Deceptive name, but part of a story. You see I used to watch the early My little ponies, the exact generation eludes me, 2nd or 3rd I think. Then Lauren had her hands on the 4th generation, and I was dragged back into the herd, giggling all the way. Like a lot of fans I created my own pony, to be honest my own group of ponies. And here we have the meeting of one Hildr Ironheart and the ever adorable Fluttershy. I am working on some more of this story to include Hildr's travels through Equestria, her little home village of Marfjordr ("mare's fjord" if I did the rough translation correctly), as well as her stop in Ponyville. She worked on a sailing ship that brought quality goods from her tiny island home to the mainland of Equestria.

Almost forgot: Fluttershy and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic are Copyright to Hasbro
Hildr Ironheart is Copyright to myself although I don't care if you make fan art of your own, or if you repost my work as long as you don't take credit for it, and feel free to leave comments on the piece.

In particular I am curious if I should bring this character to the tumblr pony groups. Normally I wouldn't because of the slowness of my artwork, but a few people close to me have said I should do otherwise.
