Description Now that Luna has returned, there is a special project at the top of her list.

Thanks to and Hasbro for this awesome show and the art style used in this comic.

EDIT: Oh, and for those who are wondering, the OC pony flying outside is Carpenterra. She's busy doing some repair work on a palace column

FYI, this isn't as dramatic and awesome as some of you are expecting Next will be very wordy reports of each of the ponies with some art thrown in here and there. I did this for practice with some new styles and because I wanted to explain the aspects of the ponies from a realistic standpoint.

Still, I WILL reveal the spy at the end

I loved this, both the format and the writing style. My personal favorite was your take on Pinkie Pie (though this is likely swayed by it aligning with my own personal views on the matter.)

After reading the entire series of reports. I must say this has been one of my favorite descriptions of the Mane 6..
I found it nearly flawless in its execution.

I will be adding you to my watch list.

I think Celestia knows Luna is up to something. Having read the whole series, it's not something she would get worried about, but she knows something is going on.

Nimaru In reply to rjpugh [2011-10-27 00:16:28 +0000 UTC]

Oh definitely. I think she knows exactly what's going on and has from the beginning.

This is so adorable- I have fave'd this so when I have more time I can read your seires.

I totally love character analysis like this because it shows how in depth the show has made the character.

Also- you draw the ponies very professionally! Luna looks so cute

Alicorn? Don't you mean unipeg? I understand the "corn" is from unicorn but what is the "ali" from?

👍: 0 ⏩: 2

pbdq In reply to songbird21 [2011-10-25 18:24:38 +0000 UTC]

Alicorn is a combination of the Latin words for wing (which I believe is ala) and horn (which is cornu).

elementofchaos7 [2011-10-23 04:09:15 +0000 UTC]

This little series is wonderful. I do wonder who the spy is, but I suppose we'll see soon enough. (I do have one or two suspects, though.) I think my favourite of the reports is Pinkie Pie's, with the rest all in second place. :3

You know, they all made me appreciate the characters even more, especially Applejack and Rarity. I already loved the mane six, but something about these...well, anyway, before I get all tl;dr on you, ed.

Nimaru In reply to elementofchaos7 [2011-10-23 11:22:29 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Writing these actually affected my OWN perceptions of these characters. Thinking that Pinkie might be one of the most powerful beings in the world really made me look at her differently

bakimono [2011-10-22 20:57:28 +0000 UTC]

I only favorite-ed this one, since anyone who actually comes here form my favorites will find the nice links you have provided in the description, but I love them all! It is a very insightful collection of profiles, and manages to keep to canon for the most part while trying to fill in gaps in some of the goings-on that come from the show.
Very nice work, I am enjoying it very much. I do agree with one of the comments above, I'd love to see what comes of this kind of breakdown of Celestia, from the "spy's" POV.

Nimaru In reply to bakimono [2011-10-22 21:03:49 +0000 UTC]

Ha! How would the spy ever be able to observe Celestia without being seen? Celestia's pretty magical you know

Listen man, I hate to impose a deadline, but you probably should get this finished before Saturday. I mean, by then we'll have her motives and interactions with all characters set.
