Pony that's not your fav, but is your ___?

[Khoufu 55]

What are any ponies fhat are important to you, but you wouldn't really say are your "favorite"?

For example, my favorite ponies are G1 Chief, G3 Waterfire, and G1/G4 Applejack, but I'd say that G1 Firefly is my hero, G2 Skyskimmer was my first pony, G1 Cutiesaurus is my holy grail, etc.

 

What about you? Do you have a hero, a first, a crush, an avatar, kin, ideal friend, leader of your herd, etc. that you don't really attach the word "favorite" to?

While Rarity is my favorite pony, I love Derpy and, for whatever reason, Essence is one of my all-time favorites. There’s just something stylish yet simple and perfect about her.

Essence and I would be besties for sure.

Fluttershy is my favorite, but I definitely relate to Twilight as well.

While she isn't my number one favorite of all-time, Twilight Sparkle,

Rarity* and I both share a love for creativity and making our friends happy by giving gifts etc. 

*My second favorite.

I relate a lot to Twilight even though she isn't my favorite. Bonus points for being purple!
