This is a good analysis! There is something impressive about those simple designs that get it "just right". I think Posey is another one example where the design elements come together very well (she's popular for a reason!)
Unpopular opinion: I loved the fact that humans and humanoid characters like the witches were in the first generation of MLP. It somehow made the world more believable to 5 year old me and I.... dreamed of the day Wind Whistler would come to take me away to ponyland.
I don't really like the sitting pose. Sorry.
I legit believed as a 5 year old that ponies lived over the rainbow. I also wanted a pegasus to come take me there xD.I didn't believe in santa but I believed in ponies. Bless xD.But I hated Megan. Bearing in mind I had only 4 episodes as a kid and Megan is I think only in 2 of them...I think maybe it was more than just her animated persona. I generally assumed the animation got a lot wrong anyway, because of the US ponies/names.But I flat out ignored Sundance because of Megan, poor pony. I never wanted her because I had a violent hatred as a kid of blond haired blue eyed dolls as well. Being a blond haired blue eyed kid, I did not want dolls that looked at all like me, and all the dolls at that time did -.-. Fortunately Megan was hardly ever in the comic. There were a lot of other humanoid characters though, like Wizard Wantall and the Weather Witch and Miranda, and so on, and I never minded them at all. So maybe I just had a lot of hate for Megan in particular.
I'd love to know the story behind "Lilac" and "Score". Normally I'd assume they were just early names for them that were changed after it was too late to fix it for the cartoon, but that's the only place those names have ever turned up, right? I know there's a catalogue page or something out there that lists some early names for the other brothers - Steamer's original name was Casey IIRC - but I think Quarterback is still Quarterback on there.. and none of the *other* boys had their names messed up in the cartoon... so what gives? It really feels like there must be an explanation for them - they didn't just get those names out of nowhere - but where DID they come from...?
