When Tempest talks down about Cadance, Glitter Drops mentions how she protected the Crystal Empire from King Sombra for days on end.While venting her anger over Glitter Drops saving her from the Ursa Minor, Tempest thinks that she needs to ' open up her eyes'.The comic follows a comment by Twilight from the season 8 premiere, where she mentioned Tempest is out exploring Equestria.She also has no problem telling Cadance to her face that she believes she represents everything that's wrong with Equestria.When Twilight asks if they can throw her a going-away party, she states that she can't imagine anything that would make her more uncomfortable.

Justified in that the movie presented Tempest's backstory through the lens of her childhood memories, and as such it could reasonably be interpreted that she had misinterpreted certain details.

The comic has Tempest's childhood friends lose contact with her after washing out of Celestia's school, as opposed to writing her off as broken.

That could also explain why she always covers her side even after leaving the Storm King army - if you trust what the Cutie Mark Crusaders said in the past, 'Blank Side' ponies are often the target of jokes and derision, so maybe she is trying to hide that. Sadly as far as I know there is nothing in the comic that could confirm this, but at least is seems that this interpretation is backed by some elements in the story. Tempest Shadow could still be a 'blank side', without a Cutie Mark, because in her early life she never found what makes her happy. If we take this picture from the IDW comic issue #68 preview as canon, what Robert theorized in his question doesn't seem too farfetched. I recently had the idea to check if Tempest is shown having a Cutie Mark in any of her later appearances in the show/comics (see here for example, link to the Tempest Shadow gallery on the MLP wiki) but apparently she is always drawn with some dress or armor that covers said Mark. Maybe others may be more lucky or skille in goggle-jitsu arts and find out some intricate references a staff member gave out during an interview or something, but I couldn't find any.Ī little update. it is also plausible that they have already planned out an answer but are holding back on it.Ĭonclusion is: as now, there is no official statement I know of that would provide an answer to this question. only recently he got the official one that he is portrayed with in the season 7 finale, so.

So, it would be perfectly plausible that they haven't yet come up with a defined decision on how to use her character: as far as we know now, S8 may include and episode with the CMC helping her finding out her true purpose (yay! continuity!).Īlso consider that comic writers for a long period had a sort of 'embargo' on drawing Star Swirl cutiemark. Please also consider that Tempest Shadow character has undergone multiple changes - to the point that some source claims she originally was Cosmo, Celestia's brother from the original movie plots leaks. Obviously, this doesn't mean she doesn't have one, but up to season 7 ending we have no real proof suggesting either answer. So far, no official material seems to include a depiction of her cutie mark.
