Well... she IS the main character, really. Sure it diverts after every two parter but Twilight is the character that has unbelieavable magic and leadership. And while I wouldnt say im a fan of her, I still quite like her and root for her (i.e. The Crystal Empire episode).

If there was a "Most Improved Character" then Applejack would probably be the first. As for "Best Pony", I actually might have to go with Fluttershy or even freaking Scoots (if we include non-Mane Six). I love Applejack but damn were her episodes soooo god damn predictable and boring. Keep Calm and Flutter On was really, one of the most impressive character conflict i've seen in this series, let alone this season. Tremendous courage and willpower against the peer pressure from both sides and yet she never gave up (hell, I felt sad when Discord realized his wrong doings).

Scoots in Sleepless in Ponyville, well... god damn, I KNOW that kind of character. Hell, I use to be like her. Trying to impress someone who's 'cooler' just so I can be accepted. She also had one of the best character conflicts (add to that, the nightmare scenes and the jeopardy she was in at the end). And the ending... just heartbreaking

But maybe im being unfair. I held my hype for the AJ episodes to such a pedestal whereas I had low expectations for Sleepless and Keep Calm. Still though, both were amazing eps and Fluttershy and Scootaloo deserve best pony. Sorry Applejack, but... why do your stories just have to be so... meh? (however, she also has the best support moments. And hell, maybe we'll get more great AJ moments in the next two episodes)
