Poor Moondancer. One moment the target of Spike's affection, the next dumped for Rarity. Love is such a fickle thing.

Fandom is a weird beast when it comes to romance. If you go heavy-handed with the romance between two characters, the fandom recoils in horror and complains that the love interest isn't developed enough. But if you leave romance out entirely, the fandom grabs characters who share a scene—no matter how flat they are—and shouts "Now make them kiss!"
And, since today is apparently National Jump To Conclusions Day...

[up]Well of course. The fandom will naturally gravitate to the situation that allows for the most. . .erm, creativity.

wild mass guess Moondancer was an Astral Projection of the moon-trapped Nightmare Moon; this is why Moondancer's existence was only ever referred to at the beginning of "Friendship is Magic, part 1" EDIT: Oh! And the party Moondancer was having then was in the hope of getting Twilight Sparkle to come there instead of reading to learn about the Mare in the Moon! wild mass guess

@ Apple, that could work, long as it's more he simply didn't get why how he was acting would offend somepony then he was actually trying to do so.

@ Seraphem

Yeah that's exactly what I was going for. He's not biligerant, just insensitive.

Okay, so I need to make a Threshold Guardian for Fluttershy (The theme here would be fear or her absolute inability to fly unless the fate of her friends hinges on it, so fear or fear)

So Moon Dancer is an astral projection by Nightmare Moon and Twist is Applebloom's imaginary friend brought to life? So are any ponies even real, or just changelings?

Speaking of Twist, it looks like Twist-a-loo and Silver Spoon may be getting brushable toys

@ CDRW: I see from the voting that I'm in the minority, but I think those ponies(?) are hideous.

I think they have a bit of an Ugly Cute thing going on. Especially Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie.

I'd like to see

1) Twilight go to one of Moondancer's parties.

2) Twilight wave back at poor Lyra.

I'm surprised Moon doesn't get more fan attention, consider she's the first pony we see and has a speaking line to boot.

Twilight and Moondancer haven't seen each other since the pilot. Moonie is probably wondering how that aloof bookworm got to be a princess.

Good evening, everyone. How goes the day?

Applelight, I saw your AJ and it pleased me, good job, man.

She must have seen her on Canterlot visits though. But if she had, she must have freeked out hard during the changeling invasion along with everypony else who wasn't at the wedding.

Just imagine opening your door one fine day and see a dozen insectoid monsters come after you. Or even worse, your friends who seem just a little off.

In My Little, I'm having Spike's affection or Moon Dancer be kind of important. Relatively. Not nearly as much as his affection for his families though.

@Syd: Come to think of it, during the "Life in Equestria" song at the end of "Magical Mystery Cure", Twilight does a bunch of waving to the crowd which includes Lyra, and a few shots later we see Lyra jumping up and down with her manic grin...could it be?

@Dark: The first pony we see (outside of the Storybook Opening) is Twilight, and all three of the lines spoken to and about Twilight on her way to where Spike is are spoken by Twinkleshine (despite having been recorded from three different VAs).

Wow, they pulled a G1 on us!

Or you could go with the funnier option that Twinkleshine is schizophrenic.

Actually, I'm pretty sure Moondancer isn't the pony we see at the beginning of the pilot. I mean, didn't the pony in question say that they were going "to Moondancer's party"? Well, unless Moonie's some sort of Third-Person Person.

@Mio: The DVD commentary for the first season said that Twilight lived in a dorm, for at least part of her schooling. I'm guessing she did have interaction with other students, but little of it was voluntary social interacting. Like she probably had group projects and went to class with other students and stuff, but never really hung out with other ponies just for the sake of companionship.

@Meta: Hey, I like my shipping well-developed. Why do you think I wrote a 150K word-and-counting fic?

There is a series of comics that depict Twinkleshine as being Moondancer who speaks in third person. But yeah, we never see or hear Moondancer, she's just mentioned.

Fun fact, Twilight Sparkle was originally going to have a variation of G1 Moondancer's cutie mark!
