Brand new AU! I'm using Starlight because I actually really like her character.



I have plans for characters that don't make the switches 1-1. An example would be: Starlight here very clearly takes the role of Twilight. However, Twilight does not take Starlight's role.



The story is pretty much the same as the show. Starlight is Princess Cadence's prized pupil who'd rather magics than spend time making friends. Starlight gets sent to Ponyville, makes some friends, and reunites Princess Cadence with her estranged daughter Flurry Heart, who'd gone rogue in a jealous fit for being seen as inferior and less beautiful than her mother.



Now what would make a good "nightmare" counterpart name for Flurry? Shattered Heart? ...Snowstorm?







Character switches are as follows:



Vapor Trail - Fluttershy

Trixie - Rarity

Sunflower - Applejack

Lemon Zest - Pinkie Pie

Fleetfoot - Rainbow Dash

Starlight Glimmer - Twilight Sparkle







Some explanations:





Sunflower is Applejack's cousin and Bab Seed's older sister in the MLP comics. The other choice I had in mind for her was Gloriosa Daisy, but Sunflower won out because I like her design more and she's a fairly unused character.



The reason I chose to use Fleetfoot here instead of someone like Spitfire, Lightning Dust, or Indigo Zap is because I think she's cute and she's as good a counterpart as the other three.



I keep changing Rarity's counterpart because I feel like I can't find a good medium. First was Twinkleshine, then Lily Lace, and now it's Trixie.



Everyone in this AU except for Vapor Trail has been an antagonist at some point. It wasn't my intention at first but I kinda like it.
