Are we confessing pony allegiances? :-P

Apple Bloom is actually tied with Fluttershy for my favorite. :anticipation: :modesty:
I just focus on AB because she doesn't have as many fans, and I'm sure that's what Fluttershy would want anyway.
:flutterdear: : It's true...

Regardless, Team yellow horse all the way!

I'm a little bit surprised you would find common ground with those two. Apple Bloom is so loud, so outgoing, so excitable that she really seems like a far cry from Fluttershy.

Lyra disagrees. She's one of the only background ponies with a real personality! :crack:

It can be fun to watch somebody high-energy like that, even if you aren't. :allears:
Besides, I like AB's somewhat neurotic, slightly panicky personality. :flail:

Her personality is interesting, but I find myself feeling sorry for her more than anything. As in, I hope she can quit worrying so much about her looks and her cutie mark and such, and focus more on her friends (even Twist).

Overall I've found that I tend to rank characters primarily based on the amount of love and empathy they show for others. That's why my favorites list (Fluttershy > Pinkie Pie > Applejack > Rarity > Twilight Sparkle > Rainbow Dash) is the way it is, as well as why Sweetie Belle eventually came to be my favorite of the CMC.

This pony's actual name is Amethyst Star. Honestly, I'm surprised anyone these days still calls her Sparkler, even though she looks nothing like her G1 counterpart.

Really? Well that's the first I've heard of that name. I was always told it was Sparkler.

Anyway, if we're doing the list thing, here's mine (To be fair, you know so I don't list Rarity over and over, I'll only list each character once):

There was also a G3 pony in the yard next to Princess Kenny's "throne" in the episode. The whole thing was more of an anime magical girl joke than pony joke.

Eh, that seems more like a generic unicorn then a MLP pony. I guess I can kinda see a cutie mark, but I don't know if it was intentional.

Yeah, I thought it was more a reference to "magical girl/princess" kind of anime, with a unicorn, than an actual MLP reference itself. Still was a good episode though. :v:
