__**ADVISOR MANDRAGORA, The Moonlight Maiden**__
**Mandragora** is a rather mysterious character, atleast to the public; having been all but dragged into Equestrian Society by **Aurora Solaire** as the exiled Princess returned, Mandragora quickly cemented herself with being disturbingly knowledgeable about the goings-on within Equestrian politics and royalty and was thus given the role of Advisor. She still resides in the chamber within the depths of the castle, even long after **Helios**' rule came to an end.

She's built a little posse for herself, including the orphaned **Elpis**, her zebra spouse **Asase**, **Jade**'s homonculus **Emerald Eclipse**, and eventually many of the Changelings that slowly integrated into society (The latter was largely in order to lighten the load on Jade and the castle staff; when your wife is a Changeling Queen, it makes sense that you'd get help from anywhere you can and Mandragora just so happened to be willing).

Oh, I should address that; Mandragora, despite the... very familiar horn, is not actually a Changeling. Many have speculated about her true nature - and due to her rather hush-hush nature about her personal life, rumors have only grown (especially when **Carapace** became Equestrian Queen and- yeah it's a lot to chew on) - but none have received a concrete answer beyond an ambiguous relationship to the ancient **Perigee Royal Family**, who'd been long since exiled from Equestria as the **Solaire Family** took control...

Eh, I'm sure it's nothing.
