'''Dragon Lord Ember''' iswas the currentprevious [[Dragon Lord]] and daughter of [[Torch]].<ref name = GOF>{{E|Gauntlet of Fire}}</ref> She iswas great friends with [[{{FIM|Spike]]}} and [[Thorax|King Thorax]] and on good terms with [[{{FIM|Twilight Sparkle]]}}, [[{{FIM|Rarity]]}} and [[Starlight Glimmer]].<ref name = TRIP>{{CAR|FIM|Triple Threat}}</ref> She represented dragons at the [[School of Friendship|Friendship School]] along with [[Smolder]].<ref name = SD1>{{CAR|FIM|School Daze}}</ref>

Not much of Ember's early life is known. She appears to be the only child of [[Torch]], given no mentioned relatives, and the status of her mother is unknown. Growing up, her rebellious attitude seemed to cause strain between her and her more rigid dad. Her father had little faith in Ember's actual abilities, and belittled her during the [[Gauntlet of Fire (Event)|Gauntlet of Fire]], further indicating a strained relationship.

Ember and Thorax began exchanging letters, with her continuing to give him advice on being a more assertive ruler.<ref>[[To Change a Changeling]]</ref> Ember was also among the leaders who attended the [[Convocation of the Creatures]], a gathering of representatives from various species across the world. She was quite uncomfortable with the situation, due to dragons lacking practice in diplomacy, but was encouraged by Twilight. [[Blacktip]], a dragon serving as archivist, was later somewhat put off to learn that Twilight was friends with Ember, as he had attempted to pass himself off as her best resource for dragon culture facts. According to one account, she later visited the [[Crystal Empire]] to discuss a trade agreement with [[{{FIM|Princess Cadance]]}} and [[{{FIM|Shining Armor]]}}.<ref>{{M|GAMELOFT}}, Presentable in Periwinkle event</ref>

When Twilight Sparkle opened the [[School of Friendship]] in Ponyville, [[{{FIM|Princess Celestia]]}} helped her reach out to various species to invite members of them to enroll. Ember accepted the invitation and brought the young dragon [[Smolder]] to join, though the younger female was less than enthusiastic. After ordering her to remain, and introducing her to Spike, Ember later attended [[Friends and Family Day]] with Thorax, [[Grampa Gruff]], Prince Rutherford, and [[General Seaspray]]. Unfortunately, their rambunctious students caused a scene that aggravated the anti-non-pony sentiments of [[Chancellor Neighsay]], who offended Ember and her peers. All five thus withdrew their students from the school, which Neighsay closed in his capacity as head of the [[EEA]].

Some time later, Smolder earned Ember's approval to return to Ponyville early by beating [[Charcoal]] in an arm-wrestling match. Later, Ember-as part of her Dragon Lord duties-was watching over the latest generation of dragon eggs when Smolder, Spike, and [[Fluttershy (Friendship is Magic){{FIM|Fluttershy]]}} arrived for a visit. Fluttershy and Spike helped Ember care for the eggs, which weren't hatching, and discovered that [[Garble's gang]] had been unwittingly draining the lava intended to keep them warm. Ember thus ordered the dragons to heat the eggs with their fire breath, but it was only when Garble's beatnik poetry caused the dragons to laugh that the fire became hot enough to hatch the eggs. Ember promptly decreed that the dragons would no longer belittle each other for their differences or hobbies, and even asked Garble to teach her how to perform similar poetry.<ref>{{CAR|FIM|Sweet & Smoky}}</ref>

Ember was among the creatures who appeared during Celestia and Luna's song "[[Lotta Little Things]]."<ref>{{CAR|FIM|Between Dark and Dawn}}</ref> Later, she was present when Smolder appealed to the dragons to go to the aid of Equestria against the [[Legion of Doom]]. She then joined in with the numerous creatures who took part in the [[FinalApocalypse|battle]] Battleagainst forthe Equestria]]legion,<ref>{{CAR|FIM|The Ending of the End}}</ref> before attending Twilight's coronation as [[Queen of Equestria]].<ref>{{CAR|FIM|The Last Problem}}</ref>
