<INF> Description
>>> A notable story arc in The Reboot Timelines is about a timeskip into Necro and Twilight's future. Kirb designed three children for them to inherit together, and while no story reason was ever given -- and, by the nature of discussing said topic, likely never will be due to it being inappropriate for this setting -- it's still canon that Shade Zera, Tyria Zera and Starstrike Zera are blood-bound to their parents.
>>> Firstly, Shade's design is a simple dark-gray coat with a brown mane & tail, also having deep-blue eyes. Secondly, Tyria's mane & tail are dark-navy with a bright magenta stripe, replacing the other, purple stripe with bright green. She also has bright green eyes, though they have occasionally been depicted more lime-colored. Lastly, Starstrike's design is a light-green coat with a brown mane & tail like Shade, though he has lavender accents the same color as Twilight's coat. Notably, Starstrike's hairstyle has changed every so often; it started as the same shape as Shade's, then became much curlier (similar to how Kirb's future self-insert would be drawn), and the lavender stripes changed to ring-shaped patches. A final choice is still up in the air.
<INF> Backstory
>>> As characters, the ponies were created fairly early into Necro and Twilight's history, some months after Necro was established. The idea was to embrace more "slice of life"-style stories and passive moments for the family to bond through. It was originally Shade and Tyria alone before Starstrike was introduced later, also being at infant age while the other two are mild pre-teens.
<INF> Abilities
>>> All the siblings have no known abilities outside of standard Equestrian prowess; Tyria and Starstrike have Unicorn horns and all three have Pegasus wings. That said, none of them have shown the full extent of their natural status. They have not taken proper flight nor magic training from known tutors in Equestria and instead have grown up in Necro's world for the span of their lives so far. In fact, they wouldn't step into Equestria at all until the end of The Reboots, where Equestria's legacy was in danger.
<INF> Relationships
>>> The siblings do not have many relationships with other characters (outside a couple of exceptions) and mainly kept each other company. Shade and Tyria would be homeschooled until roughly their 8th birthdays, then going to a public school with human kids as they were still in the only pony family in Necro's world.
<DSC> ["DIGI-KADE"] A yet-to-be-made side-story for Kirb: Nightmare in Funland shows Shade and Tyria interacting with Digi-Kade, a digital assistant coded by Necro and inspired by Kade, while the main group was out searching for Kirb. He was wary at first but let them know what was happening with Kade. It's unknown what happens to them in KNiF after the scene ends.
