Denim&Venöm 19,808 August 23, 2019 Share August 23, 2019 Looking at our latest badge gave me a thought. Should Gabby the Griffon have been in the student six instead of Gallus? I mean I kinda get why she wasn't. Her bubbly optimistic demeanor is a lot like Silver Stream. But maybe the cynical pragmatist role Gallus filled be given to a Hippogriyph instead? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BastementSparkle 20,334 August 23, 2019 Share August 23, 2019 I think Gallus kind of works better as a representative of Griffons though, the thing about Gabby is that she's totally different from what we've seen of Griffon culture generally. I feel like each of the Student Six is supposed to sort of represent their culture in general, and to maybe show us there's a bit more to each of them than what we think, and Gabby doesn't really fit that kind of idea. 3 Twilight is best pony.

I think they wanted to evoke thoughts of Princess Skystar with Silver Stream making Hippogriffs general personalities a little consistent. Gabby being sort of the atypical Griffin also doesn’t lend itself to having to learn many friendship lessons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I find Gabby's hyper personality grating at least she's not a stick in the mud like Gallus.

ggg-2 3,553 August 23, 2019 Share August 23, 2019 I say no. Gabby obviously has a good understanding of friendship, having befriended the CMC. Don't be a nerd. Join the herd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ganondorf8 11,444 August 23, 2019 Share August 23, 2019 In some ways, she would've easily fit in with the rest of the students. But, her personality and overall character could be described as being too good. As we saw with her appearance in season six, Gabby was good at just about everything, albeit, near perfection as opposed to good. That would've made her stand out too much compared to the other students. Also, Gallus personifies the typical Griffin while Gabby can be viewed as abnormal amongst them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavelColt 22,883 August 23, 2019 Share August 23, 2019 Unpopular Opinion: I like Gallus more than Gabby, because Gallus's personality is a tad more unique than Gabby's, which is basically Pinkie in a Griffin's body. Not to say I dislike her, but no I would not take her over Gallus for Student Six. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to say I dislike her, but no I would not take her over Gallus for Student Six. He’s a great character. I mean, four of the students have very distinct personalities and Gallus was one of the first I actually liked because he was easy to use as a possible catalyst for conflict. Sandbar and Ocellus have personalities but feel bland compared to Yona and the other three. Gabby works much better as a once in a blue moon appearance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Bolt 35,108 August 24, 2019 Share August 24, 2019 Gabby is a CMC, and that's the role she fits perfectly, and she seemingly knows more about friendship than Gallus...I don't think she has much to learn on that front really. ☆ My socials ☆ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepul-Coloratura 762 August 25, 2019 Share August 25, 2019 I think Gilda, Gabby, Gallus all together could make a fun episode. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brainstorm 4,113 August 26, 2019 Share August 26, 2019 Gabby the Griffon makes me laugh, she may not be part of the Student Six, but, she can still be part of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash In 22,737 September 3, 2019 Share September 3, 2019 While I like Gabby, she would already be a lot more aware about the lessons of friendship, which wouldn't leave as much to build upon. Not to mention that her personality is pretty simillar to Silverstream to begin with. Gallus works well, as his snide nature is a lot more fitting as a Griffin, in addition to having a lot of room for character development to build from. 1 At first I rejected the zero, but that was because I simply didn't understand it. Now I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
