Cutie Mark: atnezau.deviantart.com/art/His…
Welcome to the Miracleverse! AKA, the Disliked Ships AU, but I don't use this as a platform for hate. While the universe is slightly... twisted, they are all options that could have happened in the main TFIMverse. They're a chance to do things with the... standard ships that people have, and using them in new ways, as well as a platform for interesting characters. I want to do some different things with the designs, so I may note the standard designs I tried to avoid with each design. These designs have been done for... an embarrassing amount of time, so expect a lot of the designs at once, I finally decided to upload them. This gal is from a week or two ago. The reason Darling here doesn't have as complex a bio as most, like Black Forest Roseblood , the reason is that she's going to be one of the tertiary characters, or in other words, she's not as important to the plot, but rather a side character in other ponies stories.
Her design was mainly based on Daring Do's Cutie Mark; her hair is the colors of the compass and her hat and scarf are based on the outer sides. Part of this was also an experiment in how far I could push the style of the show to create ponies who still feel like they would fit in the show, but have more extreme physiques. It's also a slight bit of irony with who her mother is and her lifestyle being different than her parents. I did not intend for the 'fat comic geek' stereotype to come out; her design was started before I settled on her career, it just ended up a coincidence, since I wanted her to continue her family name somehow.
Daughter of Quibble Pants and Daring Do, Darling Do is a bit of an oddball, from being a pegasus of such a large size, it's against the general stereotypes ponies have of certain species, Pegasi are expected to be thin, athletic ponies, coming from their heritage as soldiers, but... well, Darling is a butterball. She's also chosen a profession that pegasi are not commonly known for; artist and writer for the official Daring Do Comics. Unicorns are generally the writers and publishers of book, while her mother broke the mold, pencil or quill art is considered a Unicorn's territory exclusively, even with Pegasi's wings, 'quality' art is considered exclusive to Unicorns. Sure, painting can be done by anypony, but pencilwork requires dexterity only a unicorn can perform.. at least, that's what ponies tend to believe.
Growing up, Darling was never really the athletic type, nor was she interested in her father's career as a critic; she enjoyed watching her mother's adventures and reading about them, but never felt the need to analyze what she knew from birth was a true story. There is no narrative to the Daring Do books to her; they're an autobiography of her awesome mom! Criticizing their realism is criticizing the realism of reality, dad, that's just weird! She also just grew up to be a giant butterball, and while her mother was a bit disappointed that her daughter wasn't going to ever follow in her hoofsteps, but she loves her daughter all the same. Quibble wishes his daughter was a more analytical consumer of media, but she's not. She just enjoys what she reads at face value, not reading for the 'awesomeness' or the intelligence, but because they're good stories.
When she realized her mom was disappointed in her lack of interest in adventuring, Darling decided she wanted to do something to continue the family trade of Daring Do; she used her natural talents at writing and art to create a comic of one of her mom's first adventures, and in the process, constantly asked for details from the source itself; in the end, it was published as the official Daring Do Graphic Novel, and she became the official writer and artist for all of Daring Do's adventures into comic medium. She's praised for her attention to detail and additions to the 'canon' of Daring Do, clarifying the number of arrow holes in Daring's hat, and her intense action sequences, something that many find strange... After all, she could never pull off those moves herself, how does she draw them with such fluidity and accuracy?.. The answer, of course, is that she's seen them in action. Daring would act out her own stories when Darling was a foal, and she picked up on how the action worked, even if she herself would never perform such feats.
She's a famous author in her own right, though obviously she falls under her mother's shadow, that's the career she picked, and she doesn't mind at all. As A.K. Yearling's daughter, officially, she is assumed to be named after A.K's character, not a true family name, but either way, it allows Darling a brand name recognition for her comics, even if they weren't Daring's stories, she publishes 'side-canon' stories, adventures her mother had, but never told the world before. Fans hotly debate whether these are canon or not, and former biggest fan ever and one of the highest respected members of the Daring fandom, Quibble Pants, is considered no longer an authority; of course he would side with his daughter on their canonicity. Plus, they obviously had nods to him in it; so soon after their marriage, suddenly 'Quick Pick' appears in the canon?.. Quick Pick is a very divisive character for his obnoxious nature and 'Mary Sue' qualities; his ability to solve puzzles better than Daring Do is questionable, why should he be the center of the story all of a sudden?
Daring and Quibble obviously met in canon, and soon after the Crystal Empire fell, Daring asked, reluctantly, for Quibble's help in solving puzzles. She found him a competent ally, even if his nature was obnoxious and brash, he was indispensable in many a situation. They became permanent partners and soon married, A.K Yearling announcing a marriage to one of her biggest fans came as a complete shock, but Quibble was praised for 'landing the best mare ever' by one of his best friends, and a very prominent Wonderbolt. Quibble is still in contact with Dash after all these years, and Darling always sends over a copy of the newest comics to her godmother for being such a loyal fan.
