So as I was contemplating various aspects of the series, I realized that there are two pony characters in the group of Twilight's inner circle and the princesses who are have been left out of certain trends in the series-see the title of this thread. It's just rather striking because they-particularly Starlight-seem to have been included in so many other of these aspects. Like the Mane 6, Starlight has been called by the Cutie Map, briefly taken on the appearance of a Crystal pony, and even-though this is really a low point in my opinion-received an Equestria Girls incarnation. However, the two biggest areas in which both she and Cadance have been excluded have been that 1: neither of them have had any sort of full-on transformation, and 2: neither of them has a pet. For comparison:
- Celestia-has been depicted with two evil forms and has Philomena.
- Luna-...Nightmare Moon...and she has-at least in the comics-Tiberius.
- Twilight-had the whole Rainbow power thing and Owlowiscious.
- Rarity-" ", Nightmare Rarity, and Opalescence.
- Rainbow-" " and Tank.
- Fluttershy-" " and Angel...among others.
- Applejack-" " and Winona.
- Pinkie-" ", her evil Alicorn form, and Gummy.
To be fair, Cadance is also the only member of this grouping who's married with a child, so she's unique in that regard. I just kind of wonder whether she or Starlight will ever join the others in these categories.--Kilmarnock228 (talk) 21:47, August 18, 2017 (UTC)
