Serrated Fabric stopped listening and glanced at the corner behind her friends. There was a small blue filly attempting to cast a spell. She's really young. Serrated couldn't tell what spell the filly was attempting, but she could tell it wasn't going well. Serrated wondered who the filly was. She had seen her a few times but didn't know anything about her. How long has she been here? Probably not long. I don't know her... Serrated glanced across the room, towards the other group. They best not be planning anything.
Looking back at the blue filly, Fabric noticed sparks emitting from the filly's horn. They weren't very bright, and it looked as if she was bad at casting. Serrated looked up at her own forehead, seeing only blue and pink mane. She wasn't exactly an expert, but she could tell the filly was struggling.
Serrated fabric looked back at her friends and picked up the ball on the ground. "So, does anypony want to go play hoofball?" She was met with cheers.
Serrated glanced at the filly in the corner as she exited the orphanage with a frown on her face.
rival or motivation shall be inspired in that filly...
Curious how this will play out.

Thank you. Glad to hear you like it and think it's good. I only hope it will continue to be well-written.

Aqua is by no means strong and is not skilled enough to even dampen a defensive magical barrier. Aqua right now, versus an age-matched Twilight, would lose in a second against Twilight.
Twilight, even before being the literal element of magic/friendship, was exceedingly powerful. There could be a couple of reasons for that. The show doesn't perfectly elaborate on if she was strong before her entrance exam, or after. But at this age, Twilight would have already enrolled for at least a year or two. Not to mention being Celestia's direct student for the same amount of time. Aqua is exceedingly uneducated compared to Twilight.
But, the two of them have different purposes, after all.

I really really like the idea of the bumpy mark on a blind pony. Aqua is yet to have a mark yet, so it's entirely possible she will have one like that.

Glad you're enjoying the story so far.
I'm going to respond to all your comments with this one, so:
I'm going to point to the Alternate Universe Tag. As well as the fact that nowhere in the story, nor in my comments, has it been made clear what the time frame for this story is yet. I decided when the story takes place when I started writing, but there's been no reason for the characters to bring it up. Also, so far, nothing is shown to be different from this universe. Though that will change, likely soon.
I will admit, I've played more than a few games and watched more than a few things that include magic or magic systems. I'm influenced by quite a few of them, but I will never copy any of them. Not for fear of copyright infringement but rather, because I do not think they got it right.
In terms of Serrated Fabric, time shall tell.

One, or the other. Or perhaps a third?
Sorry, there's not much to work with, in terms of learning about her. I intend to post the next part within two days.
Perhaps she could become a blind martial arts master

Lemme just make Toph 2.0 real quick...

Indeed they do have different purposes.
