Re: Off-Season General Show Chat
It's hard to measure her knowledge of magic now given that she's near-exclusively stayed in Dougworld since she first got there.

I mean, she says that but then she flies to like, the north pole to find Spitfire in that same episode

Yeah, I was gonna say this. Fluttershy doesn't just have the Stare, her talent for talking with animals also counts as a pretty unique ability. And as for Pinkie, it hardly stops at Pinkie Sense; she's a living toon. She does things that just don't happen anywhere else in ponydom.
In fact I think Rarity and Applejack both being the only "normal" ones really lends to the picture you get of the two of them being actual day-to-day "adults" more than any of the rest. Business owners, heads of household, just people who struggle through the daily grind, not always excelling but always striving. If they'd been superheroes too I think the show would have lost something of its resonance with me.

As far as other ages go, there were 21 candles visible on Rainbow Dash's birthday cake in Pinkie Pride, but it was a massive cake and it could've had more candles from an angle that we couldn't see, so we can't say for certain how old she is. We also know that Sweetie Belle is definitely much older than five years old since we saw her fifth birthday in For Whom the Sweetie Belle Toils.
