Description

Edit// Not much of an update visual wise but her story has some changes and her relatives. :3

It's been a while since I've posted a pony and I have to admit I've been fretting about it but here's the lovely custom I bought from StargazerSammie .

I also love that she's very different from the other gem ponies so far. I hope to get another one eventually maybe of a white opal. But for now I need to work on Stargazer Lily's sister Pitaya Sunrise. XD

Some of the details in her bio are vague since I don't know the name of the gem pony city but I filled in what I could.

Personal History:  Sunset Opal was born to Crystal Key and her father, Obsidian Sword in a Gempony city along the shore a long time ago. She lived amongst her fellow Gem Ponies for years until she discovered her talent for astromancy and soon became a favorite person for the ponies to come to for help. Eventually Opal met an ambassador from Canterlot who came to the city seeking a meeting with the queen on the behalf of the Equestrian Empire. Opal soon desired to travel with her new friend leaving her home behind. When they eventually parted ways Opal settled into a quiet area where a sheltered cavern and cove met a road. She has made a name for herself by giving readings to the travelers who come to see her on their way through the land. She occasionally makes trips home to see her family but prefers the outside world.

What a pretty color palette! She reminds me of the opposite of my pony Frostbite. The warms and the cools, you know?

I always loved it when people used sunrises and sunsets in their pony designs, even if it is a bit off-canon.

I won't use it to copy your pony... ><'

She still looks totally amazing <3 And I don't know why you worried about changing her type, you bought her after all and if you wanna make her a unicorn, thats fine with me As long as you're happy with it c:

And on the Gem Pony cities (I've started calling them clusters), I know there are definitely three, one in a cove/cave by the sea, one underneath the desert sands on a subterrean lake and one near all the action (ponyville/canterlot). The sea city is called Pelagia led by a Pirate Queen named Black Pearl, the desert city is Aluvia and is led by the Queen I haven't named yet (thinking about going with the theme of Peacock Topaz though) and the main city is called Lustria and is led by Diamond Dust. I'm thinking there may be a fourth called Embros set in the side of a dormant volcano. But thats just me thinking out loud.

You can make up a random minor city if you want XD Those can exist, they're the start of a new Cluster and usually operate under the rule of whichever Queen is nearest until they grow big enough to need their own Queen to rule them.

And on a side note, since it'll hit you eventually that all the Gem Pony Cities are underground, YES, you can totally be a stargazing/reading pony in an underground city. The caves are never deep enough underground that natural light can't reach the inhabitants within. The seaside city is a bit like this Jaw City and most caves would have holes like this Hidden Garden in their ceilings (not all holes are natural, most times they have to be made) so the stars can be seen from them c:

I'm sorry for the exposition speech XD I couldn't help myself

theRainbowOverlord In reply to StarForgedLight [2014-12-13 01:02:53 +0000 UTC]

;A; I just get some issues with people when I make alicorns so that's my reasoning. But I'm glad you like her in her final look.

Yeah, I was thinking that but my ponies kinda have to do their own thing so I would have a gem pony who enjoys hanging out above ground quite a bit. XD Hmm, I'm torn between making a minor city or having her be from Pelagia now. I'm guessing Lustria is closest to Canterlot?

StarForgedLight In reply to theRainbowOverlord [2014-12-13 01:43:46 +0000 UTC]

Meh they're just jealous of your pretty designs And trust me, I'd love Sunset no matter what you did XD She's got such a pretty combination of colors. I haven't been branching out yet with the colors since I'm trying to get the idea of gem ponies rooted but she makes me want to go crazy with colors XD

Your Gem Pony can go and do what she pleases, she's not trapped underground (I would never do that to my gem ponies, I love them too much). The cities are all underground because I was inspired by the huge crystal caves like the one down in Mexico, but there are nomadic gem ponies who aren't tied down to one city and travel the world, taking in the sights and enjoying the people.

Yush, Lustria would be the closest to Canterlot according to my headcanon.

I vote Pelagia because that one is totally my favorite of the three cities XD I love the idea of the Pirate Queen Black Pearl, her hubby Iron Hook and the cove city on the sea

theRainbowOverlord In reply to StarForgedLight [2014-12-13 03:12:32 +0000 UTC]

That might be it! XD I'm glad to hear it. And yes! Her colors are my favorite part of her design. I'm sure you will come up with some more complex combos as you keep making more ponies. :3

Woo! I have a feeling she'll be staying put in her private little cove for now. But I think I have to agree that she'll be from Pelagia I could see her mom being a white opal and her dad something like obsidian.

StarForgedLight In reply to theRainbowOverlord [2014-12-13 03:26:05 +0000 UTC]

I'm going to begin work on my Dragonfire Opal girl soon. I've got the perfect Dragon's Breath opal to inspire her design c: She'll be my first real attempt at more complex color mixes on my own rather than as a custom.

Her momma sounds like she'd be very pretty c: But I might be biased as opals are my birthstone XD

theRainbowOverlord In reply to StarForgedLight [2014-12-13 05:41:40 +0000 UTC]

Woo! I can't wait to see her!

I hope so, I'll have buy another custom from you at some point for her. I don't blame you, I'm usually more partial to emeralds myself. XD

StarForgedLight In reply to theRainbowOverlord [2014-12-13 05:52:09 +0000 UTC]

Since I'm dying to show her off even though she's not done yet, you can expect a note in a few moments with her WIP for a sneak peek

Well the customs are still open and they probably won't close for a while unless something important comes up so when you feel like it, just ask c:

theRainbowOverlord In reply to StarForgedLight [2014-12-13 06:05:22 +0000 UTC]

Woo! I'll go check her out.

I'll have to take you up on it, I'm just trying to make sure I have enough points to buy a PM with my points first. XD

StarForgedLight In reply to theRainbowOverlord [2014-12-13 06:08:14 +0000 UTC]

The points I get from you for the custom will eventually make their way back to you when I inevitably start commissioning you when you open them again XD

Or we could just do an equal point commission trade? XD
