Lyra has always been a outcast to the other pony's for being weird or overly nerdy. Obsessive reading of myths and fairytales ranging from Human to the legends of Discord. None of that's really after all right?
NOTE Update: I changed the rating from everyone to Teen due to the teasing Lyra well go through and some events that well happen later in the story. AlsoThis story is set pre season one so Twilight and spike haven't moved into ponyville yet.
