Backstory: Alyssa Rice was "born" as an Alicorn resulting from a magic fusion. Her parents, one a rice farmer, the other a DJ, wanted to have children, but they were infertile, so they had no choice but to adopt. Despite loving their first adopted son Anthony, they hoped to have one of their own. They made a wish on a shooting star that one day their own child could come into the world. Eventually, Alyssa arrived via a meteor-like object and landed near her family's rice farm. While Alyssa's parents were thrilled at the arrival of their own daughter by magic, they were also shocked to learn that she was born as an Alicorn. Despite this, they loved her with all of their hearts and named her "Alyssa." Alyssa adopted "Rice" as her last name when she was amazed by the beauty of the rice fields at a few years old.

As Alyssa was growing up, she decided to figure out what her destiny was. She tried out rice farming, but it was too stressful for her due to the environment. One day, she was exhausted from helping out her family in the fields that she decided to take a break. Anthony decided to cheer her up by letting her listen to music on his MP3 player. Just as Alyssa listened to the songs, she felt a wave of inspiration that eventually caused her to blast the music with the help of her magic. After the phenomenon, Alyssa earned her cutie mark in sharing the magic of music and love, much to the joy of her family and herself.

Not long after Alyssa earned her cutie mark, she and Anthony were introduced to their adopted younger brother Black Thunder. Despite dealing with their brother's troubles caused by hyperactivity, they loved him very dearly, and thought of him as someone who could make them happy.

When Alyssa started school, she was picked on for being the only Alicorn there, especially by Juno, who would become one of Alyssa's best friends after she apologized to her for what she had done. Alyssa also befriended Serenity and Zeyanna when they were bullied by Juno.

One day, Alyssa had a dream about a mysterious royal couple that made her be interested in them, thanks to her encounters with Daydream in her sleep. She told her brothers and friends about the dream, and was eager to learn more about it. At the same time, Alyssa and her friends met Julia after finding a drawing that she made. Alyssa realized that the drawing was of the couple in Alyssa's dream: Prince Flaring Shield and Princess Blossom. Since all seven ponies knew about the couple, they teamed up and became Alyssa Rice and Friends, with Alyssa being the leader due to her being an Alicorn and having great leadership skills. April 14th is considered a special day to her because it was the day when her group was formed.

Soon, Alyssa Rice and Friends went on a mission to the Jungle and Sky Kingdoms to help Flaring Shield and Blossom. While there, Alyssa learned that an evil stallion by the name of Lord Draven originally cursed the two kingdoms, and she had to do something to protect both kingdoms from him. When Lord Draven came back for revenge, Alyssa realized that teamwork and positivity were the things that were important to the kingdoms. With the help of Flaring Shield and Blossom, Alyssa Rice and Friends were able to defeat Lord Draven and restore peace and positivity to the two kingdoms, with Flaring Shield and Blossom becoming co-rulers of the Sky and Jungle Kingdom, respectively.

After their first mission was complete, Alyssa Rice and Friends were rewarded as the new heroes of Equestria. Being the leader, Alyssa was asked by Princess Twilight Sparkle if she was ready to become a princess, but Alyssa amicably declined, since she was not ready to deal with royal responsibilities yet. Since then, Alyssa's goal is to spread positivity throughout Equestria with her friends, and when she's not on those adventures, she usually works as a waitress at her family's cafe. She's also a DJ for concerts and parties, since music is her favorite thing in the world.

After a few months, I finally get to post my main OC Alyssa Rice's age chart and updated backstory! As for the latter, I didn't like it too much, since I wrote it back in 2018, and it came off as a bit cringy to me, so I decided to make some changes to it. Also, I will post Alyssa's three other sides as well.

Feel free to draw Alyssa Rice, or any of my OCs if you like! :) (Smile)

I hope you enjoy, and more art will be coming soon! Love
