My Little Pony: Equestria Girls, also known as simply Equestria Girls, is an American-Canadian product line of fashion dolls and media franchise launched in 2013 by Hasbro, as a spin-off of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, itself the 2010 relaunch of the My Little Pony franchise. Equestria Girls features anthropomorphized version of My Little Pony characters. It includes various doll lines and media tie-ins (including four films, music albums, a mobile app, and three upcoming specials).
The Equestria Girls fictional universe is established as a parallel counterpart to the main world of the main series, populated with human versions of the characters from the show My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.
The Equestria Girls media franchise takes place in an alternate version of Equestria resembling modern-day Earth, whose population consist of technicolored humans, most are similar to their equine counterparts in terms of appearance and personality. Normally, this parallel world was accessible through various magical spells and items like the Portal Mirror, a magical mirror created by Star Swirl the Bearded that is currently in the possession of Princess Twilight Sparkle.
Several known locales in the human world serves as counterparts to the main states and establishments in Equestria, such as Canterlot High School, a high school based on the royal city of Canterlot that is run by Principal Celestia and her sister, Vice-Principal Luna; and Crystal Prep School, an elite private school based on Equestria's Crystal Empire.
The Equestria Girls franchise follows Princess Twilight Sparkle in the human world, which is accessed through a magic mirror. Together, with the human counterparts of her pony friends, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity and Fluttershy, Twilight will have to deal with the various magical happenings in Canterlot High.
Later films introduces two additional main characters serving as substitutes for Twilight (due to her duties in Equestria as the Princess of Friendship): Sunset Shimmer, a former unicorn and student of Princess Celestia; and Twilight "Sci-Twi" Sparkle, the science-inclined human counterpart of Princess Twilight.
