"Wingspiral" (or just WingSpiral) is a Story-Driven SFW ask blog created by a tumblr artist going by the name of Violet. Though it was created in December, Violet only began the very first story in March 2016. The blog does feature questions and answering, however, it has a massive story that it conveys to it's audience. The blog follows the lives of Stardust Spiral, Wing Saber, and Rubi-Rose who are best friends. The name "WingSpiral" is created from mixing together Stardust Spiral and Wing Saber's names. While the story can be very slice of life, it also features battles and villains.
The blog is split up into "Arcs" and "Stories" whereas each story and arc features a new theme and chapter within the characters' lives. WingSpiral is very adventurous and features many towns and locations known from the show including completely original places and designs. Taking place in an alternate universe 70 years after Princess Luna's reformation from Nightmare Moon, the technology in this Equestria is extremely advanced.
(Warning: This blog has occasional blood, mild language, death, suggestive themes, drugs, alcohol use, and violence.)
(Stardust is often referred to as "Dust" for a nickname. He is also called "Star" by girlfriend Crystal Catwalk)
Headcanon voice: Rook from Ben 10 Omniverse
Appearance[]
18-year old Dust.
WingSpiral may follow the lives of three best friends, but the #1 main character in the story line is 19-year old Stardust Spiral. He is a blue unicorn with shaggy dark brown hair (and a gray permanently dyed tail), and aqua blue eyes. His physique is very stocky and he is taller (and bigger) that average stallions. Stardust has a very large neck and is often portrayed with a long tail and mane. He often wears a black hoodie with draw strings. Stardust's legs are feathered and his hooves are peach colored.
Short-haired Dust.
[New Hairstyle: Somewhere within "Star Student", Wing Saber suggested for Stardust to get a haircut. Stardust did so and kept a short hair style throughout the month of May 2016 until it grew back once again.]
Personality[]
Stardust Spiral is a very studious and precocious stallion who desires nothing more than to learn any and every spell he possibly can. He is often very respectful and law-abiding- always being sure to show courtesy to those higher ranking than him. Though Stardust is very modest and kind, he can easily be irked or teased by Wing Saber and Dust has been known to rarely lose his temper whenever being pressured. Stardust is extremely hard working and drinks a lot of coffee. He is open to anypony he meets yet always prefers to keep his past from others and change subjects whenever his harsh childhood is mentioned. Dust is very enthusiastic and excitable when it comes to school work and the act of impressing teachers and officials.

Cutie mark[]
Stardust's cutie mark is a whirl with 10 spikes,
(5 brown and 5 peach). Each spike represents a life-changing thing that occurred
or is bound to happen in his life. Two have already occurred while eight
shall happen within the rest of the wingspiral storyline. Stardust's
talent is to learn things much faster than most other ponies. Stardust
experiences and familiarizes with things at an incredibly rapid pace,
already learning 50 spells by the age of 10. He is extremely advanced
and without his talent, he'd be a regular unicorn.
Backstory[]
Though Stardust doesn't reveal much of his past to the readers, it is very dark. As a foal, Dust was always different from every other child. Because he learns things faster than others, he would use large words and behave much more maturely which caused much isolation. At age 4, he was often picked on for being far smarter than he should be.
Newborn Stardust within his mother's hooves.
When Dust was age 5, his mother (Starbeam Swirl) became terminally ill. She would cough constantly, vomit, and became weaker until she could no longer walk and needed life support. Stardust was told he had to say goodbye to his mother. No pony knew what kind of sickness she had extracted and so there was nothing the doctors could do. Dust stood aside his mother's death bed in sorrow. His emotions were so bundled up in side, he exploded in massive magical energy and received his cutie mark. Starbeam used her last strength to calm her son down. With her last dying breath, she tells him "be happy, Stardust."
After his mothers death, Stardust's aunt (Moonlight Taverns) reassured Stardust that he can bring back his mother. She told him that due to his
talent, he can learn as many spells as possible and get stronger. Once
powerful enough, he can find the legendary life spell and return to
Moonlight. He can then transfer all his powerful magic to a gem around
Moonlight's neck and use it to revive his mother once again. Stardust, being young and desperate, agreed immediately- keeping in mind that Moonlight told him he can never make friends and get distracted. He must go it alone and focus solely on his studies. Stardust ignored her wishes, however, as he befriends wing saber many years later.
Right after Starbeam's passing, Stardust began living with his cousin (Lovestruck Spiral). She took care of Stardust and raised him herself, loving him the best he can. Although she was young, she made sure to care for Stardust as if her own son or little brother.

Wing Saber[]
(Wing Saber is often referred to as "Sabe" for a nickname)
Headcanon voice: Eren from Attack on Titan (English Dub)
Appearance[]
Wing Saber holding a pouch of "fume".
Wing Saber is a 19-year old light gray Pegasus with red and white hair,
and bright red eyes. He is about average in height and has a thin build.
He always wears a dark gray scarf and only removes it whenever he is
agonized, not feeling like himself, or is distressed beyond measure.
Saber has thick dark red eyebrows and his irises are normally portrayed as slits rather than perfectly round circles.
Personality[]
Wing Saber flying to the train station to visit his sister, Scarlet.
Wing
Saber is a very out going, frivolous stallion. He often says whatever is on his mind and doesn't think of the consequences. Saber is a premiere
prankster and loves to annoy stardust in any way he can. Though he can
be very rebellious at times, he is often extremely childish and loves to
play with things that are not considered toys. He loves to rough play
and eat anything he can. Wing
Saber loves plushies, socks, and donuts. He also enjoys short solitary
midnight flies every now and then to reflect on life. Saber is the
opposite of dust as he dislikes work and prefers to relax and chill all
day.
Wing Saber is also very attached to stardust
and can never stay apart from him for long or else he may start to lose
his sanity. While Saber may seem independent and fully capable of handling himself, he would never be able to live without Dust, and would literally break or panic if he were ever separated from him for too long. He has been known to behave as if he loves no one and only
cares for himself, when in actuality he would die for stardust and loves him deeply. Wing Saber soon grows this strong feeling of loyalty towards Rubi-Rose as well.
[A comical term for Wing Saber spending too much time away from Stardust is "Dust depraved". It happens rarely, however, as the two are constantly together.]
Cutie Mark[]
Wing saber's cutie mark is a light red
four-feathered wing with a light yellow ring around the base. It
represents how content wing saber is with simple things. He often finds
refuge with flying and relaxing.
Sabe explaining his cutie mark.
Backstory[]
Wing Saber was born
to a hard working mother (Amber Lane) and an older sister (Scarlet Penny). His mother is very
monotonous and calm. She was hardly ever home and worked day and night
to take care of Saber and his sister Scarlet when they were young. Wing Saber's father is
unknown and unrevealed within the story line. He abandoned Saber's mother because he could not handle a second child. Saber
would often play fight and insult his sister. He also always felt his
mom hated him due to her hardly ever speaking and giving him "looks of
disappointment".
While Wing Saber's home was mostly very stable,
he still would get into tremendous amounts of trouble at school. In
fact, his tendency to instigate and his felonious behavior nearly landed him a solid place in juvenile detention. Once Stardust befriended him, he turned his
life around and completely changed for the better. While Saber used to
do many horrible things, he is now more of a passive Pegasus who likes to hang out and have fun.

Rubi-Rose[]
(Called "Ru" and "Rubi" by her friends)
Rubi talking to Stardust for the first time on the train ride to Ponyville.
Headcanon voice: unknown
Appearance[]
Rubi is a 21-year old earth pony
who is average in height and weight. She has hot pink and dark brown striped hair, a light pinkish-peach coat, and bright violet eyes. Rubi has a light gray headband that she always wears to keep her hair back. She also always has wraps on her front left leg due to a leg injury caused on stage. Her full name is "Rubi Fuchsia magellanica Rose".
Personality[]
Winking at Stardust.
Rubi is a generally happy
mare who is friendly to many and tries to stay positive and optimistic.
She is very kind and sympathetic- while still able to catch an
attitude if irked. Rubi is full of life and fun loving. She is an extremely determination-driven pony who will fight to have something done. Unlike most
mares, she doesn't desire attention and just loves to be her young zesty
self. She would never desire to change herself for others and is a huge
tomboy/girly girl mix. Rubi is very proud of who she is and feels she
is an independent being who makes her own decisions.
Rubi-Rose has a
huge crush on wing saber, and although she's usually a very honest and
open mare, she is much too hesitant to tell him and actually prefers
to spend time with saber. She's very grateful to have him as a friend
and would never risk their strong, valuable friendship over her romantic
feelings.
Cutie Mark[]
Rubi's cutie mark is a hot pink round gem within a light pink three-leafed flower. The gem symbolizes her love for music and performing and the flower shows how open she feels with that. Together, they both show that she can openly sing about whatever she feels without having to be something she isn't. Rubi feels content and happy on stage; also feeling this way with her friends.
Backstory[]
Rubi-Rose was born to the wealthy couple, "Emerald Storm" and "Saffire Lily". She was a rather spoiled child
and and still gets pampered by them. Rubi's parents always babied her a little too
much, however, so Rubi chose to pursue her dream of becoming a singer. Rubi
started to sing while still living in her parents' home.
Rubi
once had a earth pony boyfriend named arpeggio "El Suave" of Neighican decent.. Though he loved
her, his dangerous stunt suggestion caused Rubi to be hospitalized for
months and to break up with him over her unfortunate leg injury. Rubi
then wrote the song "keep moving on/big imagination" in honor of how she
feels about him. In the song, she is basically telling arpeggio that
she has her own mind and can act on her own conscious. She doesn't need a
pony to give her anymore attention than she already has and she
certainly is content with moving on and never getting back with arpeggio
again.
Soon, Rubi chooses to leave her parents' house and
continue her life with her own home in ponyville. Rubi finally wishes to break the
reins ponies have on her and to have her own adventures. She wants to
care for herself for once and not have another pony trying to make
decisions for her. In the move to Ponyville, she meets stardust spiral and wing saber who
became her best friends. Rubi-Rose is still continuously performing and singing.
The Project was the first story of WingSpiral. This story first introduced wing saber and stardust spiral to the audience. The premise of the story was about stardust and wing saber getting prepared to present a project within the school.
Presenting before Celestia.
The project was supposed to
be a huge explosion of neon colors. Stardust decided chemicals and
science was the way to go. Wing saber had his own views on how to make
the project happen. He created "spiked cherry bomb truffles" and sticker decals of their cutie marks. This distressed stardust as he demanded wing saber stopped goofing off. While the process of creating
the project was jittery, and the two had separate views of "a perfect A+ project"- it turned out wing saber's overly destructive nature was
better than stardust's over planning.
Stardust's overly-calculated mindset didn't help the project, and he had to ask wing saber to help. In the end, Princess Celestia was left impressed and the two boys go out to dinner in the school mess hall.
Star Student was wingspiral's second story. While
it is considered a story, it was cut drastically short due to the mod having much on her plate during that month. It can also be considered a "dwarf story".
This story was intended to reveal stardust's
struggles with having so many responsibilities at such a young age. It
is this story that confirms there is a stardust spiral fan club within the school. While wing saber thought it was cool, stardust on the other hoof disliked the unwanted attention.
Stardust feels these other students don't fully
understand him or know him for who he is. His popularity is rather
reputation and appearance based.
Wing saber visits his older sister, Scarlet Penny for a day.
[Scarlet
penny is a 25 year old journalist currently residing off the west coast
in tall tale. She is a very fun loving sister who can also be serious
and professional when she needs to be. Scarlet's the only pony that can
control wing saber besides stardust.]
Scarlet holding Wing Saber in a lock.
Stardust was beginning to
notice wing saber missing his sister and had generously purchased the
train ticket for saber to go on the train to tall-tale and see her. Wing saber arrives and him and scarlet reminisce about their childhood years. They also bake a family cake recipe called "mintsomint" that their
mother used to make for them.
While penny was distracted, wing
saber playfully pounces on her. scarlet usually would have been ok with
it but they are much older now and wing saber might actually injure her. Scarlet then declares that her and wing saber never rough play or wrestle again. This distresses Wing Saber as he calls Stardust and tells him he messed up. Stardust suggests that there are other ways for Saber to have fun and spend time with Penny.
Wing Saber is then motivated and requests that
him and penny have a midnight fly. They laugh and bond within the sky, flying above the clouds. Returning back to the train station, the two hug goodbye and wing saber is off. When wing saber returns back home,
Stardust and Wing Saber are graduating the Canterlot school very soon. And they have one more final paper to finish. When Stardust's self-centered super model girlfriend, Crystal Catwalk, continuously hangs out with him more and more, Wing Saber begins to feel he is being replaced. Wing Saber overhears Stardust calling Crystal "the best", and breaks. Fearing the loss of his friend, he writes the final paper all on his own to impress Stardust in an attempt to get him back.
The two share a very emotional talk and Stardust breaks up with Crystal, leaving her to find herself and reflect through her own eyes. Crystal and her assistant, Zhong, (who she was previously rather mean to) now start a new friendship.
Dust and Sabe move to Ponyville after graduating. There, they meet an earth pony singer named Rubi-Rose. She is trying to prove to her parents that she can handle herself in the outside world without their help. Stardust tells her perhaps she shouldn't focus on impressing others and instead keep an open mind to the possibilities. Rubi's parents Emerald Storm and Saffire Lily are very mistrusting of small town ponies and tell her to be very careful with them.
Rubi, however grows closer to Dust and Sabe and attempts to figure out why they have been arguing so much lately. Rubi finally discovers that they are all stressed and afraid from moving to a new town. They have been taking their frustration out on each other. Rubi declares they should all work together to adjust instead and that she desires to live with them- much to her parents' dismay. Rubi stands up for her friends, however, and her parents allow her to stay friends with Sabe and Dust and to continue living in Ponyville with them.

Devices/items etc.[]
Wing Saber holding his plush and missing Scarlet.
Sabe's llama plushie is based off his
sister; scarlet penny's; appearance. It is a rather large plush and saber supposedly sleeps next to it in bed everyday. He also carries it around
a lot.
Stardust under the influence of "Fume"
Fume is a powdered substance that can only be obtained from an equestrian black market. It is a magic releasing substance that
causes a unicorn's horn to release it's magic spontaneously and
randomly. 5 seconds of exposure to fume will effect the unicorn. It then
causes the unicorn to release his/her magic uncontrollably. Fume has also been known to be used as a drug or a sort of "magic high" by some unicorns.
Spiked cherry bomb truffles is a recipe wing saber picked up from a cucumber goulash party
within the school. It is a very bouncy and colorful appetizer that is actually rather dangerous to the digestive system. It causes much
discomfort to a pony's body and insides. If more than one is eaten per
hour, the truffles may begin to cause some problems.
Wing Saber and Stardust Spiral using the cloud-a-pult.
The cloud-a-pult is a device created by stardust for wing saber to occupy himself. Stardust is generally bothered by the contraption since wing saber constantly wants to play with it. Though it may be distracting, stardust
can never find the heart to disassemble the cloud-a-pult since it means so much to wing saber.
Stardust's perfect attendance book is a large journal stardust's cousin lovestruck created. It's a book that documents stardust's everyday perfect attendance in
grade school. It is complete with objects attached inside and
memorabilia. She allows stardust to keep it so he can always be reminded
what a diligent student he is.
