Light dark.

Vera Valeri is a bio-engineered consumer "My Little Pony"; a living, sentient toy.  Living alone with her adoptive brother, life has been easy on her.  For many others like her, it has not.  When a bombing at an equinoid-rights rally upends her life, Vera finds herself without an anchor: cast out into an indifferent and unforgiving world with one chance at proving both to herself and others that she is as deserving of respect as those around her.

Unfortunately for Vera, there are many people out there who do not care for what she stands for, and some may go farther than others to see the status quo stand.
