As some might know, Scootaloo is one of my favorite ponies. Why? Because she is the pony that I relate to the most, for a couple of reasons:

Like her and the other CMC, I'm a late bloomer myself. I pretty much blew off self-discovery all through middle and high school, and now that I'm a little older and more grown up, I'm beginning to finally be proactive about discoverying myself, my talents, and my dreams. And in a lot of ways, my efforts mirror those of the CMC. I'm learning about musical instruments, I'm drawing traditionally and digitally, and I'm getting into the shape where I can start playing sports, etc. I'm trying all sorts of new things I've never done before in my life in the pursuit of discovering who I am.

But what really makes me relate to Scoots above the other CMC is that her and I have the same destinies it seems - the pursuit of adrenaline. Scootaloo is a little daredevil, and the more I think about it, so am I. I watch videos of people skydiving, BASE jumping, flying aerobatics, etc., and while most people will say "ooh" and "aah" with their feet firmly planted on the ground, I am overcome with a feeling that I NEED to try that. Like Scootaloo, I'm overcome with the need for speed.

In fact, this summer I will use some money I saved up to try skydiving for the first time, and in another year when I transfer to WMU I will take their aerobatics course. And if Scootaloo really existed in our reality I'm sure she would probably do similar.

Also, we both have a probably near-unhealthy infatuation with Rainbow Dash.

Anyway, yeah, those are the reasons why I love that brave little Pegasus adrenaline junkie named Scootaloo.
