Crystal Dawn isn't one to stick out among the ponies of the Crystal Empire. She loves and respects Princess Cadance and Twilight and her friends as much as anypony. But she and her family refuse to go crazy with the hero-worship of Spike.

Aside from that though, she isn't much different from other fillies her age.

But on the day that she gains her cutie mark, Crystal's life will go from ordinary and boring, to extraordinary.

For among the esteemed ranks of the Dragon Knights, Crystal Dawn will stand out next to those like her.
