Wow, those marks are interesting! She looks beautiful with them Characters can be represented multiple ways. Medley is a full character, just because she isn't a recurring character in FIM doesn't mean she is not as much as a solid character as say Rarity. Medley has a back card, she is in the comics, and she was in the G1 movies and in the show. Characters in stories are not more of a character than just the toy characters. Let me ask you a question: why would you never do it to a G4 but you would do it to a G1?

Let me ask you a question: why would you never do it to a G4 but you would do it to a G1?I think Medley's marks are from someone using the old acne cream treatment for spot removal - it wasn't realised at the time that it bleaches the colour out of the plastic as well! I've got to agree with you there, pretty much every pony is a 'full character', they appeared in comics, their personality is on their backcard, etc - just as much as those who made it into animated form in any generation (be it 1, 2 (the PC game), 3, 3.5 or 4 The G4/G1 remark makes me a little sad too, they might not be entirely your cup of tea, but please respect the ponies that came before
In my opinion she would still be Medley but I think it's okay if you want to write a story about her. It would be closer to a fanfic story about Medley than an original character story. unless you drastically change her symbol. It could still be related to music somehow fi that works in your story. That being said if you do decide to use her in a story you create I don't think anyone is going to look down on you for doing so. The G1's had backcard stories the UK comics and fact file as well as the TV specials and movies and many MLP storybooks. The comics gave us more insight on some characters like Majesty. (she never appeared in the animated shows but was a very prominent figure in the comics) Moondancer's backcard mentions her becoming angry at Cotton Candy for eating too many flowers and placing her in hibernation. I think it's unfair to say that most G1 characters are not well developed in comparison to G4 ones. Ponyfan

PonyfanI was saying as far as I knew many including this one weren't I know some are but that's why I asked to be sure before I did something stupid
When I play with the toys she'll represent the character in that spot but I'll design a new character for that spot may just use her flaw marks I do occasionally put a cannon character in the story for like a minute but only to tie in the lore (Luna visited my main characters nightmare once, trixie performed at a birthday party) but for the most part o avoid them.I wish I could get to all those back card stories and comics I had no clue comics were a thing and only knew baby Quakers and rainfeather had back card stories cause my friend wrote a fabric around those
