some notes on Sprout

- i intentionally give Sprouting Bulb and Spinneret different personalities and mannerisms.  Sprout is a bit more cordial, a little coy, and always smiling.  Spins, meanwhile, is noticeably more casual.  while Sprout might entertain the antics of a flirting stallion, Spins would just leave.  speaking of which... - Spinneret is homosexual.  she's pretty open about it (as long as she's open about being a changeling), though given the nature of changelings, she plays Sprout as bisexual to maximize potential prey. - Spins is actually competent at disguising herself.  most of the time, when somepony figures her out, it's because she wanted them to.  if she finds somepony she really likes, she's more likely to drop hints about her true nature.  not to say she never makes mistakes, though. - she tends to romanticize her time with Elytron.  in reality, the two were normal friends, with their usual ups and downs; in Spins' memory, they got along perfectly and Elly was a flawless being who could do no wrong. - after what happened to Elytron, she has become fiercely protective of her friends.  if Spinneret is your friend, rest assured she will protect you at any cost.  she will not have a repeat of that day. - while Spinneret isn't a self-insert (anymore), several aspects of her personality are still based on me.  the themes of her storyline are also borrowed from my own life, though i haven't been through anything as extreme as Spins has. - EQG Spinneret has a few differences from normal Spins.  the most notable is their tastes in music; while the changeling aspires to be a pop star, the human is more interested in EDM. - Spins is very physically affectionate.  remember to cuddle your Spinneret at least five times a day.  four is acceptable...if you're evil.
