>>24987655 >Who was your first favorite pony? Has that changed?
Suited For Success was my first episode, and I really enjoyed Rarity's artistic twist on the bitchy fashionista stereotype. That aspect of her character is what convinced me that the series was a cut above the rest, and made me eager to see how the other ponies were characterized. That said, while Rarity still dominates my MLP folder, I never officially decided on a favorite until Boast Busters.
Trixie is actually more charming to me minus the fan-crafted backgrounds and interpretations; I like the unironic independence and confidence she displays, and how she promises to carry on rather than withering in defeat like most antagonists in shows of this nature. I think having her for the main cast to contrast and interact, without changing her personality, might be an opportunity for further lessons and development of the main characters.
That said, I have written my own sadfic about Trixie's terrible and tragic past, but I tried to cast her as more of a hero than a victim in that tale. |
