Consider the following:

1) Starlight Glimmer is Trixie's assistant.

2) Trixie cannot escape the manticore without Starlight.

3) Starlight leaves Trixie.

Ergo, Trixie is utterly incapable of escaping the manticore.

4) Trixie is heartbroken by Starlight's departure.

5) Trixie decides to do the stunt.

6) Trixie is willingly devoured by the manticore.

Ergo, despite the knowledge that she cannot escape, Trixie chooses to be eaten by a massive predator. Note that she could have backed down at any time.

That is a death wish.
