I just got into Camp again, I know, but I have the urge to pimp the manliest piece of man cartoon to ever man its way across Man Street.
Yep. That's right. Why would I not pimp this? Here, have a Wiki summary:
The series stars a unicorn pony named Twilight Sparkle, who is a pupil of Equestria's ruler Princess Celestia. Seeing the young pony buried in books, the princess sends her to Ponyville and gives her the task of making friends. Along with her assistant, a baby dragon named Spike, she becomes friends with the tomboyish Rainbow Dash, glamorous Rarity, hard-working Applejack, timid Fluttershy, and hyperactive Pinkie Pie. Together they explore the ins and outs of the town and solve various problems. Each episode usually ends with Twilight Sparkle reporting back to Celestia on some aspect of friendship that she has discovered in the process.
The six main characters are written as young adults with a maturity level in the 12-18 year old range.
Basically, they are all camper age and you should app them all.
Let's start with our heroine, shall we?
TWILIGHT SPARKLE
UNICORN PONY
ELEMENT REPRESENTED: MAGIC
Go ahead, get the laughs out about her name. I know I did when I first started this show. Anyway, Twilight is our heroine, who at the beginning, stuffs her nose in books and her only friend is Spike, a baby dragon and her not!son. Of course, once Princess Celestia pulls a massive Batman Gambit, she gets better and befriends the ponies mentioned above. She still prefers to stick her head in a book and be alone sometimes, though. She's the One Sane Pony of the group, usually. She also once tried to comprehend Pinkie Pie's ability to predict things and ended up pretty much frying her brain; suffice to say, illogical things that don't make sense will bug her to no end. Which is all the more reason to bring her to camp. Zombies? Robot cows? Marcy? She will be brain dead the first day. If she doesn't try to organize the shit out of camp first. Oh, and she has enough magic to possibly make camp fall into a vortex again. December 06 NEVAR FORGET.
Seriously, APP THE PONY LEADER.
APPLEJACK
EARTH PONY
ELEMENT REPRESENTED: HONESTY
How much do I love this country pony? LET ME COUNT THE WAYS. One of the tomboy ponies (her partner in crime/rivalry usually being Rainbow Dash), Applejack lives on her apple farm with her massive apple family. Seriously; her grandmother is named Granny Smith for chrissake. Applejack's main job is to gather apples from the orchard, usually by kicking trees with her hind legs. She will also invite you into her farm with open arms and stuff you with so many apple treats you won't be able to move proper afterward. Why is she the representative of honesty? Well, taking a canon example, if you're hanging from a very very high ledge, and she tells you to let go, promising that everything will be okay? She means it. She's also the one who keeps Rainbow Dash level most of the time, usually grabbing her by the tail with her teeth to keep her from doing stupid things. Like trying to bum-rush/tackle an evil pony (said evil pony only lasts for two episodes, BUT HEY).
I really do love Applejack. BRING HER HERE.
FLUTTERSHY
PEGASUS PONY
ELEMENT REPRESENTED: KINDNESS
And last but not least, we have Fluttershy. Her name fits; when she meets someone for the first time, she's almost shy to an debilitating level. She is good with animals - so long as they are not massive, fire breathing dragons. Not even Pinkie Pie can bring herself to play pranks on her, out of fear she will burst out crying. However, Fluttershy does have her berserk button, and it's mostly triggered by messing with her friends. The aforementioned big dragon she was so scared to pieces of? Well, after seeing it knock around her friends, she gets right in its face, scolds it, and makes it break down in tears. This happens again with a cockatrice that runs around, turning ponies to stone. How does she stop it? By warning it that she will tell its mother. While the cockatrice tries to turn her to stone. Despite all this badassery though, she still jumps and cries out at the smallest things, like a leaf falling on her. All in all, Fluttershy is adorable as hell, and we need her in camp as much as the rest of them.
