My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic - Image #700,147

There were always two Lyras: one is obsessed with humans, and the other behaves like a human because she originally came from the human world through the mirror portal.

That’s my theory as to why Lyra wasn’t in the EQG movie – because both counterparts have been living in Equestria for years now.

All of the other pony clones can be explained away by the Mirror Pool and time travel.
