The image is an illustration depicting two characters in a close and intimate pose. Opaline, with light blue hair, wears a garment with intricate patterns in purple and yellow. Misty, with dark skin and blue hair with lighter highlights, styled in thick braids, complements the scene. Misty’s face is partially covered by Opaline’s hand. The dark background, adorned with bright pink roses and green vines, adds a mystical and charming ambiance to the scene.
Opaline could have been one of the best villains in MLP if her relationship with Misty had been explored more deeply. A dynamic of a controlling mother causing trauma in Misty, leading her to act to earn Opaline’s respect and affection, who would occasionally treat her with love to increase her dependence, could have resulted in a heartbreaking manipulation. This complex relationship could have led to impactful and perfectly climatic outcomes.
