## Biographical information

### Date of birth

December 12th, eight years after the Prime War

## Physical Description

Glow is short and chubby like Glimmer, and has cool-toned brown skin. He has two-toned hair with sparkles on the lower half like Glimmer’s, but the top half of his hair is black like Micah’s, while the lower half is dark purple like Bow’s. He has lilac eyes like Angella, Glimmer’s nose, and Bow’s eyebrows. He has sparkly, translucent wings like Angella, though his are smaller, and more fairy-like than angelic.

Glow normally wears a long-sleeved lavender shirt, a gold belt, black pants, and purple and blue shoes with heart decals. He carries Micah’s staff around constantly.

## History

### Before the Rising

Glow was born eight years after the Horde Prime War. Adora was accidentally responsible for giving him his name. While Glimmer was pregnant with him, Bow made the comment that the baby would be a mixture of himself and Glimmer, so Adora started calling him "Baby Glow," a mix between "Bow" and "Glimmer." The name ended up sticking fast, and when the baby was born, he was officially named Prince Glow of Brightmoon, much to Adora's horror and joy. The naming of Glow became an inside joke of the Best Friends Squad.

### The Rising of the Remembrance

Glow was eight years old when the Rising took place. Finn had invited Glow, Siren, Flora, Zephyr, and Etta to meet a woman named Lina deep in the Whispering Woods, who claimed that she could help strengthen his, Flora's, and Siren's Runestone powers to help She-Ra. All six children were kidnaped by her and her men, and taken to Mount Candila.

Along with Flora and Siren, Glow was strapped into one of the Remembrance's strange machines, with diodes on his temples, and straps around his wrists and ankles. When the machines turned on, a blinding pain shot through Glow's body, rendering him unconscious almost instantly. What he didn't know was that the machine was tearing through his brain, and ripping the mental connection he had with the Moonstone away. The same was being done to Flora and Siren.

Afterwards, with Glow, Flora, and Siren unconscious, Double Trouble and Rina broke into the Fire Castle disguised as guards, rescuing the six kids and bringing them back to Brightmoon, where their parents were negotiating with Lina and her army.

Once the adults saw their kids alive (some unconscious, but alive,) they were finally able to fight back, forcing the Remembrance to retreat back to Mount Candila. This event was called the Rising of the Remembrance, or just the Rising for short.

### The Aftermath

It took Glow many weeks to recuperate from the Rising. The strange machine had left him with small scars on his temples, wrists, and ankles. But most worrisome, a lack of connection to the Moonstone. Both Siren and Flora were able to reconnect to their respective Runestones, at varying levels, but Glow's brain simply refused to take the Moonstone back.

This upset him very much, as without a connection to the Moonstone, he had no magic, and no right to the throne of Brightmoon. Bow understood how upsetting this was to Glow, and so he started teaching him in the ways of tech, and began taking him to Dryl to spend time with Entrapta, Hordak, and Etta. Micah too, understood, and started schooling Glow in sorcery, with Glimmer giving him her staff.

## Personality

Glow tries to be the “reasonable” friend, but can’t ignore the call to adventure any more than Glimmer could at his age. He sometimes feels worthless and inadequate compared to his younger siblings, as they have powerful connections to the Moonstone, while he has no Runestone connection. He can be reckless at times (though he tries to hide it) and despises long periods of standing still, (despite his insisting he doesn't.) He also has some mild anger issues like Glimmer, which causes the mother/son duo to butt heads from time to time.

## Relationships

**Bow and Glimmer:** Glow is much closer to Bow than Glimmer, since they both don't have any powers. They spend a lot of time together, mostly in Dryl, helping Entrapta and Hordak with techy things. Glow usually only confides in Bow about his frustrations and anger, and not Glimmer, which strains their relationship even more. Glimmer tries as hard as she can to connect with her son, but almost all attempts lead to fights, just because the two are **so** similar (and are **so** not good at emotional connections.) Bow always tries to be the voice of reason between the two when they fight.

**Angel:** Angel was born when Glow was three years old. Glow was very excited to have a friend to play with when Glimmer told him that she was pregnant, but when Angel was born and "couldn't even do anything," Glow lost interest. He gained interest again when Angel turned six and started showing an affinity for tech. The two brothers grew close around doing tech stuff together, especially after Stella became a child prodigy with her powers. Despite this, Angel still makes fun of Glow for being short. As siblings do.

**Stella:** Stella was born when Glow was five years old. After already going through Glimmer's pregnancy with Angel, Glow was much less excited to be a big brother again. Despite this, Glow still loved Stella the moment that she was born. After the Rising, however, their relationship took a turn for the worse. Stella became a magic prodigy, and one of the most powerful Moonstone wielders since Queen Angella. For Glow, who had lost his powers, this was a low blow. He began losing his temper with his baby sister constantly, and his jealously only grew as they did, to the point where they no longer hang out.

**Finn:** When Adora and Catra brought Finn home, Glow was five years old. Glimmer was very pregnant with Stella at the time, and Angel was just two, so Glow had a lot of spare time on his hands. He snuck into Finn's guest room to meet them, and was surprised when the magikitten seemed utterly entranced by the sparkles in his hair. The two became instant friends, and a week later, Finn was formally adopted by Adora and Catra, much to Glow's delight. As teenagers, they both like to cause mischief and tomfoolery around Brightmoon, much to the chagrin of the palace guards, but also feel like they can talk and confide in each other.

**Flora:** Glow and Flora often joke that they were "womb adjacent twins," as Scorpia and Glimmer were pregnant with them at the same time. As young children, they were always around each other, either through playdates or political events. Glow found Flora's shyness somewhat off-putting up until the Rising, then found her to be a nice, calming presence. As teenagers, he, Flora, and Siren all share a special bond among their friends, as they were the ones who were most affected by the Remembrance. Their other friends develop techniques with Flora to help them out of panic attacks and keep her calm.

**Siren:** Like Flora, Siren and Glow had been friends since they were babies. Glow and Siren were always up to no good, leaving Flora to try and keep things afloat by themself. After the Rising, Glow hardly ever saw Siren, as Mermista and Seahawk had become increasingly overprotective of her. As teenagers, he, Flora, and Siren all shared a special bond among their friends, as they were the ones who were most affected by the Remembrance. Glow hates that Siren is dating his least favorite cousin, Renegade, as he knows that Renegade is trouble. Glow and Siren, with the added bonus of Finn, still like to cause shenanigans wherever they go.

**Etta:** Since Etta hardly ever left Dryl until the Rising, Glow didn't meet her until a few months before then. He didn't find her weird like so many other people did, which Etta appreciated. After the Rising and the loss of Glow's powers, Bow started taking Glow (and sometimes Finn) to Dryl to help Entrapta and Hordak. The two became very close on these trips, to the point where Glow considers Etta to be his honorary younger sister. He sympathizes with Etta's mental illness struggles, as well as her worries about being weird and not belonging.

**Zephyr:** As children, Glow found Zephyr's bossiness incredibly annoying, and the two would bicker constantly. It got to the point where one would pretend to be sick to avoid the other's company. Then, after the Rising, Zephyr became a great source of comfort for Glow, and they got closer and closer. By the time they were teenagers, they both had crushes on each other, though neither knew that the other did. They still do bicker some, mainly battling over who gets to be the "leader" of the new Best Friends Squad.
