Day 11 of OC pride month

Dial-Up! Dial was a princess NPC in a video game who after her maker gave a copy of the game to a friend to test. Dial feel in love with the player and through the power of magic and love or whatever nonesense i can make up. Dial-up became a real pony. Now she lives with the player in hiding from being found out as a living computer character and mostly plays housewife for the mare having a huge crush. Dial is a nonbinary lesbian!
