I wrote this story with one thought in mind. What is a monster? Looks? Thoughts? Actions?

Lucien is living in a town full of ponies, separated from her own people and dejected in her new home. One day she saves a foal from certain death. She wonders what led her there. She questions her own motives with the question of: Would she do it again?

This is a good pony + griffon story.
I really like the way you have removed / got around the cliche of 'powerful being meets innocent child'. By expanding the story and taking your time, I guess.
Really good!!
This is one of those one-shots I wish would continue.
I'd love to see where this goes.

One question and forgive me if this is answered in the story, but why give your female OC a boy's name?

Lucienne is the female version of the name.

Because her father thought it was a stronger name. Maybe he wanted a boy. lol
It just felt better to me, felt more like the character. Also Lucien felt a little more "evil" to shape the reader's opinion of her as quickly as possible.

Would love to know how I got around the cliche. More depth always helps. Guess you are referring to the backstory.
It may continue, already have the companion story outlined. Just waiting for prereaders.
