How?
well
she knows I likes ponies but she didn't know G4 exists
so one day in art class we were drawing manga characters, hers looked like a humanized fluttershy
I talked to her on facebook later and pointed it out, and she was like "oh awesome", then I posted a link to S1E1 and said that she might enjoy the show (it does fit her personality) and she said she'd check it out later when she wasn't as tired
