You open the door on the left, planning to go through the other two once you've received enough anal injections.
Endless dongs float arround you. Against your expectations, the door remains open behind you.
You try to catch a dong.
It flutters away.
You offer your anus.
No one cares.
This is torture.

You ready your slutomancy and release it all in a burst, sending yourself soaring to the skies.
The dongs had no chance. You grab one and, before hitting the ground, insert it in your anus.
https://files.catbox.moe/d2gbrx.png
The dongs banish, and the door succs you out, then seals itself.
The anus in its wood glows golden.
Which of the doors do you enter now?

Go into other quests and murder the QM while they're running without being seen. Then, while the players are mourning their loss, bring them fanart and hot chocolate to gain their trust. Eventually, to satisfy their lust for questing, they will migrate to other quests, and if they don't migrate to yours, continue to murder QMs until they have no other quests to play.

You ask the mare why doesn't she have a tail. She doesn't answer.
Curious, you inspect the strange cavity between her legs. Is this what is known as a phusss-aayy?
Out of sheer curiosity, you try to put your dick inside her phusay.
Where does something get inside you?
Hrm.
You ask her if she needs a new tail. She keeps smiling.
You try to put your penis inside again, but are simply incapable of doing it.
You ask if she has a dick somewhere.
The door expels you like the anus door, glowing golden too.
And you didn't even get a dicking.
With a frustrated sigh, you enter the mouth door.
There is a smilling stallion awaiting, boner ready.
Now this is what you want.
You succ the stallion dry.
Another stallion appears from tin air.
You succ it too.
A third one appears.

You keep sucking.
They keep appearing.
Eventually, you discover they key to win.
You move one of them to give you an anal injection while you succ, a third one giving the succed stallion an anal injection.
The door cannot bear such stress. It expels you, shinning golden.
A great grand stallion appears with a cloud of glitter, his beard delicately brushed.
He demands the ultimate test.
A battle of wills.
Be enough of a slut that even he cannot help but make you his bitch.
If you come inside him, in the other hoof, you will forever be unworthy of being called a slut.
He starts succing you immediately, using his tongue in ways that you didn't know were physically possible.
Zombies try to reach you both, still yelling their intrincate backstories, but the sheer slutness in the air burns them to ashes.

You try barking. He laughs, but returns to succing.
You talk about how mighty his balls are, but he ignores it.
In a last bid to protect your slut status, you use your secret technique.
You power bottom him.
You wiggle your tail, distracting him, and slide under his belly, mouth open.
It's an explosion of power, a thermal expansion, a escape of pure energy that escapes you when you unleash your full slutomantic power.
He has no chance. It's only a few seconds before his seed fills your whole being, escaping your nostrils.
You have achieved full control of your slutness.
You can sex reality into whatever you want.
In a flash of inspiration, you go into the astral plane to delete a singular object from reality.
With The Grand Rugby Ball gone, all other rugby balls will quickly follow suit.
You throw a beam of succ at it.
You miss.
The ball flies at you at probabilistic speeds in retaliation, its aura shinning crimson.

Finishing after the next.

If you think that stuff should go in the op, it would probably be better to wait until the thread is near death and before a new thread is going to be made to mention it, so that no one will forget to add it if they agree.

Fins, I wanted to say thank you. Even if I didn't have the same hours as others to vote, I did enjoy WITN. Your drawing skill is getting better, but you should study making music more. Old games and stuff.

You could have still waited a little later into the thread, it'll probably be a few days before this one dies, and it will have been forgotten by then if anyone even noticed to begin with.
Alternatively, we could discuss other changes to the OP to give other people reasons to remember.
Is there anything else in the OP anyone else feels should be added or changed? If it does get updated, it'd be good to use the opportunity to make any other changes anyone feels might be necessary.
Anyone think any of the strawpolls should be removed/updated/replaced with new ones?
Can anyone think of any other links that should be added besides the paperpone dropbox?
Any extra information you think should be added?
etc.
Here's a question horse to help motivate people to answer.
>>
>>28931109
look for Huion
good quality
drivers are a bit of a hassle but work once installed
cheap as fuck compared to wacom equivalent
>>
>>28931288
That link and other such links should go into a linkdump pastebin instead. There's half a dozen links to things that would eventually get requested to be added that'd make as much sense as the paperpony pastebin. The OP would just start looking ugly.

>>28931341

>>28931395
add em all! use link shortners though.
Combine the strawpoll into one poll.
>>
>>28931395
Anything else? Should a link to sekrit club be in the pastbin as well? What about QM tumblrs/livestreams/dropboxes? Does anyone even do livestreams anymore?
Does anyone have a pastbin that they are willing to put these in and keep them updated? Otherwise I or someone else can just toss these into a guest paste, only problem with that is the OP would have to be updated every time new links need to be added.
>>
>>28931450
No, that would be going to far. Calm down.
>>
>>28931447
>combine the polls
That defies the point of having them there. Those are the questions that get asked incessantly, putting them behind the barrier of a link just means they'll start getting asked again.

>>28931450
>sekrit
Sure I guess.

>tumblrs/streams/dropboxes
No, that's maintenance no one will want to do. Go to their threads if you want quest specifics.
>>
>>28931447
I don't think we should use link shorteners for them if we're putting them into a pastebin, and combining all the strawpolls into one massive poll would just be confusing and retarded considering all the subjects they cover.

>>28931499
The >>28931495 link is set to never expire. Putting it behind an off-site link will likely be enough of a deterrent. It's the same one from when Alch decided to nuke the server months back.
>>
>>28931506
The other anon suggested a pastebin to keep the OP from getting cluttered with dozens of links, which I agree with.
>>
>>28931506
>>28931532
I don't see a particular need for the PP dropbox to be added to the OP in the first place, but if it is I'd rather just bite the bullet and have a pastebin instead.
>>
>>28931532
I disagree, I like clutter, but ok.

We need a pastebin then, someone taking care of that in sekrit?
>>
>>28931540
it's so people can play with them anon, for fun.
>>
>>28931540
I don't really care if it's there or not either. I'm sure most folks who would want the link already have it saved, and it doesn't really get asked for often, but some of those other links might be useful to have in one place if someone needs them.

>>28931551
Fuck if I know. I don't go there. We can just stick it in a guest paste since it likely won't need updated often.
>>
>>28931540
Also as an honorific, because he's made ever CYOA pony that has ever been asked for, which is awesome.

I'd just like to air out about what I've been thinking is going to happen after the events of WitN like I did with the previous TNL. So basically guessing or my own little headcannon, depending if my questions are ever answered in the future. Also spoilers warning.


Shortly thereafter the end I think that the North's relations with bordering Lands can only improve, especially the Craglands whom they have always been chill with. I think that Mathe and Vera's help to restore the North went to make the ties between the Noth and Craglands that much stronger.

Knit, Brun and the gang continue their adventures for a while, never going too far from their homeland before coming back to stay with their tribe. Knit becomes either tribe leader or someone of great importance in the tribe. CS and Marion I can see either coming back to the tribes of moving to a city. Aphid and Merry I have no idea what the hell is going to happen to.

In the long run the Peacemakers become an elite unit of the Northern army, specializing in reconnaissance and fearsome in battle but always prioritizing the well being of civilians. It becomes tradition to recruit Peacemakers from the best the tribes have to offer, for the wilds of the North are unforgiving and make sturdy ponies.

Now I have some questions for Fins if he doesn't mind. How did the surrounding Lands react to hearing the horn of Demonview? What's the story behind Knit's mother? And finally for fun, did Rocky and Shuvelle hear the horn? If yes, where were they?
>>
>>28931566
I think more people would be aware of it, especially the newfags and it would inject a little life into our thread. There was a long time before I new there was a dropbox. I thought they were only posted in the thread.
>>
>>28931499
Why not, cyoag gets flooded with every newfag too. it's not and isn't supposed to be an exclusive discord.
>>
>>28931581
Those are some nice predictions, some of them very true. Inter-land relationships improve to the point that it will become vital to the plot of future chapters. The Peacemakers do become an elite unit for a very long ass time, and training of scouts sort of becomes tradition. More like it's better enforced in the tribes. Aurorians don't train scouts, they just get bigger weapons and shields. It works.

The horn can be heard pretty much all the way to the southern ocean, and while many ponies didn't really know what it was, those who had knowledge or an intuition were very much afraid and some tried to find out as much information as possible. The news spread after the fact, making the populace much more aware of Demonview's purpose.

Aisha (Knit's mom) was just a unicorn traveler and seamstress who happened to fall in love with a stallion at the North. She was fragile at first, but learned to survive along with the tribes and "settled" with them. However, during a particularly vicious hunting outing she overestimated how long she could stay in the middle of a horde, eventually falling behind and getting caught by monsters.

Rocky and Shuvelle were actually pretty close when the horn sounded, somewhere along the northern Heroican border (close to Old Camp). They heard the horn and decided to investigate. She missed the Peacemakers but made it to Demonview and later heard the news. She got really pissed of letting such a chance go. Something tells me, in the many probabilities I can see, that she and Knit could meet one day, in the distant future of chapters 3, 4, 5...

Enjoy some lore and feel free to ask. Even though it kinda makes me want to run chapter 3 right now and that's a bit scary.

>>28931636
How much of what happens in the cyoas affect's later chapters of nine lands?
>>
>>28931657
like the planning and stuff.
>>
>>28931657
>>28931664
The overall plot stays the same, but the starting conditions and events are based on what's happened in recent history: relationships between countries, what happened to this or that character, balance of monster and npc power, etc. If it's within my tolerated range, the main plot(s) that can be presented to the players might change too.
>>

>>
>>28931674
So what are some things that almost happened that didn't? Also do you have any neat wips, unused stuff, or background info you wish to share?
>>
>>28931832

What did they do to you Anon?
>>
>>28931869
I wish I had cool arts or music or anything at all to show, but I lived session to session, just making do with the energy I had, which I understand is deplorable, but also what allowed me to reach an end along with the players.

I always plan as many different events as I can, different plotlines based on the character's speed of advance and route. Some interesting examples: Several times I thought about having Rocky and Shuvelle cameo in, but often I backed down because I think appearances of that level should be well thought and accompanied by good presentation and visuals. That plus the speed we went through the last few towns settled it out.
Another recurrent possibility was fighting Aurora. In fact, the song used for the final boss was originally hers (her final fate disguised the name, but it's originally a reference to her undying loyalty).
Had the players gone different routes, they would have found other characters and enemies. There were some interesting fight ideas at the fortress of The Cross and the Inya Lake. And so many more things I probably forgot and discarded. Maybe one day I'll keep a proper level of energy through a quest and then some, to carry out better ideas.
>>
>>28931898
what amazing mythical treasures are in the mountain of demonview? what does rocky think of the north so far? is janos going to have a boy or a girl? what's the biggest and strongest monster in all the nine lands and where do they reside?
>>
>>28931942
>mountain of demonview
>mountain of de monvie w
>>
>>28931930
The first and the last questions might be solved in future quests, or die in oblivion. Rocky's very much comfortable in the North, since it's close to home and also full of monsters to fight and goodies to collect. The ponies in there become gradually less resentful of foreigners (but still keeping that base of racism).
Janos has a boy, a worthy heir of a political position since control of the North turns to councils and chamber meetings.

>>
>>28931993
No, next chapter will happen relatively soon, and marginally show the effects opening up northern borders had on intercultural relationships. But that quest might be a ways away, and who knows, maybe CYOA will die with this very thread and we'll never partake of it.
>>
>>28932000

I can imagine.

>>28931898
I'm glad she didn't show up. You're definitely right that a previous MC showing up shouldn't be taken lightly.

>>28931950
I had a feeling that Nords would be keen on being rid of royalty.
>>
>>28931972
I'm siding with smallers.
>>
>>28932031
To be fair, "Auroria" (the former court) turns into a chunk of the council and Janos a member along with other tribe chiefs, and those are entitled to dynasty as long as the heir can prove a minimum level of mental and physical aptitude (hunting parties and dungeon diving, yay).

Since there is fucking NOTHING running and I've found that I have lost all meaning to my life I will resort to posting a "critique" of Bardquest.

Characters and their interaction are lovely and always entertaining. Pleeny's biggest weakness if you ask me is that he often does not describe the surroundings. He doesn't set the scene so it's hard to imagine the characters as they interact. The first chapter was very well done arc with here being a wonderful mystery but the second "chapter" has suffered from a real lack of focus. It feels as though, ideally, there are to be arcs or chapters too focus on specific people, places, or events but it's somewhat lost that feel. An upside though is that there's ALWAYS something to do for the little bard. Our to do list has stretched pretty far and I wonder how long it will be before she just runs out of juice from trying to help everybody. Another thing is that Pleeny has made an interesting world that I want to see more of and he does a good job of always keeping the ball rolling and not letting the action bog down too much.

Oh and Pleeny, while the ability to talk to Cabbage is cool it feels really really weird since what we previously we treated as a pet we now treat as a companion.

Why the wew?
Am I not making sense or something? I want to know why he hates the Club. One QM in there having come from Derpibooru doesn't seem to justify hating the entire thing.

There are derpifags in this thread right now. That's no reason to disown the entire general. I want to be given a justified reason for disliking sekrit club, is that too much to ask?
>>
>>28933374
Because you aparently do need someone to explain what is wrong with CQ.
>>
>>28933391

It's a bland not-adventure quest about a small colt that is regularly forced into sexual encounters by either the players or his companions.
It's a pedophila story, and I don't care for it.

I'm not asking about Coltquest, I'm asking about Sekrit club.

Is your argument seriously going to be: Minster came from Derpi and reads CQ, therefore the entire club is corrupt and awful? They do worse things, I know, but I want to hear your actual reasons for disliking it, Anon.
>>
>>28933446
I'm not that anon, I just wew'd you for not getting that pedophilia was the problem with coltquest. Leave me alone.

I really just want to know that Anon's hot opinions on sekrit.

Even mint knows whats wrong with CQ going by that last line/joke.

Doesn't explain why that anon 'lost respect' for 'multiple QMs'.
>>
>>28933473
Thats not even the topic anon...

Also 'pedophilia' isn't even the problem with Colt Quest. There's nothing wrong with pedophilia as a topic or theme for a work and it can be done well as both a serious or light hearted approach. The problem with CQ is massive tone whiplash.
>>
>>28933485
>It just didn't seem relevant, and I'm also trying not to trigger the derpifags into a 20 year argument again.
OK, sorry. That's actually why I deleted my wew, but alas, it was too late. I'm actually one of the anons who asked him why. The is thing though, that element has a lot to do with why I don't want to go to secret club myself, or ever come off anon, but I don't want to talk about it either
>>
>>28933549
>CQ is massive tone whiplash.

What was the whiplash?
>>
>>28933446
I haven't been paying attention to your discussion until now because I didn't give a shit, but reading through the reply chain, it appears anon dislikes the club because QMs will talk about themselves and share information about their history, taste, and or motives that trigger anons and make them dislike QMs who they would otherwise be fine with.
Anon probably thinks CQ/derpifags are autistic faggots and is triggered by anyone who is associated with them. Mint apparently read it, and ran a quest because of it. As a result of being associated with a quest/group he hates, anon lost respect for Mint, and hates sekrit club because it caused this information to reach him when it otherwise would have gone unmentioned and hidden.
>>
>>28933576
>oh no, emeralds parents abused him and its horrific and we all feel terrible for him.

Now lets play the same circumstances off for laughs and spend the whole quest normalising the behaviour.

I thought the problem with CQ was that Psker or psyker or whatever the fuck his name is was an autist and anons liked pissing him off.
>>
>>28933549
Pedophilia as a topic isn't what Colt Quest is, it's pedophilia as something to jerk off to.

As for Cabbage, you can treat it like a talking pet, think whatever strange and arguably cute talking animu thing but not very relevent to the plot.

Stanksgiving, the funkiest of holidays.
>>
So I've been gone for a week, partly because most of last week was shit but mostly because I've just been feeling too exhausted to keep making myself QM. So I took some time off. I'm sorry I didn't announce it, but luckily it doesn't seem like there's been much asking about me, so I just kind of let it go.

Now, though, it's Thanksgiving, so I felt like popping in to... well, give thanks. For over 3 and a half years now, you guys have made me feel like I'm doing something worthwhile with my life. ...Done laughing? Good. Being able to make characters that people love and worry about and want to see triumph over adversity has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, and it's given me some much-needed structure and an outlet to channel my abundant energy and shitty ideas into. I wish I could give a big, grandiose speech telling you all how grateful I am, but with so much energy being focused on the holiday (which isn't just busy as usual, but is also especially rough for the reasons you're probably sick of hearing about after months and months), my words are failing me. I just want you to know that I'm really, truly thankful for everything you guys have given me, and that for all the shit that I have to go through, my life wouldn't be as good as it is if not for you all. Thank you very much, and Happy Thanksgiving.

why does this quest have so many people bumping without voting

its understandable when there are a variety of possible things to do that not everybody will have a suggestion but when it is a simple either or matter i dont understand why it happens

do they feel uncomfortable with seconding anothers suggestion or something
>>
>>28939449
Well...

I've bumped a quest multiple times after voting once before. That could be part of it, if they aren't using a static IP they would be showing up as multiple posters.

Also, us bump anons will occasionally bump a CYOA that we don't read, if we see that it needs it.

There's always the readers who bump but don't post.

But mostly it's just that a lot of players are cowards, and don't want to be responsible for casting the deciding vote if it turns out to be the wrong decision.

i know its not the voters bumping i voted and made the second bump but the first was somebody else

>>28939600
If horse puns are not a necessity, you can find multiple generators for town names if you use google.
If you want the name to have more meaning to the town and not just some random shit, then try and pick aspects of the town or surrounding area and try and make some sort of name out of that. Like if it has an abundance of pine trees, name it "pinewood" or some shit.

I'll try not to waste your time with the same shit you've heard a million times before. My motivation for running anything, and even being associated with CYOA is at a low I don't believe I've experienced since I've begun running Frostbitten.
I honestly don't know what would be more painful, ending it now or running so sparsely that everyone misses the session and having the quest go at an agonizingly slow pace.

So I've been getting complaints of OOC in my CYOA on Fimfiction. Is the criticism valid?

>>
>>28944566
The entire premise is shit. Scrap it.
>>
>>28944566
>Joffrey Baratheon
Most CYOAs start you off as a character the audience makes themselves. Not this literally who.

Also, if they think you're writing pre-existing characters as OOC, then you have to rethink your entire idea of how they'll react to this Joffrey guy. Immediately right off the bat Twilight is acting disdainful. Even as a princess people think she'll act rational, logical, to any type of violence unless provoked. No matter what "history" there is, if your player doesn't know it, it's useless and makes the character look out of place, out of touch, OOC.

Your CYOA would only be fitting for people who already know who the fuck Joffrey is, and I'm pretty sure that not a lot of people on FimFic know what his series is in the first place.
>>
>>28944616
There's no way for me to make it work, huh?

If that's the case, I may very well just scrap it.

>>28944653
A Game of Thrones is a ludicrously popular TV series. Even more popular than MLP. I'd genuinely be surprised if the people on Fimfic who knew about it were in the minority.

You know what? I think I'll scrap it. There is no conceivable way to make it work.

I ran a CYOA with just about the same premise here on 4chan, and it was a bit more successful simply because this site is more compatible with comment-based CYOA's, but it still failed because people just plain despise Joffrey.

It's okay, I wouldn't blame you if you actually meant it, I can barely stand us.

So why are you so unmotivated to run?
>>
>>28945374
Well I think there's a couple main reasons. Probably going to sound like an idiot again, but here we go.
Muh deepresshun aside there's one of two ways a normal frostbitten thread could turn out for me.
We have a fair bit of fun, interesting things happen, people get more things to guess and theorize about, we get to do something other than sit around and talk/move from place to place, and the players seem generally like they're having a good time. Which would make me feel good and enjoy the session. Maybe I even run the day after because the last session was great.
Alternatively, it could be a session full of dialogue and nothing else (besides maybe a time where you get up and go from point A to point B or something), the thread is full of 1-5 word, seemingly completely uninterested responses, and the thread dies super early (earlier than usual) and I'm left feeling like that was the fuckin shittiest session I've ever ran and barely get up the nerve to run again.
But the last thread was actually decent as hell, so I'm not sure why I feel like my quest is shittier than usual.
Maybe it's the weather. Maybe it's just me being a bad QM.

>>28945449
Come on, conversation-filled sessions are nothing bad. Character development, world-building and all such stuff.
>>
>>28945566
I'm not saying they're "bad" in any case, it's more or less the responses that get to me. If I feel like they aren't having fun, or are bored/disappointed, I don't have much fun.
The crushing fear of disappointing strangers on the internet on a Australian stingray strangling board is real.
>>
>>28945605

Well, they would not reply if the are not having fun.
>>
>>28945641
Yeah, they wouldn't, but people have thought they were having fun playing my quest only to find out that they were actually not having fun and just had shit taste, so who knows.
God why am I still hung up on that. Something about that just made me depressed as fuck.
In any case, I'm still not sure when I'll run again. i'd love to make a promise to try to run more, but i know i'd just be setting everyone up for disappointment. i'd love to have a good schedule, decent run times and what not, but that's just..no happening I guess

Numb, the only time I've been "disappointed" in your quest was when that guy just magic'd Misty interal bleeding, which I though was bullshit but you seem to have got the idea. Even if a session is nothing but dialogue I have a good time. If it weren't for work and sleep I promise you I would keep Frostbitten bumped.

Don't give up just because you feel like we don't care.

>Yeah, they wouldn't, but people have thought they were having fun playing my quest only to find out that they were actually not having fun and just had shit taste, so who knows.
Holy fuck what
That guy with shit taste was me, and no, I didn't stop following you. When I wrote that one post, someone else replied "as someone with high standards, please don't [stop having shit taste], because I don't remember the last time I had fun". So I keep on following the things I like, and I still like the things I used to like. I think I even got to participate in your last thread.
Fuck man, I hope you're not actually depressed because of me. That would kill me, I'm so sorry

A quest that's a total mindfuck to the players, or has a dramatic shift in tone halfway through.

It would probably be next to impossible to pull off without causing a shitstorm and accusations of railroading, but really impressive if it could.

There probably have been a couple quests that at least came close, but I can't think of any I've played/read. Longname maybe, but that's just going by what I've picked up about it here.
>>
>>28948454
You can't really pull out shift in tone without changing the genre of quest. Nobody wants to come and play SoL only to find out that protag is horribly mutilated and all who he knew are dead.
>>
>>28948454
>A quest that's a total mindfuck to the players
A very fun type of quest to make, I think. Keeps people guessing and on their toes.

For sure. The theater in Unique is still my favorite area in any CYOA so far.
>>
>>28948550
>The theater in Unique

Color me intrigued. Details?
>>
>>28948550
Unique is the other one I was thinking of that might fit that description. I've been wanting to read it but it's listed as cancelled, is it still worth reading or will I just wind up feeling cucked and unfulfilled?
>>
>>28948527
I disagree.

Though, It would have to be planned right and done with a delicate hand. Also, it dosn't have to be a shift to maximum edge. It could even be the other way around.
>>
>>28948700
Sure.
A little backstory first. Soon after the train fell into the city, most of the passengers were herded to a theater. The gist of said theater was that there was an eternal play. If you hear the play, you'll never want to leave.

So we go on a rescue mission, stuffing cotton balls in our ears to partially protect us from the mindrapey effects. Turns out they don't really block it out very well, so time was of the essence.
The plan of action was to stop the play by taking out the actors, if I recall. However, as we neared the stage, the play got louder, and we saw a monster behind the curtain.
We stabbed it to death, but later found out that it was just a pony and the fucky perceptions of reality. The 'oh shit' moment was when the audience broke into applause and the MC raised their spear to strike the monster again.
Then later it went to a more standard boss fight with the conductor who was controlling all the mindfuck.
I don't really do it justice, it was much better in the moment.

>>28948725
It ended at a really disappointing part after Sloth had a string of bullshit twists following a massive hiatus. Unique had a strong start that died with a whimper.
and now he's running it as a pnp game for his real life friends, so that's what Sloth means when he says 'well Unique isn't really dead'
>>
>>28948782
Thanks, yea I'll skip it then. It's times like this I remind myself that there are hundreds of other non-pony related things that are on my reading list. Too bad I missed it, I would have loved to have been along for the ride while it lasted though.

I want to ask, would Aurora be classified as an antihero?

In Crystal Warlock she had very selfish motivations. Sombra offered the the chance to be an apprentice to the whole of the Crystal Empire and Aurora only took it because she would rather be the dark king's apprentice than a slave in the mines or fitted with a mind-controlling helmet and fight. All the way until the end she was a coward and considered her own life above anybody else. Now in Crystal Symphony, being brought back as a crystal golem she has new resolve. She's lost much of her fear and cowardice but any of her motivations are self-centered. She saved her friend at the cost of the capture of an entire army (which was actually quite small compared to a human army, but hey) and was ready to resign them to that fate. She has compassion, most definitely. She wants to be rid of the slaves that the Vizier has made of the captured enemy and have peace. Still though she thinks of peace for herself and her closest friends. I think that if there was a way out to escape the war and Sombra with her friends an they supported it, she would leave it all behind in a heartbeat. But it's her friend that keeps her grounded gives her something to live for.

She's not necessarily a good pony and I love that about her. So does she count as an "antihero"?

I don't play Symphony, but I think that qualifies as an antihero. Antiheros don't have to be bad people/ponies, but by definition they lack heroic attributes. A huge amount of MCs qualify if you look at it like that. Notable ones I'd say Chalk, Harvest, and maybe Cold File.
