Backstory: Gem was born a Canterlot pony, but had a developmental delay throughout her life, notably, she wasn’t able to speak and wasn’t fully potty-trained.<br /><br />Her mother was never around and her father would always put her down, and would instead favour her older brother instead.<br /><br />She got her Cutie Mark when she rammed her head into her father’s computer (if you wanna call it a computer) in a tantrum, sending out a pulse of raw information through her head. Through this, she was able to communicate like a telecommunications antenna, and receive information through such. (However, this is a short-range ability, but she was able to sneak into her father’s office on occasion.)<br /><br />Because of her developmental delay, she was never able to understand why she was the way she was, or why her father treated her differently. She was able to figure out why for herself through her newfound information-seeking ability. Once she had the information she needed, she eventually took her father to court when she was 11. (A few years prior, she had began speaking in absolute secrecy, but it was only when she was 12 that she was fully toilet-trained. 0_x )<br /><br />She moved to Ponyville the following year in the hopes of starting a new life. She had moved into a dilapidated barn which she had refurbished, and had lived as the only computer specialist at the time, with her only client who would eventually become her closest friend: Nova.<br /><br />When she was 15, she had saved her only friend from dying, and the two have become lovers ever since. Gem moved out of her now-lonely barnhouse to live with her friend’s home, in which she still lives today.
