This list is the hardest of all to do because not only does Applejack have the least amount of expys at five (tied with Rarity) but she also has very little in the way of actual expys that can truly count because she has so little character (she's a farmer, she's stubborn, she's down to earth, that's it). One of these expys is from Equestria Girls, but it's hard to truly define where these expys should line up even though this is the result of my personal opinion. And no, Sandbar doesn't count

Rarity didn't get as many expys as every other member of the mane six we've covered up to this point, probably because she's such a complex character and thus hard to truly pin down to one attribute. Still, she managed to get a total of officially five expys from some very unexpected places. As always, we're looking at how these characters function as an expy of the mane six member they're based on and not just how they are as characters as a whole.

Pinkie Pie might have gotten a ton of expys, but Fluttershy got perhaps the most out of the whole bunch, although at least two eventually became more of their own characters. And today we're going to be looking at the eight official Fluttershy expys from the show (no comics exclusive characters) and how they would stack up. As always, this list is purely the result of my personal opinion so please respect it.

How fitting to do this on Pinkie Pie Day on Equestria Daily (this was not intentional on my part). I'm aware that there are expys for other characters and we'll definitely talk about them over the next few days. But Pinkie Pie got the most expys out of anyone, even more than Twilight Sparkle or Fluttershy despite the former being the main character and the latter being insanely popular. Whenever a character gets popular there's always attempts to create other characters based on him or her, and

Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy got a lot of expys, and Rainbow Dash did too. It might just be because it's easy to make variations of their character types (it's a lot harder to do it for someone as complex as Rarity or as straight mareish as Applejack, which may be why they don't have more than two or three expys at best). Anyway, Rainbow Dash got a grand total of ten expys officially (not counting comics exclusive characters or any Equestria Girls characters since even Indigo Zapp didn't quite get

Ten years ago today, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic debuted to the world! Hardly anyone thought it would be a big deal, no one imagined it would last a decade and change so much. But it did! And in keeping with the joyous celebration today, we're going to be looking at (and ranking) all the Twilight Sparkle expys. Like Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy, Twilight ultimately got eight, though unlike them she had Equestria Girls counterparts/parallels to compare to. So that means Equestria
