## Daily life

Diamond Hill, with a heart tethered to the past, finds purpose in Ponyville's town hall where she diligently tends to the archives. Her passion for preserving history ignited unexpectedly when she encountered the ghost of her ancestor, Soft Wings, in a haunted house. Inspired by Soft Wings' hard life, Diamond Hill vowed to safeguard the town's history for future generations.

In her moments of reprieve, Diamond Hill shares hearty laughter and joyful banter with her humorist husband, Sunshine Flare.

Together, with their friend Moonshadow, they create a tapestry that intertwines the threads of the past with the vibrant hues of the present, fostering a rich legacy for Ponyville.

## Early life

Diamond Hill was born to parents who defied the conventional boundaries of species. Her mother, Lush Sky, a gentle unicorn, and her father, Zebrito, a spirited zebra, came together in a rare union. Growing up, Diamond Hill was always seen with a smile on her face, a testament to the joy she found in life and in the diversity of her lineage.

From her mother, Lush Sky, Diamond Hill inherited curiosity. She had a thirst for knowledge and a deep desire to explore the world around her. It was this curiosity that eventually led her to a profound discovery about her family's origins. As she delved into her family history, she uncovered the poignant story of her great-grandfather, Willful Ground, who had endured a painful childhood. Learning of his struggles and the love he struggled to receive tugged at her heartstrings.

Although Willful Ground had passed away 2 years before Diamond Hill's birth, she carried his memory in her heart. She felt a deep empathy for his pain and decided to honor his legacy by channeling her own compassion and love into the world. Inspired by his profound connection with nature, Diamond Hill followed in his footsteps, dedicating herself to preserving the beauty and wonder of the natural world. In doing so, she not only paid tribute to her great-grandfather but also forged a path uniquely her own.

## The haunted house

When she turned 20, Diamond Hill found herself settling into a cozy house in Ponyville, embracing a sense of tranquility in her life. However, her peaceful existence took an unexpected turn. She heard eerie noises that led her to a chance encounter with Moonshadow, a cheerful batpony who seemed to share a connection with Diamond Hill's family tree. After some heartwarming conversations, they soon discovered that they were indeed close relatives, united by their family ties.

As their friendship deepened, Diamond Hill learned about an abandoned house near the forest that had garnered a reputation for being abandoned and terrifying to the local ponies. Intrigued, she decided to investigate, only to uncover the story of a mare who had lived a life of loneliness and frustration within those walls. One fateful evening, Diamond Hill and Moonshadow ventured to the decrepit house, where they encountered a scene of desolation and brokenness. Diamond Hill entered, confronting the eerie ambiance and discovering a menacing note that hinted at a sinister presence lurking within.

In the nights that followed, a darkness seemed to descend upon Moonshadow's thoughts, leading to a disturbing incident where she attempted to bite Diamond Hill during their time together. Troubled by this turn of events, Diamond Hill also experienced nightmarish thoughts during her sleep.

Driven by a determination to unravel the mysteries surrounding the abandoned house, Diamond Hill took a risky step. She acquired a spell to summon the spirits of the deceased, an action fraught with peril. Returning to the house with Moonshadow, they uncovered a collection of old pictures, one of which revealed the mare's identity. To her shock, Diamond Hill realized that this mare was none other than Soft Wings, her great-grandfather's cruel mother, a figure she had heard stories about.

Diamond Hill bravely summoned the spirit of Soft Wings, who initially felt nervous and angry. Diamond Hill revealed her lineage and listened as Soft Wings explained her desire for understanding, because of her possessiveness in life. With great sadness, Soft Wings acknowledged the hopelessness of her situation now that she's passed away. Touched by empathy, Diamond Hill shed tears and extended compassion, leading Soft Wings to disappear, overwhelmed by shame but also reassured by Diamond Hill's kindness. Moonshadow was surprised, but Diamond Hill felt a deep sense of fulfillment for offering solace to the troubled mare, recognizing the goodness that lay hidden beneath her pain.

## Late life

In her later years, Diamond Hill's profound encounter with Soft Wings served as a catalyst for her spiritual growth and a deepening of her innate kindness and empathy. She eventually met a fun pegasus stallion named Sunshine Flare and fell in love with him. She also had two daughters with him, Sunny Dancer and Electrikata. As she continued to gracefully age, she became a cherished and revered figure in Ponyville, celebrated for her wisdom and her unwavering commitment. She also kept her friendship with Moonshadow. Diamond Hill's life was marked by curiosity and a deep passion for understanding the mysteries of the world.

As the years passed, her daughters, Sunny Dancer and Electrikata, inherited her thirst for knowledge and adventure. They both embarked on a journey that would take them into the far reaches of the future, testing the boundaries of time itself. Opaline's threat was coming and the two sisters wanted to travel to the future to be safe, but also to gain some adventure. Diamond watched her beloved daughters, a mix of pride and bittersweet emotion in her eyes, as they prepared for this extraordinary voyage. It was a painful yet beautiful goodbye, knowing that she might never see them again, but also understanding that their pursuit of knowledge was an echo of her own lifelong quest. As they disappeared into the mists of time, Diamond Hill's legacy lived on, etched in the hearts of her adventurous daughters and the countless discoveries that awaited them in the future. Diamond peacefully died at the age of 87.

## Development

Diamond Hill's development started in November of 2022. Originally conceived by Sylvain Barre to expand his OC's family lineage, Diamond Hill's appearance was made for a specific beauty, without the traditional long hair. Her name, chosen with an intriguing quality that mirrored her striking appearance, and her compassionate personality, were both crafted during the same year. It wasn't until September of 2023 that the poignant and transformative story of her encounter with Soft Wings came to life, adding depth and spirituality to her evolving narrative. It's also in this month that her lover and daughters were added.
