Commission sketch concept done by *Valkyrie-Girl. I thank her tremendously for this fantastic picture of Queen Chrysalis and her OC daughter, Princess Pupa, featured in my My Little Pony, story, Maternal Instinct: www.fimfiction.net/story/66500… In this story, the Changeling Kingdom and its culture are based off Imperial and partly Feudal Japan, hence why they are dressed in kimonos. If you want another story featuring Japanese Changelings, check out my other story Citizen Weevil: www.fimfiction.net/story/14225… The concept and history are elaborated on below, enjoy:

For nearly three hundred years, the Scaragowa Shogunate ruled over the Changeling homeland for the figurehead monarch. The Shogunate met its climatic end soon after the arrival of Princess Celestia's airships and the forcible opening of the Changeling Kingdom to Western trade following centuries of the Shogunate's isolationist policy of Sakoku which cut the kingdom off from its neighbors for centuries.

After a subsequent bloody civil war between the Shogunate and the Royal Court, the defeated Shogunate was officially ended and the Roachanov Restoration followed, in which the monarch was restored absolute power, as well as the status of a living Kami. The current dynasty, the House of Roachanov, has ruled the Changeling Kingdom undisputedly and with an iron hoof for four hundred years and still going strong.

The reigning monarch is Queen Chrysalis Roachanov IV, noted for her far-right nationalistic policies (her imperialist and expansionist foreign policies in particular) and well known for her very nearly successful conquest attempt of the city of Canterlot.

The Crown Princess and Chrysalis' heir apparent is her daughter, Pupa Roachanov. Few official photographs had been publicly released of the Crown Princess of the Changeling Kingdom, the ones that were mostly being from annual family photographs and the exceptionally rare public appearance, leaving her a figure of mystery to the world outside the palace walls. She is said to be both severely mentally and physically disabled, and end result of the royal family's notorious reputation of intermarriage. Whilst the Queen has thankfully avoided most of the family's passed down ailments, the Princess is believed to be so impaired that she, at the age of seven, still can neither walk or talk, is treated as virtually an infant and carried around as one by her carers.

May the reign and glory of the Roachanov dynasty shine for a thousand years and beyond.
