Edge Tiller, known also as "Tilly," is an earth pony mare in the radioplay series Terminal Secrets. She is one of the main characters of the fifth episode of the series, AWAKE.
Biography[]
Tilly was born in a small rural community in central Equestria known as Grass Valley.
At a young age, Tilly's mother Maize Flour had a fatal accident in one of their barns. Her father Chisel Plow was left as a widower. Luckily, Tilly also had an older brother who helped take care of her, Silo Hopper.
Tilly would often play with her friend Marzee Tomato, who came from a homestead just up the road, closer to the center of town. Hopper would often get dragged into their antics as well.
When the three were teenagers, Marzee's feelings toward Hopp became more flirtatious. This provided endless amusement for Edge Tiller, who relentlessly teased the pair.
While the feelings were mutual, Hopp did not pursue the relationship to its fullest extent because of the demands of the war. All three of them were stuck working on their respective farms, doing all they could to meet the food quotas set by the Kingdom.
Tilly was the softest heart of the bunch and would often be positioned as the peacemaker whenever Silo's large personality clashed with their father's immovable stubbornness.
Eventually, Tilly would hear that a Stable-Tec stable was being built in Grass Valley and quickly told her family as well as Marzee's. The Tomatoes put in their applications and, after some resistance from her father, Tilly was able to get theirs in too.
They were soon summoned to Stable 10 for a medical evaluation where the trio also received a special vitamin shot.
That day drifted behind them in a haze and Tilly's life would branch several times as she and the others had now become unwitting participants in the Stable 10 experiment.
