Oh Lyra how did you become so awesome and cool? I mean, everypony loves you and why wouldn't they? After all you are the most beautiful being in WHOLE of Equestria.

(Ok maybe a little, but i really meant the last part)

I thank you for your compliments in inverse proportion to your level of sarcasm!

Awesome and cool? Um… Living through tragedy? I don’t know, I don’t think I’m either of those things. I’m just a mare. I don’t even own my own home.

I hope no one hates me, but I also hope that’s not because of my appearance. I try to be courteous to everypony!

I do take steps with my appearance, though. I like my hair to look pretty, it makes me feel better! That can sound shallow, but it’s important to have a positive self image!
