MLP & Character Arcs: Predictions?

[Orablanco Account 3,707]

As the world spins on its axis and our human forms evolve ever closer to the Star Child at the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey, so too has our expectations of our animated programing changed. Right now, the big thing appears to be character development over the course of a series, even in shows that have a slice of life or stand alone story structure. Adventure Time is basically a coming of age story set in a world that is growing increasingly darker and more complex, Regular Show has a central cast of characters who have formed a friendship and new relationships over the last few seasons, and Gravity Falls is about two kids becoming more independent and (kinda sorta) mature as the mystery within the show becomes bigger in scope.

 

Character development is incredibly important to FiM, what with its themes of destiny, self discovery, and "friendship growing all the time". It's really interesting to see how each character has changed in attitude or perspective since the show began, and to try to guess what plans (if they exist) the writers have for the characters have in the future.

For me, that kind of stuff is really fun to discuss and hear other people's opinions on it. So basically, where do you think any of characters will be heading in the long run, or what do you think would be the best way to go with their arcs?
