Did you plan this, too, Twilight? Tell me!
I spun in place quickly, trying to figure out what had just happened. I felt a burning sensation from my horn, and rubbed at it with a hoof.
Did I just teleport?! Whoa! I thought only really powerful unicorns could do that! But it just came so naturally!
Something about the fact that I had powerful unicorn magic bothered me, like it was unfamiliar, but I couldn't quite put a hoof on it. Besides, everything was at least a little unfamiliar right now, so it didn't seem that important.
What did seem important was that someone had just tried to blast me, and I was now in spooky woods.
Why were those ponies trying to hurt me? How did I get into that mess? Wait...
It started to dawn on me that I couldn't remember anything about that fight or those ponies.
Or about where I was. Or who I was. I keeled back onto my flank and began to hyperventilate and tug at my mane.
Oh no... oh no... I can't even remember my name! Why can't I remember my name?!
Parents? Friends?! I can't even remember where I live!
I started to have a real freak-out then, until I felt a reflexive kick of self-reproach and clamped down on those emotions with determination and resentment.
Get it together... me! Don't be a weak little foal! Concentrate! You were fighting a bunch of wizards, right? So they must have cursed you with memory-loss!
I started to get my heart-rate under control and I tried to quickly turn that idea over in my mind.
It makes sense, but why would they do something like that? It was just such an unsavory thing to do. Only the most vile and wicked ponies would cast some sort of memory curse, right?
Wait... I have super-powerful magic...
I had been fluttering my wings in my panic, and I suddenly registered what their presence meant.
Oh gosh... I'm a princess! I'm some kind of powerful magical princess of Equestria! Hey, I remember what Equestria is! And if evil wizards got together in a big group to stop me, it must mean...!
I couldn't remember reading comic books, but I certainly remembered their contents!
I'm a super hero! And not just any super hero, but a really powerful one that it takes a big group of powerful villains to stop! And I got away! I can still save the day, or whatever!
There was a deep sense of satisfaction at how incredibly powerful and influential I apparently was, but it was overshadowed as I came back around to the fact that I was still lost in the woods with some kind of evil mage army on my heels.
Right, so if I'm a powerful super hero, and I have enemies who might come from anywhere... I need a disguise, and fast! And a secret identity, and a cool super-hero name!
I looked around, but the forest wasn't quick to provide a costume and disguise kit. Dumb forest didn't know its place. But that wouldn't keep me down; I just tapped into my awesome magical powers to try to whip up a disguise. Unfortunately, it seemed like I couldn't actually change my appearance that easily.
Fiddlesticks! How am I going to hide from the legion of doom or whatever if I don't have a disguise?
A little more playing around with my powers and I at least felt my mane change a bit. A little exploration of the forest I'd found myself in revealed a clear river nearby, and I poked my head over it to see the results.
Eww, a blonde flat-top? I look ridiculous, I'd stand out way too much!
A few more spells and I settled on a very unassuming bob-cut in my original color, and managed to change my coat color to an off-white color. Somehow, I just knew this appearance would let me fade into the background, totally forgotten and overlooked by everypony.
I wonder why I feel so sure about that. Oh, darn! I have both wings and a horn; somepony's bound to notice THAT. Hmm... well, the wings would be easier to cover up than the horn. But how?
Wait, if I'm above them, ponies can't see the horn. If I fly into a town, I might go unnoticed long enough to get some clothes, and then I can cover my wings with a dress or something! I should cover my cutie-mark, too.
That line of thought suddenly prompted me to look at my cutie-mark. I expected to find something epic, like a bursting star, or maybe something mysterious like a patchwork of stars, indicating my arcane power. Instead, there was just a boring chess rook.
Then again, in chess, rooks are power. And super heroes are all about being a bulwark against villains, right? So that's the idea! I'm like a castle, or the rook in chess; I lock things down and stand between badguys and the vulnerable ones they try to prey on! Pretty cool, I guess.
With that positive attitude, I took to the skies with an ease that surprised me; I had an uncomfortable sense, like I did when I first used my magic, that something was unfamiliar about this kind of powerful, easy flight. I shrugged it off and climbed far over the tree-line, scanning the horizon until I saw a nearby town.
Huh. Looks deserted, nopony around. The legion of doom, or whatever that group of angry wizards is called, must have terrified the populace into submission. They'll pay for messing with stuff under my protection! This is MY domain! I think.
But in the meantime, this is perfect. I can sneak in without anypony around to notice!
So I made my way around quickly to the businesses that had windows; I reasoned that a clothing shop would have a prominent display of some kind, and my reasoning was soon rewarded. I found a garish carousel-themed clothing shop at the center of town, and slipped inside. All of the dresses in the front were far too eyecatching for what I needed, but I did find a simple blue cloak in the back that fit my needs perfectly. It even had a hood that could hide my horn, if I wanted! Bonus.
I snagged some extra cloth, along with some cosmetic contacts to change my eye-color to a light blue; something about that just called out to me as perfecting my 'obscure background pony' look. I had other plans for the cloth. After all, what kind of superhero didn't have a cool costume? I bundled all of that up in a backpack and headed back out into the town, and considered my next move, and how I'd put a stop to the villains.
That's right! The legion of doom will rue the day they crossed... me!
Man, I REALLY need to come up with a cool superhero name. But first I'd better find somewhere to hide!
And so I set off back into the forest, figuring it made for as good of a secret super hero hideout as any. Boy, was I in for a surprise!

Is cozy glow a sociopath my knowledg of psychology is on the level of sigmund freud and i dont want to get things wrong when i write her
This looks interesting and potentially hillarious. Hopefully it won't end badly for our new hero. I love how you can still see a bit of her villainy in her even now.
10006131
There is no concrete evidence or conformation of her being one.
Oh dear
Oh dear.
Oh dear.
This was wonderfully chaotic. Ever thought that crosses Cozy's mind was pure unadulterated magic. I eagerly await the untold shenanigans that lurk in future for our truly wonderful heroine.
10006143
Originally I kinda planned to just roll with her new persona wholesale, but I find it a lot funnier having it clearly and identifiably be Cozy Glow, just highlighting her more childish side and putting her in very different circumstances.
10006145
Glad you liked it. Given how tired I was when I wrote it I didn't feel like any of it came off.
I am so LOVING THIS!
Seriously this just has so much potential for chaos, that Discord himself might get jealous.
10006143
as i said my knowledg of psychology is limited. But considering the idea that friendship is not about personal gain flew completley over her head, im inclined to believe it. I mean if you in to a schoo whose whole purpose is to teach friendship and still not get that message there' something wron with you.
10006143
she seems like one whos not above tormenting a small animal at the very least
10006163
That could simply mean she's either very stubborn in her ways or has other mental issues. Just because her time at the school failed to teach her that doesn't mean she's incapable of genuene friendship.
She most likely simply memorized a bunch of texts and lectures and presumably aced some tests and while that would make her a good student, it wouldn't make her good at friendship and I don't remember seeing her participate in any extracurricular activities with anyone else besides assisting Twilight. I remember having to memorize poems in middle school and while I did manage to do that and get a nice grade for it I never really got the meaning of those poems nor did I ever take any lessons it may or may not have had to heart. Not to mention how most of the classes seamed to consist of either history lessons or whatever subjects the Main 6 wanted to teach (animal care, PE).
TLDR, going to a friendship school doesn't mean you'll immedietly be a good person with lot's of friends.
10006155
Glad to hear it ^.^ Hope I can live up to that promise
10006177
You're basically right about all of this. Still, even if she just memorized everything, it could come in handy later...
10006178
Glad you think so!
Stealing isn't especially heroic...
Though one supposes it could be justified as part of the greater good. Hmm.
10006262
Right now she's justifying it as 'need outfit to not die'

10006437
YOUR WISH IS GRANTED
10006262
The Greater Good.
Is she turning into Coco Pommel? Cause that's the image I got from these descriptions. If so, that's way too adorable. Quite literally.
10011006
Hahaha, yes! you're the first one to get that! She turned into what she vaguely remembered as the most forgettable pony ever.
Barely getting started and I am already loving where this is going. It almost sounds like she's changed her appearance to look like Coco Pommel, although that cutie mark is a dead giveaway. And it's funny how everything she's seeing or remembering is further convincing her that she's an alicorn princess superhero. I wonder how she'll react when she hears who she really is.
Do you even pose.

I bet
Might want to work a bit on finding your actual identity first
Y'know. Besides the horn and wings
Ah. At least she realises
To be fair, a chess tower cutie mark indeed does not immediately imply you're playing chess with everyone's lives around you. Kudos to her for finding a better meaning in it
Aw. I really wished she'd have found an old Mare-Do-Well costume in there.
Sorry, not gonna get much mileage out of those with me

Oh hey! Glad to see you here. Come in, slide up, grab a drink, and enjoy the insane story of Cozy Glow's journey.
Ah, first person. Not usually my first choice but let’s go with it. The mind of a sociopathic/psychopathic/cursed/manipulative/insert-vague-descriptor-here child everybody!
That said, Cozy isn’t an idiot, so there’s some good deductions here and there.
I love this premise way, way too much.
…I see you thinking you’re clever.
Yes. Yes you do. You also need to come up with your real name.
I feel insulted that I somehow missed them.
-GM, master of Funny Valentine.
10048804
Same regarding the premise. I came up with it and just went all-in. Also, the blonde flat-top was a reference to Stroheim.
Well, up until this point her derivations were spot on
This is MY domain! I think. image you head to the finally boss and heard that.
10048804
Legion of Doom is recurring comic term, DC used it, Dark Horse used it.
To think about it, there was Dark Horse hero named Rook <.<
Priority 1: Secret Identity. Priority N+1: Actual Identity.
To be fair, nobody else knows that either. Seriously, if I were an in-universe character I'd be slightly terrified of how this near-demonic filly basically came out of nowhere.
