Description:
Darius was born in a hospital in Sydney, Australia. He was born with two diamond shapes on his chest and forehead, thus getting the nickname 'Diamond'. His parents also consider him the jewel of their life. But they chose the name Darius for him. Once a year old, he and his parents moved to America near the coast.
For a long time, Darius was a fat little horse and didn't like to do much, which wasn't pleasing to his parents. He would even sneak snacks into his room to eat at night, until he got caught.
He often was getting picked on by other anthros in school because of his weight and accent. But he still had friends who loved to play games with him. But due to Darius's weight he couldn't play for very long. But things began to change once he got into middle school. His friends would participate in sports, but he couldn't due to his weight. He felt left out, and so he finally decided to do something about it. He decided to stop being a fat and lazy pony, and decided to get into shape by high school so he too can participate in sports. It wasn't an easy adjustment, but his parents supported him all the way. His mother cooked healthy meals and his father helped him workout. Within a year he began to feel healthier and stronger. By the time he entered high school, he lost all of his fat and began to see muscle gradually building up in his body. And without his fat cheeks and chin, he became quite a handsome horse. Many anthros took notice of him, even his parents were surprised. Working out also helped him do better in school and he received passing grades in all of his classes. He also participated in basketball, baseball (he played shortstop), football (he played quarterback), and swimming (girls loved seeing him in a speedo). He was also elected Homecoming King his senior year and elected 'Most Likely To Be Featured On The Cover Of A Sports Magazine' (he has a few times). He graduated 5th in his class.
After high school, he moved out of the house (only 40 miles away from home) to work on a ranch and go to school to become an instructor of physical health and nutrition. He still currently works for a ranch, which he loves. The labor helps him stay active and keep his muscles firm and strong. Back in high school, he came to dislike wearing shirts because his body would get so hot. But he wore them there due to the school dress code, and his parents didn't really like him walking around the house without a shirt all the time. But now on the ranch, he can be shirtless all the time. Once off work, he loves to stay active in public by going for runs on the beach, playing friendly sport games with friends, or hangout with them. In his spare time too, he also trains to participate in the Anthro Ninja Warrior competition at some point in time.
Overall, Darius is a very cheerful horse who lives life. Some anthros even believe he might have ADHD, but he's completely normal. He is handsome with strong and sexy muscles, but he doesn't let that go to his head. Darius is one horse to never turn away.
