The badlands of Equestria is a cruel and harsh region of burning rock and coarse desert. A place where evil creatures and ponies who kill reside, it certainly doesn’t have the most honest beings in Equestria. It certainly is not the place where good oaths are usually upheld between anypony, not even good friends.

But it is here that you, a unicorn colt, a timid dreamer full of ambition to become somepony as great as all the greatest names in history, were born. It was here that you left to go to the inner land of Equestria, where Celestia ruled peacefully and where you would ultimately fail to find your destiny. And, upon your return, it is here where, with the help of your new teacher, the gun slinging hermit stranger named Anonymous, you will receive your true education, make an oath to find your own way to do true good in a land of bad, and become the great figure you always wanted to be.

(This is story is set in the Reversed Gender Roles universe of Equestria, where the women take on the gender roles that men usually have in society and vice versa.)

Taking on the role of Princess Celestia, you try to take care of your wonderful, but stubborn - and very sick - adopted human child, Anonymous.

Not many ponies know this, but Daring Do always leaves her most valuable treasure behind whenever she goes on an adventure. And that treasure is you, Anonymous, her adopted human child. She's never gone for too long anymore though; not with you in her life. Or, at least that's how it was.

Eight long years have passed since she last flew up into the sky and out of your life to go on another adventure; almost half of your whole life. And yes, you did spend a lot of that time worrying, and wondering about where she could be, or what could've happened to her, but you also spent it honing your own adventuring skills. And now you're all grown up, and you're going after her.

With the wisdom of six good friends, determination in your heart, and mom's lucky hat on your head, there's no way that you can lose.
