(feel like giving Silver some back story)

From lower Canterlot (slightly above Ponyville on the class chain) he was born from two earth ponies. He didn’t really like Canterlot because everypony was so uptight. Of course, he was was able to deal with them by getting them to go away. one day in school, he found some douche unicorns beating an earth pony for being poor and an earth pony. he was able to persuade them to pick on somepony else. That somepony else was the son of a high ranking guard and handed them their flanks on a gold platter. that’s when Silver got his cutiemark for being able to persuade ponies. He usually ended up protecting fellow losers and outsiders until now when all he has to deal with until senor year is his asshole father.
