Just a dragon out for a snooze, a little too close. The fire was everywhere. When Rarity told her to run, she did, and Rarity, Sweetie Belle’s family, and anypony else she could have been sent to. Sweetie Belle was sent to Ponyville Orphanage. A rundown place, where only a very few others were. Those beyond saving, as some would say. The disable, the mental. She was the only normal one, but it was a nightmare there.

Abuse. Between the forced cleaning, forbiddances of magic or flying, the beatings, denial of food, lack of running water, and general yellings-at, Sweetie Belle broke. She ran away, like so many others would, and never returned.

Frustrated, she went for a walk. She didn’t know the orphanage was on the bad side of town. She didn’t know that a shop called “Apple Cider” would sell hard apple cider. She didn’t know that this was the one place that sold to minors, if you knew how to get it. Sweetie Belle didn’t, but she got it somehow. ((Maybe walk in, sit on a certain stool, and just ask for “the lowest, cheapest cider y’gots.”)) Several glasses later, she’s kicked out, where she collapses in an alley, drunk off her flank.

She’s found by the wrong kind of crowd, and becomes introduced to drugs with the promise it’ll make her headache go away. Yay, naïve Sweetie Belle! She becomes addicted, and begins working at Apple Cider to make some cash. She’s still homeless, sleeping in the same alley in a cozy box. All her money goes to drugs or alcohol, though when her boss finds out she’s a druggie, he wises her up. She decides to quit drugs, but her alcohol addiction persists until he tells her the dangers of that as well. He becomes her “street mentor,” teaching her what she needs to know.

Until she’s… attacked in her cardboard box. Afraid, she goes to Ponyville Hospital, where she’s treated for a variety of things. Despite this, she continues drinking until a month or two later, when she returns for a follow-up and learns she’s preggers. She’s forced into rehab, lying about her current living standards, and slowly gets out of her addictions. She still is pregnant though, and she has to make the tough choices.
