Before being forced into the program, 006 worked as a pastry chef and was a friend to everyone so when a little filly needed help finding her calling, 006 was there to help. Something went wrong and there was an explosion that left her seriously injured.
So that naturally made her a prime candidate for the zero-zero-project that was looking for a second pony to comprise the second generation. 005 and 006 would be the two members of this generation.
The flames she breathes are incredibly hot and can melt steel, though not quickly. It’s mainly used for digging through the ground. Her hooves can deform into shovels when she wants them too. She was obviously made resistant to her own powers. Like 002, her body metabolizes the fuel for her flamethrower, though she, like 002 can consume pure fuel if she needs to. The marks on her face are actually cooling vents for her face.
She was also chosen because of her bizarre precognitive abilities that sometimes allow her to predict events just before they happen. This would be valuable if the signs weren’t incredibly vague and so close to the actual event chronologically.
