Spike stood by Twilight's side through thick and thin no matter what happened, and continues to do so after he hit puberty. At first, Twilight didn't care for the dragon but over time, she grew to love him as if he were family. He was initially raised by Princess Celestia, but after a few months, the responsibility was passed to the young Twilight Sparkle. Spike was born in the Era of Princess Celestia when a young Twilight Sparkle grew supercharged due to Rainbow Dash's Sonic Rainboom. The youngest of the heroes, Spike pines for Rarity's heart and will do anything to help his friends, even if he can act mean-spirited or abrasive at times. The Dragon" is Twilight Sparkle's number one assistant' and very best friend. Spike the Dragon, usually just referred to as Spike, affectionately referred to as " Spikey-Wikey" by some of his friends and sometimes formally referred to as " Mr. The Mane 5 first appeared in My Little Pony: A New Generation.Twilight Sparkle (adoptive older sister) While Generation 5's core cast is smaller than previous generations, it is especially unique for its inclusion of a stallion. Until 2021, the Mane Six featured heavily in merchandise and advertising. Earlier art from this point showed that Pinkie Pie was originally going to be a Pegasus, while Fluttershy would have been an Earth Pony, in keeping with their G1 inspirations, though their races were switched at an unknown point. However, they were redesigned using characteristics of G3 ponies due to trademark issues, as Applejack and Spike were the only trademarks from G1 to be retained. In the early stages of development, each member was simply an updated version of a Generation 1 pony: Twilight, Applejack, Posey, Surprise, Firefly and Sparkler. The Mane Six are the six main characters of the TV show, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. The core ponies (and a few variants there of) were the only ponies for G3.5. These were dubbed "Core 7" by collectors, and were the characters re-styled to create G3.5. Late in the series Hasbro stopped making new characters and settled on only putting out seven different ponies repeatedly. Though many other character ponies were made, some of which even had several re-releases. Generation 3 began with eight core pony friends. They were also featured in the Euro comics(?). Towards the end of the line these characters started being released under different names. (The first DVD releases of the G1 TV and movies were released during this time, very often with G2 artwork/ponies all over the packaging, which was/is confusing.)ĭespite the lack of animated unity the main characters were established by featuring only the same four ponies together on all merchandise as well as occasional re-releases. Generation 2 is unique among the generations in that no TV shows or movies were made depicting its characters. Each member had their own toy, but none were released in the United States. They lived in a human-like world populated solely by ponies. The second G1 show, My Little Pony Tales, featured seven preteen ponies as the main characters. The non-pony characters Megan and Spike were the most consistently recurring characters on the show, though some of the ponies from the theatrical movie had repeating roles. However, Firefly, a character from the first special, was heavily featured in merchandise due to popularity. The first G1 show, My Little Pony 'n Friends, featured a large number of ponies, with few ponies appearing in all episodes.
