They told him this recently, he does want answers, but he sees no issue, his "parents" raised him as their own.

Fears: His troubled dreams, not being able to play his guitar, losing his precious guitar that was given to him by his adoptive mother, apparently he's always had it. Really, his true mother gave it to him to play when he was older.
Overall Persona:
String Dancer was born into a high-class family in Canterlot, learning to use his magic to play the guitar and sing. One day in Canterlot, during a music festival he was separated from his brother, mother and father, a few days of wandering the streets looking for them lead him to his new home, where he was adopted by two unicorns who were unable to have their own, raised as a musician due to him being found with an inscribed guitar from his birth mother, he now wishes to make a name for himself as a musician, the only problem is how shy he is so shy, due to a social anxiety developed throughout school and the events that lead him to be lost, he still carries the emotions he felt when he got lost, which makes him very shy and sometimes withdrawn, once ponies get to know him they find him to be a very happy, bubbly, kind and focused colt.
In terms of personality, he is quite feminine, his adoptive mother took care of him more than his father, who worked a lot of the time, meaning she was his role model, as she was a harpsichord player, so he took after her and his true mother.
He sometimes plays out in the street with his guitar, his magic turning each string a different colour as it is plucked, he plays at night because he feels that less ponies will be looking at him. In truth it only gets him more attention than he wants.
His upper class upbringing clearly shows, both in his voice and his mannerisms, as he is quite into fashion and the fine arts, being a performer himself, he has an appreciation for other singers, as he accompanies his guitar with very soft vocals, he takes a very high vocal range, it has been described as Soprano, but he quite enjoys the work of baritone singers.
He can change the sound of his guitar, using his magic to make it sound like any guitar he wishes to, he likes to make it sound like a traditional (spanish) Guitar or an electric guitar, usually playing soft songs, with quite emotional lyrics
