The Anatomy of Aesthetics
History recalls Flaire d'Mare as the eminent fashion designer who streamlined the uniforms of the Wonderbolts. She is remembered as a visionary, an icon — a good mare. She wishes she was remembered as a mare who was afraid.
On the eve of the five-hundred-and-thirtieth year of Celestial Peace, a shocking accident befalls one of Equestria’s aviators during the Wonderbolts' performance at the Summer Sun Celebration.
Flaire d’Mare attempted to warn against the danger that caused the incident, and thus, she is commissioned to improve the safety of the Wonderbolts’ uniforms at the behest of their tenth leader: General Flash.
Assisted by the optimistic young aviator Fairy Flight, Flaire will do whatever she must to ensure a safer future for the Wonderbolts.
Even if that means confronting the inner wound of her long-endured grief.
