What I'm hoping is that the writers do with Babs what they did with Cranky Doodle Donkey, in that they actually make her a well-written and interesting character, instead of JUST a bully. If there's one cliche I hate, it's how bullies are portrayed as JUST bullies, in how they have no interesting traits, no backstory, they're just there as a plot device. Knowing MLP, the writers are going to avoid that. Consider the following possible traits for Babs:

*She's freaking ENORMOUS, like three times the size and girth of a regular filly. *She's incredibly deadpan, speaking in short sentences and almost in monotone with an equally dry, unimpressed expression throughout. "I'm taking your scooter." "I'm taking your treehouse." "Say anything and I'll sit on you."  *The episode could defy the cliche she comes from a bad home and/or was picked on before. Turns out, she's just a straight-up sadist. "Truth is...I just like beating people up."
