Well, might as well share it since I have this "blog" website, right?

Hello everypony! My name is Vinyl Melody... well, it is my current name. My old legal Equestrian name was Bubbly Beaker (Great name, I know).

Why the change? Well, I wasn't a normal "cow-pony" per se. I was actually a unicorn! Really loved chemistry back then. Managed to even accidentally change my hair from yellow to green, thankfully it was temporary!

However, because of an oh-so-normal "The institutes that I'm an employee of had a breach, mass panic ensued, accidentally tripped on piles of paper and almost broke my muzzle on my desk and shatter an unfinished potion beaker" (Which, to this day, I do not know why it's even there, that project was supposed to be on hold). Guess who woke up with a missing horn and an udder? This mare!

I was devastatingly sad the following days, my magic's really weak, I get more tired easily. I got laid off, but because it's an incident caused by institute negligence, I got a pretty hefty compensation for it. That's how I even managed to save up and move to Earth! That's a fun fact.

Still, the first few weeks was just hell on Equus.

Worse part? My cutie mark, the symbol of what defines me, a reminder of the first time I won a science contest in my school fair.

Gone. Permanently.

But, at some point. Something just... you know, clicked? If you can call it that. I just stopped caring that I'm not "me" anymore. And If I'm a cow-pony now, then by the name of Celestia, that's what I am! This is not the end of my story, it's just another chapter! Life spat in my face but I'm just going to wipe it off and move on with it.

Even with my changes, I was able to find another job at a farm, I could have technically moved there and pay no rent, but I still liked my apartment at Canterlot. Oh, and yes, if you're wondering. We do produce milk, even if we're heifers. Earth cows and Equus cows function the same, but both are different from Cow-Ponies.

And no, it's not a sexual thing, why do you humans keep thinking it is?! Gah!

Anyways, I also got my National ID changed, and changed my name the same day. The change was... a difficult decision. In my heart, I'm still Bubbly Beaker, but I also have to accept that I'm not the same pony I was before. Eventually, I settled on "Vinyl Melody" (It was supposed to be a pun from the musicians' names at Equus, sad that not all human got the references :[), and I breathed a sigh of relief as I started a new life.

And another note to clear the misconception, we ponies do not generally care about our names, we even often change it! Though it's usually done once, often when we get our Cutie Marks.

Yep! That's my story. Some years after that I moved on to Earth because of the really awesome things I have heard from the reviews! If you missed that blog post where I talked about my first days, you can find it here!

Hopefully that was an interesting read, and see you on the next post! Have a beautiful day. ^_^ /)
