She's desperate, and it falls to the hooves of one pony to truely understand her.

What's it like to live in Canterlot, home of the princesses, assorted renowned celebrities and sophisticated ponies?

Well, it all comes down to who you are, really - and if you happen to be a fairly ordinary earth pony, you can get on with life quite easily with few distractions.

Octavia’s life in Canterlot has not gone as planned.

Now feeling alienated and alone, her despair has reached a new low point. But in her darkest hour, the earth pony devoid of confidence and hiding a shameful secret is confronted by her deepest fears when an old friend visits.
