No way! When I woke up this morning, I had the idea to make this topic myself! And now I find it exists already! Time for a revival!
Personally, I'm going to make it a ranking as well. And I'm not necessarily keeping it at "one" thing.
6. Rainbow Dash - I think she is the complete opposite of me, personality-wise. It took me a very long time to become a loyal person, so I have at least this in common with her.
5. Twilight Sparkle - With her I have in common my neatness. Everything in my home needs to be clean and tidy. I love her as well, but I don't have that much in common with her.
4. Applejack - Definitely the honesty! Very important! Yeehaw!
3. Rarity - Her sense for beauty and perfection. I don't care about how people in reality look like, it's all about the personality. But when it comes to art, hobbies, media and fiction, it needs to be close to perfection, it needs to be colorful, beautiful and unique.
2. Fluttershy - Fluttershy is one of the most relatable characters for me. I was extremely shy as a kid and teen and I was full of anxiety and fear every single day. I was always an outsider, avoided and sometimes hated and called things, because I'm not the way most people and family wants me to be. I was hiding away and more like Marble Pie, really. But I improved over the years and became braver, just like Fluttershy along the seasons. I can be brave in moments when it is needed. I can fight back with all I have. But this is not what I want. Like her, I just want to live a happy, positive and peaceful life. And I wish this to everyone. I feel more connected to animals, as I'm most of the time quiet too. I find talking unnecessary most of the time. She also has very exciting hobbies, especially her tea parties. I finally can be myself for the most part. It is a solitary path, but it's a life without regrets.
1. Pinkie Pie - The funny thing is, that I don't even throw parties, I don't make people laugh. And I don't even eat sugary stuff - at all. But still, she is my number 1 here and I don't even know where to start, haha. She sees the world in a different way, like I do. And I actually find her even nicer and friendlier than Fluttershy, because she is even more accepting, caring and open-minded (in my humble opinion). She is open-minded and accepts even very "unusual" things. One tiny example is, when she thought that a rock is Maud's boyfriend. She didn't judge her in any way and was just happy for her sister and said that a rock would be perfect for her. She seems very chaotic and fun on the surface, but she is actually a very complex character with a lot of depth. And all of it is so relatable. Like her, I just want to be positive and happy, but deep down, we have a lot more to offer. We do unexpected things. I love that she is not like other ponies, she always surprises with something new and unexpected. I can't imagine for myself to live a repetitive life, I'm all about the adventure, the variety and unique experiences. Even her mental breakdowns are relatable. That's all I'm gonna say. She has a nice family I would like to have as well. All the episodes with the Pies are always fantastic! Pinkie is easily excited, she is always happy for anyone. I don't know, I think it would be quicker to tell the things I don't have in common with her, hahaha.
Pinkie is probably the most important aspect of FIM. Without her, maybe I wouldn't have watched the show at all and I wouldn't be here now. She was the first pony Twilight met in Ponyville and this was the moment when I fell in love with the show.
