Origin Stories

This is a folder for the origin stories of characters without one. All of the Mane Six kinda sorta have origin stories, so please, nothing on them. Alternate origins for them should go into the AU folder.

Background ponies, side characters, minor 'villains' like Trixie, the Flim Flam brothers, etc, should go in here as well.
