What is New Dawn of Harmony?

Deep within the forests of Sancta Folia, a peaceful herd of deer devotes their lives to protecting and worshipping a sacred bell, the source of their magic and the force that has safeguarded their home for generations. But when a mysterious power corrupts the bell and drains its magic, a small group of young deer are forced to awaken their newfound abilities without the guidance of their elders, who have fallen under a strange and unsettling influence.As hope begins to fade, an unlikely heroine named Apricity must rise to the challenge, leading her friends on a journey to save their herd, restore the sacred magic of Sancta Folia, and protect the balance of the world itself.

Hello!

Lovely | She / Her

Hello! My name is Lovely Promise, but you can just call me Lovely.I’m a 29 year old artist from Oregon who’s very passionate about My Little Pony. I’ve been a fan of the series since 2013, and through out the years, the MLP community has felt like a second home.Over time, I’ve dedicated myself to learning how to capture the magic of the G4 style, doing my best to honor the look and feel that made so many of us fall in love with it in the first place. Creating MLP art isn’t just a hobby for me, it’s something that’s connected me with amazing people, helped me grow as an artist, and brought so much joy to my life.Bellow are a few of my Sonas!

Lovely Promise

My Little Pony

Lovely Promise is the middle child of Queen Cadance and Shining Armor, and a princess of the Crystal Empire. Though born into royalty, she is naturally introverted and finds peace in quiet moments, often retreating into books or diving into deep studies, much like her Aunt Twilight.She is deeply empathetic, with a strong desire to truly understand others and build meaningful connections through emotional safety and validation. Lovely believes that everyone has the potential to grow and change, no matter where they come from.Her cutie mark reflects this personal vow: a promise to protect those she cares about, emotionally and physically, with unwavering compassion and strength.

Why do i look like flurry heart?

Lovely was inspired by Flurry Heart, but she’s her own character with her own story. I wanted to take some of the things I loved most. Lovely is more of a "what if" version of her. She’s not meant to be Flurry Heart, she’s her own pony, but the resemblance is a nod to where her roots came from. 💖

Lovely Deer

New Dawn of Harmony

This version of Lovely is from my original series, New Dawn of Harmony! She is a peryton, a mythical creature with the features of both a deer and a bird, and exists as a fairytale figure within the world. Her story has been passed down through generations, making her a symbol of mystery and wonder.

Lovely Tourmaline

Gemsona

Lovely Tourmaline is my Gemsona from Steven Universe Horizons, an alternate universe I made for the series!Pink Pearl was one of several Pearls created alongside Volleyball as potential gifts for Pink Diamond. When Volleyball was chosen, Pink Pearl was instead assigned to Rhodochrosite, a Court Administrator overseeing Earth’s colony. Though never severely mistreated, she was treated more like property than a person and grew deeply afraid of the Crystal Gems. When Pink Diamond was shattered, the colony descended into chaos. During a Crystal Gem attack, a terrified Pink Pearl froze instead of fleeing and was struck down, poofing back into her gem.Pink Sapphire was created alongside two other Sapphires as an experiment by Blue Diamond and intended as a gift for Pink. One became a Padparadscha, while the third did not survive. Her future vision was imperfect, allowing her only to make rough predictions. After failing to foresee Pink Diamond’s shattering, she and Padparadscha were sentenced to be shattered. Crystal Gems attacked their transport, causing it to crash on Earth. While hiding from the conflict, Pink Sapphire discovered an intact Pink Pearl gem among shattered Gems and protected it until Pearl eventually reformed.Pink Pearl and Pink Sapphire struggled to understand each other. Pink Sapphire constantly worried about the future, while Pink Pearl acted without thinking ahead. They argued often, but stayed together because they were all each other had.As the Crystal Gems drew closer to discovering them, their fear and desperation pushed them to fuse as a means of survival. Despite barely understanding each other, together they felt stronger and safer than they ever had apart.When the Crystal Gems eventually found them, they remained fused out of fear. But after meeting Garnet and realizing that fusion could be more than survival, they slowly began to understand what they had become. What started as a way to protect themselves became someone they both loved being, and from then on, they chose never to separate.

Lovely VT

Fursona

LovelyVT is the furry version of me, originally created for my Twitch streaming era before I fully moved into more pony-centric content.She’s a cheerful little corgi with a love for roses, blending softness, energy, and charm into one character. She represents my playful side, the part of me that enjoys connecting with others, being expressive, and having fun in creative spaces. Even though I don’t use her as often now, she’s still an important piece of my online identity and a character I’m really fond of.

My Little Pony AU

My My Little Pony AU, formerly known as New Dawn of Harmony, reimagined Twilight Sparkle and her friends as they embarked on entirely new adventures, explored original storylines, and encountered a wide variety of new characters. Created with a more mature audience in mind, the series aimed to explore deeper themes and darker narratives beyond the original show's G rating.Unfortunately, the project was ultimately canceled due to copyright strikes from Hasbro. While the MLP AU is no longer in development, its legacy lives on through its artwork and the entirely original series that has since taken its place under the same name, New Dawn of Harmony.Although this chapter has come to an end, you can still explore the artwork, characters,
and creative history of the original MLP AU right here!
