Talk:Cutie mark/@comment-2170890-20120924132135

G1: Mostly the pony's personality.

Tales: What the pony likes/enjoys doing, or his/her job.

G3: What the pony is good at.

G4: Kind of a combination in a sense, and also a motivating storyline.

Sadly, all generations contain at least one pony (if only it was just one) who's cutie mark (or symbol, as they were once known) is based on the pony's name only, and has not one thing to do with the character.
