Which of the following three could be changed most easily?

[Xievie 498]

Well, I've noticed there were three antagonists that were very infamous.

 

These three are: Diamond Tiara, Gilda the Griffon, and The Great and Powerful Trixie

 

I want to see who you think the most appropriate group (such as CMC to Diamond Tiara or Twilight and the mane 6 to Trixie) could have the most ease in changing the attitude of one of the three.

Misspelled 'changed' in the poll.

 

And I would think maybe Trixie. Gilda thinks everyone is uncool and probably won't come back around unless she really starts to miss Dashie. And even then you gotta actually do something to make her see that coolness isn't everything. Diamond Tiara is gonna take a helluva lot to change.

So I'm sticking with Trixie. She did nothing but boast a whole lot. That should be quite easy to fix.

Trixie.Because Griffon and Diamond Tiara can't be changed.I mean they can change,but they are really hard to change.And thats why Trixie is the easiest to change.

[NavelColt 22,883]

Probably Trixie. But, I would much rather Gilda personally, even if it might take a little more convincing on Dash's part with her, since she has a lot more potential for Dash back story to be revealed using her, whereas Trixie is just a stand-alone antagonist.

[Driz 1,552]

Trixie all the way~

 

Not only the easiest to change, but the one I want to change as well. After her episode's end, I could already see a new episode where she comes back and apologizes for everything. I mean, she's just a little show-off, that's all. She could totally become a better viewed character with a little further development. I don't think she's more annoying than Diamond Tiara anyway, and I don't personally like Gilda, so yeah...

[Devious Detonation 442]

Definetly, Diamond Tiara. Because she is just a kid, and very naive, easily convinced that the lie is a truth.

Guilda would just be a little harder... She needed togo to a reabilitation center, and stuff like that.

Finally, Trixie. She's impossible. Her ego is just tremendously enourmous. Impossible to change.

[Titan Rising 2,156]

I would say Gilda because Trixie and Diamond Tiara are obsessed with themselves where as Gilda is obsessed with being cool. Or to put it another way, Gilda is status-obsessed and Trixie/Diamond are self-obsessed/care only about themselves

[silvadel 1,393]

Trixie -- She just needs some friends. I mean consider if she were sent to Ponyville at the beginning of episode 1 instead of twilight -- how things would play out. She isnt bad. She just needs....

 

Gilda on the other hand is perfectly fine in her mind in herself. The whole episode kind of took her by surprise. Who knows, the kind of behaviour she shows could be typical of griffons. Hence I think she would be hard to reform even though she may have been shocked into a first small step.

 

Diamond Tiara would need massive trials and tribulations and other things to change. I don't see it happening despite her age -- at least not any time soon.

[murkyx 904]

I actually think that Trixie is more likely to become a bit contentious and fall down a darker path a bit out of spite before turning around. *cough*season3spoilers*cough*

 

Diamond Tiara actually is very unstable in terms of emotional satisfaction as she relies on her friend Silver Spoon, control over other ponies, and material possessions for happiness, so it would simply require a humbling experience, like her father going bankrupt, to get her to hit rock bottom and realize what really matters. (Both for this and Trixie would make for outstanding episodes)

 

Gilda would be the hardest to switch around. She would need a total lifestyle change, which I don't see coming anytime soon, unless Rainbow Dash's words really got to her and she misses her.

Id say Gilda. I could imagine her being changed to not be such a jerk.

Second place, Trixie.

Third place, Diamond Tiara. Shes too much of a brat to be changed.

[Spatsi 151]

First place - Trixie. She's not evil after all. She's only self obsessed, that can be fixed easily.

second - Diamond Tiara. She's still only a child, so her personality isn't fully formed yet.

third - Gilda. I don't know why, but she seems to be unchangeable to me.

[Dusty Soul 2,614]

I would say Diamond Tiara, because she's just a child and she has yet to grow beyond petty insults... Her father goes broke and she looses her false fame, and then in turn becomes nicer.

[Page Turner 607]

I'm going to have to go with Trixie here, Even in just her one episode she showed signs of insecurity, and I think it is entirely possible that after she left, she thought about it and realized they were right, as Twilight herself said, "let her go, maybe someday she'll learn her lesson."

[SongBrony 419]

I say Diamond Tiara mainly because while she is a bully, she is still a kid. Get her dad involved with the CMC and Fluttershy and boom! She changes. At least that's how I could see it

[Rarietty 632]

Trixie, mostly because it's easier to learn that you're hated for bragging than being hated for being a flat out jerk for no reason. Trixie was only doing her job.

 

It's extremely easy to create a sob-story for Trixie too. For example, say her cutie mark didn't represent magic but it represented showmanship. Essentially, showing off is the thing she's talented at, and she so good at it that it comes off as bragging to most ponies. All she wants to do is be respected and adored. Her snobby sounding voice doesn't help.

 

Gilda is somewhat changeable, just because her meanness seems to be fueled on her jealousy of Rainbow's friends and that can be overcome, I guess.

 

Diamond Tiara on the other hand just seems to be a jerk for the sake of being a jerk. I'd like to see her get character development (gee, I've never said that about I character I can't stand)to show the reason she's so mean to Apple Bloom, say her being jealous of her (maybe because Apple Bloom's family is more awesome than hers?) or maybe because of something that happened before the show takes place.

[Starshine 16,335]

This thread pleases the Great and Powerful Trixie

 

---

 

Gilda is a flat-out jerk, who only befriend RD because she knows how to fly real fast. It looks like she only see other ponies as a prey. Not really sure whether Diamond Tiara is a jerk because she was molestedspoiled by her father or just being insecure, but it's clear she won't change her personality any easier than a tree to participate in Marathon.

 

Trixie all the way!

[XUNUSEDXXX 3,459]

Trixie for sure. She even admitted to being a liar, which is a step forward. Gilda couldn't believe RD set up those pranks and bailed, and DT is just... well snobby. But DT is still a kid so only time can tell.

[Zygen 6,066]

I would kinda think diamond tiar would be the easist to change since shes the youngest. However I don't think any of them are really going to be easy by any stretch. Plus I don't really know if I really want them to change.

 

I don't really care for gilda. Trixie is fine in my book and diamond tiar to. I just really don't like something about gilda. I also think shes least likely to show up since diamond tiar will always atleast be around at school with the CMC and trixie just seems more likely.

Gilda doesn't seem like she'd ever return though. And I don't mind because I personally don't like her for somereason. Again i dunno why.

 

Wow I got a bit off topic there. Sorry.

[Regality 233]

I think Trixie has the most potential. Plus it's almost confirmed she'll be in Season 3 at some point, so I have a feeling that we'll see her character go through some changes. Also, I have this feeling, and it's most likely just wishful thinking, but I almost suspect she might eventually become a new main character.

 

Mane7? Probably not, but maybe, just maybe...

I changed my mind once I pressed Gilda. I would like Diamond Tiara. I hate her name. I would love it if Trixie returned being evil again. That would be awesome.

[Homura Akemi 974]

Diamond Tiara. Come on, she's just a kid. Child's behavior can change into adulthood. I could see Apple Bloom and her being friends when the show ends when Tiara ends up maturing. Who knows? She may be hiding something and is jealous of AB's family.

[karizake 6]

Trixie has the best potential for character development. Her story was cut a little short, and Twilight's comment made it seem she would come back for a redemption episode.
