    Day 2: Favorite CMC

    This one got easier over the course of the series.

    Like Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo didn't really have a fleshed-out personality for most of the first season, her best appearance coming from Chronicles. And in the second season, she didn't really shine. Come her first solo episode via Sleepless in Ponyville, we really get to see her character beyond her passion for scooters and devotion for Dash. It was more than that. She was very adventurous, insecure about opening herself up to Dash, and feared to admit being scared to look strong.

    Two episodes later on explored another stinging point for her: her disability. Unlike other pegasi even at her age, she couldn't fly. Apple Bloom's and Sweetie's lack of reactions from DT's and SS's bullying relay to the audience they and Ponyville as a whole are aware of it and don't care, and Lightning Dust exploited Scoot's weakness by suggesting that anyone could participate in the Washouts just to manipulate her and Dash. Both times, their tactics got to her, the former by straying away from their acrobat routine, the latter by defying Dash's warnings and joining Dust's group. The Washouts — Dash's best episode — really went into depth Scoot's sisterly relation with Dash, Dash's ego hurting her good intentions, and how Dust was able to subtly take advantage of the conflict.

    In terms of which episode associated with her to talk about, I'm gonna do The Last Crusade. Mane Allgood and Snap Shutter are two of the most important ponies in all of Equestria. No one's as good at researching, exploring, and studying animals and potential medicine better than them. Every day, they risk their lives to do so. However, they're not good parents; the episode and parents themselves know this. But despite being busy constantly, they try to be good parents and be with Scootaloo whenever they can, hence the constant contact with her, Lofty and Holiday (who in turn make babysitting arrangements). Scootaloo loves them, knowing how hard they try to juggle between parenting and saving lives. Mane and Snap love her, too; and want to be around her way more than normal.

    Their solution to bring Scootaloo to Shire Lanka meant spending quality time with her while also working on their occupation. Unfortunately, they didn't understand that Scootaloo and the CMCs as a whole made such an impact while living in Ponyville before making their decision to move out, and it's made worse by them making the move official before giving Scootaloo any input beforehand. (It also doesn't help that Derpy dropped off their postcard to Scoot's house, thinking her aunts are still there and not back home. This accident led to a lot of unfortunate chaos that could've been sorted out if Derpy hadn't dropped it off late.)

    All of this culminated with one of the most emotional moments of the entire series. Lofty, Holiday, the CMCs, and Ponyville as a whole worked together to show Mane and Snap that the CMCs changed so many lives. Not only to the folks living in Ponyville, but those outside, too, like Gabby and Terramar. Their strong, proactive act in support for Scoot made them understand that splitting her away damages not only her relationships back home, but future ones too. Moving her away would do more harm than good. As unrealistic as her staying in Ponyville and her aunts moving to Ponyville permanently are, they make sense and gives Scoot the happy outcome she sorely needed.

      She was always my favorite – the combination of cute and tough always works for me. ^_^ But yeah, I agree her character became a lot more interesting over the seasons. Especially her being unable to fly and accepting it – while I know many wanted her to fly, I'm glad that wasn't done (especially after the impact of episodes like "Flight to the Finish").
