Description The only two newly born alicorns known to Equestria. Celestia and Luna are the remnants of an ancient alicorn civilization, and were, until Flurry's birth, the last "natural" alicorns. Alicorns contain the aspects of the three pony races, and are extremely powerful magic users. Typically their magic pertained to celestial bodies or inter-dimensional pursuits. From the day they were born, there was talk of their future union. As Luna and Celestia ruled together, these two would rule as one as well. Romantic or not, their relationship was arranged. Yet the two find themselves naturally close and understanding of one another. 

 Janus "Bluejay" Starstepper
-lawful good; very introverted 
-possibly the largest pony in recent history 
-extremely shy, and wary of others 
-avid reader and writer; deep thinking pony 
-has no desire to be a prince 
-has mysterious powers including premonition and viewing into other realities; he feels connected with the night and winter season
-highly logical; excellent mathematician
-has difficulty understanding others; reading facial expressions or reactions confuses him at times 
-recluses himself in his study; missed his own coronation because he was engrossed in a book about deep sea fish 
-easily disoriented, does not feel connected with what's around him at times 
-does not know who his father was; although he has some idea of being related to Wendigos 
-has a very close relationship with his parents; Janus was a child with a lot of needs, and so earned the attention of both Luna and his adoptive father Nightingale
-no one may touch him 
-loves animals, fears children 
-loves Flurry Heart; he likes to kiss her nose, but anything else is out of the question
-creatively bankrupt; but is excellent at ballet thanks to Flurry 

Princess Flurry Heart 
-lawful good; extroverted 
-a good Princess devoted to duty; I liken her to Nausicaä
-has always been bulky with a thick, curly coat 
-she seems to have an attachment to the sun; more specifically bringing forth the summer season
-really admires her parents and works hard to rule the Crystal Empire
-immortal, just like Janus
-cannot cook for the life of her
-really into sci-fi and comic books thanks to her father, who also taught her sword-fighting 
-tackles a myriad of skills; ballet, fencing, flugelhorn-playing, speech and debate, chess, etc 
-adores her cousin Ipo
-used to be very close with Fluttershy, Larkspur, Brick and Bastion, but her training called her away from the rest of her friends and family 
-definitely loves Janus, although she is not sure in what way

I'm not sure what Flurry Heart's cutie mark ought to be. I love the idea of her being connected with the Crystal Heart, and so has the ability to turn winter into summer. I don't want Janus and Flurry to be basically Celestia and Luna clones, so I prefer to align them with the themes of winter versus summer. I also want to avoid making Flurry too...good? She need some flaws. I'm thinking she is very impatient and bratty at times; she is a princess after all who has had enormous privileges given to her. I'll think about this! In the mean time, I'd love to hear your thoughts on Flurry Heart! Or Janus!

I hope this isn’t rude, but I’m curious, is Janus autistic?

Ooh I really love all of this!! Especially her being eager to jump into problems that aren’t hers, and feeling pretty above it all. Maybe Janus can keep her grounded.

Maybe Flurry can have trouble to understand or even accept other ponies difficulties. She can do a lot of things with high skills and is a princess with all sort of privileges. She could have trouble to understand that someone else can have difficulties to do something. She could even have trouble to understand the life of poor ponies. Or even normal citizens who are not elite.

I meet some people who don't understand why I work during my studies. And why I was't able to buy a house around my university in Paris that is one of the most expensive city. They were surprised I have to take subway instead of taxi. they find me weird because of this. They don't understand I can't have the same life as them because of money. They weren't bad, they just never live as proletarian and can't understand what that was to not being upperclass and having to take a job. I think that could be an interesting flaw for a heir. Because they have to rule a country but have trouble to connect with their peoples. And they have to learn empathy and questioning themselves and their life, politic and all.

maybe flurry isn't as good conversing face to face with her people? like, she can do big speeches but just isn't good at one on one confrontation and prefers to avoid it/and conflict. and on the note of her being impatient, maybe she can interrupt others at times/will speak for them?

but i love ur designs for them!! both of them are adorable

I like the idea of her speaking for others. It makes sense she thinks she has to in order to be an understanding princess.

and thank you!!

I love the concepts of them both! I'm especially fond of Janus, I relate to being disoriented easily, lmao. Perhaps a good flaw for Flurry is putting duty above all relationships? That would be well suited to the setting.

Flurry is thicc and fluff, but she’s larger than the average pony. Not as big as Ida Red, but bigger than Twilight Sparkle lol it’s just that Janus is gigantic so Flurry is relatively small.

Welll...they won't be having babs. I headcanon that when an immortal alicorn has a baby, their immortality is passed to that child. They could have babies, but the plan is that they'll rule together forever. Doesn't mean they can't adopt though!

Yesss I’m gonna look into aesexual relationships to get inspo for them. I just have to decide whether both of them are actually aesexual. Not that I feel like they shouldn’t be, but because I think it would be an interesting dilemma if one of them wasn’t. Like, tension between duty and personal interest. It may just even be tension in their relationship. Idk if that would be fun to read though.
