The Candy Coated Court of King Frostybuns

Duchess Flawless Butterlard

Career: Though her name was Flawless, the Duchess always suffered a deep shame in losing her horn at an early age. Horns can be given, of course, but in Pegacorn circles it is not appropriate to do so until a dowry is secured. A particularly naïve and tender thing, she allowed herself to be seduced by the infamous blackguard Giggleglitter. As she came from such a noble line, her family was able to bury the scandal by instigating the horrendous donkey genocides of the First Age. Although that was a glorious thing for her elders to do, every glance in the mirror (which is required at least once an hour) was a reminder of her disgusting, dirty act. Though she dropped out of the society pages, she was a constant “specter at the feast”, most commonly found in corners tsk-ing and muttering.

Recreation: Stoning young couples.

Pudding, the First Marquise Bountiful of Upper Fondant Lake

Career: The first Marquise Bountiful and also the last, as Pudding died soon after having his title bestowed. He was repeatedly warned that Fondant Lake was only for gazing and not for grazing, but who could resist dipping a hoof into such delectable perfection?

Recreation: Mostly haunting the Upper Fondants.

Sir Trufflewafer Gemponikon

Career: Born without a lower half, Trufflewafer knew that his life would lead down a different path than his siblings. He was shunned by most of his family, who were social climbers and realized having a deformed colt would be all it would take to knock them down back to the dirt – never to rise again. They legally disowned him by claiming he had died in his pega-cradle (Which to be fair, nearly did happen as both his parents tried to smother him. Independently. On multiple occasions.) He became a stablehorse, looking after the family’s prize-winning humans. He had such a kinship with them that they were able to forge a sort of dialogue and some even called him the Human Whisperer. But he had dreams beyond the muck and mire and when the circus stopped nearby, he saw his chance to escape and join their Wonders and Curiosities. Unfortunately, it didn’t take too long for the gentry to tire of his freakbody, as they were always craving something more horrific and novel. He tried adding different talents to his show but nothing seemed to excite. He gained a small audience by eating strange things (anything having less than five spoonfuls of sugar per ounce). He only found great success when egged on by the audience to consume a live baby from the petting zoo next to his tent. So famous did he become, that he succeeded where his family never would – and he was knighted by King Frosty Buns.

Recreation: Eating fire, eating glass, eating assorted human babies.

Baronet Sparklefuss Piddledance

Career: Recognized for his great charity work – mainly helming the first Prance Dances – and of course, all the murders. Because Pegacorns live such an awful long time, to be heinously Muder-Death-Killed by Sparklefuss was considered an honor.

Recreation: Gardening, tennis, preaching at the Temple of Artax, bathing in the blood of the semi-innocent. (For what unicorn/pegasus/pegacorn could truly be called innocent?)

The Mad Archduke Lusterbrittle Fancyfeast

Career: All his life, the Archduke sought treasures beneath the sugary crust. Gemstones of finest quality grew above the earth in great bushels, but the Archduke was convinced that gems of even more brilliant clarity could only be found below the surface. But they didn’t call him the Mad Archduke because he was right. The gems below were indeed, greatly inferior, but he did manage to tunnel all the way to hell, where he remains to this day.

Recreation: Polishing stones, geography, gemology, trying to claw his way back to the surface where he will exact his demonic revenge.
