Celestia.

Glimmer.

Cadance actually has an attachment to another creature.

Sunset Shitter

>>30825755
We have seen more of Starlight then of Cadence in recent seasons, and personally Cadence seems to be more of a generic princess character, in my personal opinion. So to me at least, Cadence would have less of a personality.
>>
>>30825755
I was going be cheeky and say the baby, but I realized even without a developed brain or speech she actually has a more prominent personality than either of those two.

That's fucking sad.

What exactly is the point of this bait? Far as I understand, personality is HOW the character acts, while actual "character" is WHY the character acts. Personality does not equal depth.
For example, Tirek has a lot of personality, but he's still flat as fuck.

>>30825762
Glimmer is attached to Trixie all the time.
>>
>>30825998
The point is: both of them are extremely bland and unappealing.

Both are shit in terms of personality, but at least Cadance isn't Mary Sue OC and has decent design. I vote Starlyt
>>
>>30826067
>isn't a mary sue and has a decent design

Anon, i hate Starlight as much as any sane person. But I remember the times when Cadance appeared. It was a shitstorm. Not only Hasbro made a big fuck you to Faust headcanon of Alicorns being very rare and unique, but they also introduced a very bland alicorn with shitty over the top candy design. Especially those awful highlights.

And Cadance is also a Mary Sue by being both an Alicorn and ruler of entire kingdom without any major struggle or explanation on how did she deserved to be a princess.

No, she fucking doesn't. She only has more added images when a new episode featuring her is released, and it's all screencaps. Normally, or when BOTH have new material, Sunset wins by a long shot.

Cadence has less of a personality than Glimmer but that also means she has less of a chance of being an annoying one. A lot of Glimmer's character is badly written.

Considering could be described in one noun phrase as "a princess who loves Shining Armour and rules the Crystal Empire for some reason", Cadance. Durr.

Hm... Cadence never had one to begin with. Starlight lost hers when she was reformed. In which case, Starlight has less because she has negative personality.

So was Celestia and the majority of the cast the second time around AFTER they had their first experience with Changelings showing up.
Seriously, everyone seems stupid around dealing with horse flies because plot.
>>
>>30825755
Cadance, but that's because the writers are too moronic to give her a proper background. I mean, the only thing we know about her past is on the books. And not a lot of people read them.
>>
>>30825755
Cadence, Glimmer is a shitty character but at least she has a character, Cadence is a shallow OC
>>
>>30826067

>pink alicorn of love is a good design
Cadence was literally ground zero, everything about her screams toy insert like her Ken doll of a husband and her special snowflake daughter
>>
>>30830577
>Reasonably developed backstory
she enslaved a community and tried to kill twilight and end the world all because her friend got into a special school and she didn't. what about that is reasonable.
>>
>>30827530
mary sues are proxies for self insertion or wish fulfillment, Cadence being miss perfection was done for marketing reasons, like a mascot she is perfect so she can appeal to as many people as possible and sell more toys, since she is not a protagonist they don't need to worry about making her interesting.
>>
>>30830842
I said realistically developed, not realistic period. There's also the part where she breaks down because her only childhood friend abruptly deserts her. Don't get me wrong: it's still a very strange leap from the one to the other, but at least we know the cause, and it's something that still plays into her character from time to time. (Also she only wanted severe retaliation on Twilight personally, she never intended to destroy the world.)
>>
>>30830865
reasonable* not realistic, but you get my drift I'm sure
>>
>>30830577
>Reasonably developed backstory
She has the worst backstory I can remember in a cartoon, losing contact with a childhood friend and never trying to contact him again or move on with her life, dedicating her entire existence to revenge and somehow becoming as powerful as a fucking alimony princess who was trained by fucking god
>>
>>30830865
her friend didn't desert her. he was literally just going to school. if she was that messed up about her friend going to school then she needs help from a doctor, not a friendship princess.
how does it play into her character? (this is only partially me being obnoxious; i stopped watching all the episodes after season 5 so i've only seen a few.)
also.... yeah she kind of did? she knew damn well what twilight and her friends had done for equestria and by stopping them from ever becoming friends she knew at least to SOME extent that the world would be shit without them.
whatever. whether her story checks out or not, at least we can agree it's shit.
>>
>>30830872
Holy shit can you guys not read? I said "reasonably developed", which, even if it makes no sense, is still many times better than Cadance's, of whom we only know that she used to be Twilight's foalsitter and is now an alicorn for some reason. And the only reason Starlight had the upper hand in the S5 finale, was because she had her hands on a spell that enabled her to go back in time and a) prepare for anything Twilight could have done to her and b) hold the most important event of the series as a hostage. You can't win against these odds no matter how powerful you are.

I'm sure that, if we had some good writers, we could have a great flashback episode about some absurd turn of events involving Starlight that could have actually led to the history at hand. I understand that this isn't a valid objection and right now it still makes very little sense.

m8 she could levitate herself long periods of time and casually dodge Twilight's beams like it was nothing, hell even peforming the time spell is already a pretty big deal considering how casual most unicorns are
>>
>>30830881
>just going to school
Nigga what? He was sent to the other end of Equestria to go to a school for gifted unicorns without so much as a farewell. He was literally torn out of her life, but then again I guess you could argue that if that was so, they couldn't really have been such close friends in the first place.

The way it plays into her character is how she solves he problems. Every Little Thing She Does, All Bottled Up and A Royal Problem all feature Starlight trying to get out of a mess by using crude magical spells to brute force a solution. I can even go so far as to say it's her defining character trait, which isn't a compliment by the way. The other thing she has going for her is her soft approach to converting bad guys - most visibly at the end of the S6 finale - which is caused by the demolition of the wall she has built around herself. Just look at how close she was to getting to Chrysalis's heart.

She was definitely trying to irreversibly turn the world into a much shittier place, yeah. But I do think she was overwhelmed by irrational anger, as in the final alternate future she actually understood what consequences her lust for revenge would have. What that means is that, if she had gone through with her plan, she wouldn't have been happy with the outcome. So I'll leave in the middle whether or not she deliberately plotted to destroy the world.
>>
>>30830911
Yeah I'll give you that. She's absurdly adept at certain forms of magic. I guess the writers let her learn levitation because the episode was set in Cloudsale and then just kind of rolled with it. By the way can she teleport? I forgot.
>>
>>30830955
Can't remember, we also have the other spells she did through season 6 but it could be Twilight teaching them as part of the friendship lessons
>>
>>30830936
Starlight's interactions can be summed up as awkward laughter and head scratches
>>
>>30825755
Cadence.

Glimmer at least has her villain side, as bad as it still was. And she only exists because of Hasbro made alicorn royalty that fucks up everything the show staff worked tirelessly to build. So, she only really exists because ofthe former.
>>
>>30830984
Yeah it's pretty awful when he's acting like that. It's exactly the same as Sunset Shimmer too. But I guess that's what you have to do when you led a cult village and almost destroyed the world.
>>
>>30825755
I'd say Glimmer has less of a personality than Cadence simply because of screen time. Cadence has little to no screen time so its only natural she had no chance to show her personality. But we've seen so much of Glimmer yet she has nothing going for her. Not even an accent or anything.

So you agree she's on the psychopathy spectrum, a unique and defining personality trait.

Seems she's an interesting character.
>>
>>30831712
she is a character that has been handled horribly
S6 should have been her having an episode dedicated to her and one of the mane6 at a time
instead, we got the mindrape episode
there was no integration between her and the mane6, she's just... there
they call her a friend, but we have hardly seen her actually interact with them
in whatever episodes she is in, she's carried through it by the character that is stapled to her

she was the one who would remind herself of her fuck ups, then she'd feel sorry for herself, trying to get pity from the audience
no one in ponyville knows what she did, she literally got a fresh start
it's a "woe is me, I need you to feel sorry for me" thing and that doesn't work
a good redemption arc has the character reminded of their fuck ups from other characters, not themselves
they work with those they fucked over and does things to prove that they have changed
Starlight moved away from "our town" and has only shown up there twice
in both cases, she's instantly forgiven and in the second time, she was put in charge of the festival there
she hasn't proven to them that she actually changed
Discord and Sunset were ridiculed by everyone around them, made mistakes and proved to all that they have changed for the better, forging actual friendships with the mane6 (and EqG6)

Starlight has a very long ways to go before I'll even consider her a decent character (she was "meh" in Mirror Magic)
right now, she sticks out like a sore thumb and (to me) too much time has passed for them to really be able to fix her
all we know about her in 2.5 seasons is that her friend moved away (making her a villain), she can mix magic spells and likes kites
