Pony Lookalikes?

[Lunar Glow 676]

For whatever reason, I've really started paying more attention to My Little Pony characters that look very much alike. It could be an accident, coincidence, or maybe the writers are trying to tell us something about the future of the show? While unlikely, I'd still like to leave it up for speculation.

Some ponies that I've noticed right off the bat are:

Rainbow Dash and Daring Do:

I honestly believe that Daring Do was just a recolor of Rainbow Dash. I would say that she was the long lost sister of Rainbow Dash, but as shown in Parental Guidance, you'd think if Rainbow Dash had another sibling, she would've been brought up...still. Something to think about. The writers always have a way of twisting plot for plot convenience. 

 

Moving on:

Starlight Glimmer and Aria Blaze

(I know that they are both humans in this but for comparison's sake.)

This is almost uncanny.  They also both have evil roots...the probability of them being related is certainly more likely than RD and DD. We haven't heard anything from the Sirens since they ran off the stage in humiliation at the Battle Of The Bands, so that means that they've fled, but not been defeated or destroyed. This means they're still out there. If we're assuming that Hasbro is going to seal up this plot hole, then there may be a chance that Starlight and Aria's similarities will come to light.

 

 

Is there anypony else that you've noticed?

Could they be related?

Moondancer's designer said that she wanted Moony to look like Twilight who had stayed in Canterlot and made no friends.

In fact, many background ponies (and some minor characters) are recolors, especially in the earlier seasons. Some examples:

Rainbowshine and Orange Swirl:

 

Bon Bon, Shoeshine, Luckette:

  

Waiter ponies:

Clones were a common occurence back in the early seasons.

2 Bon Bons:

2 Minuettes:

Some people have a headcanon that those were changelings.

I think it's just the developers saving materials. That's why Daring Do and Rainbow Dash look alike.
