Ugh, Parents

Zecora: Daughter, though you relish your beauty and wealth, you still have to learn to take pride in yourself.

Alto Stratus: *screaming internally*

---

Alto loves Zecora. She really does. Zecora's her mother, after all, and Alto makes it a point to respect all three of her parents. Zecora is wise, and intelligent, and the most mystical potion maker in all of Equestria! But... well... to put it politely, she's... she's dorky, and cheesy, and rhymes all the time oh my god stop how many times do I have to tell you that I'm not letting Qris take me on a "spirit quest"?!

Y'know in all the times I've drawn her I haven't thought much about Alto Stratus' height.
...
She takes after Celestia.

For a refresher, Alto Stratus is the daughter of Celestia, Zecora, and Discord, but Celestia and Zecora's biological child
