This goes in a profession for me. Because first I'm like: Well Twilight is my favourite. She's smart,cute,diligent. She's exactly the type of nerd I like. She has good values and try her hardest. A genuinely good pony. But then I see Fluttershy and how pure and gentle she is. A personification of kindness. Quite darling 

 

But then Maud. Her design,her voice,her deadpan nature. Maud is a Kuudere and those are my absolute favorite of the -dere types! Ahhh I love her I love you <3 

 

But what about Queen Chrysalis or Lyra or the loads of other beautiful characters? 

 

So it's like I got a fave but also not really I have a group of faves. That ends my babbling

Tricky thread. 

Pinkie has most depth of character for me and is closest to the Brony spirit I like :)

The secondary characters who have most to add are the ones whose characters shine in the show, like Discord and the Pie family. And also those characters who the fans have added most to like Bon.

As for tertiary characters, I have never really got on with Derpy, but I like the way they portrayed Octavia.

Student six is tough, but after speaking with Davyn, it's gotta be Ocellus :3

Rarity has pretty much been my favorite since the period between Season 2 and 3. To be honest I always found her character the most inspirational to me personally - always related to the 'creative' type, and she also really stood out to me on the basis of being a pretty common 'girly girl' trope at her core, but her character being developed to be so much more than that and was just... herself, more or less. Starlight Glimmer and Fluttershy are my other favorite 'mane' characters though, mostly on the basis of just being characters I can really relate to.

As for secondary characters, I chose a few in the poll, but I'd probably say my favorite is Trixie, which is funny considering I used to really dislike her. Guess after a while, her 'charismatic' attitude and personality grew on me, and her relationship with Starlight in S6-9 especially really helped me find more appreciation for the character in general. I also noticed Gilda wasn't in the poll, and I figured I might as well mention her since I always took interest in her character (and Griffons in general) and really liked her redemption arc in Lost Treasure of Griffonstone.

I don't really have a "favorite pony" as such, but as a mechanical engineer I have found myself drawn to Scootaloo - both as a pony with mechanical skills of her own and one who could stand to benefit from mechanical engineering.

Starlight - because she is the one who got me into the fandom and I related to her the most out of all of them. Rainbow, Twilight, Trixie and Maud are close. I also love Suri and Coco to boot.

What makes FiM so fantastic for me is the huge diversity of characters. For me to say to have one favorite piny would be kinda weird. I consider every character important, they all add to the greatness that FiM is.

My favorite pony is Rainbow Dash because in the story I am reading she is the bringer of harsh and all encompassing truths. She never gives up despite losing those close to her several times. She always finds a way to forge on and to never give into inner darkness. Like all mortals, she is capable of making mistakes (sometimes catastrophic ones), and she does not instantly win in every situation. In the show, I like her because of her immaturity and her eagerness to push others to become the best version of themselves.

My favourite main character is Applejack, my favourite secondary character is Starlight Glimmer, my favourite CMC is Applebloom, and my favourite background pony is Derpy Hooves. I can't decide between the young six though.

For Applejack, I don't usually like earth ponies. But I consider Applejack very special! For Starlight Glimmer, she represents a very interesting experience of my life. I consider Applebloom very cute, and Derpy Hooves cute and funny! For the student six, I don't really know, but I think I will go with Sandbar because he was the one brave enough to save his friends and spoil Cozy Glow's plan in the season 8 finale.

For many years it was Rainbow Dash. She was the first character that brought my interest towards my little pony and I related to her being being fairly athletic myself. 
Then for about two years it was Soarin, because he's my favorite wonderbolt and felt he should have been treated better in some episodes. Also helps that Matt Hill was a voice from my childhood. 

But now my favorite pony (and it's looking to stay this way) is Applejack!

Applejack to me is the perfect example of the pony I feel like I can relate too. Her character is simply too hard to ignore and I admire her being the pony holding the element of honesty. Being truthful and transparent has been something I emphasize myself as I don't like to live under a false image or tell others without the need for attention. And If someone asks for the truth, I ain't sugar coating it.


Applejack is also a prime example of hard work and serving for others. The one thing she doesn't display too often throughout the series is the appreciation toward oneself. She'd rather help the family and her friends first and then reaching towards herself. I myself take that to heart as someone who believes the greatest gift is to give. Holding value towards family is very important to me and seeing it displayed throughout the show makes me think of my family. 

 

And last but finally not least...She reminds me of working hard on the farm. My maternal side of the family are mostly farmers or work in agriculture so seeing some of her hard work on the farm reminds me of me going out to the ranch helping out activity with livestock, or having fun with friends riding dirtbikes or shooting some guns.
Plus she got countryisms like there's no tomorrow! 

So Yeah. Applejack is my favorite pony!

Fluttershy, in my opinion! She's so kind and caring... I love her. Also, Bright Mac, Braeburn, Princess Luna, and Yona. I have my different reasons, but it's either I liked their character designs or characters.

Top 3 for me would definitely be 

1. rainbow dash

2. Fluttershy

3. Applejack

Rainbow dash has a personality that relates well to mine,Fluttershy reminds me of my own shyness due to social anxiety,and Applejack is my ideal work ethic

For the mane 6 , I would have to go with either Twilight or Fluttershy. Both have amazing personalities and so it's hard to choose a favourite. 

Starlight would be my favourite secondary character, as I can relate a lot to her and the character development that she goes through is a meaningful one

My top is:
1) Celestia (one of the kindest princesses, loving her subjects like a mother)
2) Luna (for me a very mysterious character, but for dark nights and dreams I love)
3) Twilight (diligent student, joyful and very nice)
