Pearl Rose is a new student at the School of Friendship. Having just moved from Baltimare, the young Pegasus is finding it hard to fit into Ponyville, even though everyone has made her feel welcome.

But Pearl has also developed a reputation for being a bit hot-headed and willing to speak her mind on literally anything and everything and not care about being polite about it if she feels the need.

While most appreciate her honesty, some are not so happy about it, and when she is sent to see Headmare Starlight after breaking up a fight, Pearl fears she's just blown her chance at ever having a normal life.

One pony, however, has a different idea in mind. And what started out as something to dread will blossom into something new for both Pearl and Princess Twilight.
