## Early life

Tender Slash's early life was filled with the unique and delightful memory of being brought into the world by his father, who had temporarily transformed into a mare, a fact that always brought a chuckle to his face. As he grew, Tender Slash became a source of pride for his father, carrying on his legacy in a younger form, and enjoyed countless moments of joy with his two sisters. His studies led him to become an archivist in Canterlot.

However, as he reached adulthood, Tender Slash found himself wrestling with doubts when it came to love. It was during this period that he crossed paths with the gentle and intelligent mare named Magnifico, who happened to be the daughter of Prince Blueblood. What drew him to her was her aspiration to transcend the traditions of noble life. While his family celebrated the union, Caring Slash couldn't help but feel a sense of unease, because of Blueblood's notorious reputation as a rude prince. Yet, a conversation with Blueblood revealed a change of heart in the prince, and Caring Slash recognized the loving and suitable partner for his son in Magnifico, which brought peace and happiness to their family.

Despite the passage of time, he remained a caring and devoted uncle to his two nephews, Ponyling and Star Slash, providing support and guidance as they ventured through life.

Tender Slash and Magnifico grew old together, cherishing the enduring bond that had united them. Their love story was a testament to the strength of their connection and the happiness they had found in each other's origin. Tender Slash eventually passed away at the age of 88, leaving behind a legacy of love and family.
