She’s the Medusa of ponies, but with worms instead of snakes.
.
In all seriousness, I’m going to guess she was the Misty before Misty, an earlier incarnation of a minion Opaline manipulated. Also want to point out the horn is G4 style though that could be artist interpretation.
Maybe it is Misty, and Opaline cured her of something.

Again this must be true for G4 comics but we are talking about G5 comics. Even though Discord in season 9 clearly says the name of Tirek’s father as how he was called in G4 comics.
Let’s stop calling a spotting pattern that consists of large patches of white and any other color as ‘vitiligo’. Maybe they are referring to it in a artistic way? Yes, but that is it. It is not really vitiligo. We are talking about fur here, not about skin. And she is just a pony with a different spotting pattern which is not that unusual for an equine.
They even have some names for these spotting patterns in horses: tobiano, overo, frame, splashed white, sabino, tovero, dominant white.

Well ch 4 lines up for when the discord comic arc ends. Considering the toy spoilers from opaline, it would be a bit conflicting since they would be telling her backstory in the show as her actual arc is happening

Meh idk, misty hasnt even been introduced in the comics or seperated from opaline in the show, i highly doubg theyd go straight to that in the comics
Ooh! Pretty pony! One of my fav parts of g5 is their willingness to do my interesting character features, coat markings and locs like this were very rare in fim

She looks too young to be mistys mom, and none of their colors match anyway. The closest thing to connect them is them both being black and the high hair texture
