Mane 6 favorites in order

[Shawn Parks 1,798]

1.  Pinkie Pie

2.  Twilight Sparkle

3.  Rarity

4.  Fluttershy

5.  Applejack

6.  Rainbow Dash

 

 

I like to specify that I love all six.  This is just my preference of most to least favorite.  

[omnusus 52]

1. Twilight- Why? She's adorable and I can relate to her.

2. Pinkie- Why? She's random and I can relate to her, but a bit less than I can relate to Twilight.

3. Rarity- Why? Her breakdown when she was wallowing in whatever ponies wallow in is one of my all time favorite scenes, and she's always so dramatic.

4. Fluttershy- Why? Diabeetus, that's why.

5. Rainbow Dash- Why? She's cool, but I can't really relate to her.

6. Applejack- Why? I find her rather dull, and I can't relate to her.

[Blue Moon 6,341]

1. Fluttershy-So adorable! *squee* can relate to her.

 

2. Pinkie Pie-She is super funny and can sing. Also adorable. Can relate to her.

 

3. Twilight Sparkle-Interesting character, cute, reminds me of me.

 

4. Rarity-RARITY IS SO HILARIOUS. Also, she is best singer.

 

5. Rainbow Dash- Most iconic lines. Not too bad of a singer when she actually sings. She also stars in my favorite fanfic ever (My Little Dashie), but I don't really like her personality that much.

 

6. Applejack-Favorite design, love her accent, is a bit boring character though.

[Giegue 8]

For me, it would be:

 

Fluttershy

Applejack

Pinkiepie

Twilight

Rarity

Rainbow Dash

 

For me, I just found Rainbow Dash's arrogance to be rather off-putting. While Fluttershy is my favorite, Pinkie and Apple are tied.

[Ficta_Scriptor 165]

1. Applejack (Honest, hard-working and cares for her family dearly. If I was a pony in Ponyville, I'd want AJ to be my best buddy. And since she works so hard because she wants to make her parents proud... Sorry, had something in my eye)

 

2. Fluttershy (By far the cutest of the mane six. Don't say you could ever turn down a Flutter-cuddle. That important job interview or hospital appointment can wait)

 

3. Twilight (Intelligent, nerdy, and also a bit crazy. Would be higher but she treats Spike like a b**** far too often)

 

4. Pinkie Pie (Terribly happy but with a dark past. Can be a bit OTT sometimes though)

 

5. Rainbow Dash (Cool, but far too arrogant)

 

6. Rarity (There's no way this pompous c***tease would be anywhere but dead last)

[Telegraph 115]

1 Pinkie Pie. Even though this season, she didn't really have a decent ep. I love her for her random though, and for her naivety and her sensitivity. Particularly like in the episode with the cakes and the episode with Cranky Doodle Donkey. Those are probably my 2 fav eps.

 

2. Rarity. She has really grown on me a lot throughout the seasons. All of her flaws have become endearing to me in some way, because she does have a good heart, and she means well. Suited for Success makes that clear.

 

3. Fluttershy. At one time, she was my fav I think. I find her shyness rather endearing, and I loved when she tried to flirt with the shopkeeper (I tell you right now, that would've worked on ME.) Also love when she asserts herself. She is an ah-dult in those situations. Mrs. Mom.

 

4. Apple Jack. Really, I think she's very close to the 3 above her as far as my opinions go. She's also a very endearing character. She's one of those strong, but vulnerable characters, and I love those characters. I also love any time she's put in an awkward situation, like in Spike At Your Service. Some people probably see it as out of character, since the whole time she's skirting around the truth so that Spike's feelings won't get hurt, but I like it, because she's obviously uncomfortable with it the whole time. It's cute.

 

5. Twilight. I like Twilight alright. She has her cute moments. Nothing really wrong with her.

 

6. Rainbow Dash. I used to really not like her, but as the series has progressed, she's gotten better I suppose. I just think she's pretty bratty and obnoxious.

[Hawk Moth 390]

1. Rainbow Dash: My favorite pony. I really connect with her, and everything she does makes me smile. She also exists as a great contrast to most of the other characters in that she isn't super girly and obsessed with cute, pretty things, which makes a great dynamic with the rest of the Mane 6.

 

2. Twilight: She's another character I can relate to. I've been in Lesson Zero situations before where I've been inconsolably stressed, freaking out on the edge of nervous breakdowns over academic situations, and when I saw that episode I said to myself, "Yup. I know exactly how she feels." Plus in terms of characterization she seems the most complex. I also find it great that she isn't a 100% straight mare and can be fallible and take falls just like the rest.

 

3. Pinkie Pie: A close contender with Twilight. She's not that complex in my opinion, but I just love her antics too much to care. "Too Many Pinkie Pies" and "It's About Time" are two of my favorite episodes, and other than "Baby Cakes" I love any Pinkie-centric episode. She's just so fun and ridiculous it's impossible for me not to like her.

 

4. Fluttershy: It pains me to put her so far down on the list because I don't dislike her in any way. I think she's great, actually. When I first began watching the show I didn't like her at all, finding her constant quiet cowardice annoying, but it's all endearing to me now. Just like how I enjoy Twilight's moments of not being a perfect voice of reason, I adore Fluttershy when she has those unexpected moments of assertiveness and anger. It makes her very unique in my opinion. She just isn't dynamic enough to go higher on the list.

 

5. Rarity: She's another character I didn't quite care for in the beginning. She seemed really two-dimensional and even quite callous at times, but now I find her to be quite hilarious and sweet. Tabitha St. Germain's voice acting sells the character wonderfully as well. I suppose she just isn't my type of character, but I don't begrudge anyone who loves her.

 

6. Applejack: Again, I don't hate her. I think my problem with AJ is pretty common in that we just don't see enough of her. There's also the fact that she just doesn't have any of the signature quirks the other mane ponies have. It doesn't hold her character back; in fact it makes her more realistic. The problem is that she's just less memorable in my opinion as a result. To reiterate though, I hold nothing against AJ fans. We all have our own preferences, and AJ for me is like vanilla ice cream. I'll choose other flavors over it, but it's still ice cream, and ice cream is fantastic!

[Loona 287]

1. Twilight Sparkle

2. Pinkie Pie

3. Rarity

4. Fluttershy

5. Rainbow Dash

6. Applejack

 

I dunno, Applejack just doesn't seem that great imo

[Powderpuff 390]

1. Applejack and Rarity - there is just no way I could choose between these two. I simply adore them both! 

3. Fluttershy

4. Rainbow Dash

5. Twilight

6. Pinkie Pie. Back in the end of Season 1 or beginning of season 2, Pinkie Pie would have been up at #3 or maybe even wrestling AJ and Rarity at an obnoxious three-way tie for first, but she's really dropped in my list, especially with this last season. I felt like she used to tread that line between hilarious and obnoxious wonderfully, and I really grew to love her during Party of One. But she is just unbearable recently, I just find myself wishing she would just go away.

 

Fluttershy, Rainbow and Twilight have rather fluid, shifting positions for me, but at the moment that's how I rank them. Applejack was my absolute favorite from the start, but Rarity charmed me in Season 1 and completely blew me away in Season 2.

 

I really do like them all (except Pinkie Pie, but hopefully they'll write her less annoyingly next season), but Rarity and AJ are way above the others

[Sir.Flutter Hooves 2,953]

1. Fluttershy: I just love her so much! I mean who couldn't!

 

2. Rainbowdash: A sick and awesome pony who can clear the sky in 10 seconds flat! How awesome is that?

 

3. Applejack: She gives the show the idea that women can run business to and I like that!

 

4. Rarity: She too gives the idea to little girls that you can be girly yet own a business.

 

5. Pinkie: Kinda annoys me, but I don't hate her.

 

6. Twilight: Just something about her, I don't know. I don't hate her, but I don't connect to her like I do the others! She's just too perfect.

[The Crystal Maiden 221]

I really do love ALL the Mane Six, but I'll give a little list:

 

1. Rainbow Dash

2. Twilight Sparkle

3. Fluttershy

4. Applejack

5. Pinkie Pie and Rarity tied.  

[MK15 68]

Mine:

 

1)Twilight Sparkle;

2)Fluttershy;

3)Rainbow Dash;

4)Pinkie Pie;

5)Rarity;

6)Applejack.

 

But actually I love them all (but Twilight for the life for me <3) 

[truth is life 76]

I like all the mane 6...that said, I can rank them to some extent.

 

1: Fluttershy, Rarity, and Twilight Sparkle.

     I tend to change my mind about which of these is my favorite overall often. Really, I like all three about equally, which is why I'm putting them up as a tie.

 

2: Applejack and Rainbow Dash

    Also difficult to separate, because I like them for different reasons. Applejack...well, to paraphrase myself on watching the first episode, "I like this pony because she talks like me!" Now, I like her for more than just that, but being a Texan has always been a core part of her appeal to me. Rainbow Dash, on the other hand (hoof), is just cool.

 

3: Pinkie Pie

     Not hard to explain this: I'm a major introvert, basically Pinkie's complete opposite. I don't think I could stand more than very small doses of her in reality.

[APonyToRemember 31]

Since you asked, I'll give you my answers; Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity in that order.

[8bitBrony 31]

1. Twilight Sparkle
2. AppleJack
3. Pinkie Pie
4. Fluttershy
5. Rarity
6. Rainbow Dash

 

I was never really a big fan of Rainbow Dash, and I really dont know why.

I guess compared to the other members of the mane 6 she just seem be my least favorite.

(But I still have love for Raindow Dash <3 )

[An Old Head 4,816]

The revision of my favourites list has not yet been added to this thread. Must have forgot to do it. Anyway, promotion for Applejack and Rarity.

 

1) Pinkie Pie

2) Jointly Rainbow Dash and Applejack

4) Jointly Fluttershy and Rarity

6) Twilight Sparkle

 

Applejack got a wave of newfound appreciation after I re-watched the whole series again a while ago. When I first became a Brony, she had been tied for first with Pinks. I now remember why; it's her human demeanour and faithfulness to fair play. I like that. So I've popped her next to Rainbow Dash as joint second favourite. (I noticed that I wanted AJ to win in the Running of the Leaves).

 

Similar story with Rarity; 80% of the reason for her being promoted to joint fourth is Secret of My Excess n.n I'd never looked past "drama queen" and "too finicky", but those are the traits that account for all of her humour moments in the end

[Righteous Fury 344]

Applejack

Pinkie Pie

Twilight Sparkle

Rainbow Dash

Rarity

Fluttershy

 

I like them all, but AJ's just the best character. Pinkie's great, they did a great job of making her a deep character without sacrificing her happy attitude and general weirdness. Twilight's just plain adorable. RD is adorable too, although slightly less so. I actually like Rarity's character a lot, but never felt too attached to her. Fluttershy's probably my least favourite because of her awkward and meandering character development, but she's still really cute.

[duidamasterXD 9,627]

My list has changed slightly, so I may as well post it.

 

1: Rainbow Dash

2: Pinkie Pie

3: Applejack

4: Fluttershy=Rarity

5: Twilight Sparkle

[~Chaotic Fireball~ 499]

1. Rainbow Dash, because I can identify most with her. Also, her overall character design is absolutely amazing!

 

2. Pinkie Pie, because I can identify with her second-best. Plus, who doesn't love the adorable little pink pony? (Not talking to Clarity )

 

3. Rarity. Recently I have learnt to appreciate her more for who she is, and while she is a very attractive pony, she also is very generous to her friends, and would do anything for them; and give up her spare time to help them when they are in need.

 

4. Applejack is kind of a neutral pony for me, since she has never really done much in my opinion. But I like her more than Twilight and Fluttershy, which is why she's 4th place.

 

5. Twilight Sparkle is at 5th place because although I like her personality and everything most of the time, I still can't get over the fact of her Alicornism. But don't get me wrong, I'm not hating on her because of her Alicornism, because I'm pretty sure she'll stay the same Twilight inside. There's just something about her and her new wings that makes my brain go 'bhdsbgchbsfkcfksvb'

 

6. Fluttershy. She's boring, in my opinion. While cute, she has never really done anything that makes her really stand out for me.

 

Come at me, Fluttershy fans

Edited April 9, 2013 by ~Chaotic Fireball~

[Stormwind 53]

I dont dislike any of them so this is a list of who i like the most to who i like the least.

 

1: Rainbow dash

 

2: Apple jack

 

3: Fluttershy

 

4: Twilight

 

5: Rarity

 

6: Pinkie

[Moog the Kvlt 1,460]

1. Rarity (She's got a girly flare, though she isn't really stuck up like most of the other "glam girls" that are in cartoons, which makes her unique and plus in my opinion some of the funniest moments were from her)

 

2. Rainbow Dash (She's very overlooked by many people out there, yeah she's a bragging little tomboy, but she's had some really great and enjoyable moments within the show, and she's a complete tomboy which is something that I seem to like inside characters)

 

3. Fluttershy (I used to really dislike Fluttershy, but then I realized that her simplistic self, is what makes her special, I wouldn't call her the most cutest out there like all of the other Flutterfans though I will say that she is a little cutie)

 

4. Twilight Sparkle (Not a huge fan of Twilight, though she has had her moments of shining, and a great color combination, I don't really know what else to say)

 

5. Applejack (I really can't get into her character at all, maybe it's because the whole country gal isn't really my thing at all and I never found her to be an enjoyable character, she's never had any really great moments at all to me, and I've never liked a single Applejack episode)

 

6. Pinkie Pie (Really not my type of character at all, I'm not into the whole using random nonsense as an act of comedy, it never did get to me at all, most of the things that she's said are really just plain stupid and make no sense at all, I understand that it's the way Pinkie Pie is, though that doesn't mean that I like it at all, yeah sure the occasional funny quote comes out of her, though I can't even name off a handful of when times that I found her to be funny at all.) 

Edited April 9, 2013 by Moog Phatty

[Sweet Dreams 1,893]

1. Pinkie Pie

2. Fluttershy

3. Twilight Sparkle

4. Rainbow Dash

5. Rarity

6. Applejack

I can relate a lot to Twilight and Fluttershy, but Pinkie Pie's still my favourite.

Pinkie's funny, energetic and social.

[Nature's Spell 526]

Ok I'll bite. I honestly like all of them in different ways.

 

1. Twilight

2. Fluttershy

3. Applejack

4. Rainbow Dash

5. Rarity

6. Pinkie Pie

[Zerobot 179]

Season 1:
Fluttershy

Rainbow Dash

Pinkie Pie

Twilight Sparkle

Rarity

Applejack

 

Season 2:
Pinkie Pie
Fluttershy

Rainbow Dash

Twilight Sparkle

Rarity

Applejack

 

Season 3:

Top Tier: Pinkie Pie

Middle Tier: Twilight Sparkle - Rarity - Fluttershy

Bottom Tier: Rainbow Dash - Applejack

 

In seasons 1 and 2 I found it easier to make a list from 1st to last, but now-a-days there's so many qualities I love about each pony that it's harder to place one above the other. For instance, Rarity is higher up because I love her entrepreneurship, but is that necessarily better than Fluttershy's adorableness or Twilight's character arc? Rainbow Dash and Applejack are bottom tier, but on this list bottom tier is pretty much exactly the same as middle tier, just very VERY slightly less. Applejack is a great character, but I enjoy the opposite of the spectrum more - the insanity of Pinkie. Rainbow Dash is also great, and to be honest I remember her being higher up on my recent list. I wonder what happened in the last few days to lower her.... Just kidding Dashie fans, she earned her best pony victory fair 'n square ;D

[Iridian 71]

1. Rarity

2. Fluttershy

3. Pinkie Pie

4. Applejack

5. Rainbow Dash

6. Twilight Sparkle

 

I don't dislike any of the Mane 6, really - they're all awesome in their own way, but Rarity has always been my favorite. I love her voice and she's just so fabulous! Fluttershy has a really great singing voice and she's just so nice that it's hard not to like her. Pinkie Pie and Applejack are both pretty hilarious, and Rainbow Dash is a really good flier but she's just not my favorite character tbh. Twilight is at the end of the list for no reason in particular. She isn't my least favorite pony or anything - she's actually the one I can relate to most. Maybe that's why.
