@Leaf Shade: I wouldn't call Scootaloo popular (even though I personally like her) - a lot of bronies seem to give her the Applejack (who I also like) treatment because she never does anything.

In regards to your question; here is an answer based on my own personal opinion of the character: Firstly, all the CMC are clones on the outside, they are the younger versions of their main six counting parts because the CMC are basically the Main Six Part 2 on the outside, but they have their own personality as well. The thing is about Scootaloo is that (unlike the other too) she's trying to copy another pony, rather than just naturaly taking after her. It's kind of cute from that angle, it makes her easy to relate to for me because kids her age will often model themnselves on someone else, when they don't need to - this is made clear to the viewer by the fact that the pony she chooses to idolize is a pony who did the exact same thing as her in the past (i.e. tried to be somepony else). It's basically pointing out that's it's good to have role models, but you should be yourself as well.

I actually have an idea on how I want Scootaloo's stroyline to go (and also how I want her relationship with Dash to go), and if it never happens, I'll will use it in my fanseries because I personally think it would help the characterization of both ponies.
