To Be or Not To Be · 4:14pm Dec 29th, 2020
The twenty-fourth chapter/episode of My Little Pony: How the Magic of Friendship Grows (Season 1) is just completed and published.
I know that the backstory I decided for Luster Dawn is most likely crazy and out-of-the-ordinary, but it traces back to when I wrote my fourth overall story that had Gallus and Silverstream talking about it.
I figured that if Luster Dawn was the daughter of Starlight and Sunburst, she should be the same age as Lil'Cheese, the child of Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich, and Big Sugar, the child of Big Mac and Sugar Belle seen in 'The Last Problem'. And seeing an age spell in 'Magic Duel' gave me the idea that an age spell could have happened to make Luster how old she was in 'The Last Problem'.
And I figured that the only way for Luster to not know much about friendship despite being Starlight and Sunburst's child, is if she wasn't raised by her parents who run a friendship school, so I decided that being raised by her grandparents made her the pony she was before learning about friendship from the Mane Six.
