of course I couldn't leave Spike out of my updated MLP next gen stuff, so here he is with an OC of mine named Emerald.

She's directly inspired by this popular tweet where Lauren Faust's daughter drew a dragon character named Emziko who's Spike's girlfriend (https://64.media.tumblr.com/87a249e8b1f7a14e5b22723c86b21325/ebf63d15b129b542-ec/s640x960/15ca539fb9aa38879139fda79d3a2cc479337daf.pnj)

I know a some Bronies tend to just use/draw their own versions of "Emziko" directly but I felt like naming my Spike gf something more consistent with the dragon naming patterns in the show, so that's why her name is Emerald in my AU.
