I agree with the "blank slate" part to a certain degree, but I think it's a little presumptuous to say her character traits and interests come out of nowhere in accordance to the writers' on-the-spot whims. (Her interest in kites, for example, was teased at back in the season 6 finale.)

We know she's always been a very curious type when it comes to learning about new things (The Crystalling, Celestial Advice). We know she tends to be spontaneous and go with her gut when making decisions (Every Little Thing She Does). We know she likes meeting new ponies (The Cutie Map, No Second Prances). All those things are on display here. They weren't just made up on the spot for the sake of the story.
