However, beneath the confident exterior of Rocketgirl, Stardust struggled with her alter ego. As Stardust, she grappled with social anxiety, often feeling overwhelmed in social situations. Despite her parents finding her quirks endearing, Stardust found solace in her passion for astronomy. Writing became her preferred mode of communication, allowing her to express herself more clearly than in face-to-face interactions. Her parents note that they find it "adorable." Stardust's difficulty with socializing stems from her introverted nature and a natural preference for solitary activities. While she is kind-hearted and well-meaning, social interactions drain her energy, making it challenging for her to engage in large gatherings or initiate conversations with new people. Small talk and navigating social cues can be overwhelming for her, leading to moments of social anxiety. As a result, she often finds solace in the company of close friends or in the comfort of her own space, where she can recharge and be herself without the pressure of social expectations.
"People can do it. As long as they open their eyes and look around, they'll see it. They'll see the truth! If there is a fog, they just have to embrace the truth to get rid of it! This is what's right, and this is the path I choose to follow!" —Rocketgirl quoting a video game to Vellchora
Background
Rocketgirl, originally named Stardust, was born and raised in the fictional city of Neo-Manehatten, a sprawling urban city on an island on Equestria's eastern coast. From a young age, Stardust displayed an insatiable curiosity about the world beyond the clouds. Her parents, both skilled astronomers, recognized her exceptional talent and encouraged her to explore her interests. They introduced her to the wonders of the night sky, sparking her fascination with stars, planets, and the mysteries of the universe.
From a young age, Sarah displayed an extraordinary intellect and an insatiable thirst for knowledge. Her parents fostered her curiosity, introducing her to the wonders of science and the mysteries of the universe. Family stargazing nights became a cherished tradition, where Sarah's fascination with the night sky took root. Under the canopy of stars, she would ask endless questions about constellations, planets, and the possibility of life beyond their world. One night, while stargazing with her family, a shooting star streaked across the sky, leaving a trail of dazzling light. Inspired by this celestial display, Stardust felt an overwhelming desire to not just admire the stars but to journey among them. This moment became the catalyst for her future endeavors. Determined to understand the magic behind the stars, Stardust delved into books, attending every lecture and workshop on astronomy that she could find. At some point, she comes across a book that tells of a cosmic totem in a forest outside of Neo-Manehatten.
One fateful day, while exploring a dense forest near her home, Sarah stumbled upon an ancient artifact called the Cosmic Totem infused with cosmic energies. Unaware of its significance, she found herself exposed to a unique combination of celestial forces. This serendipitous encounter transformed her into Rocketgirl, granting her unparalleled cosmic powers and the ability to soar among the stars. The discovery of the ancient artifact in the forest would not only grant her incredible powers but also test her courage and resilience, shaping her into the hero she was destined to become. Embracing her newfound abilities, Stardust adopted the superhero persona, Rocketgirl, and dedicated herself to protecting Neo-Manehatten from supernatural threats.
