By the way, it's interesting how many people talk about the map as a sentient being, who decides where to send them, etc...

When in reality, the map is just a tool, that was given by the Tree of Harmony to Twilight and her friends along with the castle. :)

As for Starlight, that sentient magical Tree of Harmony was aware of her and she'd be the only one capable of confronting the Princesses like that among all the Main 6, and Starlight was Twilight's student.

Starlight even helped Twilight to fix that map in the first place when they sent Pinkie and Rarity on the mission.

So even the Tree of Harmony considers Starlight to be very close to be an equal part of the Main 7 group. :)
