But I was thinking since you are going for a Lyra that's "not quite there" what if you make her not understand or completely misinterpret the episode/chapter aesop.
It's always fun when the lesson is subverted and would contrast with Twilight and co.

She isn't a freaking character, people.

So I guess I should say I hate what the fandom has turned her into. And people who call her their favorite character and cite all of these fan works as reasoning.

She has no character. She doesn't even register in my mind when thinking of favorite ponies.

(Late to the convo, I know, but have been busy.)

Actually, she is a character. She might not get to do much because she's just a background pony, but she is a character.
She even recently got to participate in a Peanuts style parody with Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon in the comics :p

It's not some long drawn out scene, but sometimes, it's the little things :p

Aw, poor Lyra. :(

I should totally reference that if I get the chance. :lol

Like take for instance in Just for Sidekicks where the moral was "Don't only think of yourself and get into situations you can't handle" Lyra's interpretation would be "Don't get involved with animals, they bite!" :lol
