Twilight Sparkle is a unicorn pony with a lavender body and an indigo mane and tail with pink and purple streaks running through it. She is the primary protagonist of the series, appearing in almost every episode and based mostly on the unicorn pony named Twilight from Rescue at Midnight Castle in the original 1980s series and the G3 earth pony named Twilight Twinkle. Extremely gifted with magic, she is Princess Celestia's protégée, once considered knowledge more important than friendship. When the danger of the Mare in the Moon loomed, Princess Celestia sent her to Ponyville to learn the importance of friendship, which proved invaluable in her confrontation with Nightmare Moon. She decides to stay in Ponyville and study friendship with her mentor's blessings. Twilight studies extensively and takes an organized, analytical approach to solving problems. She also sometimes appears to have an insecure side in some of the episodes when it comes to fitting in. Unlike other unicorn ponies, Twilight can perform a wide variety of magic, including teleportation on occasions. Her spirit represents the element of magic.
Applejack is an earth pony with an orange body and blonde mane and tail. Originally, she was featured in the 1984 TV special Rescue from Midnight Castle and has almost the same appearance she had in the original episode, but with fewer apples on her cutie mark. Applejack is very dependable and down-to-earth, but also a little stubborn. She wears a brown cowboy hat and is the only one of the six main characters who keeps her mane and tail tied back, instead of letting them fall loose. Applejack comes from a large family of ponies with apple-related names, spread all over Equestria, who oversee apple orchards and run a group of businesses to sell apples and products made from them. Applejack has demonstrated her strength and dexterity on many occasions, and she is also very skilled with a lasso. She represents the element of honesty.
