OC: Princess Harmony Star Owner: Princess HarmonyStar
First off: the design. Well, I'm actually not quite sure on this one. The coat color looks very nice, and I really like the body type you chose for your OC; gives your OC a very pretty look and suits her quite well. But the mane color scheme is what is causing my dilemma. I'm not sure if I like it or don't like it. In some of the pictures you gave, such as the first one, the colors appear to clash. But in others, such as the second one, it looks very nice. So, I guess I like the color scheme that was present in the second picture you gave, and I think that you should most likely use that for the official color scheme. Though I must say this: your OC's mane reminds me of a peanut butter jelly sandwich. Take that as you like.
Next up: the personality. There are plenty of flaws and positive traits, but the way you write the personality gives no relation between some of the traits. Now, these are fine traits, but I have two options if you want to improve the personality. You could either put more depth and info for each of the traits, and have them relate to eachother to fit together like a puzzle. Or, you could take out some of the traits that contradict others, and focus more on the remaining trait. Same with the likes and dislikes. They seem very random right now, and you should make them appear less list-y. Though I find it kind of funny she dislikes stereotypes when she is an alicorn. Not sure if this was done on purpose, but it was very clever.
Lastly, the backstory. Well, I don't really like this backstory for a couple of reasons. First off; the reason she became an alicorn doesn't make sense as passion isn't the only thing that makes an alicorn ruler. Speaking of rulers, I don't really like how she is princess of the earth as it gives her way too much power that seems a bit unfair. Along with her level of power, I don't understand another thing about your OC's backstory. Why would the best friend of your OC turn against your OC just because of her cousin. You say there friendship is as strong as a diamond, but it is quickly ruined by a cousin. That doesn't seem to realistic to me. Lastly, I really don't like how your OC's emotions are connected to the land. It seems like too much power for your OC to have. I recommend giving your OC less power, and perhaps just keep her as a normal non-princess alicorn.
Overall, an OC with a possibly good design, a personality that could be presented better, and a over-powered position in its backstory that could use some editing.
Grade: C-
Thanks for the complement and wishing me good luck!
I'll try my best to let you know if there is anything that could be improved in your review as soon as I get to it.

Let's begin with the design. I love this color scheme. It isn't overly flashy, and the colors go together very well. Also, something I'd like to complement you for not going overboard with accessories. The few accessories look very nice and doesn't clutter up the rest of your OC. I really love the mane clip, and I like how it corresponds to her cutie mark. And, I must say your OC is simply adorable.
I'll continue with the personality next. Very good job here as well. You did use the very common trait of "shy at first, but can be outgoing" (nothing wrong with that as long as you add more), but you added more which distinguishes your OC from others. I like how you incorporated her intelligence in the story, and even added some humorous moments. You did a great job here; you have positive traits, flaws, interests, and added some little touches which all equal up to a great personality. You even added a life wish which is something I like in people's OCs, and it is really something that adds a lot more than some people think.
Lastly, the backstory. You did a very good job here as well. I like what you did with the whole "unicorn in pegasus body" thing, and it is pretty unique. I also like how you never went overboard with this OC, and she seems normal enough. She worked hard to accomplish what she accomplished in a realistic way. I also like how you mention her family, and the fact that none of them died is nice (nothing wrong with orphans; just that it is done a lot in situations where it is unneeded.) A great backstory that serves its purpose well.
Overall, an OC with a great cute design, great unique personality, and a great backstory. A great OC by all of my standards.
Grade: A+
