In Mage's story he mentions Derring's eyes being duller than Daring's too

It took me longer than it should have to realize that Daring and Derring are different characters.
Pronounced "Sid-zellia"

Fools! You've overestimated me!

[up] To be fair, they ARE supposed to sound very similar. Their parents weren't very original [lol]

[up][up] I'm not sure. We still haven't figured out anything about their mom really.

Anyway, I'm travelling to college naow

Sounds plausible.

Why Darlene? That's not a very pony name. Just go with Darling. Fits with the other names.

Good morning everyone.

I've got a quick question: are all pegasi from Cloudsdale? Or are there more pegasi towns?

Cloudsdale is the seat of Pegasi Civilisation from before Classical Equestria was founded, otherwise it's the new cultural center of Equestrian Pegasi. There are other places for Pegasi to live, but Cloudsdale is the center of their racial culture.

Also, Nicovideo users comment on Call of the Cutie!

What Ace said, basically. Cloudsdale is unique in that it might actually be the original city of the pegasi; Platinum's castle, if it still exists, is where it sat beforehand, and the earth ponies certainly wouldn't move their physical village, but the pegasi could presumably have just moved Cloudsdale and reshaped the prevailing air currents so it wouldn't move after it was placed somewhere in Equestrian airspace.

I mean, granted, we haven't heard of other pegasi towns, and Equestria isn't really huge, but it can't be the only pegasus town.

Now I can imagine Daring going to Old Cloudsdale, a massive stone-and-cloud derelict city just above the peak of a gigantic mountain. All the grey (dust-filled) ancient clouds that look just like the stone pillars they weave amongst, the Greek/Spartan style deco, the greened bronze equipment lying unused inside old houses.

Daring Do and the Saddle of Hurricane! She heads out to Old Cloudsdale to hunt down a piece of Commander Hurricane's original armor or something.

I think it could be the only pegasi city in Equestria. It's a big city and there doesn't seem to be many pegasi in Equestria. And some pegasi (Fluttershy, Scootaloo) live on the ground anyway.

@Ace: Wouldn't that be akin to Hurricane's lingerie? XD

^This is another consideration. It may be that we're getting a biased sample, since not many pegasi live in Ponyville, it seems, but there does appear to be slightly fewer pegasi (and unicorns) than earth ponies.

Well we've only seen Canterlot and Earth Pony towns mainly. The one time we saw Cloudsdale it was all in the industrial area or at the invite only/expensive sports event.

How many pegasi actually live in Ponyville? Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Scootaloo and Derpy are the only ones I can think of.

Think back to Winter Wrap Up and remember the GIANT DRILL IN THE SKY. That's how many.

Don't the weather team live in Cloudsdale?

That would make no sense whatsoever. Each town has their own weather team. It'd take forever for different teams to just travel away from Cloudsdale and then back.

@Red: No, she's looking for armor, not something like that frilling saddle padding Spike accidentally found while rooting through Twi's drawers [lol]

^I wouldn't think so. Cloudsdale handles big stuff like rainbows, but I expect that Ponyville has its own team for storms and clouds and stuff.

One thing that really annoys me is people assuming Dash lives in Cloudsdale. It's gotta be a ways away (though not more than a few hours by train).

[up][up][up]Alright, fair point.

I'm just saying that there seems to be fewer pegasi than unicorns and earth ponies.

[up] Doesn't Dash have her own house just outside Ponyville?

There are probably some pretty dedicated Pegasi couriers who simply fly messages around.

^Yeah, she does, but I've seen people insist that she lives in Cloudsdale. Maybe that little puff she was hoarding in "Return of Harmony" was built into her house's yard later, I dunno. XD

Even if Dash did live in Cloudsdale would it really matter? She's the fastest flyer in Equestria, she could just fly to Ponyville in a minute or two. Or course, it would be difficult for her friends to contact her.
