I came up with a theory on why Tempest Shadow is so againt Twilight (and Canterlot) and why she has a broken horn and scar.

It starts when she was a filly, during a time which the monarch of Equestria began purging minority groups like the griffons, changelings and breezies, as well opponents, being powered by fear of Nightmare Moon and thinking she was sending her supporters/loyalists down to Equestria. Tempest Shadow was a very nice pony before, she believed in freedom for all and had heavily opposed the monarchy. She peacefully tried to oppose it along with her friend, Shady Nightingale, when suddenly the purges began. They began crashing through towns and locking up opponents, and putting curfews on places they believed were not trustworthy. Despite her peaceful and respectful protsting, Tempest gets attacked. Not only do they destroy her horn, but her mother who she was super close with and her best friend were both killed (off-screen of course, they were just carried off but it's a bit implied later on) by the guards. Her town also gets attacked and destroyed, being believed it was Nightmare Moon's supporters' base. After all the devastation, Tempest wakes up and sees all her loved ones gone or hurt. She gets so upset about this, her lovely heart is crushed into pieces and a vengeful hate, caused by her loved ones gone and Celestia's army deliberately and violently crushing opposition, she then turns to evil. She goes into hiding and then departs Equestria, looking for better life. After a few years of wandering about, she arrives at the Land of the Ogripps, where she meets a young Storm King, at the time known as the Thunderous Prince. They hit it off well and after slowly getting along more and more, Tempest admits why she came. The prince is appalled by her reason and then vows to destroy all empires, which Tempest believes that all empires are vicious beasts. This then leads to a few months away where the pre-quel begins.
