Ember (dragon): Difference between revisions

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-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>
