I think the reason why the top 3 favorite characters on my little pony for viewers is Pinky Pie, Rarity and Rainbow Dash is because these are the 3 things people are lacking in their lives or don't get enough of. Fun, Beauty, and Adventure. It's funny how a simple show that you once overlooked can show you so much about the inner workings of the mind and reflect back to you things that you yourself may not know is happening within you. At first I didn't watch this show but then gave it a chance and found that is was full of juicy insights and showed that areas of self growth lie in understanding how you strengths can become weaknesses and visa versa. I like this show. Intuitively analyzing the main characters, here's what I found...
Pinky Pie is Twilight's foil. And Pinky's greatest fear is that she isn't lovable or likable and thus won't have any friends. Her greatest strength her extroversion is also her greatest weakness. Without them it's like she doesn't know who she is. Her task is to be her own best friend first.
Twilight's greatest fear is what she cannot understand, not being in control and not knowing. Her greatest strength is her logic and studiousness (diligence and discipline) and also her greatest weakness. Without her logic she feels suspended and insecure. She is to learn to trust the unknown and what she cannot explain and cultivate faith.
Rarity's foil is Applejack. Rarity is immaginative. Applejack is concrete. Rarity's greatest strength is her love of perfection and beauty and also her greatest weakness. Without beauty and actualizing the ideal dream/vision Rarity becomes discouraged and hopeless. Her greatest fear is a lack order and beauty, a world filled with the mundane, broken and unimaginative. And uninspiring, dull, and colorless place without vibrancy or pleasure. She is to learn to see and love the beauty in everything especially the simple, the ordinary, and within. To get untidy and comfortable with the process of imperfection and accept it as normal.
Applejack's greatest fear is change and losing the comfort of her surroundings, ways and what she knows. Her greatest strength is her reliability and dedication but becomes her greatest weakness when she people pleases and becomes a martyr, sacrificing her own needs for her job, family, and friends. She needs to learn that she is responsible for being just as reliable and faithful to herself so she can be better at all her endeavors. Applejack will benefit from taking her own needs, desires and wants just as seriously as anyone else and to be the master of self care.
Rainbow Dash is Fluttershy's foil. Rainbow Dash is brash and brave and Fluttershy is graceful and gentle. Rainbow Dash's greatest fear is being in last place, a loser, nobody and not being recognized for her talents and what she has to offer. Her greatest weakness is being outshone by someone who can do something as good as or better than her which drives her into a spirit of competition and jealousy. Rainbow Dash's lesson is to find the value outside of her gifts and talents- to see herself stripped away from the fame, attention, skills, talents, for who she is and to value that. She must learn that she is in no competition with anyone else but herself and that the only person she could be better than is herself. When she realizes who she is and what sets her apart from all the rest she won't be driven to seek external validation but be validated from within.
Fluttershy is a graceful shy type and has a sensitivity and compassion unlike any other. These are her greatest strengths but also her greatest weaknesses. At her best she is caring and kind but it becomes a liability when she is too timid, fails to stand up for herself, be assertive in what she wants, feels or believes is right to the point where she is taken advantage of. Her greatest fear is a cold, lonely world without love, kindness and understanding, a world without warmness and gentleness. Fluttershy's task is to know that love conquers all evil, hardness, and strife and to have faith in that. She is also to know that if there is love inside of her there will always be love in the world and will attract loving people. When Fluttershy learns that although the realities of this world may be harsh and embraces this truth and finds the wisdom in being hard at times she will find the courage to assert herself and stop fearing hurting people's feelings- finding deep satisfaction.
