Zecora is a wise individual, with much knowledge of plants, animals, and herbal remedies. But much about her is unknown, especially her early life and how she ended up living in the Everfree Forest. Of course, nopony ever asked.

This story is entirely told in rhyme, since Zecora is the one speaking and I wanted to keep it sounding authentic. And in case you were wondering what a "personal glyph" is, it's a term I made up that means a zebra's cutie mark.
