Which of the Mane Six would be the biggest "Clue" suspect?

[KillerKingBakudan 702]

Like the board game, a ponified version of Mr. Boddy is murdered in a mansion. And the Mane Six are the prime suspects because they were the only ones at the party whom the victim had royally pissed off. 

Obviously, they wouldn't have it in them to commit such a crime in the show. But for the purpose of this discussion, we'll say that the circumstances were so dire that they really had no way to avoid it. The "pony Mr. Boddy" had planned to blackmail each of them, and if they chose not to comply to his demands, or if they told anyone about what he'd threatened to do, their lives would have been utterly ruined.

On top of that, Luna inexplicably "disappeared" on the night before the party, so there's no way she could have entered any of the Mane Six's dreams to expose this bastard before they could do him in. Clearly, this was not the kind of conflict any of them could just pull through with their friends. 

One of them is guilty beyond any doubt. So if you had to take a guess, which of the six do you think would be the most likely to have done it? Also, where, and with what?
 

These are the nine rooms where it could have happened:
Kitchen, Ballroom, Conservatory, Dining Room, Billiard Room, Library, Lounge, Hall, Study

And these are the possible weapons:
Candlestick, Dagger, Leadpipe, Rope, Wrench, Crossbow (as a proxy for the Revolver)

i dont know, but rarity seems to be more of the victorian era type like they are in the game clue. she's so against getting dirty it almost makes sensse that she does it in secret. i've never liked her anyway...

[Ice Fox 1,145]

Rainbow Dash. I think she may be the first to get dirty.

 

And yet, then again, Twily and AJ can be pretty down to earth and realistic...

That really depends on the nature of the blackmailing.

 

Twilight wouldn't have a motive at all, unless she simply wanted to eliminate the burden of blackmail for the other five. 

Pinkie would be the most difficult to blackmail. I don't know what would compel her to do it other than threatening to sabotage an important party she's planning (like poisoning some of her desserts). 

I can't see Fluttershy doing it unless her animal friends were threatened.  

Applejack could easily commit murder if her family was threatened, but I think she'd also have the most trouble living with it. 

Rainbow Dash would be a probable suspect. She made becoming a Wonderbolt her sole mission in life. For that to get taken from her, say, by having steroids planted in her home for some reporter to find, would cause her to lose herself. 

Rarity's career getting ruined would make her the most probable suspect though. If her designer secrets were leaked to rivals in the fashion industry, she'd definitely be driven over the edge.


So all in all, I'm going to say Rarity, in the billiard room (where she'd spend her time the least) with the candlestick.

Rainbow dash- is the least likely suspect since her life goal is to become a wonderbolt. even due being blackmail, Dashies would never resort to murder to obtain her goals.

 

Twilight sparkles- Twilight wouldn't have a motive at all, unless she simply wanted to eliminate the burden of blackmail for the other five. Probably have Mr. Boddy arrested.

Applejack-Applejack could easily commit murder if her family was threatened, but I think she'd also have the most trouble living with it. 

 

Rarity-rarity seems to be more of the Victorian era type like they are in the game clue. she's so against getting dirty it almost makes sense that she does it in secret... or if her career getting ruined would make her the most probable suspect though. If her designer secrets were leaked to rivals in the fashion industry, she'd definitely be driven over the edge.

Fluttershy- I can't see Fluttershy doing it unless her animal friends were threatened.  

Pinkie's pie-- Pinkie would be the most difficult to blackmail. I don't know what would compel her to do it other than threatening to sabotage an important party she's planning (like poisoning some of her desserts). or just end up disappearing and baked into cupcake just like all of her missing victims that has gone missing.
