Starlight Glimmer has been a great and reliable guidance counselor for Princess Twilight Sparkle's School of Friendship ever since its inception. She always went the extra mile for her students and prided herself on always being available to them without complaints. She even had to learn it was okay to not be available to them sometimes.

Starlight has also never received a raise, even though the school has been open for well over a year.

Upon learning of Starlight's non-existent raises despite her excelling and working hard as a guidance counselor, Trixie Lulamoon lost it. Despite Starlight desperately pleading with her to calm down, the Great and Furious Trixie stormed to Twilight's office and demanded the bewildered alicorn inside for answers and to pay up. Saying Trixie didn't like Twilight's reason for why she hadn't done it would be the understatement of the century.
