Dear Fluttershy Breeze,
You are such an amazing pony. You have grown from the extremely introverted pony you were a few years back to the kind, loving, and helpful teacher we all recognize, the one who always gets nominated for Teacher of the Month. You're so great that nopony can compete with the amount of awards you have gotten just for being the caring being we all know.
Your hooves are always open to help ponies. Actually, not just ponies, but all creatures, too. You even created an area for them, Sweet Feather Sanctuary, just to help animals heal in a much more comfortable position. It's clear you care about anycreature who needs help, and even those who don't seem to need help. That includes me. I'll just tell you that I don't want you to feel as if you must help me. I really don't need it, not with the help I've been getting. Besides, you work so hard for everypony, I don't think you should really fret over me.
You, Fluttershy, are one of the kindest ponies I know. I couldn't ask for any more than that. I love you for who you are.
Enjoy your future compliments,
Taz
Dear Rainbow Dash,
You are such an amazing pony. You have been reckless at times, a bit extreme with emotions, and overall scared of what others think of you. Well, I'll honestly tell you how I feel about you.
You tend to change your feelings quickly, as if always on a roller coaster with them. And I'll be honest here, too; you're one of many I know. Including myself, I'd like to note. I wouldn't say it's too much a bad thing, but there is the occasional competition I see between you and Applejack. It feels uncomfortable seeing these emotions and actions reflected, while at the same time, I feel like you set an example for me.
You've got just about as much experience as anypony, and you never back down from acheiving your dreams. Some ponies call that "overconfident," but I call it persistent. It's a good thing. From you, I've learned that there is no such thing as giving up, that it is impossible to work hard on something and stop. From you, I've learned a lot of things, too, like the Wonderbolts.
You, Rainbow Dash, are one of the most loyal ponies I know. I want you to keep it that way. I love you for who you are.
Enjoy your future compliments,
Taz
Dear Pinkie Pie,
You are such an amazing pony. Ponies may say you're a bit too energized, and I'll be honest, you kind of are. But, hey, sometimes it's a good thing. Here's why:
You keep telling your friends and students that every day is a good day. You're optimistic in the darkest of times, and you get sad only when your friends do. That kind of spirit is one most ponies envy, me included, whether they tell themselves that or not. Sometimes, ponies say horid things to cover up their jealousy; they lie to themselves and others around them. I won't be one of those ponies. You've taught me to find light in the darkest of dark nights, to always cheer up when I'm feeling sad. Not only that, but from what I've seen in you, I learned to help other ponies when they don't see the light. Thank you for all you've done to help me.
You, Pinkie Pie, are one of the most cheerful ponies I know. You make me, and probably many others, so much more happy. I love you for being you!
Enjoy your future compliments,
Taz
Dear Applejack,
You are such an amazing pony. You never hesitate to tell the truth and speak your opinion. And while that sounds like a bad thing, it really isn't, because there are those types of ponies who tell lies and lies until they cannot anymore. You don't have to do that because you already know the value of true honesty. I wish most ponies were like that, myself included. I want to be in your hooves, to be trusted by everypony including myself. But I'm not. I wish I were. But you still set the example for me, and I'm glad you do, because I could not have been that kind of pony. Not without you.
You, Applejack, are one of the most honest ponies I know. I'm glad that's a fact, because I depend on you to show me the way. I love you for who you are.
Enjoy your future compliments,
Taz
Dear Rarity,
You are such an amazing pony. You give and create, never backing down from a challenge you face, especially when you have a friend by your side.
Your friends always help you, and you help back. You also give them extra things like clothes, decor, and basically anything a great and generous friend like you would be willing to give to their friend in need, or not in need and it's just for fun. Not only do you often give gifts to your friends, you give some to your students, too. You give the wonderful gift of knowledge to the students you teach, and it's hard work for you. But the way you teach is amazing, so keep it that way.
You, Rarity, are one of the most generous ponies I know. I want you to stay that way, and keep giving the gift that you do every day: the gift of your stunning presence. Meanwhile, this is my simple yet hearfelt gift to you. I love you for who you are.
Enjoy your future compliments,
Taz
Starlight smiled as she read them all. Everypony in the staff, including herself and Twilight, had gotten their compliments from Taz already. Starlight and Twilight recieved them through a therapy session letter, but that still counted. Starlight straightened the paper and handed the correct one to each of her friends, who were sitting in the room. They each read their short paragraph and smiled, as the compliments made their day. A word is worth a thousand smiles. Or frowns, depending on how you use the words.
"This was so sweet of Taz!" Fluttershy giggled. The rest nodded in agreement, Twilight the slowest.
Through her sluggish nods, she asked, "Now who is Taz? That is the question."
Starlight swallowed. "Twilight, Taz wanted that information secret. Shouldn't we show her that we're trustworthy?"
"I want to find out, Starlight."
Starlight sighed and dug at the ground with her hooves. "I know. I know you do. But the seal to the secret remains unbroken, and it will stay that way until Taz decides to break it. Only she can do such a feat."
Now, it was Twilight's turn to sigh. "My curiosity gets the better of me each day Taz's identity remains a secret. She is a really fluent writer, and she'd probably be great at giving speeches and cheering others up. She seems to be especially good at that, maybe even to a level where it was her talent.
Starlight rested a hoof on Twilight's shoulder. "I know you wonder. But sometimes, secrets are programmed to stay secrets. You can't break that rule, no matter how hard you try. The secret will remain until the owner of the secret wants it all out."
"That's really good advice, Starlight," Twilight smiled. Starlight smiled back. "About as fluent as Taz." They both giggled, but Starlight looked around her. As a student walked by, she teleported a scroll into their bookbag. Almost as sneaky as Twilight when it comes to finding something as old as a Canterlot Archives' Spell in the Starswirl The Bearded wing. Almost. they had their limits. At least, that's what Starlight hoped.
