Main: Applejack. I grew up and currently live in the country. Although I'm not really country, I do enjoy the outdoors and fishing and whatnot, though. And also I do not have a country accent.

 

Secondary: Coco pommel. Cute voice, cute mane. That's all I gotta say.

 

Tertiary: Octavia. I like her mane and color scheme and her little bow tie tops it all off. And I like her in fan interpretations.

Dude! I could swear the second and third poles have characters that could be in the first poll, and it looks like te first poll was least voted! Any ways, it was close for me between Rainbow Dash and twilight. Then Luna

Wut? But you're right??? :blink: How is that possible? One must vote on every poll to validate his vote.

EDIT: Actually, multiple choices are allowed on the 2 other polls.

Uh oh. The fundamental laws of the universe have been changed! The fabric of reality is ripping appart! :gets a dimension jumping machine: Nothing to do here! : jumps into another dimension:

 

 

Serious version of the answer:

Other polls have more options. I guess it's just the appearance...

(NOTE: I still have about 40 episodes to watch so what I say may cause a few faceplams. Any injury this posts causes is not intentional)

 

Oh I picked Trixie. As a secondary character I think the implied depth to her is something that should continue to be explored when appropriate. Maybe I'm just reading to much into the tapestry, but oh well.

 

As far as the Mane Six, I find that question to be more difficult to answer as I continue to watch. I always enjoy characters who really struggle with decisions and moral dilemmas. Rarity is growing on me since her key episodes highlight these struggles better than I would have though with a typical 'diva' character. More importantly, she seems slower to come to the right decision. What started out as a character I expected to dismiss out of hand, might very well become my favorite.

 

DJ P0N3 if I focus on the show proper.

Derpy if you consider fan created content.

 

Found it! I just wanted to see how my views have changed as things moved around in five months. I kinda freaking called it.

 

It's so sureal seeing your ideas at their genesis and the moment that they start to evolve -- all capture in a snapshot. At this point I was still obviously a bit off on the character analysis. I also had part of that old 2011 me in there calling Rarity a diva (even if it is in quotes). Eventually my views on her would find cohesion, but still I keep digging up more to like.

 

It's funny how I say key episodes not knowing about the actual freaking 'Key' episodes since I really hadn't seen Season 4 yet.  

 

So yeah 'Me from the past', you were right. Rarity did become your favorite. The secondary character though ... that changed big time. It was Trixie originally, but Scootaloo overtook her the moment the credits on Flight to the Finish rolled. Trixie also needs to watch out for Coco. And my daughter kinda won me over a bit more with Derpy ... but Vinyl and Octavia are still up there.

 

So yeah ... changed my vote. :D

I have 3 favorite characters but If I have to pick one it would be Twilight she has the most in common with me and a good personality. I always been a fan of Twilight when I first seen the show but when I realize how she was I like her even more! This is just my opinion some of you might not like her. :wacko: Twilight_Sparkle_Earth_pony_ID_S2E01.png

I like Rainbow Dash because she reminds me alot of myself when I was a kid! (Not very girly I was more of a tomboy, had an attitude problem every now and then, very impatient etc you guys get the picture!)

Imma going to see my past self again soon. Yay

 

This would be too long a TL;DR post to hit all of the points. But I'll bullet point a few big ones.

 

  • She is an artist in the classical sense, not just a fashion designer
  • She has become the meta voice of the show
  • Her V/A Actor and Singer are uncommonly talented
  • Her stand alone episodes are tightly crafted stories
  • There is tons of implied but not stated character depth
  • Relationship with other characters are all realisticlly portrayed
  • She proudly wears her emotions out on the open, rather than hide her true self
  • She is quite magnanimous
  • Memes are hilarious (marshmallow, snuggle, crabs)
  • No matter what happens to her, her world view remains optimistic and she continues to dream
  • She is one of the two tangible dreamers in the show
  • She is a self made mare and perfect role model for a yound child
  • She represents how you can tear down a stereotype and rebuild it as something of substance
  • represents a classic era of film and lierature (Audrey Hepburn)

Mine is Derpy.

I'll just quote myself...

 

Nopony is perfect.

But Derpy is the best. I love everything from her: her color scheme, her voice, her appearance in The Last Roundup, she's a very original character because of her eyes, she's cute, she's present in almost every episode which is rare for a background character: she's somehow a Waldo character (for example I loved when she was watching Boneless in Pinkie Pride img-2811363-1-Derpy_boneless_cropped.png...). A more personal reason: because she's not a main character, seeing her in The Last Roundup or Rainbow Falls was very surprising in a good way.

There are many other reasons I can't think of right now.

Derpy is the embodiment of innocence. Every accident she causes happens because she just doesn't know any better. Her simple-minded nature is highly appealing to me.
She's carefree, which sometimes crosses over to carelessness, but she never does this on purpose. That's the way she is, and I find it endlessly endearing and ungodly cute.
I also adore her colour scheme, her crossed eyes, and her voice which I fell in love with immediately after first hearing it. 
She's my own, personal Element of Innocence and Goddess of Purity.

Pinkie Pie used to be my favorite pony. She is everything I want to be. Outgoing, bubbly, bouncy, optimistic. I looked up to her as a kind of role model I suppose. I still love her, but my opinion on favorite pony swayed during the 4th season.

 

Now my favorite pony is Twilight. she is so adorkable. I love it :wub: Her obsessive need to pass every test, her fear of failing and dissapointing really resonates with me. I have a major ocd issue, I make a bunch of lists all the time to keep on schedule. I totally get the whole socially awkward but discovering how amazing friendships can be.

Twilight is a reflection of me, with her calm nature, intelligence and overall style.

However I also have traits from all the other ponies as well, just a bit.

 

yet, I never felt scared of tests, I just owned them in the 'cool' way :)

 

and rarity is my second favorite, its sad to see her get crushed in the poll haha :)

I'm tired. I'm tired of being sad. I'm tired of never fitting in. I'm tired of having social anxiety. I'm tired of having no friends. I'm tired of being tired.

Hiya @Blazen Flame, , and , just letting you know that I've merged your threads with a pinned one that we have for talking about our favorite characters and why we like them so much :). My favorite's always been Rainbow Dash. I enjoy her feisty and goofy personality, for one, but that's just the beginning. I also love all the conflicts that she has to go through. She's a character who dreams big, but cares about her integrity and doing the right thing even more than any of her fantasies of glory and success. She's an egotistical pony who wants to be the best, but she's also a pony who's very afraid of not being good enough. She's very self-centered, but her element is all about dedication to others and she's more than willing to rise to the occasion.

 

She's had some damn good character development without losing anything that made her appealing in the first place too, and I'm looking forward to seeing it continue :D

I'd have to go with Big Mac. From what we've heard from him, he's short and concise in his speech, and blessed with the gift of fancy mathematics. What more could you ask for? :mellow:
