Body type: Tall and elegant
Species: unicorn
Special talent: Archaeology and Taxidermy

Countless nights of screaming, arguing, and self hatred. It was all worth it to Rarity.
After the grand galloping gala she had for a while forgotten the existence of the ever-famous, and horrendously rich, Duke Blueblood. Though many years later after taking up a business opportunity in Canterlot, they cross paths again as he picks up a funeral garment for his late cousin's farewell gathering. After making small talk for a while, Rarity invites Blueblood over to take his measurements and chat about the Noble life over tea. The visits become increasingly frequent as time goes on and Rarity rekindles her once buried affection for the upperclassman, and she eventually has the garb to ask him out on a date, of which he (to her surprise) agreed to. Rarity found herself falling in love as they dated for about a year, while Blueblood found himself somewhat enjoying the company of this "common wench".
2 years pass as they date, and they eventually agree to marry. Rarity was still head over heels for Blueblood's charm and knowledge of precious gems, though the feeling was not as mutual as she had expected. The feeling had faded for him about a year after they dated, but he remained with her for the glorious shine it put on his name, as well as the possibility of an heir.
Blueblood is what is known as a "truenicorn," a unicorn that has kept 100% unicorn blood throughout generations to leave them with signature cloven hooves, leonine tails, luscious beards, and tall slim bodies. Both of Rarity's parents were crossbred with earth ponies, but Blueblood figured that since unicism was a dominant trait in her family, they'd be fine, and he was right. Well, almost.
After being married for a year Rarity announced that she was pregnant, and 9 months later came Novella Ottava "Blueblood", finally a suitable heir to the royal name.
Or perhaps not.
Blueblood was devastated to find out that not only was his heir hideously undersized, she was blind
This was the straw that broke the camel's back.
While still in the hospital, Blueblood coldly announces that his feelings for rarity had been a farce for years, and that he was absolutely disgusted that her "Earth pony blood" has ruined his chance at a proper child.
Rarity kicked him out of her room, and eventually the hospital, screaming.
Tired, alone, and with a handicapped baby, Rarity got horribly depressed. That was until another handicapped pony from the past lended a helping hand. Commander Tempest shadow, after being summoned by princess twilight, assists rarity to raise Novella while she works her way through her depression.
Novella grows up happier than most fillies who could see would, she loved fun sensory activities that Rarity would set up, and learning spells from tempest that would help her to better sense her surroundings (some of which she perfects so well by the time she's an adult, she can go into a full sprint without a single slip, crash, or tumble) and taking time to cuddle up with rarity and eat strawberry ice cream while watching soap operas. Novella discovers her love of archaeology through going gem searching with her mother, and much like her mom's incredibly rare "gem searching" magic, she can hunt down fossils faster than any other pony archaeologist to date. And her later dabbling in taxidermy became an inspiration across Equestria with her unique use of precious gems and flowers combined with skullwork. She's closest with her equally lanky best friend Calzone cheese pie, who knows how to make her laugh even if she can't see any of the silly gags he puts on, she also helps him through his first break up. (Curse you, random farmboy number 12!!)
But of course Rarity loves her daughter more than anything else, she would go to war for her, and the feeling is mutual.
Rarity, aside from pinkie pie, is one of the best parents in my universe. She and Novella have an unbelievably strong relationship, singing songs I'm the kitchen, going shopping, and even exploring the darkest caves in Equestria.
Novella doesn't feel like she needs to see to experience all life has to offer.

JEEZ THATS A LOT
If you made it through all that!! Congrats and thank you!! :0
I love how fast the sketch was but then I put all my life's effort into her cutie mark lmao

I really love this backstory, and Novella's design is gorgeous <3 I really love the colors of her mane ;-; Her origin is complex and well thought out. I enjoyed every second of that read! Blueblood's sudden abandonment was entirely in character for him, and I really like how it was foreshadowed a bit earlier as he started to notice he didn't love Rarity as much as she loved him.

I share your headcanon on the Truenicorn idea!! I love that name though, it's super creative I'm glad Novella and Rarity are able to move past their struggles, and Tempest's entrance into their lives has opened my eyes to the greatness that is Rarity x Tempest. I can't wait to see more of this character. This is really nicely fleshed out! <3

WOW! This actually means so much to me omg!! <3 I'm happy that you like her so much! I tried to keep her story from veering into being too edgy, so I'm glad that it keeps the realism that I was trying to keep going! Best know that Blueblood is going to get his rightful boot once Novella is full n grown, especially once Tempest gets her hooves on him.

I actually read a couple of your stories yesterday and ngl the story with Granny and pear butter made me tear up ;w; keep up the stunning work yourself!
