The main setting of Pony Life is Sugarcube Corner, a bakery operated by Pinkie Pie that she and her friends Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, Rarity and Fluttershy often use as a hangout. The series explores comedic, slice-of-life stories that they experience, primarily while hanging out at Sugarcube Corner. The series uses an art style based on Japanese chibi. As a reboot, it has no continuity with Friendship Is Magic, allowing for the existence of new characters (such as Octavio Pie, Pinkie Pie's brother) and the omission of certain other characters from the original series.[citation needed]
