She cheered her up and made her laugh, earning her cutie mark.

Their friendship was abusive, however. Snow Showers would criticize and belittle Empyrean into doing what she wants. She would soon apologize for her behavior afterwords, but the cycle of abuse kept going. Empyrean Dancer noticed how Snow Showers did not fulfill her promises and they soon had a falling out, leading Snow Showers to announce her as Empyrean's enemy and left. Snow Showers has had a grudge on her ever since.
