I'm a long time science fiction and animation fan who stumbled into My Little Pony fandom and got caught -- I guess I'm a Brony Forever now.

And, as you may have noticed, Wind Whistler is very much Best G1 Pony for me.

Windwhistler was always my favourite :heart:

An interesting meditation on the state of Pony Spock on the eve of the Nightmare's return. Thank you for it.

I tried to characterize her as logical, sometimes irritable, more passionate than she seems on the surface, and a damned impressive heroine. Without making her come off as seeming really full of herself, cuz she's not. She just knows she's smart and does what she thinks is right.

A Wind-Whistler fic. I am fucking in.

Ooh, can you write more of her? Wind Whistler is a very interesting character.

An interesting bit of exploration of Whistler's thoughts and plans, and reinforcing the relationships between the voices in Discord's head.

One minor typo:

Wind Whistler was well aware that most Ponies, in any historical age, would have considered her cold-blooded for thinking about love in such mathematical terms, even ahd they not known of the actual charts...

5324829 I know... but, like, other stories featuring her.

I almost certainly will -- I love the character. She's not precisely "Pony Spock," but she does have the same sort of tension between passion and reason, the same sort of supergenius-level intellect, and is admirable in many of the same ways as was Spock. One notable difference is that she's not at all pacifistic, though she prefers peace to war.

5325473 I don't actually know who Spock is, so I can't exactly make a comparison.

Oh! Spock was one of the three main characters on Star Trek (the original series) and was important in many of the movies. He was half-Vulcan, half-Human, and raised in the Vulcan culture, which extolled rationality and had a low opinion of emotion. Spock was a brilliant scientist, and Captain Kirk's best friend. He was also really dangerous in a fight. Wind Whistler was probably at least partially-inspired by him.

5325739 He sounds like a cool person. Never watched or read (it is a book, right?) Star Trek, so I was kind of confused.

The original Star Trek was a TV series that ran during the late 1960's. Many follow-on TV series, movies and books have ensued.

Wow, I haven't watched G1 since I was really, really young, I actually had to look up Wind Whistler again. I had forgotten just how boss she was. I like the take on Discord and various ponies sharing his head space with him. Thank you for the read. :)

Wind Whistler was the most interesting of the G1 Ponies because she was not only the smartest one, but also (along with Firefly) one of the ones who was most obviously a "natural fighter" -- which is to say intensely courageous and not afraid to engage in direct violence for good cause. She was also one of the ones Megan clearly respected and liked the most -- Megan herself was highly intelligent and a natural fighter.

In the SWSV, after the Pony POVerse, I postulate that she was the direct mentor to Celestia, Luna and Discord when they were young. She's the one from whom Celestia got her concept of how a teacher should be to her students -- she was Celestia's Most Beloved Teacher. She was also the one who taught Luna, in particular, how to fight. She's also the one after whom Celestia and Luna in particular most morally-modeled themselves.

Discord, even aware of his own superior levels of power, was always a bit afraid of her. He's quite aware that if they were at equivalent power levels, he'd barely stand a chance against her. In a scene I have not yet published in the SWSV, when Discord originally turned evil he fought Wind Whistler one-on-one. Wind Whistler came close to winning that fight. She's just that good.

7061831 I didn't even know you knew of this generation Jordan. Let alone have any idea you knew Wind Whistler. :eeyup: I was always very much drawn to her from the time I was very young myself. She really helped to learn to appreciate smart women/mares. To this day she holds a very special place in my heart and always will. :heart:

It was kind of stupid that they accused her not having feeling during Crunch the Rockdog. She had show that she did have them too often before then making the timing of the episode a little silly.
