Aw, poor Gold Standard. Has to be rough constantly being told not only who to be, but what to be

The story gives some sad implied context behind his name, too. Like his purist parents expected him to be the "gold standard" of earth pony genes. But whoops, donkey ridge and zebra stripes are ruining that image and this stubborn boy won't hide them.

    <33 pretty much. It makes him kinda fun to play, if only I kinda know some of how he feels and it makes it interesting to explore from an outside perspective. <3 He almost had shin stripes in his design like those horse cave paintings but it didn't work entirely so I just kept the butt stripes.
