She appeared as if from nowhere, a dark shadowed figure full of dread magic. Shining Armor and Cadance scowled with apprehension, but her attention was on the _other_ shadowy overlord that stood before her. Only one could remain.

They're just so wholesome.
One of the things that I enjoy about this series is the exploration of how good actions can be conflated with evil intentions, and vice versa.
Pony are always about to bend others to their way of thinking. A Umbrum? They use others for their means and it is good enough that way.
When Friendship is no option, mutually beneficial contracts do well.
Hmm...I see sixth possible options for what Umbra is thinking of.
First possibility, Shifting. She's just as dedicated to the family, and I could see her agreeing to it for the sake of learning...and possibly wanting to apply it to bedroom fun if Umbra can master it :P
Second/Third - and probably more likely - possibility...that stallion she helped who had the "bad thoughts", or his marefriend. I imagine either one of them would like the idea of being able to turn their minds off for a time so as to set those thoughts aside.
Fourth possibility, Twilight. Everything about the situation would be perfectly safe, and it's studying a brand new magic. She'd absolutely want in.
Fifth/sixth possibility is one I could see Umbra doing just to screw with Night. Luna or Celestia. Luna's more likely as she could get away from duties for it easier...but the look on Night's face if Umbra and Morning came back with Celestia under Morning's control would be absolutely priceless! It being Luna would be almost as good.

Wow, I asked the right question. All your answers are ones I hadn't immediately considered, but clearly should have.
.....Blueblood, make the controlled pony Blueblood and I will have a laughing fit!!

...I am now at a complete loss as to who Umbra could be thinking of.
...unless she was thinking of the CMC. Given the timeline, I believe this is pre Cutie Marks, and they'd jump at the chance of possibly getting a Cutie Mark experimenting with Umbra magic.
...or maybe Shining Armor? He's been mind controlled before, possibly offer a way for him to experience it when it isn't hostile?
... It only just now occurred to me. Umbra is a lady of dark attraction, who practices and controls a shadowy magic, and whose mane will spring to life when the time is right.
She's an umbra witch.

Magic is a tool, just like a hammer. And how you use it makes the difference between a chair and manslaughter.
