Character interpretations. (Pinkie) · 3:29pm Jun 2nd, 2013
I am working on a story, and I figured "Hey, why not use Pinkie?"
While I was writing for Pinkie I realized something, it is nye impossible to have true dialog to her. (True as in true to the character.)
The biggest issue I found with this is having conflict between characters. While most characters are having a problem with themselves, they will blame it on outside forces, but if they see another pony having problems they think there is something wrong with that pony.
Pinkie however will see another pony having problems and also blame it on outside forces. While giving the pony the benefit of the doubt is important, it makes it hard for a writer.
Also Pinkie is actually not random. (hear me out)
Pinkie will solve a problem by trying to help the pony in trouble by dissipating blame, while others just push it in another direction. This also creates trouble though, because some ponies don't want help. Pinkie will continue to try and create distractions for that pony up until it spirals out of control, creating a random effect.
Pinkie's character is really interesting and in the end it all makes sense. I have a new respect for Pinkie now that I know more of her character development is all I'm saying in the long run though.
