Talk:Maud Pie/@comment-10390252-20140315174106

Okay, seen it now. I, personally, think that you could summarise Maud as the 'anti-Pinkie' in more ways than one. As she said herself, she follows her own rhythm and she doesn't really do things the way Pinkie does.

I also think we've met the pony who is most likely to inherit the farm. She obviously a powerful geokinetic (which I suspect is the other inherit Earth Pony talent alongside plant growth and shaping) and a geologist by training and choice. Her poetry showed that her passion is in rock and the fact that she discovered a kind of rock that can be used in candy is an indicator of her abilities.

Likely cutie mark? Probably an open geode with a bright core to represent how much her love for her sister is a defining aspect of her personality. It wouldn't surprise me if she earned it by finding the sugar candy rock (likely in an attempt to get Pinkie interested in the family trade).

It was a good bit of characterisation and it also challenged the other five main characters by forcing them to go outside of their friendship comfort zone.
