Dragon Lord Ember, recently crowned, has taken her home of the Dragon Lands towards a new path: The path of friendship. And, who else to consult than a few ponies, known to be the purveyors and experts of friendship?—their whole society being founded and based on the tenets of friendship, after all.

Ember, however, also has a few issues and some matters in need of clarification. One of them being: How can she properly interact with ponies when they all look the same, have very similar names, and—in some cases—even have alike personalities?

She seeks her answers in the town of Ponyville.
