“The local embassy staff consists of Dale, the primary human ambassador, who barely speaks Ponish and struggles with focus when it comes to formal lessons; however, he’s friendly and likes to help out. Lyra, the pony representative, is a grandmaster duellist and a musician, and she has hosted a minotaur before. Diamond Mint is formally trained in butling and etiquette; she moved to the embassy upon request. Starlight is a Ponyville native, is reserved and likely unflappable, has family going back all the way to the founding of Ponyville, and is probably tangentially related to half the earth ponies there. Ka-th-rin or Kate is another human, not currently mentally competent to make any binding contracts due to her medical recovery. She likes petting ponies. She also may be from a different tribe than Dale, and their tribes may be warring. A number of nurses and doctors tend to Kate around the clock, all of whom are more focused on her well-being than any political considerations. In addition, there are Royal Guards, possibly Night Guards, and at the rate ponies come and go, there could well be a troop of Wonderbolts by the time you arrive.”
