About: Malum Prohibitum · 8:33am Aug 9th, 2015
So, seeing as I'm still awake. . . how about some backstory?
Malum Prohibitum, born to two unicorns in Canterlot. He spent much of his youth in Ponyville. When he reached the age of 13, he already had a cutie mark. It was an exclamation mark under a magnifying glass.
So, from the age of 13, Malum attended law school in Canterlot. Then, one day when Malum was 22, an opportunity for a case was given to him. He would ask to defend Equestria's newest Princess.
And that's only the rough outline.
Malum's father left shortly after Malum's birth. His mother, ironically enough, was a grief counselor for ponies. Though, her talent was understanding magic and teaching younger ponies to control it. About 4 years after Malum was born, a pony's mind was ripped out. And a year later, his mother moved to Canterlot to help a family that was involved. A young prosecutor and his daughter. Then, another pony was killed in the same fashion as the first, and Malum's mother was found guilty.
Malum, crushed by the news of his mother's execution, vowed to become a defense attorney to find the real truth.
And that, is why Malum found himself paired with Rarity.
