Twilight never told anyone the story of how she lost her horn and her friends have accepted long ago the fact that she doesn't want to talk about it. They've also accepted her rather critical view of the current government, even if some ponies in Ponyville still keep their distance from her, because of that simple fact. Needless to say, Twilight's life has never been easy, but fate will show her soon what it has in store for her.
