Line 30:
Zecora grew up in [[Zebrat]], the capital of her homeland of [[Farasi]]. Like her future friend {{FIM|Twilight Sparkle}}, Zecora was a rather introverted child, spending more time reading than playing games. That changed when she befriended another young Zebra, [[Marini]], and her [[Abada]] and [[Kelpie]] playmates [[Cactus Rose]], [[Crystal]], [[Dust Devil]], and [[Medley Brook]]. The six youngsters grew close, and enjoyed such activities as ''[[Ogres & Oubliettes]]'' [[LARPing]]. They were also classmates under the tutelage of Ms. [[Alegre]], one of whose lessons would later irrevocably alter Zecora's life.
 
Upon hearing that Zebras, unlike Abada and Kelpies, possessed no magical abilities or potential, Zecora became determined to gain magical skills. She studied the subject ravenously, and was surprised to learn of [[Mage Meadowbrook (Friendship is Magic)|Mage Meadowbrook]], who defied Alegre's statements that only {{FIM|Unicorn}}s could learn magic. Zecora also took to speaking almost entirely in rhyme, having apparently learned that it was typical language for spells. This was to the chagrin of her five friends, whose responses to her aspirations varied but in general expressed little or no hope that she could achieve her goals. As Zecora later recalled, they would often tease her; eventually, Zecora left home with no intention of ever returning.<ref>{{C|FIM|89}}</ref><ref>{{C|FIM|90}}</ref>
 
It's unknown when Zecora moved into the [[Everfree Forest]], but when she did, she was not at all welcomed due to her strange (to the neighboring [[Ponyville]] ponies) appearance and choice of residence. Rumors also circus that she was an [[Enchantress]] who practiced [[Dark Magic]]. However, Zecora was apparently unaware of their reaction and the unease she generated, simply believing that the shops in town always happened to be closed whenever she came to visit. Despite this, she continued to enter the town, exploring while the ponies hid away from her.
