She also has some very deep seated insecurities about maintaining her rep and is reluctant to express the more feminine aspects of her personality (seriously addressing this issue would make an awesome Rarity and Rainbow Dash episode). Rainbow Dash is often brash, reckless and arrogant. Applejack is very mature and level headed, family oriented and for the most part tends to be confident and secure in herself. No, I don't think so, yes they have a few key things in common being that they are both athletic, tomboyish and can sometimes get competitive but they have some equally crucial differences. Even if they struggle with them, the important thing is that each pony considers their element a cardinal virtue. Applejack is not as likely to make a bad friend and she can smell a rat. She thinks that work is its own reward and it is better to not seek recognition (she was upset in The Last Roundup for HER failure, not out of worry for the reactions). If she was worried about others not liking her, she'd just talk it out with her friends instead of going all Mare Do Well. She's not gonna kid herself, and she's not as stubborn.Īpplejack is more gentle and straightforward. Do you think Dash would work herself until she literally collapsed? No, she'd take a nap. Do you think Dashie would go overboard in coddling Scootaloo like Applejack did for Apple Bloom? Of course not, she'd let the filly have her independence. Rainbow Dash has no problems with responsibility or knowing just how far to push herself. Applejack wouldn't believe you if you told her she was awesome, but Rainbow Dash would. Rainbow Dash craves for everyone else to pay attention to her and validate her, whereas Applejack can only feel validated by herself. Well, they must be doing something similar, since they're my first and second favorites respectively.īut no. AJ would let it go, even if it meant losing the entire apple farm. Dash would be the one saying "best 2 out of 3" if she would lose or would accuse the other of cheating even though she was the one doing so. Dash does it because she's full of herself and thinks she is the best at anything. AJ gets competitive out of stubbornness, pride, wanting to have a good time. Like I said, I'll give that they are both competitive, but they are that way for different reasons. There's more but I'm having trouble placing everything into words. They are both of those things in different ways even.ĭash is brash, egotistic, refuses to lose and gets hissy if she does, lazy, a loner, enjoys tooting her own horn, does not like letting her emotions be seen, tomboy, and is all about being the coolest most awesome pony around.ĪJ is stubborn, can be brutally honest, hard-worker, is very into family and not afraid of showing how much she cares for them, very open and welcoming with strangers/new friends, country girl, hates losing but does so with pride rather than throw a fit. 99% of the time I can't stand Dash, but on the other hand AJ is my favorite pony.īoth of them being competitive and boyish is not the same thing.
