Starlight once joined a Nightmare Moon Revivalist cult. They took advantage of her angst and socially awkward behavior.

They put her through an intense training regimen and access to illegal spells and potions. She got to be very powerful.

Eventually she parted ways from them, for she felt like the Cult was taking away her independent spirit. So she decided instead to have her own sort of cult with the training she got.

The Cult itself has been shut down for awhile but some members are still remaining to be found.

Is more like Hermes and Dash are not that similar when you get the details of their personalities.

Hermes was the god of cunning, he invented a lyre, was a messenger and could silver tongue his way out, is adventurous but also highly mindful and apparently was a god for merchants.

Rainbow Dash is straighforward, more of a task doer, doesn’t mince her words, always leaps first asks questions later and so far she hasn’t been good as a businessmare.

I headcanon prisons in Equestria are unisex due to the high mare to stallion ratio, it’s not cost effective to build a separate prison for stallions.

@Twi Clown
Or when the Runner from The Fool and the Flying Ship called her “медленная” (“slow”)?

Rainbow Dash felt offended when greek god Hermes called her a “meathead”.

Spur is a matrilineal descendant of Snowdrop.

You have to when you’re used to being the cannon.

The ‘suffering’ Nightmare Moon caused in Luna’s mind is not her physical actions (although, I’m sure she feels guilty about almost killing Celestia), but that her envy deprived Equestria of a dream guardian for 1000 years. Thousands of ponies that could’ve used Luna’s help with their mental health. And she wasn’t there for them. Because of her own envy.

Celestia knows how to handle artillery.

Maud looks up to Limestone the same way Pinkie looks up to Maud.

Limestone always was there for her, helped her with bullies and made her feel proud of liking rocks.

Limestone and Maud both bond over being obsessed over rocks, albeit Maud has a more academic view on them.

Equestria has 5 types of magic disciplines.

Spellcasting: The most common with unicorns. The fastest but requiring some decent concentration. Ideal for practical day-to-day tasks and self-defense. Easy to learn, hard to master. Requires something to be channeled. Arguably the most versatile depending of the user.
Key core: Individual. Self-referential drive and vision.
Example: Discord.

Ritualist: Magic specialized with big changes in huge areas. The slowest to use. Utilizes chants, tributes or specific channelers. Night useless at immediate self-defense. Most useful for summonings.
Key core: Environment. Needs a proper place.
Example: Cozy Glow.

Potion masters and runes: Utilizes alchemy and substances. Require a setup. Potions can be used fast once they’re ready to go. Runes can be thrown and execute spells. Has limited resources. Requires containers and prefabrication.
Key core: Resources. Encourages resourcefulness.
Example: Zecora.

Amulet maker: Contain charms and spells in certain objects. Reliable. Unlike potions the object doesn’t run out. Very specialized however, most amulets and runes can only do fairly specific tasks.
Key core: Specialization. Make exceptional tools.
Example: Since there’s not a clear amulet maker, I’ll say Trixie and Wallflower Blush count as amulet users.

Magitek: Most experimental. Utilizes mundane technology with magical principles. Can create objects and tools with higher strength and skill. Most unorthodox, usually the hardest to master. Creator needs a lot of technical and arcane knowledge.
Key core: Knowledge. Applied knowledge for creation.
Example: Sci-Twi.

(I didn’t use Princess Twilight because it’ll be too obvious as an spellcaster.)

Too bad. He’s now Dragon Lord.

Spike is an apprentice of Twilight. He serves with taking care of her. But the main goal is train him for civil service. Twilight teaches him through experience about how dealings are supposed to go.

Twilight even hopes to see him become Mayor one day.

Spike though wishes he were more of an adventurer than a politician.

Crystal War Timeline: After the deaths of King Sombra, of Dragon Lord Garble the Rash, and of the Storm King, Equestria finally enjoyed peace.

Party Favor, Derpy Hooves, Pinkamina Pie, Maud Pie, and Rainbow Dash were remembered with honor long after they were dead and gone–not least by Princess Lemon Hearts.

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
As a matter of fact…EQG Trixie at least was better to read Sunset during Forgotten Friendship despite the memory loss.

So reading people even with missing data is at least a minimally valuable trait.

@Twi Clown
I would be impressed how someone like Trixie, the one who speaks in the third person, could make a coherent case on my behalf.

@TheQuietMan
Funnily enough I wasn’t even thinking in that crossover. Didn’t even watch it. It was “just because” my headcanon.

@Twi Clown
Won’t believe it till I see it. Sonata probably won that case.

Trixie is a surprisingly good lawyer.

Rarity and Pinkie both like to paint.

Rarity prefers traditional figure drawing. So like historical events, portraits of figures and beautiful buildinfs and ruins.

Pinkie is more abstract. And paints weird playful things almost like Salvador Dali.

Why?

The final showdown against the Legion of Doom was the first step towards Pharynx overcoming his fear of Derpy Hooves.

Dinky wants to become a doctor.

The stratodons in mlp g1 migrate to their home in a cave while colonizing their territory around the smoky dragon land were live far their society began to involve into their own culture many of them tried hard to reproduce their population, bigger packs are being made up , hunting and gathering are part to it, training is given, fighting and war can be fought with a red dragon kind if their opponents are strong enough or not.
