The Schism: Enter Jessi Trotsky · 6:01pm Mar 14th, 2022
Scootaloo’s ghost represents the old me and she carries the guilt and shame of Apple Bloom’s (my mother’s) death in the form of the chicken costume she’s currently doomed to wear. Jessi Trotsky represents the new me and that’s why it’s important that she be a filly. She’s very bright and sensitive and has a lot of love to give to the world, but she has no idea how to go about that… She’s very quirky and witty, but she doesn’t like or trust most ponies. She’s a green unicorn filly with a mid-length wavy grayish-white mane and tail and dark orange eyes.
It's important that I differentiate the two as I'm leaving that part of my life behind, at this point. I'm moving forward and while it's necessary that I help Scootaloo deal with these issues, it's equally important that I keep my eyes forward. I need to cast off the old feelings of the past if I'm to proceed in my life and the end of this story will be Scootaloo's absolution and final acceptance of what happened. It doesn't matter if it's 2000 years as in her case or a mere 17, like in mine. This still needs to happen and I recognize this...
