Pony chat thread

I thought you'd never ask.

So I'm working on a Moondancer fanfic, and I've got some ideas, but I'm not sure if I understand her well enough to write from her perspective in a way that other people would find compelling. If you don't mind, I'd like to bounce a couple of my ideas about the character off you and see if they sound reasonable.

So we know that she started life as a Twilight recolor, and in fact probably has a lot of personality traits in common with Twi such as her love of studying. We also know that she may be a little fixated on friendship with Twi since it wasn't until Twilight didn't show up that she suddenly feels like her party is a failure despite everypony else showing up.

Now I suppose there's room to read shipping in there, and I don't discount that as a possibility, but other than that why is it that Twilight and Studying are two of her biggest obsessions? Like, what motivated her character to focus on studying so intensely in the first place?
