It was a long road to redemption for Starlight Glimmer, but she's finally arrived. With Twilight's tutelage, she has embraced the beauty of difference and the magic of friendship, and even accepted her own special talent, magic. Which is why she's so frustrated when Twilight Sparkle locks her out of the castle library and tells her to get a hobby.

I really love Starlight's thing for kites. It's a great detail that gives her a lot of mostly unspoken depth. One point of interest in particular, I always saw it as something Twilight encouraged her to pick up, but a lot of fics take the view that it's something she was always interested in, which is fun in its own ways. This fic is my attempt to reconcile both ideas.
