Glitter

Glitter Surprise Sparkle is the central character of Genesis. Had Glitter been an actress, she would always be typecast as the smart, powerful, magical, geeky girl-hero who saves the day. But Glitter wants to shake that reputation off her back and come out of her mother's shadow. Is it so hard to ask for a little indivuality?

Family and Early Life
Glitter was born to Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie in 1009. Being the daughter of two such famous ponies, she was given almost everything she needed growing up. Except instead of having the bond with her mother she'd always dreamed of, she became Twilight's second thought when Princess Celestia sent Twilight a young filly, Bright Eyes, to take as her own personal student. Glitter was also stereotyped as "Twilight's Filly" and went both unrecognized for her personal acheivements and expected to follow her mother's footsteps.

Through intense self-training she's become relatively good at magic, but her real skill lies in her ability to understand others without question. She's so caught up in a paradoxical battle of trying to become both closer and further from her mother that she doesn't discover this talent until she's a full-grown mare.

Relationships
Glitter gets along very well with her parents. Her best friend, Apple Bourbon, is always by her side through thick and thin.

Personality and Abilities
Glitter's defining feature is her innate sense of empathy. Her personality and behavior often reflect that of those around her or of recent events. While capable of being her own mare, she often struggles with being defined by others. Spells that come natural to her include memory reflection and seratonin simulation spells, both excellent tools for a therapist (if she decides to pursue that path).

The color of Glitter's magic is periwinkle with off-yellow sparkles.
