| Chris introduces the Equestria Girls world to his comic[1] | ||
My Little Pony: Equestria Girls (often abbreviated to Equestria Girls) is a multimedia franchise, and a spinoff of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Set in a human equivalent of the My Little Pony world, Equestria Girls follows human versions of the main cast in high school. It also serves as one of Chris' forms of escapism from the real world, given his nostalgia for his high school days, and his longing to associate with women.
Background
Not content with just selling exaggerated horses, Equestria Girls is Hasbro's foothold in selling fashion dolls in their My Little Pony franchise. The franchise made its debut in 2013, with the release of the movie of the same name. The film establishes that a human world exists parallel to the pony world of Equestria, where most of the characters attend Canterlot High School; nonetheless, the magical and friendship elements synonymous with the parent franchise are still present.
In the comic
In Sonichu #12-9, Night Star hops through a portal from CWCville to Canterlot High School, where she bumps into her human counterpart. Upon receiving a cutie mark from Star, the "prototypical friend" transforms into a near identical copy of her pony counterpart and is thrust into "mental sync".
Across the campus, Diamond Melody is chatting with Vinyl Scratch and another friend, whom Night Star guides her human counterpart to, as she once had a relationship with the pony version. The human counterpart's story arc ends with her being invited out to the cafe after school.
