More secretive than the dragons, colder than the griffons, as strong, fast and powerful as the three pony tribes; the changelings are all these.

The legends say it began with an alicorn in love. She fell for the stallion of her dreams, but he was betrothed to another. Jealousy boiled within her like balloon ready to burst, until one day she killed the thieving mare in a fit of rage.

Murder was virtually unheard of in the alicorn city, but she felt no remorse. The stallion was rightfully hers, after all.

Taking the victim’s place was a simple trick of magic. Finally, she had her stallion. But she knew the love he felt was for the mare she posed as, not herself. She needed to feel that love directly.

So another spell was crafted, one of darker origin that would allow her to directly tap into the energy of his love. These magics did not sit well together, and slowly, she became an abomination of dark magic, as twisted as her own desires.

She was not blind to their effects. But the love – the pure, sweet love – was wonderful beyond anything she had ever experienced. She was an addicted monster, but if this was the reward, she loved every moment of it.

But the façade was not to last. For her crimes, she was banished to the wastelands, never to see her alicorn brethren, never to feel the stallion’s love ever again.

And so it was that Chrysalis the Changeling Queen was born.
