A blind mare called Sandy Sunshine, had put up a bounty for the search and rescue of her missing brother. A kind, yet strong griffon bounty hunter named Dante, picked up the low paying job after briefly talking to the mare, and despite thinking she was just an overbearing sister, he felt she was genuinely concerned about her brother. He thought it would be an easy job, no criminals, no monsters, just some investigation work, her brother was probably just in a nearby town with another mare and didn't want his sister butting in.

Instead, her brother ended up being in Starlight's Town, with an equal sign cutie mark on his, just as all other ponies. Upon being confronted one too many times by the griffon, Starlight snapped in anger and showed him no mercy. He then proceeds to apologize the target's sister, for having failed the mission and not taking her seriously at first.
