Forgot to upload this. Some notes on my choices on body types for my interpretation of the Mane Six. Apart from the compact Rainbow, I’ve had these notions for them for some time. Seeing these drawings by Dilarus -→ >>1323088t gave me that last piece for my picture, so 100% credit to them for that idea!

I hadn’t given much thought to Rainbow, mainly because it’s taken me ages to warm up to her character; I’m put off by brash, loudmouthed jocks in general, so that aspect tended to overwhelm her more likeable characteristics. But the notion of her being small, even for a Pegasus in these days of blending between the three types, fit with her flying abilities and her personality. If you want to be fast and nimble in the air, you can’t be large, full stop. Also, smallness often goes with a certain brashness; I’m sure most of you have had, or been, at some point, that one rather diminutive friend who simply must take up far more space than necessary.

Anyway, I don’t think I have anything more to add right now.
