What are the mane six to Princess Celestia??

 

Like what are they to her

[Snow 8,569]

My interpretation is that they are viewed one part as the good friends of her faithful student, and more importantly the new bearers of the elements of harmony, more so early in the series that is.

Hi @Azixa 

I'm moving this thread to MLP:FiM Canon Discussion. Be sure to use the MLP section when posting pony related topics!

Thanks!

I think she goes back and forth between seeing them as her students, and seeing them as "tools" to restore peace, or some kind of military squad/task force. Twilight is closer to a daughter to her though, in my opinion. 

I don't think she doesn't care about them, just that she's practical, and tends to use them to do things for her a lot more than she really is shown connecting with them on the same level as her and Twilight.

Princess Celestia is lazy as heck lmao

What are the mane six to Princess Celestia?

To quote Bart Simpson: "I didn't do it!". 

[Silver Wind 114514 66]

Somepony to spread friendships trough the nation. The next generation of rulers and a chance to retire.

Most important: weapons

[Sparklefan1234 180,766]

The Mane 6 are the Power Rangers to Celestia's Zordon and Spike is Alpha 5.😋

Princess Celestia is a very ancient and powerful, but more importantly, a very wise Alicorn. Wisdom is the quality which makes her a truly strong ruler. She knows its best if all ponies can learn and grow at their own pace and in their own ways. Friendship is how everyone can do that as individuals and as a group at the same time. So, whether it's using the Elements of Harmony to ensure that not too much magic gets concentrated in only 4 hooves too often, or giving somepony like Discord a second or third chance, or treating Princess Luna like only one bad day (not a thousand years of very lonely days) had just past, Princess C is always trying to build up everyone around her. Yes, the ponies see to it that Princess C looks beautiful and is treated like a Princess and she lets them do that because it makes them all very happy to do so. But that's not what Princess C cares about. Some rulers love to listen to the sound of gold coins going into their coffers. A ruler like Princess C prefers the sound of cheering and singing ponies each and every time.

So the Mane 6 were just 6 ponies who were ready, with Twilight Sparkle's leadership, to play several very important roles. They serve as a good example for all ponies in Equestria, but they also have what it takes to defend Equestria against very real dangers, or to solve tricky unexpected difficulties. Princess C wants all of her ponies to be able to solve their own problems and grow together, and the Mane 6 are her greatest effort to foster and to guide that.
