Queen Novo has passed, and Skystar's coronation is getting closer by the day. It's a big responsibility to take the throne, and Skystar is worried that she can never be what her people need, can never replace her mother, while she's herself. With Shelly and Sheldon at her side, she decides to undertake the arduous task of trying to grow up. How hard can it be?
Entry for FanOfMostEverything's 2nd Imposing Sovereigns Contest, for Coronation: Princess Skystar.
Special thanks to GaPJaxie for help with brainstorming.
Chapters (1)
okay so a few points here, coral was out of line, like way out of line, as in the line is no longer within corals timezone anymore. honestly predominantly coral comes across as less her actual friend and more the 'friend who wants a puppet on the throne' kinda 'friend'. coral already edged close to some pretty bad charges, might want to reign in how much corals willing to say and do a bit. this may be just me but it is a worrying point.
seaspray needs more interaction with skystar, he worked with her mother for countless years from what we know, hell he may have seen her grow up. seems like a scene with him trying to give her some comfort would make sense.
the rest is good, your showing her dealing with grief and depression well and the story has a good flow, one wonders where her family is at this time but otherwise good story.
Flashgen's autumn BOOM of stories continues! :D
Would look at this one when I have free time. :)
Poor Thorax doesn't get a title.
In any case, great tale of Skystar finding the right work-life balance. Which is a rather critical process when you're, you know, about to start ruling a nation. The pacing is a bit ponderous at times, but this was some fantastic drama overall.
But seriously, Pinkie, time and place. Just because the cannon works in the Friendship Council doesn't mean it works in all governmental meetings.
Thank you for this. Best of luck in the judging. Long live Queen Skystar, Friend to Oysters.
Poor Pinkie doesn't get any acknowledge in the character tags? Shameful!
But you know what? I think despite with all of her issues that she has to work through, and probably will be working through in times to come, I think Skystar will make a great ruler.
But Coral... Yeah, I'll have to agree with 9936768 here. Skystar may want to reign the griff in, really. Coral does come across as that kind of person who wants a puppet ruler on the throne just so they can rule from the shadows.
But yeah, this was a... great look into Depression. Like, it was. Take away everything, and in the end? Skystar is just a seapony wanting her mother back.

Pinkie was originally in the tags (along with OC) but seeing some people talk about them in a discord chat, I took a look again and it does say "Main Characters". In the end, I thought it was a story primarily about Skystar, so I removed the other two.
A very nice story. Kind of wish she had made some friends, but hopefully silverstream can help with that.
I swear to god before you mentioned silverstream i thought she was the same character as skystar. All this time, since season 8. Pretty sure there have been other stories where they call her a princess.

They are related, and the hippogriff escorting Silverstream during the season premiere with the school calls her Queen Novo's niece, so it's possible she is a princess and royalty in some capacity.
