I think that Trixie has been ill-served by the 'heroes' of the story in this instance. Yeah, the heckling was understandable but to effectively run her out of town for what Snips and Snails did? Worse, not to find her when she's wandering around the Everfree with everything she's ever owned at the bottom of an Ursa Minor's footprint? She was a scoundrel but she wasn't actively malicious in intent like Flim and Flam.

To me, the events of Magic Duel were very much Ponyville's chickens coming home to roost. They turned Trixie, who is basically a Lawful Neutral, into an antagonist by their own small-town lynch-mob mentality.

If I were Twilight, I would have found her after Boast Busters, either brought her back to Ponyville or, if I thought she was in danger in the town, personally asked the Pies to look after her, offering to cover their expenses from my stipend from the Princess, until I could return her repaired wagon to her. I would definitely have done it after Magic Duel.

But maybe that's me.
