Still, it proves my point that the writers forget about past episodes. That scene was added in the storyboard stage as a hasty plot-hole patch-up.

And can people please quit bringing up the "rushed" BS excuse? The production time was shorter because there were fewer episodes, and again, it doesn't take long to write a script for a show. :-/

A new writer writes a character into a script by mistake and, instead of Meghan McCarthy editing it to refer to one of Pinkie's existing sisters, the entire gang (down to the animators and even G.M. Berrow) rolls with it? Or the mysterious existence of Pinkie's third sister was planned from the start, possibly as a Hasbro mandate?

Forget or not adding an older sister doesnt mean they forgot about the other 2. Why wasnt she in the initial flashback in S1? Well maybe she was out delivering rocks and didnt get home till near the end of Pinkies party, maybe she slept in, maybe she just didnt care for the party but the pie parents made her take a family pic at it anyway. Take your pick. Pinkie having an older sister isnt the same as forgetting about A baby pheonix, hell the pets existance as A whole is often forgotten, where was Wiynonna in last weeks ep? Why wasnt feed the dog on ABs list of chores? Why didnt AJ utilize her in the Bats! Episode!?

But im rambling, so I digress. Personally I dont see Pinkie having an older sister as A bad thing.

No Really. :v:

My point was is just because she wasnt in the Flashback doesnt mean her existing is A bad thing or that they forgot about the other 2 sisters.

I think Pinkie might be adopted :v:



When Pinkie was born Mr. Pie looked at Mrs. Pie oddly for a good long time. But after reviewing their family records, it turns out that the pinkness comes from her father's side, and the frizzy mane is from her mother's.

All in all, Pinkie is a giant walking cocktail of recessive traits! :P

It would be kind of neat if she was kind of like a female Strong Sad in pony form. She's already a shade of grey.

Well, there's been Pinkie Pride, Pinkie Apple Pie and now Maud Pie. That list of joke synopses from twitter even made fun of it, mentioning Pinkie's season arc and how she became the Princess of Pie :-P

How does Maud compare to the other members of Pinkie's family in terms of color palette? Are we supposed to read her as "plain" or is she more of an outlier like Pinkie? :ponder:

Maud can't make friends easily because she's so sarcastic and withdrawn. Applejack teaches her to be honest about her feelings. Key item acquired, her hair explodes into a rainbow wig, party all night, etc.

Now that I've seen her, I did get a bit of a Harshie vibe. Maybe she is like a mini-Harsh. :party:

She also reminds me a bit of Raven. It would be cool if Tara did her voice. :-I

Yeah, they're slightly shrunken compared to the rest of the mane six, which could mean a number of things, though mostly of 'surprise' which suggests Pinkie either wasn't expecting Maud, Pinkie isn't exactly happy Maud is here (usually when she is happy to see somepony, her eyes dilate wide), or both.
