Had this idea bouncing in my head over the holiday break and it was too much fun not to draw it.
Quick back-story I threw together:
A short time after the Tree of Harmony regained the Elements of Harmony, it appeared to show a higher state of sentience due to the personalities the previous bearers imprinted on each individual element along with the magic of friendship. No longer content with being rooted in one place in the middle of the Everfree Forest, the tree used the elements to craft itself a new body based on the last living beings who used them, aka the mane 6, and took on the form of a very large and elegant unicorn with a custom crown, similar to twilight's, that now holds all six elements. Going only by the name Harmony, she wanders the deepest parts of the Everfree Forest, trying to make sense of this new body and consciousness while continuing to maintain all that grows in the forest.
Harmony is a kind soul who is the living embodiment of balance. Just being in her presence brings a feeling of calm and safety to all who approach her. She speaks with grace and soft tones, having an ever so subtle echo to her words. She rarely ever raises her voice even when angry unless provoked in dire circumstances.
EDIT:
Since I had some question about her design, I'll say that she's based more off a traditional unicorn with cloven hooves, more fluff, slightly longer tail ect. They're a very beautiful type of unicorn. It's also why I decided against making her an alicorn since I feel the Tree of harmony is far older then alicorns and doing something with more traditional roots felt right.

I think she looks great, and elegant, and I like how the forked horn references back to the fact that she's actually a tree as well as her mane and tail (so don't get me wrong on this next part). Though the elongated form, toed hooves, and larger puffier ears strike me as being more llama-like than pony. I think it'd be really fun to see the tree more sentient, like this, in the show.

It's more along a design choice of a traditional unicorn which is far more elongated with more fluffy bits and cloven hooves. c: Thank you for your comment though. ^^

In that context it totally makes sense... lol, and to think I wrote a 2 and half page article on the different species of unicorn. Guess I just never thought of how Medieval Unicorns would look in the show's style.

Eh, I was mostly marveling at my own shortsightedness. Anyways, thanks for explaining, and great work.

Damn beautiful, but it would be better if she were an alicorn.

Decided against the wings because she comes from a tree which I consider more earthy so I went more traditional unicorn instead to feel more grounded. c:

inside the chest would be a baby alicorn which is the ponified incarnation of the tree who's job is now to guard the tree with the mane six.

Thank you! Had to do some research on the tree itself and it comes in two color
pallets depending on what vector you look up and I liked these colors the best c:

It's funny because the first thought that came into my mind when I saw
The Tree of Harmony was " Huh that's a really cool tree, wonder what it
would look like as a pony" haha.

This would mean that Harmony Is the most powerful being In there universe, Discord being a close 2nd. I'm guessing they wouldn't get along.

Definitely not, I'd imagine they'd rather be far away from each other as possible, but you never know with Discord being Discord lol.
