Morning Glory

Morning Glory is the father of the Birthflowers. He appears as cold and stern, especially when he is trying to keep his late wife's secret from his children, but when they are turned to constellations, we see that he was protecting them rather than protecting himself. We see Morning Glory as an old stallion who tells the creation story of the stars to The Living Sisterhood throughout split episodes. It is hinted at by Snowflake that he had been married to the celestial alicorn Starbeam, which is why his children were not only earth ponies.

Though we do not know it is him at the beginning, it is heard through the narration of his story to Princess Snowflake, Abra-Ca-Dabra, Denim Blue, and Aloha Pearl that Morning Glory is a very loving father, though in the flashback episodes he seems like he is a very mean stallion because he is so tough on his children. He states once he reveals who he is:"'I come on and sit out here every night waitin'. Just waitin'. Waitin' on a time that might not come.  I look up at the stars and wait on goin' home to my foals.  I talk to 'em and sing to 'em and tell 'em stories like I used to, and I don't even know if they can hear me or not.  I'm here, though.  I wasn't at the beginning... But I am now.  Now and forever, until my forever ends.'"
