Right now, it's Silverstream and Ocellus, but I have a feeling Smolder and Gallus may have a good showing as time goes by.

What pushed Ocellus into 1st place was that she keeps her ladybug motif in her pony guise (her cutie mark is a ladybug).

Biology trivia: an ocellus is a mark or coloration that resembles an eye (like on some moths’ wings) to fool other animals.

I'll have to watch other episodes to know for sure, although Silverstream and Ocellus stood out the most in the premiere.

(also, is Smolder a boy or a girl? :modesty: )

I went looking through the transcripts and couldn't, at least on a first pass, find any gendered pronouns used in reference to Smolder. The feeling I had is that Smolder is a girl, but I'm really not sure.

It'd be interesting if the show used Smolder as part of a story about gender identity, but somehow I doubt that'll happen.

Silverstream and Yona are my top two.

Ocellus is #3, even though I don't really care for the reformed changeling designs (and she looks emaciated. They should have given her middle a different color I think). Personality wise, she's lots of fun.

Smolder is #4. Dragons are fun, but she just comes off as Ember 2.0 with Scootaloo coloring.

Gallus and Sandbar are at the bottom, but there's still enjoyable enough. I'm not a big fan of Gallus' coloring. We've never seen brightly colored Griffins that I can remember, and it just seems odd. Sandbar was kind of bland, other than the Sugercube Corner scene.




Stray observations...

Yona = Niblet



Sandbar...

As a Changeling fan, I picked Ocellus as number one. I like Silverstream's personality and energy. Gallus and Smoulder are OK but I'm not big on "atitude" characters. Sandbar seemed to just be there in my opinion, almost like they had to have a token pony in the group. As for Yona, I guess I was soured on the yaks after thier first episode when they smashed everything in sight.

Maybe I'll change my mind. We'll see as the season goes on.
