    I think ED is really Trixie Daily. I mean seriously. Why choose some spoiled unicorn brat wannabe magician . Think of the others like Derpy, Scootaloo (Best pony) and Doctor Whooves. They would be way better stories! Also screw Gilda, we already know she is just a bully who likes Rainbow Dash.

  • Yandalf - 12 years ago

    Zecora! She comes from faraway lands, so her backstory would make for, at the very least, an interesting trip through Equestria and those other lands. Besides, who doesn't like the rhyming? :D

  • PrincessCadence - 12 years ago

    Trixie or Zecora.
    Gilda has a moderate backstory because we know she was Rainbow Dash's friend at flight camp, we know nothing about Trixie or Zecora.
    Discord we know enough about. There IS backstory for him in the show.
    Chrysalis is not coming back guys. She wasn't a substantial enough villain, I doubt Discord will be coming back either despite the popular demand.
    Mayor Mare is a stock character. She is like the Mayor in the Powerpuff Girls: she's there to be kind of bumbling and to be the mayor, that's about it.
    I'd like to see more on Cadence and Shining Armor, but that's pretty much a guarantee for Season 3. Scootaloo and Cheerilee also belong on this list.

  • Mrrandomlulz - 12 years ago

    X-pony origins: Discord

    with less mouths stitched shut

  • Gilda The Griffin - 12 years ago

    Oops, my bad, Luna ain't even on here. That's dumb of me.

  • Gilda The Griffin - 12 years ago

    How come I see no love for Gilda? You know, it would help the show a lot if we took our focus off the Ponies and expanded the MLP universe a bit. I find it ignorant from a lot of the fans.

    Also, why is Mayor Mare on here? Like there is much we want to know about her. She's the mayor, end of story.

    Also, Trixie is in the lead?! Why do so many of you love her so much? Sure she was a bit comical and her personality is unique I must admit. But what we need for Trixie is an episode about her, not a backstory. Would you really want to hear about some Unicorn that wanted attention? I know that it would be boring...

    Princess Luna is in second? You do realize we already know her backstory right?

    All I say is to expand the universe and wonder about those who had a direct affiliation with the Mane Six. Gilda would let us know more about Rainbow Dash and Cloudsdale, and their previous friendship with each other.

  • bugbox - 12 years ago

    LOLTROLOLLO trixy pwns all of your mediocre one trick poonies.

  • inkBot - 12 years ago

    I'd love to see a episode centred entirely around Celestia. :3

  • Jay911 - 12 years ago

    Scratch.

  • Vexton - 12 years ago

    @Gluefactory Well it does come with the territory, being an entertainer of sorts.

  • Gluefactory - 12 years ago

    Trixie is best attention horse...

  • Lykos - 12 years ago

    Why isn't there an "all" option? D:

    Anyway, voted for Trixie, The Great and Powerful.

  • PanzerK - 12 years ago

    Trixie! Of course!

  • KTS - 12 years ago

    I voted for other because Scootaloo.

  • Arcane Scroll - 12 years ago

    The Great And Powerful Scootaloo!

  • NiborBrony! - 12 years ago

    I was sure Discord, Great and Powerful Trixie and Zecora would be the most voted before i ve even voted, i decided to Discord cause his existence is related to the Equestria History, so that could be more epic than the others, more adventures and all that stuff... Who wouldn't like that?

  • DuoDynamo - 12 years ago

    Scootaloo!

  • Iggy - 12 years ago

    Discord all the way.

    More Discord means more Celestia means more Luna means more Equestrian history which means more Elements of Harmony and possibly more Chrysalis.

    Plus, de Lancie as Discord is the most hilariously entertaining thing I've ever seen. I love it.

  • Colgatepony - 12 years ago

    Who doesn't want to know about Zecora's homeland and how she ended up in the Everfree Forest???

  • Estlib - 12 years ago

    DERPY MUST HAVE AN EPISODE!!!! so i voted "other"

  • Call Me Straws - 12 years ago

    Scootaloo. Nuff said.

  • Nornin - 12 years ago

    I'm a little surprised how well Trixie is doing, even though I voted for her.

  • Eric Cramer - 12 years ago

    Once again, people vote for their favorite charecters, ignoring the question entirely.

    At least it isn't as bad as AJ and the Cakes getting shafted in the baking poll by some two bit hack that they barely trust in their kitchen.

  • Henry_Slinkman - 12 years ago

    I personally would love to see an episode similar to "Twenty-Two Short Films About Springfield".

  • Thomas - 12 years ago

    Well, I want to know more about Mayor Mare.

  • narwhalsbend - 12 years ago

    The Great and Powerful Trixie is in the lead. Was there ever any doubt?

  • ACR6.8 - 12 years ago

    We need some trixie

  • Pony Thread Commentator - 12 years ago

    The boring and overrated Trixie does not need a background episode! Neither does Zecora. Discord, Chrysalis, Scootaloo, Celestia and Luna are/would be good & interesting choices. Trixie is just worst pony!

  • shudderbrush - 12 years ago

    Scootaloo!

    Does she have a ground home in Ponyville like Fluttershy, or live in a Cloud Home like Rainbow Dash?

    Does she live with her parents? Does she even still HAVE parents, or is she an orphan?

    Why can't she fly yet?

    We a have absolutely no evidence to deny that she isn't a homeless orphan who sleeps under the Poniville bridge every night. She NEEDS some backstory.

  • CaveShinobi - 12 years ago

    Discord. First, great character; knowing more about him would be neat. Second, Equestrian history. Third, and the best, interactions with Luna and Celestia.

  • betamite - 12 years ago

    first oh all trixie is best pony./ period. that being said while i really (REALLY REALLY REALLY) want another trixie episode, zecora needs some god damn back-story. all we know about her is shes a zebra alchemist (or witch doctor take your pick i call her an alchemist because of Fallout Equestria but hey thats just me) and that she comes from a far away country. if she doesn't get an episode in s3 ima be pissed

  • betamite - 12 years ago

  • Connor - 12 years ago

    RD really needs some backstory.

  • Kaden Jahusk - 12 years ago

    Wow, a poll that isn't totally one-sided.

  • Joffenater - 12 years ago

    I was stuck between Chrysalis and other. I want to know the story of Celestia and Luna and their history. Because, so far, our main knowledge is that either Luna turned into Nightmare Moon because of jealousy or because Celestia was (and possibly still is) some evil tyrant.

    But Chrysalis is also intriguing; was her plan just to get into Equestria and lie low? Did she originally want to feed her subjects peacefully but wasn't able to negotiate with Celestia? Or is she just an asshole by nature? Also, she feeds on love, how could they defeat her with it?

    Eventually I went with other because I feel the writers could make a better episode on Celestia and Luna.

  • Bethani - 12 years ago

    I agree I think Scootaloo needs a backstory.

  • bob - 12 years ago

    WHAT ABOUT SCOOTALOO!

  • Marvelous TK - 12 years ago

    Hmm, I voted Chrysalis, but I'm still not 100% that it was the right choice. I mean, I'd love to see more Chrysalis and such, yeah. But Zecora is awesome and, frankly, is the most likely on this list to have good episode-material in her backstory. So even though I placed my vote, I'm still split. And probably always will be. Until this poll is over and I forget about it forever.

  • Strawberry Popcorn - 12 years ago

    OMG, Trixie, Gilda and Discord are my favourite characters inthis show. THIS IS LIKE CHOOSING BETWEEN MY MOM AND MY DAD!
    Oh, sweet Celestia.
    You don't have the less idea of HOW MUCH I want to see the Great and Powerful Trixie again. Whatever haters say, SHE IS THE BEST IN THIS SHOW.
    But, I think Gilda is kinda cool too. I love her as much as Trixie. And... I have to admit, Gilda and I booth hate Pinkie Pie.
    But my final choose is DISCORD! Of course! He's a smexy-sersy evil draconequus♥ And I want to know even more about him. Y'know.
    But Trixie still my favourite character EVER! YOU BITCHES WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND WHY I LOVE HER. SCREW YOU, TRIXIE HATERS.

  • TRIXIE_IS_WORST_PONY - 12 years ago

    WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING SETH, YOU DRAGON-FUCKER, RIGGING THE POLL LIKE THAT? NOBODY GIVES A SHIT ABOUT TRIXIE, SHE'S THE SHITTIEST CHARACTER UP TO DATE. IT'S JUST YOU WHO WANTS TO FUCK HER.

  • Rachel Greenham - 12 years ago

    I voted other but can't choose between Derpy and Scootaloo.

  • vanek - 12 years ago

    Trixie is in the lead? This poll is totally rigged...nice show Seth :P

  • Dark_Shadow - 12 years ago

    Think about it guys, we know a bit about the other characters on this poll, but we know next to NOTHING about Mayor Mare.

  • Spoon - 12 years ago

    Where is scootaloo on this poll :c

  • /mlp/ - 12 years ago

    Voted for Queen Chrysalis. Cause i wanna know what made her the way she is. (Still hoping she'll make a return in the show and gets turned into a good pony by the elements of harmony like Nightmare Moon was. I want Queen Chrysalis to become Queen Crystalis) /)(^3^)(\

  • KutosSly - 12 years ago

    I voted other for Scootaloo!

  • Ulfric Stormcloak - 12 years ago

    I voted other for Scootaloo. I know she probably doesnt have much of a back story being a filly and all but I REALLY REALLY wanna know who her parents are and why we never see or hear of them...

  • purpletrauma - 12 years ago

    Y'know, I voted Chrysalis, but in all honesty it was a tough decision.

    I kinda wanted Mayor Mare and Zecora as well in equal portions. As well as "other" for many other favorite background characters that are far less likely to ever get that.

    But Chrysalis won out due to being such an awesomely designed villain.

  • Jfluffy - 12 years ago

    I would like to see more Big Mac but I voted Chrysalis in this poll. I want to know more about the history of the changelings, mostly because I can't help find the Changeling's goal to be morally ambiguous and I want to see what lead them to acquiring love in the fashion that they did in Equestria.

  • Josh - 12 years ago

    I want Prince Blueblood to have an episode to show that he's not a one-dimensional spoiled jerk. And have him hook up with Trixie.

  • Vexton - 12 years ago

    I kind of want to see Trixie episode detailing her a bit more... Her hats to awesome for her to just be a one hit wonder bitch especially with all the stuff you can stir up with her and twilight being idk rivals?

    also I want moar Discord! all da Discord! also I want to see more of the other Equestrian races! JUST BACKSTORY'S EVERYWHERE MAN. But please don't make them 1 episode long monologues of there history... I'd hate to have everything shoved onto my plate about one character in one episode! keep some of that magical mystery baby!

  • kklghmentge - 12 years ago

    Gilda.
    The other ones have a lot of fanon backstory around them and I don't think that should be ruined for our liking. I would choose other, more detailed Twilight, but then there wouldnt be the possibility of more filly Dash.

  • DeliFlame - 12 years ago

    Cheerilee. She's such a sweet character =)

  • Ravenpaw - 12 years ago

    I voted Other for Big Macintosh.

  • customgoban - 12 years ago

    Octavia + vynyl scratch
    Just copy the youtube video (epic wub time), make them roommates and canonize them to the extent of Cherillee and Mayor Mare.

  • Bellinghieri - 12 years ago

    If we know about discord we know about the story of equestria...

  • mrjerrio - 12 years ago

    Obviously the Heart's Warming Eve story is a lie. How did Celestia and Luna wrestle control from Discord? Celestia is obviously the true evil mastermind, plotting to rule all.

  • SirRainbowBlitz - 12 years ago

    Celestia and Luna! They really need an episode that fleshes them out a bit more and explains some of the history of Equestria and their relationship with Discord/Crysalis/the surrounding nations etc etc.

  • Millennial Dan - 12 years ago

    I really couldn't care less where Trixie comes from. Any of the others would be interesting though.

  • nathanisbored - 12 years ago

    Well Scootaloo isn't exactly a "every once in a while character", but I'd still vote for hers before I'd vote for anyone else, so other. It's either that or I don't vote on this one.

  • Yair - 12 years ago

    Can't decide between Queen Chrysalis and The Great and Powerful Trixie.

  • Cold Snap - 12 years ago

    Celestia and Luna. They have so much potential, and have such an interesting relationship, that there's plenty of material and demand for an episode.

  • TheSlorg - 12 years ago

    Junebug! Absolutely need more Junebug and a story for her.

  • Stargazer Stars - 12 years ago

    Oh man this was a tough one. I'm sure all of these characters could have very promising back stories. I personally would love to know first a huge back story behind Celestia and Luna and how it ended up with Luna turning into Nightmare Moon in more detail then the book Twilight read in episode 1 of season 1, but also just more on both of their characters in general because both could have an incredible back story to them.

    But of those listed I think I'd be most interested in Zecora's back story. Like how she discovered her cutie mark ( If for Zebra's they're still call them Cutie Marks ) as well as more about her fellow Zebra's and country.

    Again though, over all I can say that about every character listed here probably has a ton of potential of a great back story.

  • Sly - 12 years ago

    Scootaloo, that's who!

  • Dream_Cast - 12 years ago

    Uhm, Scootaloo, of course. We need to see her family. I am so tired of the orphan stories I see of her.

  • EggheadDash - 12 years ago

    Discord, and by extension Celestia and Luna. We already have a very basic outline of how Discord was ruling and then the alicorns banished him, but I'd like to see that gets its own episode.

  • Hat - 12 years ago

    The leaders of lands, Celestia, Luna, and Crysalis.

  • arthur - 12 years ago

    Um, celestia and Luna? The Diarchal Deific alicorns? Yeah, their lives have the most potential for an interesting backstory.

  • Matt - 12 years ago

    I think that Trixie's character has enough developing her as having some sappy past or reason for being snobby would be too fanfic-y

  • RePoisn - 12 years ago

    Trixie! Becuase Trixe.
    Uh... I mean, because we still don't know what caused her to have an ego like that. If there's anything I learned from Phineas and Ferb, I've learned that emotionally scarring backstories are always awesome. :)

  • Kaprow - 12 years ago

    I wanna see a Celestia episode :O

  • Noxx-ious - 12 years ago

    Voted other, because Celestia/ Luna! They must have some amazing background to share!

  • Rinzuul - 12 years ago

    I 'd really like to see Discord to be honest. Sure, Zecora, Trixie, Gilda, and the others have very promising background stories, but I'd really like to see the interaction between Discord, Celestia, and Luna. Since Discord clearly stated during the episode that he forget how 'grim' Celestia can be.

  • kyat579 - 12 years ago

    Either Celestia / Luna or Scootaloo. Chrysalis would be a good choice as well.

  • KaiyaJude - 12 years ago

    Scootaloo, duh!

  • t-dijk - 12 years ago

    Scootaloo. But of these, Zecora.

    Personally, I'd rather see the show bring new antagonists/villains into the MLP universe than create situations where defeated ones return. I've always found those kinds of plotlines in other shows to be so much more unlikely.

  • Dogman15 - 12 years ago

    Such a hard decision! I'd love to see backstories for all of them!

  • OneBrokePony - 12 years ago

    I vote other and write in Cheerilee
