Notes on the design/character:

-Dusk Star was always Dusk Star, but he had NO PERSONALITY. He was a Gary Stu alicorn and didn’t evolve into the well-read diplomat he is today until much later.

-He was initially engaged to Majesty, Radiant Jewel’s first incarnation. The ship was still a thing, albeit on the backburner, even after Radiant Jewel came to be. I just had nobody El for him, that is until I got the idea to ship him with Firework~

-I honestly have no idea what his old cutie mark was supposed to mean.

-He was originally designed to be a father-ambiguous child of Twilight, which is why he looks almost nothing like Flash. All of his colors came from Twilight’s side of the family.
