Diamond Hues

Diamond Hues is a female unicorn. She has a white coat, sky-blue mane and tail, and violet eyes. Her cutie mark is a pale blue classic cut diamond surrounded by magic sparks.

Background

Diamond Hues originates from the Hues Noble House, a family of minor nobility in Sparkle City.

Many members of the Hues family have historically had a distinct taste for adventure in their early adult lives, and Diamond Hues was no exception. She discovered this inclination while studying generalist magic and thaumo-archaeology at Radiance Magic College, venturing farther and farther into the field over the course of her under-graduate and graduate degree pursuits to explore and document pre-catastrophic sites and artifacts. Although an ethical grey area for an archaeologist, she sometimes took the opportunity her exotic destinations afforded her for personal "off-the-books" treasure hunting on the side, though she was careful and scrupulous to properly catalog and turn over any items that offered the possibility of restoring significant pieces of beneficial magical knowledge to ponykind.

During most of her college years, she was regarded as a very high achiever academically and magically, but distant and bookish (another long-standing Hues family tendency). After completing her studies, however, she made frequent long journeys to explore various destinations on the Isle of Yore. In the process, she fell in and out with various groups of traveling companions and made numerous friends, which helped to loosen her previously stiff attitude and broaden her social horizons and comfort level.

Near the end of one of these journeys, she parted ways with her companions in the Pony Republic. Although she intended to lodge in one of the towns until she could find safe passage toward Sparkle City with a caravan or other large group, she happened to meet an aristocratic family while passing through their lands who offered her hospitality in their manor as fellow minor nobility. One member of this family, a young and handsome unicorn stallion named Shining Facets, quickly became friends with her. She took notice of his fascination with her travels, his initiative and thirst to learn and satisfy his own curiosity despite most of his family's disdain for higher education, and his willingness to see the merits of her family's ideas about eugenic selection. Her interest was piqued, so acting on a sudden hunch, she took the opportunity to research his family, pedigree, and high magicality.

Realizing that an uncommonly ideal opportunity was in front of her, Diamond Hues decided to take the forward approach and ask for his help in becoming pregnant, saying she wanted to return home from this journey carrying the greatest treasure of all: a foal. Shining Facets agreed, and also decided to accompany her to Sparkle City to pursue a long-term romance, to which Diamond Hues readily assented. By the time they reached Sparkle City, Diamond Hues had her wish and was pregnant with the couple's first child, Emerald Hues. Shining Facets remained in Sparkle City permanently to help start their new family and be a part of his foal's life. Diamond Hues soon married him after a period of courtship just long enough to satisfy appearances among the nobility. They have remained happily married and had three foals together in total, all of them very strongly magical.
