And then her life got even worse!

Somebody should cut this pony a break!

In all seriousness though, you get points in the 'unique backstory' department. I'd never have expected Trixie to be a teacher.

Thanks. This whole story was a bit of an experiment in writing for me and I'm not sure how close to my ideal it turned out, but I'm glad that it makes for a unique backstory. That was really what I was aiming for, when you get right down to it.
Oh, gosh, my heartstrings.
This was great. I don't really want to say anything that would be to obvious a spoiler, but lets just say I never would have thought of these things. The spiral she was in was heartwrenching and even the things that save her are as awful as they are hopeful.

Haha, thanks for taking the time to enjoy this story.
I wanted this story to be a unique origin for Trixie, sure (as well as sad and surprising) but back when I wrote it my intention was more focused on trying to create a view for Trixie through which the reader would have a hard time blaming her for wanting to be greater than she is. I wanted to explain her struggle against being second best and show a backstory that, while not making her later canon actions okay or acceptable, maybe made them understandable.
Ultimately I feel I was probably a little heavy-handed, but I'm okay with that. Almost oppressively sad is a guilty reading pleasure of mine.
I haven't read through this story in a good, long while, so thanks for commenting and giving me a reason to think it over again!
