For the most part, she stayed out of trouble and payed attention in class.

It could be argued that up until Ponyville Confidential, nearly all of Diamond's antics were directly linked to her feud with Apple Bloom. As she would later go on to say: "No matter what be the cost of the path I take, whatever I have to do to win in the end." Diamond knew what it took to get readership up, and she was willing to do it despite potential consequences. She understands what ponies want to read and, despite the paper's downward spiral into a trashy rumor mill, readership skyrockets. Another interesting tidbit is that Diamond Tiara actually does a good job as editor-in-chief. There is some interesting, and probably unintentional, foreshadowing here when Scootaloo says "We can take a little bit of Diamond Tiara for a lifetime of cutie marks," in reference to having to deal with Diamond if they want to try to earn a reporter's cutie mark.
#DIAMOND DAZZLE TIARA GETTING BLOWN UP FREE#
It isn't until after Apple Bloom once again decides to take a shot at her by pointing out how her father's business wouldn't exist without Granny that she loses her temper and calls Granny a kooky old lady.ĭiamond appears briefly in Hearts and Hooves Day, showing delight at playing 'pin the heart on the pony.' Her next appearance is in Ponyville Confidential, where she becomes editor-in-chief of the Foal Free Press. Diamond's the only pony in class paying attention with her father, Filthy Rich, gives a lecture on retail, and is shocked into silence when Granny Smith gives her speech. She then got in Diamond's face and said, "Got that, Diamond Tiara?" She actually hurls more direct insults than Diamond in this episode.įamily Appreciation Day sees Diamond taking the chance to enjoy seeing Apple Bloom's discomfort when she explains how embarrassing Granny Smith's antics are. She gets annoyed when Apple Bloom takes a chance to mock her by saying "Keep practicing and you might get half as good as me." In fact, Apple Bloom decided to take it a step further by explaining that her next loopty hoop moves were advanced and not for beginners. In The Cutie Pox, Diamond was back to her old ways, attempting to downplay Apple Bloom's loopty hoop 'cutie mark' as being lame. It's an interesting glimpse at her behavior when she isn't specifically tormenting anypony. Sure, she does eventually laugh when the Crusaders are punished, but so does the rest of the class. When the Cutie Mark Crusaders begin fighting over what Discord's statue stands for, Diamond actually looks disgusted not at the CMC themselves, but at the fact that they could behave in such a manner. Could this mean that Diamond is actually a good student? Maybe, but what follows is even more shocking. Not only does Diamond stay near her teacher, but she is focused and attentive to everything Cheerilee says. She and Silver Spoon are walking at the head of the class with Cheerilee, when you might imagine a bully to walk near the end of the line as far away from the teacher as possible. What's interesting here is both her location relative to the other ponies, and her actions. In the opening scene she is walking with the rest of the class on a field trip. Season two opened with The Return of Harmony: Part 1, which was also the return of Diamond Tiara. One might imagine that they would be openly annoyed at missing out on any awards when the Cutie Mark Crusaders earned one, but they actually just calmly stand there and watch. It is unknown what their performance was, but Diamond and Silver did not earn any awards. In The Show Stoppers, she and Silver Spoon perform together in the school talent show against the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Twist, Snips and Snails, and Peachy Pie and Sunny Daze. Diamond and Silver were the first ones to specifically target colts and fillies.ĭiamond's next appearance wasn't quite so clear-cut, however.

We had seen antagonists before Call of the Cutie, but they had all targeted either adult ponies, or Ponyville in general. Season one's Call of the Cutie would be her first appearance and speaking role, and it didn't take long for her and her friend Silver Spoon to establish themselves as pests by bragging about their cutie marks and inviting Twist and Apple Bloom to Diamond's cute-ceañera just so they could make fun of the two if they happened to show up. No, Diamond Tiara was created with a very clear purpose in mind: she was to be the mean girl right from the get-go. She also wasn't meant to just look good in the background. Random Fact: Diamond Tiara earned her cutie mark mere days before Twist earned hers.ĭiamond Tiara, unlike most of the ponies to be featured to this point, was not in the show since the very beginning. Appearances: 18 Episodes, Equestria Girls, Rainbow Rocks, Friendship Games
