The mane six

In order from my favorite to least favorite:

1.) Rainbow Dash- She is just... well she is just awesome. I like her personality and I think by watching her be all loud and such, I have been more confident and less shy than I used to be. Plus she can fly which is just like the coolest thing ever. Her mane is pretty cool too. I mean its a rainbow. What could be better than a rainbow mane.

2.) Pinkie Pie- I do find her to be annoying somtimes thats why she isnt number one, but the 25th episode in season 1 I think really shows her personality. I think it also may have something to do with her childhood because well, we don't see her parents very often (Only in flashbacks/stories) and so she seems to be dealing with abondoment issues. Not that there is anything wrong with that but I mean, it gives her a lot of character. Her jokes and silly puns I find quite funny too.

3.) Tied: Rarity and Fluttershy: Well Rarity and Fluttershy both hold a dear place in my heart so thats why they are tied for third.

Rarity is probly (If you were to give them ages) the oldest of the mane six. She seems to be more sophisticated than the rest of them. Not that its a bad thing but it does seem like that to me. If you havn't noticed, she acts more like an adult. For example: She owns her own bussiness all by herself, she has to take care of her little sister, she gets put under a lot of stress (Sometimes) Etc. Anyways she has just this adultish personality that makes me like her. However I have noticed that the writers havn't really given her a lot of screen time and good writing. In season 3, she never got a single episode to herself which makes me hope that in season 4, the writers of the show will give her more oppertunitys to show her generosity and maybe give her better writing.

As for Fluttershy, I find her most to be like me. She is kind and sweet and can lose her temper if people make her angry at somthing. She is shy but she has a lot of character if you look at it from her friends perspective. The writiers I think have given her a lot of thought. If you think about her and Twilight seem to have the most impact on what the other characters do. Why shes not number one is well I just seem to like the others better, not to be mean...

5.) Applejack- Oh applejack. You used to be my favorite character. I don't know why but a couple months ago she struck me as annoying. Don't get me wrong I love her character but she just really got on my nerves. She does teach good lessons though and thats why she is not number 6.

6.) Twilight Sparkle- I'm sorry but it just really really really bugs me that she became an alicorn. Her personality is just not my style. Sure I love to read but I mean just her... I don't even want to explain it. Lets just move on.

Ok so tell me what your favorites are in the comments. I would love to hear them. :)

Seanthehedgehog My favorite is almost the same. 1. Rainbow Dash 2. Pinkie Pie 3. Fluttershy 4. Applejack 5. Rarity 6. Twilight I had Twilight's voice turn black, and she sounds like a man.

Canada24 For me, Twilight is first. I don't care if she's an alicorn and hated for it. It makes no difference whatever she is, she's still awesome. 2: Pinkie: so cute of a character 3: fluttershy 4: Applejack 5: Rainbow: There's times when I'm off and on about her. 6: Rarity:

DisneyFan333 Well I don't hate that she is an alicorn I just think the show, not that its bad, wont be the same... @Canada24

NocturnalMirage Hmm. I've got two lists actually. One emotional, one rational. The first one shows how I'm emotionally invested with a character. Derp... But this is not based on logic or reason, just my own subjective presumptions and interpretations. Emotional list: 1. Twilight (being the primary protagonist, the writers did well establishing emotional contact, I guess) 2. Pinkie Pie (she's so random and I like fun random stuff) 3. Rainbow Dash (she's just plain awesome, yet she never leaves her freinds behind) 4. Rarity (Tabitha's voice acting truly makes this character reletable to me) 5. Applejack (she's a hard working pony and I appreciate someone who's not afraid of work.) 6 Fluttershy (she's cute as hay and has her moments, but other than that...) Okay, rational list. This is based on facts and analysis of the show: how deep is the character, how much exposition we were given, how well the character traits are established, including the flaws, etc. basically how good the writers were. In that case my list goes like this: 1. Rarity (the deepest character, well written background, often challenges the stereotype of a "girly" character, and I agree on that she's the most sophisticated, adult-like pony in the show) 2. Rainbow Dash (Although her character has countless flaws - being cocky, arrogant, reckless - she shows a desireable amount of character development for example in Wonderbolt Academy (since her ultimate goal was established in the 1st episode of the show and she was willing to give it up for her friends) and Sleepless in Ponyville. 3. Tied. Twilight/Pinkie Pie (The same as RD. Good character development, but alot of inconsistancies and blurry parts, the birthplace of great headcanons. Also, The alicorn Twi concept is very risky. and I'm quite reluctant about it. I just hope the writers succeed on that.) 4.Fluttershy (She only gets in front of AJ, because she HAS the potential of character development, yet the writers don't seem to utilize it. Of course there are some examples, such as Dragonshy, Hurricane Fluttershy and maybe the Keep Calm and Flutter on episode. The problem is that the writers establish the traits of this character by her name... she gets away with it through three seasons, cos she's cute as hay.) 5. Applejack (No matter how I like her, the writers explored her character almsot entirely at the beggning of season one, for example in the Sleepover episode... I think there has to be a major change in the apsects of AJ for her character to evolve.) One more personal note: Out of the confines of the mane six, LUNA wins both my lists. :)
