Many of you probably know my name from those books, in fact! I was a beta-tester on the Manga Studio 5 program and for Clip Studio Paint, and I have written three books and several video courses about the program. Also, being part alicorn, he can learn other spells other than what his special talent allows him to do.Hello! My name is Liz Staley and I’m a long-time user of Clip Studio Paint (I started using the program back when it was known as Manga Studio 4!). As a teenager/adult he would use the disguise whenever he was outside of Canterlot as to not bring too much unwanted attention to himself or to cause too much excitement. He mostly used this disguise when he was young and in school so he could tell who his real friends are. He usually disguises himself as a black earth pony that goes by the name Coal. He is able to change the appearance of himself and other objects. While the rivalry has died down a bit, they still jab at each other. He and Val used to be rivals and would compete to see who would be the best prince. They cause mischief together, have fun and occasionally get on each other's nerves. Nidra and Illusion are pretty close and are almost more like siblings. He and Prism don't get along too well but they tolerate each other. He and Starburst are good friends but he likes to annoy her in order to get her to lighten up. Illusion and Candy get along great due to their love for fun but Candy does get worried when things get too crazy. They have a brotherly friendship but when Illusion comes by to take Claire out, T gives him strange looks. He and T have an interesting relationship. Illusion generally does hang out with the main 6 kids but usually only if they're with Claire. He's always visiting her in Ponyville at her shop. They have a rather playful, flirtatious relationship. He was her only friend and one of the only ones who accepted her and her unique qualities. They'd known each other since they were really young and when Claire was still living in Canterlot. Illusion usually apologizes right after and blames his father. Even more so when they use their magic to harass her. Celestia usually gets pissed off at them for harassing her subjects. They often go out and use it to mess around with other ponies and creatures. The way he teaches is A LOT more hands on than Celestia. Discord also teaches Illusion 'spells' or chaos magic and is currently the fun parent (since Illusion is older and less prone to get hurt). She was the 'fun parent' when he was younger which is why he's still a momma's boy. She teaches spells to him, he's there to help her feel better when she's down and vice-versa. Illusion does want to be a great prince so he works extra hard to gain his subjects' trust by projecting an extremely regal and responsible personality when out in public.Ĭelestia and Illusion have a great mother-son bond. They're not very keen on him becoming a ruler. As a result, Illusion tends to be more arrogant around him.īecause Illusion is of draconequus decent, and his father was a villain, the ponies of Equestria have a hard time trusting him. Illusion doesn't really like Prism's cocky attitude even though Prism is usually joking around. He gets along with most of the other characters but he and Prism Bolt seem to butt heads a lot. So essentially, most of the time, he has the opposite personality of who he hangs out with at the time to level things out. However when they are simply hanging out, he starts to get silly and annoying just to get a reaction from her. When with Starburst he is usually more serious since when they are together, they are usually dealing with royal duties. For example, when he is with Anthea, his kind, caring side shows through. Illusion's personality changes depending on who he is with.

He does, however, try to act a little more cool around her. Fun-loving and everything mentioned before. He is the truest to himself when with Clarity. He has a love for mischief but knows when he's going too far. However, he is generally cool, cunning and witty. He's a wild card and has several personalities. Illusion is a very interesting character and he's kinda hard to explain. Nicknames: Lulu (only by Claire to tease him)
