Which of the Cutie Mark Crusaders Should Get Their Cutie Mark First?

[AppleCrackers 36]

In my personal opinion I would have to say... Scoots. Probably because she has worked the hardest out of all the CMC (Babs included) and has found a talent that she can properly excel at. Although I would like to see Sweetie-Belle get her Cutie Mark as she is my favourite from the CMC

 

What about you guys??

Babs should get it first

Not Apple Bloom since she's the "leader" of the group.

Yeah I would also say Scootaloo, followed by Sweetie Belle.

[MLPFanatic34 3,241]

I'd say either Scootaloo or Sweetie Belle, Babs I'd like to see as well, but off screen, speaking of Babs wonder if she'll be shown again soon, either in this season or next season.

[Ribbonfree 2,384]

It's a classic trope that the peusdo-outsider achieve the goal before the group does, so I think if Babs was brought back she'd have her's already and that would be the conflict of an episode. As for out of the mane group... I feel Applebloom is, by a slim margin, the most mature and hardworking of the trio, so I'd like to see her be rewarded appropriately.

They should all get their cutie mark at once. They all worked together, they should all get their cutie marks together. And it should indicate not only their special talent, but symbolize how they all worked together to achieve their goal.

[Scootalove 10,689]

They should get it at the same time, it shows that they worked as a unit to accomplish the one goal in which they have in common.

I think Sweetie Belle should get it first. Just because it'd be a nice little twist. And the CMC would have to deal with a member getting their cutie mark, and what it means for their friendship.

[Tabe 217]

Scotaloo should get a scooter as a Cutie Mark. It has been said before, and its pretty obvious. She is really badass on a scooter.

[Pastel 7,630]

They should get it at the same time, it shows that they worked as a unit to accomplish the one goal in which they have in common.

I guess that's what's going to happen...

But I'd widely prefer they get it separately in 3 episodes, so each episode really develop how they get it.

[Ianpiersonjdavis 513]

I think they should all get them at the same time in the series finale to wrap up their character arcs simultaneously since they're three best friends.

[ranul 132]

I would love for all 3 of them to get it at the same time 

but if I had to choose one it would be scootaloo 

[Something Floaty 1,334]

Considering the randomness and seeming uselessness of some of the cutie marks that the ponies of the show have had, I'm surprised Scootaloo hasn't gotten her scooter cutie mark yet. If ponies can get a snail cutie mark or a diamond tiara cutie mark, why not a scooter? 

 

I think we all know Applebloom is going to get an apple-related cutie mark whether she wants to or not. It's in her blood.

 

Sweetie Belle, I can see getting a cutie mark that might not be the same as her sister. Clearly, Rarity is a little more...shall we say, fancy, than her parents, who looked like the pony versions of the family who takes summer vacations driving around in an RV. I can see Sweetie Belle ending up more along the lines of her parents, since she's more willing to get dirty or do strenuous things, and she's never shown a huge interest in Rarity's type of things. I'd guess she ends up with a shop-owner-related cutie mark, like the Cakes or the fruit stand ponies, but for something a little more fancy. 

 

However, there is another option I like. Given how hard they work for their cutie marks and how young ponies are always being encouraged to do things that feel right to them, what if all three of them ended up being schoolteachers of a sort?

I think Sweetie Belle will get hers first and I agree that one of the shows should focus on still being a unit even though one has the mark and the other 2 are still waiting.  Then after that episode they can get theirs.

[Red Cedar 1,408]

Realistically, since their talents displayed so far are quite different from one another's having the mall get their marks at the same time would be unlikely. It would be good if they had one of them get theirs first and then see what that does to their friendship. Would the one who has theirs double their efforts to help her friends get theirs or would there be some friction?

 

Scootaloo seems most likely to get hers first. Since she seems to have a scooter or otherwise acrobatic-related cutie mark in her future she's the one most likely to discover it first as she's already always practising. Sweetie Belle would probably be next. Apple Bloom is probably doomed to be last like her siblings, if only because her home renovation cutie mark is likely to make her sister freak out again a la Somepony To Watch Over Me.

 

I would very much like to see their cutie marks resolved before the end of the series, though, so I hope the writers get enough warning of the show's end to make that happen.
