Little Pony
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is an animated TV series based on the My Little Pony toyline made by American toy producer and multimedia company Hasbro. It features characters and settings established by Lauren Faust, who wanted to create more in-depth characters than the clichéd “girly” icons used in previous iterations of the franchise. The sequence began airing on October 10, 2010 in the United States on the Hub Network cable channel, which was re-branded as Discovery Family on October 13, 2014.
The show follows a intellectual unicorn named Twilight Sparkle as her mentor Princess Celestia guides her to learn about friendship in the town of Ponyville. Twilight becomes best friends with five other ponies: earth ponies Applejack and Pinkie Pie, pegasi Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, and unicorn Rarity. Each signifies a different aspect of friendship, and Twilight discovers herself to be a key part of the magical artifacts known as the Elements of Harmony. The six ponies—jointly known as the “Mane Six”—share journeys and help out other residents of Ponyville, while working out the difficult moments in their own friendships. This eventually leads to Twilight rising and becoming a winged unicorn known as an alicorn. Here are the 7 main characters.
Twilight Sparkle is the dominant character of the sequence, based on the first generation or “G1” unicorn toy Twilight. She is portrayed in the show’s first three seasons as a purple unicorn with pink-streaked indigo curls, and as a winged unicorn called an “alicorn” after the season three finale “Magical Mystery Cure”. She leads the Mane Six during their journeys and helps resolve her friends’ alterations. She is an intelligent and obedient scholar with an avid love of learning and skill in unicorn magic such as raising, teleportation, and the creation of force fields.
Rainbow Dash is a blue Pegasus with a rainbow-colored mane and tail who is based on the “G1” Firefly toy and shares her name with the “G3” earth pony. She is passionate with speed and adventure. Her goal at the beginning of the series is to join her heroes, the elite Wonderbolts aerobatic team.
Pinkie Pie is a pink earth pony based on the “G3” toy of the same name. She is a party planner at Sugarcube Corner, a bakery and confectionery store in Ponyville that look like a gingerbread house, where she also keeps a toothless baby alligator named Gummy. A comedic character that was raised on a “dreary rock farm”, Pinkie is cheerful, energetic, and talkative.
Rarity is a white unicorn with a curled violet mane who was based on the “G1” ponies Glory and Sparkler and named after the “G3” pony Rarity. She is a ladylike fashionista who speaks with a Mid-Atlantic pronunciation and runs a haute couture salon in Ponyville called Carousel Boutique. Despite her ineffective and overdramatic bents, she has a generous spirit and strives to create dresses that capture their wearers’ inner beauty.
Applejack is an orange, blonde-haired earth pony based on the “G1” character of the same name. She is considered as a “farm gal” who sports a cowboy hat and lasso, and speaks with a Southern accent. She works as an apple farmer at the Sweet Apple Acres orchard in Ponyville, using her strength to “buck” apples out of trees.
Fluttershy is a yellow pink-maned Pegasus based on the “G1” earth pony Posey. True to her name, she is “defined by her shy sweetness; soft, whispery voice; and tender, nurturing nature”, as described by author Begin. She retains a unique attraction for animals that allows her to communicate with them.
Spike is a purple baby dragon with green spines, based on the “G1” and “G3” character of the same name. Hatched from an egg by a young Twilight Sparkle as part of her entrance exam for Celestia’s academy, he fulfills the role of Twilight’s “number one assistant” to which he is named so for his loyalty and skill at helping Twilight solve problems and learn lessons.
