History WMG / MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicManeCharacters

In the Cutie Mark chronicles, it was suggested Rarity's special talent was gem-finding. However, she didn't actually recieve her mark until she'd incorporated it into the costumes and the play was successful, showing how her true destiny was fashion/being a seamstress. This would explain why when AJ recieves her cutie mark, she attempts to be a tailor instead of search for gems.

[[WMG:Rarity will get no more episodes with Applejack.]]

* [[JustForPun White Lightning?]]

[[WMG:Rarity only uses her first name for [[JustForPun branding]] purposes.]]

They're from a saccharine, sugary show tailored to little fillies that Rainbow Dash absolutely hated when she was a filly.

[[WMG: [[TrollingCreator The creators were trolling us]], and in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS9E26TheLastProblem series finale]] Applejack is married to Rarity.]]

** Rainbow's tone as she declares her defense of Flutters' honor is one of excitement to tell the story, not one of "courtly love". Also, 1: It's the crack of dawn and her best friend, whom she might feel is like a sister, just leapt in through her window and woke her up. 2: STILL GROGGY. 3: Flutters is a shy, timid pony. She's just waking up; Flutters' fur might just be messy, which I'm sure you can proceed to overthink or just strap your ShippingGoggles back on. Either way, your claims can be disproved with simple logic and a mind that isn't strapped down by stereotypes. Really, I'm sick of people making Rainbow a lesbian so much. It's preposterous. [[WordofGod Lauren Faust herself basically flipped a giant sign saying "Rainbow is Straight" when she commented on the Tomboy=Lesbian stereotype.]]

[[WMG:Rarity's [[SuperOCD OCD]] makes her an UnreliableNarrator.]]

* Dear god, this is Jossed HARD in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS9E4SparklesSeven season 9]]. It's Jossed so hard it goes UpToEleven. She finds him the most annoying person she has ever seen. She is fully aware he is obsessed with her in a creepy way (he doesn't actually care about or even like her...Rainbow is fully aware of what he wants and it makes her want to puke), and just being around him [[AbhorrentAdmirer makes]] [[{{Squick}} her]] [[BrainBleach nauseous]]. His presence bothers her so much that she doesn't even offer to be friends. The element of loyalty doesn't even want to be his friend, let alone anything more. That should say something. As for Fluttershy's parents thinking there's something there...well Rainbow and Fluttershy are ChildhoodFriends, they probably just assumed she would date Fluttershy's brother when they grew up. Parents expect and are naive about that sort of thing.

Both of their names the begin with the word "star",both of them created a spell that can swap cutie marks and are very powerful even by unicorn standards. Her inheriting the magical genes of the most powerful unicorn of Equestrian history would explain how Starlight was able to [[UpToEleven upgrade]] his Time Travel spell, and even rival [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/FriendshipIsMagicTwilightSparkle the Queen of Magic herself]].

[[folder: Rainbow Dash]]
[[WMG: Rainbow Dash will be paired with one of the Wonderbolts.]]

[[WMG: Gilda and Rainbow Dash had a romantic thing in flight school.]]

* Going on from that idea, Gilda was bullied at flight school too and her attachment to Rainbow grew from that. She has the same massive chip on her shoulder as Rainbow does only much worse, and is pointlessly aggressive to everyone save for her. Makes me wonder if they didn't have some kind of 'You and me against the world, screw the system, not gonna get us' kind of thing going, and that Rainbow might not have returned the feelings back then out of simple camaderie and desire for affection. The problem is that Rainbow Dash has since acquired some actual CharacterDevelopment and realised the whole world ''isn't'' out to get her, and that she doesn't have to project this bitch queen persona to defend herself (within reason, this is Rainbow 'I'm awesome, yay me' Dash). Unfortunately Gilda... hasn't.

[[WMG: There was a truly spectacular Rainbow Dash/Pinkie Pie fight offscreen during "Party Of One".]]

* Suddenly, it's Sugar CRUSH CORNER! Rainbow has to fly back to the Library ... which becomes the Fortress of Knowledge! [[VideoGame/MetalWolfChaos PINKIE PIEEE!!]]

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash is related to Princess Celestia in some way.]]

[[WMG: The Sonic Rainboom is powered by the element of loyalty.]]

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash is a trans mare.]]

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash has a monochromatic sibling.]]

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash had a [[LesYay serious crush]] on Fluttershy back in summer flight camp.]]

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash is nowhere near the fastest flier in Equestria.]]

[[WMG: "Rainbow Dash" isn't her real name / Rainbow Dash is a natural blunette/violette with really girly hair.]]

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash can only go '''slightly''' faster than the speed of sound, not Mach five, three, or even two.]]

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash is a faster flyer than Fluttershy, but Fluttershy is more powerful.]]

[[WMG: The [[UsefulNotes/NuclearWeapons mushroom cloud]] that occurred when Dash demolished Applejack's barn in "Lesson Zero" was ''not'' an atomic explosion or its equivalent.]]

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash will set up an annual rivalry with Princess Luna that will have them pranking each other every Nightmare Night]]

[[WMG: There will be a solo song for Rainbow Dash.]]

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash will have to deal with feelings of rivalry towards Scootaloo]]
We already know that Scootaloo can put out a ''ridiculous'' amount of thrust; she's capable of towing the combined weight of all the Cutie Mark Crusaders plus Pinkie Pie at ludicrous land speeds without looking like its any particular effort for her. Once Scoot learns how to get proper lift as well as thrust, she's going to fly like a ''rocket''. And Rainbow Dash, who's been encouraging Scootaloo the whole time, will have to suddenly confront feelings of jealousy as her young sort-of-protege is suddenly busting her air speed records (unless Rainbow Dash uses the Sonic Rainboom, of course, but Dash doesn't want to be a one-trick pony in the air). Possibly this could be ameliorated by Dash still being more ''maneuverable'' (as Scootaloo is also probably going to corner like a lead brick on a roller skate), but the basic moral challenge for Rainbow Dash will still be the same; can you be satisfied with just being one of the best, or do you have to be ''the'' best? Can you take pride in being the best at some things or do you need to be the best at ''every'' thing related to what you do? And if the latter, how can you do that at the expense of being jealous of your own student, and somepony who completely idolizes you?

* That's assuming Rainbow Dash is secure enough in herself not to let her ego be bruised by Scootaloo's overshadowing. Previous episodes inidicate that she isn't.

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash wouldn't be a ''bad'' sister - just a very, very ''dangerous'' one.]]

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash has only just begun tricking people after "The Mysterious Mare Do Well"]]

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash is constantly training to compensate for past failures]]

[[WMG: When Rainbow Dash has her total psychotic breakdown, it will be the most destructive of all.]]

[[WMG: Zap Apples are connected to RD]]

[[WMG: Dash is related to [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime Lady Rainicorn]]]]

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash is just too young to join the Wonderbolts]]

[[WMG: The reason Rainbow Dash can never get any cider is that she just doesn't want it badly enough.]]

[[WMG: Rainbow will attempt to write Daring Do Fanfiction.]]

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash will get a "very special somepony."]]

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash is uncomfortable around those that could be considered "disabled".]]

[[WMG: [[MemeticMutation "20% cooler!"]] will become Dash's CatchPhrase.]]

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash has a surpressed form of Asperger's Syndrome.]]

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash was one of the ponies who teased Fluttershy about her flying in flight school.]]

** This could be like in Community's "Advanced Dungeons and Dragons" where [[spoiler: Jeff gave Neil the moniker of "Fat Neil" just to distinguish him from two or three other Neils. Everyone kept making fun of him and Jeff feared he could kill himself and wanted to make amends]].

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash is the last descendant of an ancient race of special Pegasus.]]

[[WMG: The Wonderbolts would accept Rainbow Dash into their ranks, but they don't want her to lose heart.]]

[[WMG: The reason Rainbow Dash often takes naps during the day is because she works more often than any of the others.]]
Celestia may have to raise the sun each day, but the pegasi control the weather basically manually. Perhaps they wake up earlier than all the other ponies to move all the cold nighttime air out or perform some other early-morning weather manipulation. In fact, considering that keeping the weather going is the pegasi's job, one might wonder when RD actually gets any sleep. When she goes on shift, it messes with her circadian rhythm so much that she has no difficulty dozing off in the middle of the day. It's the same principle as Applejack with her family's apple orchard, but since we see the series more from the [[{{Muggles}} earth pony]] perspective, we see a lot more of Applejack's handiwork firsthand than RD's.

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash doesn't want to be a Wonderbolt.]]

[[WMG: The original Sonic Rainboom was a fluke, and she wasn't actually able to ''really'' do it until the Young Fliers' Competition.]]

[[WMG: The reason that Rainbow Dash hasn't gotten into the Wonderbolts...]]

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash will eventually [[RageBreakingPoint lose her temper]] with Fluttershy.]]

[[WMG: The branch of the Wonderbolts Dash is currently in is the Reserves.]]

[[WMG: Who are Rainbow Dash's parents?]]

Father? While it’s possible Daring could have had romantic interest with any stallion that adventured with her, Dash just seems a little more supernatural than any other Pegasus. It’s possible that Daring encountered more than lost relics in those ancient temples (i.e. Deities). So who does this troper believe is Dash’s father? Quetzalcoatl, Mesoamerican god of light (Rainbows), mercy and wind (flight).

* All jossed. Her parents are named Bow Hothoof and Windy Whistles, and they show up in season 7. They are regular pegasi living in Cloudsdale, and they are HappilyMarried. Her hair color is natural (coming from her dad). She got her coat and eye color from her mom. Rainbow's abilities don't come from a special family or deities, they just come from hard work, loyalty, and determination.

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash has [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_apnea sleep apnea]].]]

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash has a [[WellDoneSonGuy WellDoneDaughterGirl]] relationship with her parents.]]
This is just a personal theory, but it would go a long way to explaining why Rainbow Dash is so afraid of failure and thinks SecondPlaceIsForLosers- maybe her parents are/were a flying elite too and she desperately wants to impress them and make them proud of her, which is why she indentifies with Scootaloo so much in "Sleepless in Ponyville" and why she puts on the tough front that she has. Perhaps Dash's father wanted a boy and Dash abhors "girly" things because of this?

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash will become a Princess.]]

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash is a Type-A StepfordSmiler]]
She's just like Eddy from ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy.'' Think about it. She went through a lot of bullying in the past as a filly just like Fluttershy and she only acts prideful and like a jerk sometimes because she’s trying to hide how depressed she really is, especially when she felt doubtful in the episode “[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E16SonicRainboom Sonic Rainboom]]” because she felt she wouldn't win the competition. She really doesn't think highly of herself and her flying skills, so she always acts confident.

[[WMG: The Wonderbolts won't be accepting Rainbow Dash...]]

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash was bullied just as badly as Fluttershy...]]

** Not only confirmed (she was BADLY bullied when she was younger, with her bullies calling her Rainbow Crash), but part of a serious HeartwarmingInHindsight moment in season 6. When she joins the Wonderbolts, she is given the same embarassing nickname the bullies gave her (though the rest of the Wonderbolts didn't know that). She then learns that ALL the Wonderbolts have embarassing nicknames (based on the first embarassing thing they did as part of the group), and accepts it. By accepting that as her official Wonderbolt call sign, her former bullies have now lost their ammunition.

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash will become Captain of the Wonderbolts from the get-go.]]

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash flunked Flight School on purpose.]]

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash is an UnreliableNarrator when it comes to her original Sonic Rainboom story.]]

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash's character will end up being TheScrappy of the Daring Do books.]]

[[WMG: Rainbow is heading for a BrokenPedestal with the Wonderbolts]]
Both "Wonderbolt Academy" and "Rainbow Falls" have shown less than admirable traits of the Wonderbolts and ended with Dash calling them out for it. On both occassions Spitfire seems to have taken this to heart, but it could ultimately lead up to Rainbow changing her mind about wanting to be a Wonderbolt after all.

[[WMG: Rainbow is a NightmareFetishist, by pony standards anyway]]

[[WMG: Rainbow will be a future villain's first choice in turning against the rest of the Mane 6]]

[[WMG: Rainbow is a descendant of General Firefly.]]

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash's maternal grandparents were so big on the Wonderbolts...]]

[[WMG: Rainbow won't get to join the Wonderbolts, but instead will be in charge of them.]]

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash's house in Ponyville is granted by her job]]

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash is a reservist Royal Guard, and met Gilda at boot camp]]

[[WMG: Rainbow will become General of the Wonderbolts.]]

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash's father is [[Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians Zeus]].]]

[[WMG: Zephyr Breeze's delusion that Rainbow has a crush on him actually has some truth in it, as RD very briefly had a crush on him when she was a filly, or at least when she was younger, before she really got to know him.]]

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash will only get two episodes that revolve around her in Season 9.]]

[[WMG: In "Applebuck Season", at least a few of the times that Twilight showed up to talk to Applejack were hallucinations.]]

[[WMG: Applejack is made of Dark Matter.]]

*** The counter point to this is air resistance. Suppose Applejack weighs as much as a regular pony and Rainbow Dash weighs a negligible amount. Since they're on a see-saw, Rainbow Dash cannot go up faster than Applejack goes down, this in effect puts a cap on her initial launch speed. Now if her mass is very low and her initial velocity is limited, her Kinetic Energy and Momentum are consequently very low. However Rainbow Dash still has the surface area of a normal sized pony, meaning she'll experience drag similar to a normal pony, who aren't particularly aerodynamic. Thus air resistance would rapidly slow her down if she wasn't actively applying thrust. Since the drag force is broadly similar to a normal pony and her kinetic energy is significantly lower.

[[WMG: Applejack is really Apple Bloom's mother.]]
The Apple parents never seem to be around. In "Bridle Gossip", Applejack tells Apple Bloom she'll tell Big Macintosh on her, conforming that Big Macintosh is the highest authority figure, and that the parents aren't just off-camera. As seen in the flashback in "The Cutie Mark Chronicles", AJ's parents weren't around when she was a filly either, suggesting they died when she was still young. Significantly, Apple Bloom isn't around too. This leads to the conclusion that Apple Bloom is in fact the result of a teenage pregnancy, and they're just passing her off as Applejack's sister to avoid embarressment. As for who the father is, well, [[BrotherSisterIncest considering Applejack's love for her family...]]

*** Open secret, which is why Miss Cheerilee was extremely uncorfortable with the shipping of her and Big Mac by the CMC.

[[WMG: The reason Applejack couldn't sell anything at the Gala was '''not''' because everypony there was too stuck-up.]]

[[WMG: Applejack will [[ActorAllusion sing with a band]] called "[[Music/HeyOcean Hello Seapony]]"]]

[[WMG: Applejack and Princess Luna are the Same Pony]]
Long ago, Sir Isaac Newton proved that the same force with pulls an apple from a tree, is also the same force that causes the moon to stay in orbit. Apple-buckin' is actually a GravityMaster trick that Applejack makes people think is just her kicking the apples off. Why else would they all fall perfectly into whatever buckets happen to be by the tree? Applejack controls Gravity Luna controls Gravity it is not a coincidnece!!!

** But Newton never said anything about an apple, that was an example someone made later. Which means...''Applejack doesn't really exist!''

[[WMG: AJ is a reincarnated [[WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants Sandy Cheeks]].]]

[[WMG: Applejack is a robot.]]

[[WMG: Applejack is immortal.]]

The other member's of the Apple clan are in on the masquerade (Apple Bloom might not be, yet), and the flashback to when she got her cutie mark was a lie.

[[WMG: Applejack cannot swim at all.]]

[[WMG: Applejack does not think of herself as a "tomboy."]]

[[WMG: Applejack's real name is Jacklyn Apple]]

[[WMG: Apple Bloom and Applejack are half-siblings]]

* Going along with a WMG above about Applejack being Apple Bloom's mother, then this could be an unconcious acknowlegement that they are not actually siblings.

[[WMG: Applejack's unfinished novel involves...]]

[[WMG: Applejack will become a Princess.]]

[[WMG: Alternatively, Applejack is TheUnchosenOne.]]

[[WMG: Applejack is a Ghost.]]
Whatever killed Applejack's parents wouldn't just settle for 2 of the ponies it would go whole hog on all potential meals except possibly Apple Bloom who might not make much of a meal(of course Apple Bloom could be dead too heh heh heh......).

[[WMG: Applejack will eventually become Mayor of Ponyville.]]

[[WMG: Applejack is adopted.]]

[[WMG: The Apple Family is an [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed Assassin family]].]]

[[WMG: Applejack's last name is Smith.]]

[[WMG: Applejack has a latent SixthSense]]

[[WMG: Rarity's accent is… "fake" is such an ugly word, darling. Let's say "deliberately cultivated."]]

[[WMG: Rarity went to design school at a place where the locals used a Trans Atlantic accent.]]

[[WMG: Everything that happened in Sonic Rainboom was [[ThePlan exactly according to Rarity's plan]].]]

[[WMG: Rarity was originally a human who somehow ended up in Equestria and got transformed into a unicorn. Sweetie Belle is her sister by adoption.]]

*** A. Why does no one else have a Trans-Atlantic accent?

B. Thats no excuse.

[[WMG: Rarity is far-sighted.]]

[[WMG: Rarity only uses her first name for [[JustForPun branding]] purposes.]]

* Mh, let's see… most members of the Apple Family have their family name positioned ''before'' their personal name (Apple Jack [[note]]Fine. Applejack, but…[[/note]], Apple Bloom, etc.). If we assume that this is common practice in Equestria and not just an eccentricity of the Apple family, shouldn't Rarity's full name be Sweetie Rarity?

[[WMG: Rarity was in the Nightmare Night episode.]]

[[WMG: Rarity is an amateur fashion designer.]]

[[WMG: Rarity's [[SuperOCD OCD]] makes her an UnreliableNarrator.]]

[[WMG: Rarity has a crush on Big Macintosh]]

[[WMG: At the moment Pinkie Pie accidentally kicked the pianist ''[[GroinAttack there]]'', Rarity was seriously considering deliberately doing the same to Prince Blueblood.]]

[[WMG: Rarity is becoming a BreakoutCharacter due to reflecting an artist’s struggle to become successful.]]
The show is made due to different types of artists working together, correct? As Rarity’s goal is to become a successful fashion designer, she is the most relatable to the show crew. Plus, almost each one of her episodes showcases one slice of life in that of a growing artist.

* Green Isn’t Your Color, shared with Fluttershy, shows how an artist can get envious of another’s success, and how acceptance over envy looks to be the better choice.
* A Dog and Pony Show warns how if you try to steal another artist’s efforts, that same artist will make your life a living hell as hilarious as possible.

* Look Before You Sleep was more about personal relationships than professional artistry. Although if you were looking for one concerning artistry, Rarity’s talent in topiary contributed to cleaning up the mess in the library, leading to never underestimate the skill set of an artist.

[[WMG: Rarity uses her gem-finding ability to stay financially solvent.]]

[[WMG: Rarity will end up with Fancy Pants (assuming Fleur's not his wife) or with a prince]]

[[WMG: Rarity is hideously ugly by pony standards.]]

[[WMG: Rarity is really Sweetie Belle's mother.]]

[[WMG: Rarity's natural hair color is green. The purple is only a dye.]]

[[WMG: Rarity will get married in Season 3]]

[[WMG: Rarity is several years older than the rest of the mane cast.]]

[[WMG: Rarity is adopted, and her birth parents are Fleur-de-Lis and Fancypants.]]

[[WMG: Rarity's special talent is not finding gemstones, or really applying them to clothing, but seeing that clothing modelled]]

[[WMG: Rarity is a trans mare]]

[[WMG: Rarity will become a Princess.]]

[[WMG: Rarity's cutie mark means fashion, not finding gems]]

* There's a pretty gaping flaw in that. Rarity herself was trapped doing weather duty when she got RD's cutie mark, which by that logic would imply Rainbow's special talent is making weather patterns, when it's quite obviously not. It's more that Rarity and AJ had to do tasks that Rainbow and Rarity could actually help them with and ''fix'' so they could remember who they really are. You can't exactly fix an inability to find gems and remember who you are, especially since practically any unicorn can probably learn the spell. It's also plausible that AJ, as an Earth Pony, might not have any (or much) trouble gem-hunting. However, AJ ''doesn't'' have any sense of high-class fashion and you can raise a dress shop from the grave with good designs. Likewise, you can't fix somepony's inability to race or breach the soundbarrier, but you can fix their really bad "[[LiteralMinded weather patterns]]". There's also the fact that they were all stuck doing each other's job, not special talent. Fluttershy and AJ are the only ones whose special talent directly IS her job. Pinkie's talent is throwing parties, but her day job is that of an entertainer and occasional baker. Rainbow's talent is racing/performing Sonic Rainbooms but her day job is head of weather patrol. Twilight's special talent is magic, and her job is librarian. Rarity's special talent ''is'' gemstone finding, with her job being a seamstress.

[[WMG: Rarity used to be the AlphaBitch of Ponyville]]

[[WMG: Rarity was NOT an immortal god-horse in Sonic Rainboom.]]

[[WMG: Rarity has a hoof fetish.]]

[[WMG: Rarity has a background in professional wrestling.]]
If we're taking the comics as having any effect on canon, Rarity displayed herself as an at least competent professional wrestler in issue #29. While one could make the claim that her opponents were professionals that made it easier, Cheerilee still required some training in order to be able to perform successfully, and any wrestler requires at least some.

[[WMG: Rarity will get no more episodes with Applejack.]]

Like Twilight and Sunset, Starlight was a student of magic, (though not under Celestia I imagine,) but her talents always seemed to be second-best in her eyes. She tried to make friends, but finding ponies who could do amazing things that she either struggled with or couldn’t do at all made for one bitter little unicorn. So in her town, there is no-one who could show her up again.

[[WMG: Starlight intended to use the Equal Ponies' Cutie Marks for herself]]

[[WMG: If and when Starlight returns, Twilight will give her a taste of ShutUpHannibal as an IronicEcho to her ShutUpKirk moment from "The Cutie Map pt. 2".]]

[[WMG: Starlight Glimmer's special talent is soul magic.]]

[[WMG: Starlight Glimmer had access to Starswirl's unfinished spell at some moment.]]

[[WMG: Starlight Glimmer experienced some traumatic event in the past that led to her adopting her current philosophy.]]

[[WMG: Starlight will return in the season 5 finale.]]

[[WMG: Starlight Glimmer's spell uses the pony's Cutie Mark as a medium to rob them of their special talents.]]

[[WMG: Starlight's FreudianExcuse is that her signature spell/talent is something most ponies would not want or see as useful.]]

[[WMG: Starlight Glimmer is a victim of TallPoppySyndrome and Cutie Mark Failure Insanity Syndrome.]]

[[WMG: Starlight will be set up as an evil counterpart to the Cutie Mark Crusaders]]

[[WMG: Starlight had other friends besides Sun Burst. All ended in disaster.]]

[[WMG: Starlight didn't get her cutie mark until she was an adult.]]

[[WMG: Starlight is a direct descendant of Starswirl the Bearded]]

[[WMG: Starlight is a reincarnated version of Starswirl the Bearded]]

[[WMG: Starlight will put her Equalization spell to use for a good cause...]]

[[folder: The Mane Cast]]

[[WMG: The mane six got their Cutie Marks because of their Elements]]

[[WMG: Each element is a two-edged sword.]]

* Loyalty: Rainbow Dash's loyalty is permanently put to the test. For example, she dreams of joining another group (the Wonderbolts) that would most probably occupy all of her time. And what about her relationship to her old friend Gilda? The downside of loyality is that you can't prevent it to be constantly challenged.

[[WMG: All six of the main ponies run between a little weird and occasionally psychotic.]]

** I guess it is time to rate her 5, or even, 6. [[spoiler: the compilation video of her being mentally unstable is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2X9ZRTIAA5g]]
** AND that episode does establish her personal trigger: the fear of failing and dissapointing her teacher, Celestia.

** You want to know why they're all such colorful (but potentially dangerous) nuts? They're [[WMG/TimeLord time lords]]! We've even seen [[TheNthDoctor past regenerations]] of three of them: Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Rarity. Just look at them in the G3 videos. [[EraSpecificPersonality The same, but different]].

[[WMG: The Cast's Approximate Human Age.]]

Now, Rarity Seems to be a similar age to Applejack or Fluttershy. As an adult, she seems to be one of the more mature ones (her [[NeatFreak NeatFreakness]] and occacional [[LargeHam hamminess]] being a permanent aspect of her personality. Also note that despite Sweetie Belles's accidents related to her clumsiness, she takes it quite well. And in fact, she's quite supportive with her and the Cutie Mark Crussaders). Meanwhile as a filly, she was already old enough for be starting her own business (or at least being the one in charge of the school dresses) it seemed like she had being doing it for quite some time already, so I'll say, and since it's probably in the middle school/trimester year(more details on Twilight's guess) I guess she was 11/3.2/3 years old by then).

Now, in many important academies, the process would start with quite some anticipation, I am asuming the School system of Equestria also has the same ratio as the pony:human age, so a scholar cycle would last 1 year/4 months, that being said, i'm asuming they did twilights audition 1 cycle before starting her first elementary school year, at Age 5/1.2/3)

Applejak- 7.1/3 22\\

Scootaloo - 2.2/3 -> 9\\

As for the Princesess, I am thinking a 1:100 ratio, that originally, Luna was "only" 300/3 years younger than luna, but when she got corrupted/sealed, she got age locked, and didn't age until released, while Celestia spend those 1000/10 years on the normal world aging. I also want to point out that 1000 is not their age, but the time passed since Luna's rebellion. I think they both were "teenagers" by that time at ages 1700/1400 respectively, and in the present and due the age lock of Luna, their actual ages are 2700 and 1400 respectively.

Applejack does backbreaking labor on an apple farm, meaning she's still young and vigourous. She is 14 or 15.
Fluttershy is shy and afraid of her own shadow, she adores woodland life and has moments that are just plain wierd. I would estimate she's at least 13.

[[WMG: One of the mane 6 will fall in love with ''someone''.]]

[[WMG: Without the Sonic Rainboom, the ponies would have had different cutie marks.]]

* Twilight Sparkle- Without the Rainboom, she failed the entrance exam and devoted her efforts to study, more so than before, resulting in an Open Book cutiemark.

[[WMG: The mane characters' journey through the Everfree Forest to the old palace in "The Elements of Harmony" took the equivalent of several days.]]

[[WMG: Princess Celestia will eventually grant titles of nobility to the mane cast in recognition of their services to the crown.]]

[[WMG: The Mane Six are sisters.]]

[[WMG: The mane six were vulnerable to Discord because they had already betrayed the Element of Harmony they stood for.]]

[[WMG: The Mane Six are [[DecoyProtagonist Decoy Protagonists.]]]]

[[WMG: ''All'' of the mane six will be alicorns by the end of the show.]]

[[WMG: Alternately, The Mane Six will replace Luna and Celestia.]]

[[WMG: All of the mane cast learnt how to sew during or after "Suited for Success".]]

[[WMG: The mane characters' Cutie Marks are the source of their mental instability]]

[[WMG: Each of the mane cast's psychotic breaks were opposites of their usual personalities.]]

* Appljack, the most dependable of all ponies, is suddenly very unreliable in "Applebuck Season"

[[WMG: The Ponies' Last Names]]

* Additionally, the Cakes. Mr. Cake's full name is Carrot Cake, and Mrs. Cake's is Cup Cake, probably meaning that onetook the other's last name.

[[WMG: Were it not for each other, everypony in the Mane Cast would have gone plumb loca.]]

* Under a night that would last...FOREVER!

[[WMG: The events of "The Mysterious Mare-Do-Well" took place over the course of several months, if not longer.]]

[[WMG: One of the reasons why the "Mare-Do-Well" act was created was because the other ponies secretly enjoy excluding Rainbow Dash]]

[[WMG: The Mane Cast are ''all'' descendants of the founders of Equestria]]

[[WMG: Alternatively, the mane cast are ''reincarnations'' of the six founders]]

[[WMG: When performed by the Elements of Harmony, the Pageant became more than just a symbol of on-going Equestrian unity]]

[[WMG: The mane six will find a way to use the fires of friendship in conjunction with the Elements of Harmony.]]

[[WMG: The Mane Six are not being groomed as princesses at all]]

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash not being able to get her cider? That's Rarity's fault.]]

[[WMG: The Mane Six are a subtle example of feminism. ]]

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy are sisters]]

[[WMG: Their "Friendship" Magic is interchangable.]]

[[WMG: If One of the Six Die, The Friendship Magic Dies Too.]]

[[WMG: If One of the Six Die, as long as the rest remember the fallen (and their virutes) the Magic lives on.]]

[[WMG: In "Return of Harmony", the Mane Six were FightingFromTheInside, at least at first.]]

[[WMG: Each member of the Mane Cast represents a different socieoeconomic status.]]

** I would peg Rarity as self-made as well- Rarity isn't exactly a newcomer at the beginning of the series (Rarity was in charge of decorations for the yummer Sun Celebration- she is at least locally known) while she is gaining prominence as the show goes on (Rarity was tasked with Cadence's headdress, not something to be trusted to just anypony...) As for Diamond Tiara, she's stereotypical New Money- especially idiotic in her case, since it was her father who made the money. ( Filthy Rich earned most of his money by reselling the Apple Family's Zap Apple Jam. He also knows it, being unfailingly polite to the Apple Family. (I'm guessing he doesn't know his daughter is a bully, and that he married soeone after his money, as otherwise Diamond Tiara's behaviour makes no sense)

Rainbow Dash: Has a very offputting personality to anyone that doesn't get to see her good points. She was also completely unaware of how unpleasant Gilda could be to others, which means that she either hung with a ''very'' different crowd in the past or didn't have other friends to compare her to.

[[WMG: Mane 5 Special Talents vs Jobs.]]

---> "I'm in love with weather patterns but the others have concerns/For I just gave them frostbite over top of their sunburns. I have to keep on trying, for everyone can see/It's got to be my destiny, and it's what my Cutie Mark is telling me."

-> "These animals don't listen, no not one little bit!/They run around out of control and throw their hissy fits. It's up to me to stop them, 'cause plainly you can see/It's got to be my destiny, and it's what my Cutie Mark is telling me""

-> "I try to keep them laughing, put a smile upon their face/But no matter what I try it seems a bit of a disgrace. I have to entertain them, it's there for all to see/It has to be my destiny, and it's what my Cutie Mark is telling me"

-> "I don't care much for pickin' fruit and plowin' fields ain't such a hoot/But no matter what I try I cannot fix this busted water chute/I have so many chores to do, it's no fun being me/But it has to be my destiny, 'cause it's what my Cutie Mark is telling me."

-> "Lookie here at what I made I think that it's a dress?/I know it doesn't look like much I'm under some distress/If you could all give me a hand here, and help me fix this mess?/My destiny is not pretty, but it's what my Cutie Mark is telling me."

[[WMG: Every character will end up with their own page.]]

[[WMG: Princess Celestia originally planned for Rainbow Dash to be the Element of Laughter and for Spike to be the Element of Loyalty.]]

First: Pinkie Pie was the only one of the Elements to not participate on the organization of the party that Princess Celestia sent Twilight to oversee. Second: Spike was the one most likely to follow Twilight into a dark forest, and he is one of the characters most strongly associated with Loyalty in the series. Third: Pinkie's "test", "laugh at scary things", was the kind of "test" that someone who knew Rainbow Dash's local reputation would be likely to believe she would pass. Pinkie Pie being the Element of Laughter was a surprise to Princess Celestia (as her original name - Surprise - hints), probably because she frequently pretended to be scared of things less scary than the Everfree Forest in the night, or because Princess Celestia feared that Twilight would not be likely to bond with her so swiftly (as actually ocurred with Maud).

[[WMG: There's a deeper reason behind Applejack and Rarity's enemity.]]

I imagine this stopped when Applejack's parents died (A.J would be too distracted to continue the rivalry and Rarity would be considerate enough to leave her alone), but rather than become friends, they just go their seperate ways.

[[WMG: Mane 6's birthdays]]

[[WMG: The elements are completely arbitrary]]

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash had a [[LesYay serious crush]] on Fluttershy back in [[SchoolgirlLesbians summer flight camp]].]]

*** Or [[StarWars Anakin Skywalker]]...

The arguments between these two often seem way to bitter to be caused simply by having different hobbies and interests. My theory is that they were both in the same class when they were younger (it's implied that they've both lived in Ponyville pretty much their whole lives) and perhaps they didn't get along at the time. In fact one of them may have even been a bully to the other [[NotSoDifferent (Like Apple Bloom and Diamond Tiara?)]]. Perhaps Rarity teased A.J for being working class or A.J teased Rarity for being prissy (or possibly both).
