Lyra (and mother) (and Birdy)

[ladymoondancer]

One of the Canterlot Follies illustrations. Lyra's mother, Dame Heartsong, is far too interested in marrying her daughter off to a noblepony. Poor Lyra! Meanwhile Birdy is sporting his best "awkwaaaaard!" expression and wishing he were elsewhere.

And below, a close up from Birdy from this picture, with a slightly different version of his symbol. I'm pondering if the bird looks better with shading or not.
