“Sunset Shimmer is the Professor of Chaotic Magical Studies at Thatchroof Prep. While many (alright, most) of the pony public view her machinations with mistrust and disdain, she believes that the creatures and locales of dark magic must be studied and understood, lest the balance of the world be knocked off-kilter. Fortunately, the science facilities at Thatchroof have provided plenty of resources for her studies. To earn her keep, she teaches at Twilight Sparkle’s behest.
 
Sunset’s favorite study subjects are the trio of shapeshifting hippocampi of whom she ran afoul before taking under her wing. Here’s an excerpt from Sunset’s notebook, featuring her observations of the trio’s alpha female, Adagio Dazzle.”
