Raven Darkstorm spent her entire childhood locked away in an asylum. No one told her why she was there or how she got there except that she was a freak and was too abnormal to be in public. Her dragon eyes, which turn red when she's angry just as her clouded moon cutie mark does, are a most unusual phenomenon and her curse-like luck causes pain to those around her. She throws herself into a world that is nothing but a facade. Along the way, Raven finds ponies with bizarre abilities or features that set them as outcasts, worst than adult blank flanks. Together this little band of ponies discover what it means to be unique, why it's good to be special and why friendship is truly magic.
