Been watching alot of mlp content, including some mlp history videos, and I thought this would be a fun project to work on while I rot during my summer break

All of them are based of G1 characters except for Twinkle Shine. See, I tried to do that thing Lauren Faust did and turn the ponies I played with into main characters, but really the only background character I had and gave her own personality was Twinkle Shine. I also switched the genders of Firefly and Butterscotch, they're dudes now. Wind Whistler's gender is "?" for now

If enough people want it, I'll go more in depth with their characters and their designs. Story is in its early stages at the moment. What I know for sure is Moondancer is the main character.

Pinkie Pie - I felt the element of laughter should be an older woman, both because laughing lines are the definitive proof of a live lived joyously, but also because all the older volunteers I work with are always so cheerful, witty and always try to raise morale at work! I wanted her to have a cotton candy kind of feel with the spots and hair, but it hasn't quite worked out yet how I wanted!

Rainbow Dash - While I understand why people make her more masc and less girly in redesigns, I always thought her having long hair and being comfortable in her femininity was a sort of inspirational strength. So what I did instead was keep her mane kind of the same but give her more of a storm look, just because I think rainbows themselves look the coolest when a storm has just passed by and the sky behind it is deep and dark! I did feel her mane should be a bit messier though!

Apple Jack - If her being a southern pony was boring to some people, then why not just make her a donkey? They're known for their strength and it immediately makes her stand out more amongst the rest. to return the subtle apple theme i gave her apple seed markings and brought back the green and red in her ties and hat. The same thing I said about Rainbow Dash's femininity applies to her too. I get why people draw her more masc, but I always thought her being comfortable in her femininity was pretty powerful.

Twilight Sparkle - The element of magic should look pretty magical, and I feel irl UV light makes everything looks weirdly enchanting. So for that reason I gave her a sort of blacklight type of look! pretty dark but with a few colours popping out rather boldly. I also wanted to make her accessories stand out so I made those yellow to fit the purple (and also thought it'd be cute if spike had a horse saddle seat! her cutiemark also has an extra star for him). the heart on her hoof is a reference to gen 3.

Spike - I mostly just wanted him to look more like a dragon, so I gave him horns and these little wing-like things on his feet so he's still a ground-bound dragon, but more visually a dragon nonetheless. not too happy with it, but we rolling with it!

Rarity - At the thought of having a really beautiful horse character, I couldn't stop thinking about the really round horses from that cave painting... I just couldn't agree on what to colour her or her accessories. I also thought it'd be a positive message to make the element of generosity a fat character, seeing as those are often negatively tied to greed and gluttony.
