Background: As a young girl, Cadance was given an insurmountable amount of love from her family and all those that knew her. To mom and dad, she was their "little princess." They pretty much spoiled her, though it never had an effect on Cadance's cute and courteous personality.
Despite being deemed a "princess", Cadance liked things that boys liked. She loved watching wrestling on television, though she never understood the concept of "villains." She didn't understand how Ecniv NohaMcM could be so mean to Evets Nitsua. But Ecniv wasn't the only one. It seemed like for every good guy Cadance rooted for, there was a bad apple to make her hero hurt.
Cadance could pout and cry all she wanted, but the bad guys never went away. If the nice wrestlers beat them, they'd just be back the next night to terrorize someone new.
Even when Cadance grew older, and learned the truth about wrestling, she would NEVER cheer for the heels. She knew they were likely nice people in life, but she would not show them love for what they had done to the nice wrestlers. Cadance was someone full of love, but would only shower it on those who had earned it.
In a cruel twist of irony, Cadance fell in love with someone her parents did not approve of. Someone her parents thought was like the bad guys she grew up loving to see lose. His name was Shining Armor. Cadance's parents did not approve of his "care-free attitude." The fact that Cadance would surf with him, and drive around town on his motorcycle ate away at them. Their princess was growing up, they knew that, but she was showing love to someone she shouldn't be.
Shining Armor wasn't a bad boy, but Cadance took notice of the way her folks looked at him. With discontent. She couldn't understand how they could dislike him. He was just so..easy to LOVE.
And then Cadance realized, that she too had been wrong about people. Those villains on TV were playing characters. Trying to garner money to support themselves and their families. Cadance disliked these nefarious characters, when there was really a lot to respect and like when she looked a bit deeper.
And her parents disliked Shining Armor because they weren't looking deep enough. All they saw was a leather jacket and they had a prime suspect for the corruption of their daughter. But there was SO MUCH good there. Cadance just had to make sure her parents saw it.
Shining Armor wasn't playing a character. He legitimately cared for Cadance. In due time, thankfully, Cadance's parents saw this, and finally realized that their princess was happy, and that her throne was behind Shining Armor on his motorcycle.
Years later, in a dose of MORE irony, both Cadance and Shining Armor ARE playing characters. But their admiration for each other….is no act.
