“Friendship is magickal.” That’s the slogan often passed around when The Warrior’s leader, Twilight Sparkle, advertised the school. Across the two nations (and others from what Cozy’s heard), the Alicorn would spread the news that she was opening an institution that would teach the message of friendship to any who wanted to learn it.
While she had never had any direct contact with any of the Warriors, it wasn’t hard for the young pegasus to hear of their exploits in passing. They were rightfully hailed as heroes far and wide, and their faces were known almost as well. Using this level of influence, it seemed natural to pass the ideals of the group to others. It began as a book. A compiled set of personal logs each of the warriors wrote in at the conclusion of an adventure. When that gained traction the Warriors began to contemplate passing on their teachings in a more direct manner. Cozy saw teh upcoming school as the perfect way to acquire what she viewed as the most potent power across all the lands: Magick.
The pugasus spent her time assisting the teachers in every aspect. She was an exemplary student. Her charisma and wordsmithing abilities made her a natural as the president of the student council president. Cozy more or less led the school by herself she was so trusted by staff and peers.
Cozy Glow had a bit more than a passing interest in the foreign, non pony students attending. They would confound her with their cooperation in spite of their differences. Since she knew how to sweet talk others into doing her bidding quite easily, she would find frustration in not completely winning over those creatures attending the academy. Even their Earth pony friend wouldn't fall to her whims in full. At best she could get them to not find her a threat whereas everyone else trusted her at her word.
She was a natural Orator, one who can influence others with her speechcraft alone. Cozy understood the power that she possessed over others, and grew an awareness of just how little influence the Warriors were exerting despite being the largest icons across the 2 lands even before hearing their praises in liberated lands in a post Storm King world. If she herself could have the untapped power the Warriors so arrogantly neglect, then the Pegasus could have enough power to rule the world. It was all hers for the taking. All she had to do would be abusing her charisma slowly, and that is just what she did. Over the course of the inaugural year of the Friendship Academy the Warriors of Light and Darkness set up, she built up a reputation among peers and faculty to be the most importatnt person on campus.
Expertly, she bided her time waiting on a moment when the Warriors would be distracted by yet another inevitable world crisis that she cynically predicts happens every few months. When the opportunity finally struck she seized power simply by asserting her leadership in the power vacuum left when most of the faculty left. Who was left either believed her, or were quietly disposed of when none were looking. It's she completely won over the hearts and minds of everyone present, the power of friendship would leave even the best of the warriors on their knees in the face of Cozy's strength. However her plans failed to account for a small team that never totally fell for her honeyed words.
Orator’s Hat — Cozy never quite tells the full version on how she got her hands on such a snazzy hat. At best she calls it a gift from a friend, but never goes deeper on the details. It is a symbol of one’s Charisma and Speechcraft ability as an Orator.
The Negotiator — A pepperbox with a rather intimidating name that Cozy keeps attached to her hip and under thigh. She has basic training with the weapon, and uses it mainly for show. Cozy can count the times she has used it on two hands. Not because she’s afraid to use it, but because how effective her speech skills are.
