The Great and Powerful Trixie Lulamoon had needed years to fully recover her respect as a performer after being humiliated twice in Ponyville. She had spent that time working on her magic, and rebuilding her pride with small shows and odd jobs.
Now, her confidence back in full force and with a new repertoire of magical feats to perform, Trixie trots into the quiet little village of Greenhoof, ready to dazzle the simple ponies with a spectacular show the likes of which they have never seen before.
Yet, she's greeted only by the town's dead eyes and wide smiles.
