Quick question: Were the ponies like Twilight Sparkle, Applejack and co. in MLP series before Friendship is Magic?
Most of the names were taken from earlier generations, though not personalities.

Rainbow Dash in g3 was basically rarity without any of rarity's interesting personality traits.

I'm pretty sure I heard that Applejack goes all the way back to the beginning of animated MLP series and specials but that none of the others do.

I think so... *checks wikipedia*

Yep, Rescue at Midnight Castle was first, according to what I'm reading, where Spike was introduced. Applejack came later in G1.

There are shipping stories of every single combination imaginable.

That includes trixieXtrixie.

Most of the names were taken from earlier generations, though not personalities.

Rainbow Dash in g3 was basically rarity without any of rarity's interesting personality traits.

More specifically, FiM mostly uses G3 names, but draws somewhat from the personalities of similar G1 ponies.

Gives a good idea of what was originally intended. I've heard mention from that and elsewhere that Firefly's personality isn't far off from the Rainbow Dash we now know and love. Same with Surprise/Pinkie. No clue on the others.

At least that makes sense. Who else could The Great and Powerful Trixie love?

For some reason, I always imagine Trixie either coming to terms with the fact she's not getting anywhere and trying to change for the better or losing her mind from the solidarity and rejection after she gets barred from every city, town, and village in Equestria.

AJ was in that one too.

I don't believe she is dumb... though, depression and suicide may or may not be a cause.
