History
Life
Platinum was born in the Unicorn Kingdom and was the only known child of King Bullion. Her life was contemporaneous with Starswirl the Bearded, as her assistant, Clover the Clever, was friends with the elder. She was born in the Pre-Equestrian age and served as one of the monarchs for her kingdom during the Long Winter period. As food supplies were growing lower, she attended the Summit of the three tribes to perhaps barter for food and strengthen relations between the kingdoms, but she soon refused to negotiate any deals with her fellow ponies and instead ventured off into the great unknown (roughly the Canterlot Valley region), though made Clover the Clever carry her as she refused to walk more than five minutes.
She eventually came across paradise and founded the settlement of Unicornia, but alas, the land was settled by Commander Hurricane and Chancellor Puddinghead already. As an argument broke out, the winter began to find its way into paradise as well. The founders and their assistants found refuge in the cold and desolate cave where they once again began to draw borders and found kingdoms and began to bicker even more. Platinum and the other rulers began to freeze over, but their assistants were free from such a fate and instead became friends. Eventually, the warm of their love for one another melted the ice around the rulers, and together, the three rulers founded a kingdom together, known as Equestria.
Legacy
As the Founding of Equestria was a play that was performed in towns all across Equestria, the role of Platinum was perhaps played by thousands, if not millions, of ponies over the years. In the Era of Harmony Canterlot production, she was played by Rarity.
Personality
Much of Platinum's true personality has not truly been revealed, but in the play adaptions of her life, she was portrayed as very needy, very selfish and woefully out of touch with her subjects. Like the other urlers, she was a good pony deep down and when she saw the warm of Clover the Clever and the others, she began to soften up.
