(Spoiler'd for Length) Story: History Jewel had a very strict, but productive early chidhood in Canterlot. Her father began to regret his decision to not join the military, and began to press magical aptitude onto Jewel. He encouraged her to study day after day, but she seemed to have little interest in books. Despite being stern, Shadow was fair to Jewel, and was more of a stay-at-home-father since he worked at night, while his wife had normal business hours. As for Gem, well, she was rarely home, but did her best to provide for the family. She showed her love by showering Jewel with material objects like toys, clothing, and jewelry. Despite this attention, she began causing mischief - stealing from other foals, lashing out, and being a genuine brat. It all was very minor, but still depreciating from her otherwise wonderful personality. It seemed like having too much free time and being forced into studying was taking its toll. Thankfully, her father began to notice and eased up on her. One day, thinking that if he gave Jewel something to do, she'd be a bit more well-behaved, Shadow took her to see a play. Jewel became enamored by what she saw. Actresses, actors, lights, and the clothes - everything was so wonderful! It seemed that she inherited her mother's eye for beauty. So, she begged her father for them to stay after the show, since the cast was offering autographs. There, she was able to meet some of the ponies who put on the play. The company had an actress, Limelight, who was in need of a young apprentice to help out around the theater. After she had a chance to speak to Jewel and saw her enthusiasm, she invited the filly as her apprentice. Her parents allowed her to visit the theater twice a week, although they were determined for their precious filly to be more that just an actress. They enrolled her in the Canterlot University, hoping that their Jewel would both straighten up and have an accomplished future. Personality and Flaws Jewel is a very out-going and graceful filly, who is always certain to use her manners (in public, anyway). She obtained a bit of her mother's naughty streak, which leads her to be quite the troublemaker - but really, what fillies aren't? The biggest part of her personality is her dedication and artistic tendencies. She has an eye for design, something that she is discovering while volunteering at the theater. Some of her biggest flaws include naivety, lying, and sometimes cheating to get what she wants. Working at the theater is also giving her a bit of a chip on her shoulder... (Maybe a bit of a reality check is just what this pony needs!) Cutie Mark Story Extra Information (I left a lot of room for Jewel to grow as a pony and really find herself. Hopefully she'll have a chance to meet some very influential ponies who will change her perceptions!)
