| Chris on Miss Night Star[1] | ||
Miss Night Star is the ponysona of Chris, originally created in June 2017. Two months later, during the events of Doopiegate, a Twitter account emerged with the online handle NightStar2891, who defended Chris against the trolls. Kiwi Farms soon proved that the account holder was actually Chris using a sockpuppet account to white knight himself, which he later confirmed. Since attending Bronycon 2017 in the same month, Chris has since become increasingly invested in My Little Pony and his character.
Conception
In June 2017, Chris drew art of himself as a My Little Pony character, dubbing his character "Miss Night Star". The cutie mark was based on the result of an online quiz result that he shared.[2] The next day, he drew fanart of Night Star crossing over with the official characters of the My Little Pony television show. He included a likeness of Andrea Libman, voice actress for the female ponies in the drawing, and tweeted it to her.[3]
Another day later, Chris shared a new drawing of his OC - clearly by another person and lacking credit to the artist.[4] On Kiwi Farms, user borbera proved that they were the artist, claiming that Chris did not express any gratitude for the work.[5] In August of the same year, Chris shared another fan drawing, once again without credit.[6] Following probing by a troll with regards to the latter art's creator, Chris saw fit to bring his sockpuppet account into the spotlight.[7]

Twitter sockpuppet

During the events of the Doopie Saga, users on Kiwi Farms discovered that Chris had made a Twitter sockpuppet account named after his pony character in early August 2017, @NightStar2891. Chris used the account to defend himself against trolls, supporting his claims to still being friends with Doopie, affirming his gender identity, and all but directly calling Doopie out for leaking the Doopie E-mails to Kiwi Farms.
On 7 August, the Man in the Pickle Suit obtained screencaps from "Night Star" of her supposed private conversations with Chris (i.e. Chris talking to himself),[9] which Night Star gave as proof of being a different person. Later that day, Chris and Night Star both reasserted that they were not the same person. In an additional attempt to prove that Night Star wasn't him, Chris gave the person allegedly behind the account a fake biography. Details include "Night Star" having a sister named Gloria, growing up in Richmond, and earning a degree in "psychological arts" at the University of Virginia before getting a job at McDonald's (presumably due to earning a useless degree in a field that doesn't exist).
Later, on 9 August, Chris claimed explained that "Night Star", whose "real" fist name he revealed to be Emily (not to be confused with the troll Emily), had not tweeted for the last few days because she had been scared off of Twitter by people claiming she was Chris. He blamed the trolls for ruining their supposed friendship and claimed he scared her away when he went to the McDonald's at which she worked. The 9 August tweets showed the extent of Chris's dedication to making his sockpuppet seem real, but also an uncharacteristic self-awareness on Chris's part that he is so socially inept that he even frightens fictional women.
Chris spills the beans
On 15 August, 2017, after leaving BronyCon, Chris revealed that the Night Star account was made by him in order to continue contact with DoopieDoOver and various My Little Pony voice actors who had blocked him, as well as to white-knight himself on Twitter. He made an apology letter explaining that he felt guilty for making the account after watching the MLP episode "Fame and Misfortune".

When questioned by Twitter users regarding his dubious masquerade, Chris responded, saying:
| The style in the Night Star piece in the avatar and banner; I made those too, with help from references online to assemble in photoshop. 😊 |
As an apology to Doopie for once again being a massive creep, Chris shared with her a drawing of an OC he made called "Bubble Gummy". An unnamed OC was also tweeted to MLP voice actor Tabitha St. Germain, who had blocked Chris's main account as well. Both images were captioned:
| An apology piece for you, dear. |
The gambit failed, as both Doopie and Tabitha promptly blocked his Night Star account.
In the comic
In August 2017, Chris uploaded two images to Twitter showing a revised cover of Sonichu 0, in which his self-insert was replaced by Night Star. The infamous cover dialogue was changed to "I will! Thank you, mother!"
Given Chris's ego and increasing obsession with My Little Pony, it is likely that the character will make future appearances in the comics.
Art
Chris has created several pieces of art featuring Night Star. He claims to have experimented with Photoshop software to create some of his gallery[10]:
With Pinkie Pie (and VA counterpart Andrea Libman)
Banner used on sockpuppet Twitter account.
With Sugar Darling and Gallop Crush
BronyCon Tributes
Reinvigorated by the events of BronyCon, Chris took to social media and posted art of his character mingling with the ponysonas of the panel guests:
- Night Star & Wishing Wasp.jpg
With Wishing Wisp (aka Claire Corlett)
With the Cutie Mark Crusaders (aka Michelle Creber, Claire Corlett and Madeleine Peters)
With Starlight Glimmer (aka Kelly Sheridan)
Fan art
As a result of Chris' sharing of fan art on his Twitter, other fans sought to present TRUE and HONEST interpretations of Miss Night Star:
