     Mars’ jacket is faux fur 
In the Galaxy Girls universe, Jupiter is known for having as many pets as her moons. In real life, Lauren Faust has a love for animals. But wait- what? Is Mars wearing an orange furry jacket?!?!

Quite a shocker when you stop to think about it. What animal in outer space could possibly have been shaved into a furry jacket? Not to mention this so called “jacket” has only been seen as sleeves.

The theory goes like this: it’s fake fur, or rather known as faux fur. When Faust designed her doll, she specifically mentioned using a material known as faux fur, to coincide with her love for animals. This means that Faust likely didn’t intend for Mars to wear animal fur, and canonically just wears fake fur, or possibly a new furry substance found in another planet or galaxy.

     The MLP cast's personalities derived from the Galaxy Girls 
Let’s go over them:
  • Uranus’ knowledge and high IQ and Milky Way’s love for new discoveries is a nod to Twilight Sparkle.
  • The Moon’s shy personality and Jupiter’s love for animals is a definite nod to Fluttershy.
  • Mars’ goofy personality and Saturn’s love for throwing parties is easily recycled into Pinkie Pie.
  • Saturn became DJ Pon-3/Vinyl Scratch by far.
  • Mercury’s energetic personality, Neptune’s laid back personality, and Pluto’s loyalty combine to make Rainbow Dash.
  • Venus’ need for perfection, Sun’s want of attention, and Milky’s fashion sense make a good combination for Rarity.
    • Not to mention Andromeda and Sweetie Belle are debatably similar, and are both associated with purple.
  • Applejack is the only exception, but the closest possibility is between the personalities of Jupiter and Mercury.

Faust tends to recycle personalities each time she creates a group of female characters, particularly teenage girls. This is also worth noting considering the fact that the DC Super Hero Girls (2019) characters took the personalities AGAIN, having examples such as Batgirl being energetic similar to Mars and Pinkie and Supergirl being a tough tomboy similar to Mercury and Rainbow Dash. So yeah, it’s just the repeated thought process.

     Jupiter is a vegan 
Being a mother of 60-70 pets, and Faust’s love for animals, this easily speaks for itself. In fact, this statement was even confirmed!

On one of the Solar Sisterhood Blog articles, this one here, has Jupiter talking about Daijuna Corin, who works at a bakery called Vela Delight that “specializes in cookies, candies, pastry, cupcakes, and even more cupcakes- oh my!” What really caught Jupiter’s mind was the fact they also come in vegan, and “both ying and yang will be happy tonight”.

Thank you Daijuna Corin, for proving this to be a true statement!

     Alien theory 
The Alien Theory suggests how the Galaxy Girls originated. It’s apparent that they resemble human teenage girls, of course. But how were they created?

While yes, they do look and resemble humans of many races and colors, there’s one that stands out: Mars. Unlike the other girls, she has green skin and antennae on top of her head, made to resemble an alien. Completed with the statement, “Mars is from another planet!”

Not just that, but the girls reside in outer space without the need of oxygen, and as previously stated they avoid Earth due to its life. So what does that suggest? The other girls are aliens too!

How do they reproduce? Likely similar to humans, that is if they ever do. It’s apparent that they have navels, which is a mark used to indicate that your umbilical cord was once attached there. So does that suggest the Galaxy Girls have biological parents? If Milky and Andromeda are sisters, then that could be a yes.
