In the land of Equestria south of the bustling aristocratic metropolis of Canterlot sits a quaint little town of Ponyville. Although tiny in size it is rich in spirit and vigor. During the day, young fillies and colts play and go to the local schoolhouse to learn while the older ponies shop and run errands as they go about their daily routine. Largely free to pursue their lives as they see fit, the denizens of Ponyville live in a largely democratic society where matters of larger importance are handled by the local Mayor Mare whose bright smile, and cheerful demeanor always reassures the populace that despite the occasional dark entity or god of chaos, they can count on her to keep everything running smoothly.
Many cheerful faces can be found around the town from Cheerilee the local school teacher who teaches the bright future minds of pony-kind to young Aloe and Lotus, the twin sisters who run a rather high-class spa that attracts customers as far as Manehattan and possibly beyond. Pretty much everypony is acquainted with one another in someway or another, however two ponies stand out as rather unique pair. Living together in a house just south of Sugarcube Corner, these two mares are known to be the closest of friends despite being polar opposites. Ponies who have spoken with them will concur that they are inseparable and whether you are hanging around one or both of them, the visit will be one to remember. How they became so close, none know... as their past is shrouded in mystery... though one thing is for certain, they were like family.
