Capper's Lives
After the party, with a gesture, Rarity decided to take Capper to the spa before he would go back to his hometown in the middle of a desert.
"Well Rarity, thank you so much for an invite to the spa." Capper began his words while Aloe was doing a massage to him. "This place you call, 'spa', I am sure I have heard it before, but haven't been to one in my whole life." he continued.
"Ah, anytime. I would love to spend time together here with my friends. Aloe, be a darling and bring me more moisture, please. My back needed this rest after the tiring epic adventures." Rarity said and smiled. "So, Capper, how did you find my cat?" she asked.
"Well Rarity, your land is sure different, however, we only have birds that we capture or snakes in our hometown as pets and I haven't seen a cat being used as a pet before. It is quite shocking that Opal cannot talk. She sure is lovely but also scary. I did feel some hatred from her for the first impression that I made." Capper replied and took a deep breath.
"I was shocked when I saw a cat that is talking too. I have a cat that does not talk but who knows what this world holds, secrets and mysteries everywhere darling. So, tell me how it all began." Rarity said meanwhile Capper held Rarity's hand to let her gently inside the hot tub as a friendly gesture.
When they entered to the hot tub and Lotus was refreshing the hot water inside, "What do you want to know?" asked Capper. "I sure was not always a thief and a secret black marketeer that you know," he said. "I was born in that place in the middle of nowhere. When my mom gave a birth to me and my two sisters, she died and my sisters were sold to other places for serving and slaves." he continued.
Rarity gasped. "Haven't you searched them?" she asked. "Didn't you search for your sisters?" she continued.
"Zillions of times. Why would I include a map in my home if it wasn't especially for them? I, unfortunately, did not have a chance to remark their faces. I was too little, without even knowing how did they look like, searched hopelessly. I haven't found them at all." Capper replied. "My father was too afraid to raise kids, so he already abandoned us before our mother gave birth to us." he continued.
"If they were taken and sold as servants, what happened to you then?" Rarity asked curiously.
"When you are an orphan or a kid without a family, you are in the arms of the cruel streets and since you have seen our city, you know how we love selling illegally and earning money from the highest bidders. I was sold too." Capper replied.
"Well, if you want, we can change the subject. I do not want to dig down your pain and release it all again." Rarity said.
"It is fine Rarity," Capper said and laid his back on the edge of the hot tub. "I was sold to Verko, the naked mole rat. The mole that I tried to sell all of you back in Klugetown. He took care of me, protected me and taught me how to survive in a cruel and a needy land like that." he continued. "Sometimes I am glad my sisters left that place, because of how pathetic our lives go on in that town."
"Is it true that you cats have nine lives? How many did you waste?" Rarity asked and laughed, she was hoping that by changing the subject it could relieve the atmosphere.
Capper laughed too. "Four, oh wait... Five, if you include the zapping that Tempest caused on me. Because I lost one of them there I assume." he answered.
"Would you mind telling me the other four?" Rarity asked.
"Sure, but you wouldn't want to listen. It might get both a little boring and foolish." Capper replied. Rarity was still looking at him in a curious way and was expecting to hear them all. Capper rolled his eyes.
He cleared his throat. "Alright, alright. Let me recall them first," he said. "My first loss would be at the age of seven. When I was working for Verko. I was like his super elastic agent, the helper, the assassin. Back in time, they called me the fiddler on the roof. Not because I played the violin but almost all the city knew, there was a cat silhouette that lurked on the rooves of the houses in Klugetown."
"Were you doing Verko's dirty works?" Rarity asked.
"Not 'were', I was doing it until the time you, the pastel-colored ponies came.". Capper answered. "It was the easiest way, for a cat, to do all the stealing and hidden jobs without even being noticed. However, one day, while the newest shopper in our town, but a gorgeous gem on their shelf to sell, I had to be the one to get it. I indeed achieved, however, the owner had securities. It was one of the worst security a dog." Capper continued.
"Did he get you?" Rarity asked with an excited tone. She was too adapted to the story and forgot how her hooves got wrinkled under water.
"If he got me, I wouldn't be here talking to you. However that would be a cooler story to tell, but no, while he was chasing, my attempt to jump from one roof to another failed and I hit the ground too hard. That is how I lost my first life. The second one is the coolest one actually." he said and stood up and got his towel.
"I was in Saddle Arabia in search of finding my sisters. However, my stealing instincts made me the center of attention over there too. I met with the meanest pony over there. I can not recall his name, Doctor Caballeron, or Caballson, but he sure was different. He was not only trying to trick me with the information he gave about my sisters, but he also wanted me to work for him." Capper said. "His bodyguards, after my rejection to work for him, beat me up really hard and I knew I lost my second one there. Since then I never wanted to go there ever." Capper said and shivered. "Even if my sisters are there, I would definitely think twice to step back to that horrible place again." he continued. "Rarity what is your biggest fear?" he asked.
"That guy is an enemy of Daring Do, we sure know who he is. He is untrustable. My fear is, obviously mud and dirt. Only two, oh and sometimes dust. It differs according to its' type though." Rarity replied and turned to Aloe. "Pedicure, please?" she gently asked after receiving a nod from Aloe. "What is yours? Water?" she asked but she realized they were in the hot tub.
"Well, unlike other cats, I am not afraid of water. I do not think cats do too, they just hate it." Capper said. "Mine is loneliness in which I faced the most on my other adventure, to the Yakyakistan. Another attempt to find my sisters. Also, another trial that ended up with losing another life of mine." Capper said.
Rarity laughed. "Did you lose your third and fourth life in search of your sisters too?" she asked.
"No... Only the second and third. The fourth one is when I was about to be pray of a dragon. Anyways, while I was in Yakyakistan, I saw a great army of changelings going through me. They called them changelings. I was alone, in the called, and they offered me to some food and clothing for a direction of a place, named 'Canterlot'. I didn't know and showed them a fake place to get the food. If I said, I didn't know I wouldn't survive at all, and I was starving. However, since they found you, I guess I told them the right path without knowing." Capper said.
"What? How can you lose a life, if they helped you survive?" Rarity asked. "Thank you so much, by the way, we almost lost Equestria because of them." she continued and rolled her eyes. "Past is in the past let's say."
"I lost a life because they stole my love. Without love, you lose kindness, and in a place where money is everything and after your love is being sucked, you expect others and yourself to be less polite, thoughtful, caring and kind. After my love is stolen, I felt like I lost another life. Also, the queen zapped me and threatened me to tell the place." he said and laughed. "So I really lost a life there."
"Wow, you really traveled all places, except Ponyville and Canterlot I guess..." Rarity said.
"I have never been to pony lands. You six were the first pastel colored ponies I have ever seen, to be honest," he replied.
"So, tell me how did you lose your fourth one, since you lost the fifth because of Tempest?" Rarity asked.
"As you know, Rarity, I am indeed a thief. I was about to sell something most precious that could worth zillions. A dragon egg. For that, I had to go to the dragon land. In which, the king Torch's newest and first child's egg. I was an elastic sneaker, he was giant, I was small. It would be nothing for me to grab the egg without noticing. However, their sense of smell was good enough to notice me. Yes, I was carrying Princess Ember's egg, to sell it, but I was chased. I grabbed it and tried to run but the egg was heavy and big enough to slow me. So I had to leave it there before I found myself in King Torch's mouth." Capper said. "I was almost safe when his long-shot fire burnt my whole body. Finally, I lost my fourth life," he said.
They were all finished with the relaxation and the service. They paid for all the benefits that they got the usage of and left the spa building of Aloe and Lotus.
"Well, we talked about myself a lot. What about you? What was the worst event that happened to you?" Capper asked.
Rarity laughed. "Once, I was captured by dogs," she answered.
"Now that might be something I am afraid of," Capper said. "Dogs and I, to be honest, talking or not talking, cannot get along. It is like, they want to prove themselves in their own way while we do the same thing too." he continued.
"We should do this more often..." Rarity said. "I like hanging out with you." she went on and smiled. She opened her house key and said "Before you leave, let's have a sleepover and play hide and seek, what do you say?" she asked.
Capper nodded. "Who wouldn't say no to a child game," he said.
After a long game and gossip night, Rarity knew she had a special friend. Furthermore, all the past is in the past and the bad things do not last forever, she knew she could trust this cat.
Before saying goodbye, although she already made him a new clothing, she sewed a new one. This was made from silk and there were real gold buttons on it. Hoping a new friend of her likes it, she closed her eyes and couldn't wait to give it to Capper at the morning.
Meanwhile, although Capper wanted to steal lots of stuff from Rarity's stuff, all the appealing gems and mines, he could not. He knew Rarity and his other pony friends care about him and showed kindness and he knew it was also the time for him to do the same gesture to the ponies.
With these thoughts, he also closed his eyes after he packed up his bag. He couldn't wait for the next time to meet Rarity again. He was wondering what more activities could they do and within these thoughts, he fell asleep.

Well, I really find this one good, how you connected all the thing that happened in the past to the new character. Great job! Keep up the good work! <3
Thumbs up from me! Can't wait to hear other character's backstories that you imagined.

Thanks both so much!
Wow I love your story
You might want to check out the MLP movie preview comic for some more info. Like the fact Capper's race has a kingdom of it's own that Storm King attacked and forced to pay him tribute. I'm sure the king and queen of the cats will see Capper as a national hero.
Abbysinia is the name of the land Storm King attacks and its capital is Purrisina (I think). Capper and his buddy Chummer get into trouble with Verko (the crime boss of Klugetown) where Capper eventually alludes to get his debts cleared in the movie.
This would make for a great short film follow-up to the movie. I loved it!!
While this is a pretty nice back story, it's a shame that Capper's back story is the most detailed story told in the movie prequel comic and therefore, this can't be a headcanon
For a quick reference;
The pirates have a pretty detailed story either, but only the reason on why they joined storm king
Tempest's back story is explained in the stormy road to Canterlot. It's massive but only covers her journey from her hometown up until the invasion of mt. Aris (it doesn't cover how she got super OP)
The seaponies however don't have any story except that one on the movie and a detailed version on how mt. Aris got attacked as part of Tempest's story
I can't wait to see the others.
This is so crazy because I have a similar idea, expanding on the new characters from the movie in exciting ways. I like to see that I'm not the only one. Great people think alike.
I like this. Can't wait to see more. Nice job!!!
I like this story. Capper's my favorite. Best cat ever!!!
