Favorite Ponies of the Writers

[Superstars111 79]

Something I've been wondering lately is if the writers have favorite ponies. I haven't been able to find out from my Google searches if they'd announced anything about it, though I doubt that they would have. So I've been trying to figure it out on my own.

First I made a list of all the episodes written by each writer. (Well, somepony else on the forums already had a nice list made up through season three, so I just stole that and added season four. (No season five yet.)) Then I looked at who was the mane character for that episode and marked it down. My hope was that I'd be able to see some pattern, but alas, I found none.

So now I turn to you. Do you have any thoughts on who might be the favorite ponies of each writer? If so, why do you think that?

 

(In case you're interested, I also put my list in the spoiler below.)

 

 

How the list works:

I looked through the episode titles, and where I couldn't remember who was at the head, I looked up a summary. But some of my interpretations may be off. If I got somepony wrong, pease tell me so I can fix it. But I did try to get it right, so it's not like it would be riddled with errors. Just different interpretations.

Each of the mane six are highlighted a different color, as well as Spike, the Mane Six as a group, and the Cutie Mark Crusaders as a group. Sometimes somepony else is listed, but they're not highlighted. For example, Discord or Cadence. The individual Cutie Mark Crusaders also aren't highlighted. (I wanted to, but I wasn't sure what colors to give them.) This is focusing on a few central characters, not every character in the episode.
Twilight is highlighted Purple

Fluttershy is highlighted Yellow

Applejack is highlighted Orange

Pinkie Pie is highlighted Pink

Rarity is highlighted Dark Purple

Spike is highlighted Green

The Mane Six are highlighted Blue

The Cutie Mark Crusaders are highlighted Red

Yes, it's hard to see Fluttershy. But so is she.
