Her sisters loved her, they really did. But she was the stars at night, the unpredictable, the lost and gone. She annoyed her sisters, until one day, they decided to play their own just desserts on her…

They cast her out of their castle. Gave her a new form, one of an ugly earth pony. Told her to live with the people she had tricked. Told her that lessons must be learnt.

Lessons of empathy, when she lived with Flutterbree, the excitable pony who made sure that everyone was well in times of great stress.

Lessons of trust, when she lived with Roarold, the pony who had travelled far from her homeland to help heal Princess Luna.

Lessons of honour, when she lived with Edith Apple, the pony who would always tell the truth, or her honour would disappear.

Lessons of reliability, when she lived with Ocean Breeze, the young pony whose life was shaken by the War Against Discord, but whom stayed reliable through it all.

Lessons of giving, when she lived with Beauty Belle, the reclusive pony whose face scared all, and the only way she believed she could be accepted was by giving.

Lessons of optimism, when she lived with Diana Pie, the pony behind the scenes at all times, whom lived for and fed off gratitude.

Lessons of integrity, when she lived with Night Dash, a staunch follower of the teachings of old King Zephyr, alicorn of the clouds, and as changeable as the wind.

Lessons of knowledge, when she lived with Twilight Golden, the builder of the first library in all of Equestria Proper, and the caretaker of the knowledge that lay there.

These are the lessons Vafer Stella learnt when she went wandering.
