bio:

heartthrob grew up feeling incredibly isolated from the rest of society. he lived in two giant castles (often visiting/staying at the canterlot palace) at any given time surrounded mainly by his family and other ponies who all were either more important than him or had big, beautiful wings - or most painfully, both. as the years went by and he saw his sisters getting extra attention due to them either learning how to fly with his mother, or for being the literal alicorn heir to the crystal kingdom throne, he grew more and more jaded due to his own lack of wings. an especially hurtful example of this was the little girl he met once while visiting canterlot when he was young - she was a gorgeous pure white color with stunningly elegant wings. he couldn't help but notice her cloven hooves and when she explained that her parents were both unicorns, his heart panged hard in his chest. it wasn't fair, and it never would be. despite his jealousy, the two became fast friends due to her soft and welcoming demeanor and most days he was able to tune out the constant jealousy. it's gotten harder and harder for him to ignore it nowadays, but for the sake of his now girlfriend, darling, he tries to keep his dark thoughts at bay. generally those around him tend to get a bad vibe from him and the only ones able to stand his presence are darlings friend group. he doesn't feel too welcome around them, either, but at least darling's always there to keep any negative comments on the down low.
