My name is Scarlett Clock. I'm seventeen years old. I'm a unicorn with a crimson coat with a blood red mane and tail, and emerald like eyes. I live in Ponyville. I'm also a crystal pony. Anypony in Equestria with a small knowledge of the Crystal Empire knows that a crystal unicorn isn't natural. My mother is a red crystal pony with a bubblegum pink mane that is tied into a very loose ponytail. She is a wonderful piano player. Her name is Ruby Red. My father is a Canterlot unicorn with a grey coat and light cyan mane. He wears a purple beret, and his cutiemark is a paintbrush. His name is Color Burst. I also have a twin brother, Misael, who is a grey pegasus with a blond mane and dark blue eyes. I've only known them for about three months before they disapeared through a mysterious portal thanks to Sombra.

You see, I was born before Sombra took over the Crystal Empire. But when he struck, at the exact same time, a portal appeared above my home, taking my parents and brother in all the chaos. Our current ruler, Emerald Shine, was fighting off the evil force, but knew the she could not win, so before she perished, she encased the Crystal Empire in crystal, stopping everything from aging, and then the Crystal Empire disapeared.

Somehow I ended up in the Everfree Forest after the Crystal Empire returned. Fluttershy found me and would have taken care of me if she didn't have a zoo in her house and newborn triplets. So she decided to give me to one of her unicorn friends. She decided to give me to Twilight, since Rarity already had a naughty three year old.

So, I was raised by Twilight, got a job at Dr. Whooves clock shop, but ultimetily, I wondered, what was that portal? And were, did it lead?

-Sorry the chapter is so short, but it's my first fanfic, and this is just backstory, so don't kill me, alrighty?
