Would you consider Starlight a main character?

Nope, i dont want the mane 7 or element of harmony, screw that. She dont need to be mane 7 or element of harmony to be relevant in the story context, she need to be a stand alone character like Luna or Spike that dont need to be "something" to be relevant. Let Sunset has her mane 7 status and let Starlight out of that castle.

Starlight is surely a main character, considering her role in the show now (all premiere and finale episodes are about her).

But she's not a mane 7. She doesn't feel right with the other mane 6, it's like she's not even friend with them (the events of "Every little thing she does" show in fact that she doesn't really care).

I want to say no, but the writers are clearly trying to shoehorn her into a main role. The season 6 premiere and finale focused on her and now the season 7 premiere probably will too no doubt, so they clearly want her to be a main character. I would highly prefer that she wasn't one. I personally don't think she deserves it.

Not really.

She didn't appear enough in season 6 to be considered one.

And she really doesn't have any meaningful interactions/believable friendships with the main cast outside of Twilight or Spike, so I don't really see her as part of the group.

Yes definitely. The show has evolved from what it was back in the early seasons, although the episodes without her does seem a bit similar to the old seasons.

 

I think she puts the show in the whole new perspective rather than being the adventures of Twilight and the Mane 5 all the time.

Judging by how many episodes in S6 focused on her combined with how many S6 episodes she was completely absent from (the latter being more common) i'd say almost but not quite yet.

Right after Deez Nuts become an alicorn princess.

You can be as educational as Smokey the Bear or McGruff the Crime Dog, if you're not a stereotype with an interesting shtick gtbo.

I have no idea what to consider with Starlight anymore.

I didn't think we'd go in this direction back with Starlight at the end of Season5. I didn't think originally they were going to keep her on for this long. So this has been a never-ending surprise to me.

Truly not sure what they're planning to do with Starlight now "graduating" from Sparkle's lessons. So yeah, I'm still playing the "wait and see" game since season 5.

No, she rarely ever feels like a main character, and whenever they push her into the spotlight in all major episodes it never feels earned

Not "main seven," but on par with Spike or the Cutie Mark Crusaders in that she receives episodes where she has the primary spotlight. Even Luna can't get an episode without the mane six heavily involved, but Starlight, can, just like Spike and the CMC.

Only if Hasbro told us so, the answer would be "yes definitely", but for now, there's still some unused pairings in the Mane Six that need episodes for themselves. As soon as they've all been caught up, I'd say "yes definitely" by then for Starlight to be a main character.

I would loosely label her as a main cannon but not as the same branch as the mane six.    I feel the writers have a lot more freedom with her not being a main cannon in how they can use her and also the cause and effects she can make in the show.
