I'm beginning to wonder if an ongoing trend in Season 7 will be Starlight acquiring her own group of friends outside of the mane six. I mean, Trixie was already a friend, but now she's also become a student while Maud bears the connection of being Pinkie's sister. Makes me wonder what other friends Starlight may be making. Incidentally, I've noticed that the mane six themselves, with the exceptions of Twilight and Pinkie, haven't had as much of a role so far this season. Granted we're only four episodes in, so there's still plenty of time for the rest to get their fair share.
