Story

Blueflare, Having spent just about as much time as she could stand, following around guides and peers on this tour of Ponyville, listening to them ramble on and on about its history, and Princess Twilightsparkle this and that... When she could be studying her magic...
Blue quietly disengaged herself from the group, no one said they 'must' stay together after all, but she also disliked asking for permission.
They had passed the library not long ago, Blue backtracked and found it again easily. Blueflare walked through the doors into an old, but clean building. The original library "The Golden Oak" having been destroyed by Lord Tirek, many years before her birth. Blue quickly got busy, hunting down the tomes she thought looked most interesting.

Much time had passed before Blueflare decided it was time to gather her selections and head back to the room she was staying in while she was visiting Ponyvile.

With her thoughts elsewhere, most likely on some spell she had read about in the very books suspended in air by her magic, Blueflare did not notice the shy yellow pegasus, whose thoughts also seemed to be elsewhere, headed straight for her.
With a crash, Blueflare was knocked back onto her rump, the books that she held in her magic suddenly came crashing down over her head!

"Ooff - Ouch! ... Hey!"

"ooh, dear! I am so, so very sorry! please, let me help you.."

Info
First of all, I know I haven't used this account in AGES, I'm sorry, I will still be finishing the art owed, but life took a bit of a busy turn this summer. (Not bad things so no worries)

Second, I haven't yet decided how I will present Blueflares story, or what order it will be in. For now I'll be doing single pictures.
Shortly after Blueflare gained her cutiemark, as is tradition of her mother's family, she was sent to further her magical education and abilities in Canterlot. Blueflare is quite young here, but already very independent. In her reference I mention that she is of a similar age to Scootaloo and friends, however I am now seeing her as even younger yet. In this AU/image, Scootaloo and CO, are older, much of the events from the tv series have happened, or are about to happen, As mentioned Lord Tirek has already destroyed the original library some time ago. It's hard to "age" ponies in years, So the actual timeline will be hammered out over time through references to canon events. :)

Lastly, Fluttershy is the first of the mane 6 that BF meets, and they form a very close friendship later on.
