Artist’s Description:

”…may break my bones, but my dad’s hugs will surely crush me!”

Iron Will and Fluttershy absolutely adore their little Centaur freakazoid. Fluttershy teaches her about wildlife and being kind, while Will on the other hand teaches her wrestling, boxing, and how to play the guitar! All essential skills, really. 

Nessa is actually very strong and hardy. She’s built like a work horse and is much taller than the other ponies. She’s just a hair taller than Big Mac. With this being the case, Iron Will often rough houses with his daughter; be it arm wrestling, MMA, or she grabs him by the horns and just completely takes him on. This being said, Fluttershy worries extensively. She constantly throws out warnings of “be careful” or “not so rough” and often times has to break the two apart before they actually get hurt. (Both of them forget how strong they can be when playing.) Though living with the two is basically a full time job on its own, she wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Growing up with this rough play style, Nessa grows into quite a strong woman. She’s a big athletic buff and loves to lift weights. She also likes to help down in Applejack’s orchard, competing with Big Mac in different rigorous exercises, such as who can haul the heavier cart, or who can buck the most apples without any breaks.
