Character Summary:

History – Born deep inside of Everfree forest within the Colony of the Changelings and deemed to be their next leader once she was of proper age. Chrysalis was brought up to be a cunning ruler whose goal was to get what she needed at whatever the cost. Her mother Shadoweye raised Chrysalis very strictly, the little changeling confined to the darkness of Everfree as she learned about the lives of the Changelings and how to hone her powers. As she grew up into a worthy leader the forests of Everfree began to become too small for the Queen’s liking. One faithful day a pair of ponies were trespassing through the dark woods, the pair, a unicorn male and earth pony mare both oblivious to the dangers within. Ponies passed through Everfree before but there was something special about this pair. Both ponies were deeply in love, so much so that it beckoned Chrysalis like the sweetest song. That was the first day she got a taste of true love, sneakily separating the pair of ponies while taking experimental transformation chances. Their love was good enough to state a small amount of her hunger but she wanted more. The love she took from both wasn’t enough to drastically change the pair’s thoughts for eachother and soon they were back on their way to Canterlot. Chrysalis had kept a close watch on the pair, following them silently until they reached the end of Everfree, but by that time the Queen had already seen as much as she needed.

The lands beyond Everfree were vast, the massive fields of green grass and beautiful scenery actually brought a small smile to her face. The land was also overflowing with love capable of feeding her entire Colony for quite a while. Yes, this was where she would migrate the Changelings, but she needed to find the perfect place now that she had found a never ending supply of food. Months passed as she surveyed one of the pony cities, sometimes going to Ponyville disguised as one of its residents to gather more information, watching the various events unfold from the shadows. She could have made a move during the Night Mare Moon scare but a group of ponies apparently had resolved the situation with something called the Elements of Harmony, she needed to gather more information. Soon she found the bearers of the Elements themselves while gathering intel, their love for each other was great, nearly great enough for her to attempt to feed from them…but something wasn’t right. She had a feeling that if she tried to she would be found out quickly for what she truly was and once again decided to bind her time. Then came one of the most frightening moments in her life as a changeling. An entity known as Discord was released and the ensuing chaos from his arrival nearly sent her fleeing back to Everfree.

The beautiful land and its love she wanted to feed off of was ripped apart and patched back together in the worst possible way. She couldn’t tell up from down or day from night, nothing made sense to her in this strange place anymore. Even her power had begun to betray her, the Queen changing into whatever she happened to lay eyes on, luckily her constant changing was blamed on the chaos and most ponies that were somewhat normal dismissed her as an anomaly. Once again however the Elements of Harmony were once again used to right the chaotic wrongs. Two times they were used to stop a threat towards Equestria, Chrysalis needed to find a way to stop them if her plan was going to work.

The chaos around Ponyville was too great for the Queen to handle at the time, but her stay there provided her with enough information about the surrounding cities and she never gave up hope. Her next destination was Canterlot, the home of the Princesses. A risky move on her part but the city was flowing with just as much love as Ponyville, possibly even more so. Feeding off of the love in the city was more than enough to fuel her Changeling powers as she explored. Canterlot was huge, and after a few weeks of exploring she even found out about a series of underground tunnels in the mountain. Yes, luck was starting to side with her in the matter, even going so far as to deliver the greatest gift to all right at her hooves.

A wedding, the very peak of one’s true love, was happening in Canterlot. Shining Armor and Princess Cadence would join together in matrimony, at least that was what the citizens would think. The love she had fed on helped immensely in her capture of the Princess. She had to go to the Alicorn’s chamber in the castle under the cover of night, disguising herself as one of Celestia’s guards making one of the many nightly rounds. Cadence was far too busy with her thoughts about the wedding than her own safety, which was more than ok to Chrysalis. By the time the Alicorn figured out something was wrong with the guard it was far too late, a quick scream was all she could get out before she was enveloped by green magic and transported into the tunnels underneath Canterlot.

There was some apprehension at first but Chrysalis’s masterful disguise smoothed things over after a while, the Queen now feeding on the wellspring of love pouring off of Cadence’s Fiancé. All was going according to plan, a quick flight to Everfree forest to inform her subjects about their new home was next on her list but as she did so, some of them were too anxious to arrive. Their eagerness along with the ever watchful eyes of the princesses was enough to throw a wrench into her plans. Celestia had caught sight of a few of her subjects trying to sneak into Canterlot, quickly she informed Shining Armor of the intrusion, the stallion quickly thinking up a plan to protect the site of his wedding. A barrier was formed to guard Canterlot from the changelings, on Chrysalis counted herself lucky to be inside at the time of its formation. She was trapped inside Canterlot but she had no desire to leave it anytime soon, she would find a way to get her subjects through the barrier.

The instrument of her success arrived in Canterlot a few days later. Twilight Sparkle, the bearer of the Element of Magic, and her friends. Right away the mare knew grew suspicious of Chrysalis but her status was already cemented and so the Queen didn’t worry about the pesky unicorn. But still the mare persisted, even spying on one of Chrysalis’s “healing” spells on Shining Armor, the Stallion had begun to catch onto her little by little as well. Twilight almost exposed her but quick thinking and a little acting turned the Unicorn’s friends and even the Princess against her. Chrysalis couldn’t have been more happy. It seemed like this day was going to be perfect.

Her luck however had decided to run out. Twilight had found the real Cadence, forcing Chrysalis to reveal her true form. It was too late for them though, the love she fed on from Shining Armor was more than enough to fuel her plan, even Celestia herself couldn’t stand against her might, the barrier was broken through by her many changelings and soon they would feed, Canterlot was nearly within her grasp. The very love she fed on proved to be her downfall in the end. With the reunion of Cadence and Shining Armor, the overwhelming power of their love was more than enough to blast Chrysalis and even her subjects back into the darkness of Everfree Forest, The Queen of the Changelings…had failed.
