There are many axioms in Equestria. "Go with the grain." "Count your blessings." "Strive to be happy with what you have." And, though left unsaid, the most important one of all: "Know your place."

After all, social order is more important than fulfilling one's own wishes. Alternate Universe tag is due to the existence of a caste system in this story. Please keep that in mind as you read.
