As far back as I can remember, and from what my mother had told me, I was born on Hearts and Hooves Day. A present from my late father, Indigo Medley, who sadly passed away before I was born. It broke my mother's heart when he passed away, but it healed when she took care of me. Unfortunately for her, I was a pretty sick and weak little foal, things always going wrong with my body. But nevertheless, I soldiered on and fought flu bugs, and lots of other ailments.

Around the time I had turned six, and had just started school in Cloudsdale, since I was a pegasus. For my birthday, that year, I got a present from mom that for the rest of my life, I would always cherish: a stuffed monkey that I had named Peanut. I loved him so much and would always play with him after school, and would talk to him whenever I felt the need to. When I opened the box that he came in. I just felt so happy and full of joy.

"Oh, thank you mommy!" I had cried as I hugged Rosette, my mother. "I..I love him."

"It was my pleasure, my beautiful Rose Petal..." she replied embracing me. Rose Petal was my pet name from mom. The back-story I was told was that, when my parents first met, my father was said to have been quite the romantic, so every date or so, because he loved my mother so much, he would spend quite the amount of money to buy flowers for her, and would serenade her with his fine singing and piano playing, and her favorite flowers were roses.

Eventually, they did get married after about two and a half years of dating. It was after mom was four and a half months pregnant with me, that she found my father dead at home. He had apparently fought an intruder, who was my mother's abusive ex colt-friend; Steel Flame, trying to get her back so he could hurt her some more. But my father, as brave and courageous as he was, was overpowered by the unicorn and was suffocated by a magic spell, and suffered numerous cuts and scrapes to his body and was heavily beaten. Steel Flame got away with it, but as he ran from the house that my parents were living in, some pony who had witnessed the crime kept a mental note of it and reported it to the police. When my mother got home and saw my father, breathing within half an inch of his life. The medics were quick to arrive after the whistle blower called for them.

"Rosette...I'lll...always..love..you.." My father said as he breathed his last and died.

My mother then just sat down on the sofa and bawled her eyes out. The love of her life, gone, just like that. And then for the rest of mom's pregnancy with me, she was a depressed mare, who remained focus and carried on raising the result of the love that she and my father shared from their entire relationship. So when the time came for my mother to give birth to me, the only ponies by her side were her older sister, Gleaming Diamond who was always travelling Equestria as she was geologist, she lived in Manehatten and came to Ponyville when my mother was in labor with me. About a month after I was born, Gleaming Diamond went back home to Manehatten, and then onward to traveling the different caverns and caves of Equestria.
