## History

### Background

Misty was once a filly living in Bridlewood living with her father, Alphabittle Blossomforth. While in Bridlewood, Alphabittle constantly introduces Misty to every unicorn, which she loved a bit of the attention she got from other unicorns.

Misty and Alphabittle always have fun together, especially at the playground playing with the seesaw, the filly-go-round, the slides, and the swings which Alphabittle pushes her on whenever she wants to play on them. She and Alphabittle also went to a circus once, and remembers when Alphabittle puts on a rubber clown nose that made her laugh, and remembered going to a Unicorn Art Gallery and seeing a portrait of Shining Armor which she loved the most.

One time, Misty and Alphabittle were shopping at the Bridlewood Night Market, and Misty started feeling anxious around a lot of ponies trotting by. Her Anxiety must've got to her even in the Unicorn Poetry Youth Slam, on her topic of Glowpez crystals. Days later, Misty went outside of her home collecting Glowpez crystals, until she came across a bunnycorn and followed it to a large tree that contained a mystical door that could take her anywhere in Equestria that she wants to visit.

Upon coming across the tree, Alphabittle began searching for Misty as he was calling her out for dinner. She then ran around the area as the fog grew closer and closer to her. She then ended up in unfamiliar territory, which is presumed to be the place where Opaline finds her and adopts her, having become her new slave.

### Chapter 1

Misty first appears in the hour-long special Make Your Mark, appearing very briefly near the end beside her evil Alicorn master Opaline.

### Chapter 2

In Izzy Does It, Misty begins spying on the Mane Five for Opaline, with the hope that Opaline will one day give her a cutie mark in return for her servitude. She covertly leaves a magic compact mirror for Sunny Starscout in order for Opaline to spy on her in particular. In Growing Pains, she observes the ponies' new magic and how it works. In Portrait of a Princess, Misty lures Pipp Petals and Zipp Storm into a trap in an effort to get rid of them, but her trap ultimately backfires.

In Ali-Conned, Misty poses as a member of the social media group, the Filly Four, and tries to plant the idea in Sunny's head that being an Alicorn makes her better than everyone else. In The Cutie Mark Mix-Up, she observes as Opaline's magically-conjured mouse infiltrate the Crystal Brighthouse. In The Traditional Unicorn Sleep-Over, Misty takes a more proactive role in her espionage: she befriends Izzy Moonbow and gets invited to a sleepover at the Brighthouse in order to steal Sunny's magic lantern. However, her nervous behavior and questionable stories about Equestria's origins draw Zipp's suspicions.

In Hoof Done It?, Misty steals the lantern but soon loses it when Pipp discovers where Misty hid it. In her efforts to get the lantern back, she once again makes Zipp suspicious of her, eventually culminating in a tense confrontation at Mane Melody. In Have You Seen This Dragon?, after Opaline has set her sights on Sparky Sparkeroni's magic dragonfire, Misty kidnaps the baby dragon and attempts to bring him to Opaline's castle, but Sparky outsmarts her at every turn. In the end, Misty only manages to capture some of his dragonfire in a jar. Though it boosts Opaline's power a little, she berates Misty for her repeated failures, and Misty crawls away in tears.

### Chapter 4

In Top Remodel, Misty spies on Zipp, learns about the message from Twilight Sparkle, and relays it to Opaline. She also creates a companion for herself named "Madame Taffytail" and vents her indecisions to it. In The Jinxie Games, Misty is sent by Opaline to capture Sparky but finds the Brighthouse empty due to its occupants being in Bridlewood. Misty gets a chance to take Sparky without being noticed but chooses not to. In Sunny Side Up, Misty is punished for her constant failures by being literally "grounded" by Opaline's magic. During this time, she watches Sunny and Hitch's cooking show and realizes that she can't keep serving Opaline.

In The Manesquerade Ball, Misty is invited to the ball by Izzy. While there, she follows Zipp into the Zephyr Heights archives. When Zipp catches her, Misty confesses to not having a cutie mark. She also joins Sunny and her friends in their "unity dance" and tears out several pages from a book on Alicorns that Zipp found to keep her from learning about Opaline. In Missing the Mark, Misty finally succeeds in snatching Sparky for Opaline. But when she learns Opaline intends to drain all of Sparky's magic, she decides to lead Sunny and the others to the castle. This leads to Opaline capturing the five, and revealing Misty's allegiance to her. Overcome with guilt, Misty frees her friends, earning her cutie mark in the process. She also pretends to have been overpowered by them, allowing her to spy on Opaline for her new friends.

### Chapter 5

In Cutie Blossom Bash, Misty is brought to Zephyr Heights by her friends to take part in a ceremony that celebrates ponies getting their cutie marks. She struggles with the idea of being in the spotlight (especially since she is the oldest pony there by a wide margin), and ultimately confesses this to her friends, who decide to hold a private ceremony for her. Afterwards, Misty decides to return to Opaline's castle and act as a double agent, gathering information for her new friends.

In Family Trees Pt. 1, Misty starts having vivid dreams of getting lost as a filly, driving her friends to bring her to Bridlewood in hopes of finding answers. Misty's cutie mark magic inadvertantly bring the Breezies out of hiding, and leads to the discovery of the Breezies' Night Market. While there, Misty is given a magic key that can take her to wherever she wants (but can only be used once), and once again gets lost. In Family Trees Pt. 2, Misty finds her way back to her friends. She chooses to use the key to open a way to the Dragonlands so Sparky can fully recover from having his magic drained by Opaline. Upon their return, Pipp shows her a picture of herself, Zipp, Queen Haven and Alphabittle. Upon seeing the picture, Misty remembers that Alphabittle is her father, and joyfully reunites with him.

In Father of the Bridlewood, Misty spends with the day with Alphabittle, but is uncomfortable with all the activities he brings her into. After she finally admits to him how she feels, the two agree to start over, and Alphabittle arranges for Misty's friends to make a room for her at the Brighthouse.

In Mane Smelody, Misty listens to Opaline describing her plan to drain the dragons of their magic and possess the Dragon Lands, and races over to Maretime Bay to inform her friends. In Nightmare on Mane Street, Misty celebrates Nightmare Night with her friends, with most of it spent withstanding Pipp's attempts to scare her. She is also present when Sparky's fire accidentally uncovers a map to the dragons' home, the Isle of Scaly, and notes that they need to warn the dragons of Opaline's impending arrival.

## *LEGO Ninjago & My Little Pony: Wonderful Stories*

### Season 1

Misty makes several supporting and background appearances in the 2D animated YouTube web series *Wonderful Stories*. In Dragon Dad, which is set after *Perfect Together Chapter 2*, she continues to observe Sparky Sparkeroni's magic dragonfire, mostly to her own comedic physical harm. In Nightmare Night Party, Misty sneaks into the Mane Five's costume party in order to cause trouble and get the ponies to use their magic so she and Opaline can observe how it works. In Haunted House, Misty lures the Mane Five to a haunted house so she can steal Sparky away from them, but her plot fails.

In Under the Mistytoe, which is set near the end of Winter Wishday, Misty sneaks into the Crystal Brighthouse to kidnap Sparky while the Mane Five are asleep, but she accidentally kidnaps Cloudpuff instead. In Secret Ad-mare-er, she briefly appears during Izzy's song Ain't Gonna Wait. In Ponykind Parade-emonium, Misty causes chaos during the Ponykind Parade by inducing rage and hunger in Maretime Bay's critters.

In Sparky's Sick, Misty takes advantage of Sparky's hiccup-burps to try and steal him away, but she ends up suffering his bad gas. In Sunny's Smoothie Moves, she helps the Mane Five save Maretime Bay from Sunny's malfunctioning smoothie-making robot. In Mission Imponable, she attempts to steal the Unity Crystals in a skydiving heist but ultimately fails. In Opaline Alone, Misty spends the day having fun with the Mane Five as part of an "important task" to bring Opaline a smoothie. In As the Misty Clears, after Opaline exerts her dark influence over the Mane Five via her necklace, Misty shatters the necklace into pieces.

In I've Seen Fire and I've Seen Rain(bows), Misty is present as her friends recap the events of Missing the Mark to Jazz Hooves. She still feels guilt over helping Opaline, but the others assure her that she proved herself to be a good pony when it counted. After the story concludes, Misty looks worriedly out of Mane Melody's window, concerned about Opaline's next move. In Hot Day, Huh?, Misty feels sorry for Zipp after everypony ignores her suggestion to spend an unusually hot day at the beach, and she joins Zipp for a day of fun together.

In Sparkle School, Misty struggles with getting her cutie mark to sparkle like the rest of her friends. But with encouragement and understanding from Sunny, she finally succeeds in gaining the sparkle.

In Nightmare Nightmarket, Misty and her friends are turned into foals by magic glitter, and returned to normal by Alphabittle. In Misty Moves In, she struggles with adjusting to living in the Crystal Brighthouse. In Friday Night Food Fight, she tries to avoid getting caught up in the unicorns' weekly food fight, only to step up when Alphabittle is hit trying to protect her.

## Personality

Misty is first introduced to the audience looking unnerved as Opaline laughs evilly while spying on the ponies, suggesting that Misty is intimidated by her mistress. Despite this and her innocent looks however, she remains openly evil like Opaline herself, grinning evilly and joining Opaline in an evil laugh, showing that she always admire and wanted to be just like her despite receiving abuse and mistreatment from her. Misty is also shown to be a capable spy, infiltrating Maretime Bay by stealth and acting as a mole for Opaline. Unlike Opaline, she clearly does have standards as she was horrified after Opaline disintegrates an artificial mouse into nothing and decided not to capture Sparky anymore.

Misty is very timid and insecure when she's around the ponies, which is implied why she had no friends to talk to besides Queen Opaline. However when she's around with the Mane Five, she began to enjoy their company despite remains working for Opaline, but keeps her allegiance with Opaline in secret in order to avoid getting mistrusted. However, when her friends find out the truth, she realizes that she would rather have no cutie mark, have no friends and risks everything to save them, and then in return earning her cutie mark, secretly becoming the six member of the team, but choosing to stay in and act like a double agent in order to help them stop her mother.

## Appearance

Misty is a slender, sky-blue-coated female Unicorn, having freckles on her cheeks and her fetlocks, insides of her ears, as well as her chest to her stomach, being colored in a lavender-pink. She possesses mint-green eyes, small yet fluttery-like eyelashes, hale-navy eyebrows, grayish-purple hooves, as well as having a kinky, navy-blue mane and tail with teal-green highlights, with her mane being swooped to her right side with three cornrows on the left side of her scalp. As per her pony type, she possesses a long, bumpy horn with a sky-blue and lavender-pink gradient, complete with a pattern of pink swirls around it.

Before Chapter 4, Misty did not have a cutie mark. However, in order to blend in, she drew one of a butterfly with navy-blue outlines, complete with lavender-pink accents, as well as a small, lavender-pink heart on top.

As of Chapter 4, Misty *finally* received a cutie mark as reward for freeing the Mane Five; a butterfly with its body being colored in a coral-pink, with its dark purple and magenta-pink wings having magenta and coral-pink spots. To match her cutie mark, Misty also had her mane and tail dyed to a gradient of two-tone purple and hot-pink, with noticeable tips of coral-orange. Along with her new appearance, she now wears a friendship bracelet on her left hoof that Izzy made for her, which has the Mane Five's cutie marks printed on its pendants.

When she was a filly, Misty kept her mane in afro puffs with a few coiled bangs peeking out.
