## Physical traits and personality

Firefly is a male changeling with his distinctive green skin and an orange crest, and he shows a similar appearance that's further accentuated in his pony form with a lush green coat and orange hair. Despite his colorful appearance, Firefly is characterized by an innate shyness and reserved demeanor, particularly in the presence of ponies. His introverted nature conceals a world of complex emotions and inner beauty.

## Early life

Firefly's life unfolded within the reformed changeling hive, where he blossomed into a kind and gentle soul. His innate shyness and curiosity about Equestria led him to venture beyond the hive's boundaries, donning a pony guise to navigate the world of ponies. Along his journey, he sought someone to confide in regarding the complexities of love in the changeling hive, and it was during this quest that he crossed paths with Feather Star.

The two forged an unlikely yet deep friendship, but as the bonds between them deepened, Firefly mustered the courage to reveal his true changeling nature when Feather Star confessed her love. Surprisingly, Feather Star's affection for him endured despite the revelation, though her family initially harbored reservations about their unconventional relationship. Over time, they managed to overcome these challenges and build a life together, culminating in their heartfelt marriage.

## Late life

In the later stages of Firefly's life, he experienced a profound and heartwarming moment when he welcomed his son, Ponyling, into the world—a remarkable blend of pony with changeling wings and transformative abilities. Ponyling's unique attributes made him the center of attention at school, which Firefly found endearing and reminiscent of his own journey as a changeling in a pony world. Yet, he also understood the challenges his son faced and was there to comfort him during moments of sadness, sharing his own experience of feeling different when he first met Feather Star. As the years passed, Firefly continued to cherish the love he and Feather Star had cultivated, growing old alongside her. Firefly's story reached its conclusion at the age of 86, leaving behind a legacy of beauty of embracing one's true self.

## Development

Firefly's journey began with Dalton Lampert in October of 2022, who wanted to craft a non-traditional lover for Feather Star. While his name may have been chosen somewhat randomly, his appearance was brought to life by Sylvain Barre.
