Vendetta is the unfortunate child of Moondancer and Starlight Glimmer. She's born and raised in their hideaway Apploosa home just far enough to see the town she could never reach since her mothers always had an invisible forcefield up to keep intruders away. Being wanted criminals, it was obvious Starlight and Moon couldn't let their child go to school or even in public, at least not without a disguise. Even if they couldn't go out, this didn't stop other fillies from sneaking around trying to get in. Obviously grade school rumors were going around about their house, so Vendetta would often have to endure kids throwing rocks at their "abandoned witch hut" and screaming in glee whenever they saw her face in the window before turning tail and running away. Fillies just like her that she would never meet and never know... It left her very confused and yearning to interact. She was always tired and depressed, irresponsive and sometimes outright disobedient. This was not lost on her mothers, who then got her the lovely teddy Spuddles to try and satiate the desire for other ponies.

However, this would backfire. Vendetta's behavior got worse, impossible even. She claimed it was Spuddles making her do it, leading the moms to believe it was just some sort of phase, but as she asked for more dolls, she became more disturbed. She would claim they were bullying her and trying to make her do things she didn't want, even though she was clearly using her magic to manipulate them. She hinted at them telling her to hurt her parents and would stay up at late times int he night preparing things for them because she was scared they would hurt her. Even though their daughter's mental state was slipping (and despite all of Moondancer's warnings and pleas) Starlight refused to find a therapist because 1) What if they found her out as y'know, a super cult leader? 2) No child of hers was mentally ill, simple as that. It was just an overactive imagination, just a phase, just kids being kids, blah blah blah... maybe having another kid would help her cope and learn what was normal.

But with a second kid, a beautiful baby boy it only made Starlight realize how much she hated and feared her own daughter. She was so unpredictable, so disobedient...she couldn't control her, couldn't figure out what she would do. The child was getting more bold, more retaliating to their help. Trying to use magic, or a magic blocking ring for her horn, or throwing the dolls away...which would prove to be the worst decision of her life, because Vendetta did the unthinkable. This lead to Starlight finally snapping and declaring that this was NOT her daughter. In fact, it wasn't even a pony. She was going to punish her to hell and back, Our Town way and worse. Moondancer tried to argue, but Starlight said her sweet manipulative words, like "the ends justifies the means", "she's hardly like us anyway", "we can use her for spells since she doesn't legally exist, we won't get in trouble." It took months, but eventually, Moondancer gave in. They both resigned to treating their daughter like garbage, as nothing more than a guinea pig like the others before her.

The dehumanization and pain that her mothers put her through was unbearable. It's what shattered her psyche and left her truly incapable of connecting to anyone on any level, and bred an insurmountable amount of distrust and loss of the ability to mature normally, especially since she was going through puberty when this all happened. By the time she was powerful enough to break free, she lost everything and everyone, even her cutie mark.

This would lead to a massive fight and Vendetta running away at last around 18, out into a world she didn't know. After a couple years of mugging, swinging, mental breakdowns, alley fights, and living in doghouses, she would end up onto the trodden path to a mafia hideout. Wonderworks was quite horrified by the mare, to be frank, what with her untimely dissociations from reality and hard to understand emotional state, but he vowed to help her get back on her hooves to live a normal life if she vowed to join in his cause. But she said she didn't know what a normal life was, only how to make life worse for others and that frankly, she enjoyed it. To this, he smirked and declared, "I have the perfect job for you."

She's a professional torturer, loves getting information out of people and outdrinking all the big bad stalions around the mafia hideout. If she shows up in the middle of the night on your doorstep, just know you've crossed the most dangerous horse in Equestria. To keep people from taking advantage of her questionable mental state, Wonderworks gave her a Changeling assistant (who we'll see later) who does a great job of keeping her focused and on her toes. He's a sassy yesman and keeps her from unnecessarily being violent towards others, and more importantly, herself.
