Description Final Sister team I drew for my series for "Sleepless in Ponyville." I liked how in the beginning RD was just trying to be a "Friend" to Scootaloo and wasn't really sensitive to her emotionally, just treating her as "one of the girls" when she wasn't really at the maturity level to handle herself and she needed/wanted RD to be more of a Big sister. But then RD finally got it when Scootaloo had to flat out break down and pour her little heart out. It was touching how Scootaloo had to admit she was scared to her hero, even when prompted by Princess Luna. And I loved how Luna stepped in and did the supportive role like Princess Celestia would be doing normally. Luna totally nailed it at being one of the good guys. I want to see her more in future episodes.

All your "D'awww"s are belong to us!

(Then Rainbow Dash left for WonderBolt Academy the next week.)

If there's any episode of a Saturday morning cartoon that I feel should win an Oscar, Emmy or Whatever. It's this one. It totally got all my feels. It inspired me to make a series of humanized pony drawings of all the sister teams.

I'm dedicating this series to a friend, Jenn whose apartment recently burned down and she lost almost everything. She's a really cool steam pal and pegasister. So, if you like the art and can help out with the relief effort, I've provided a link below that can tell you more, anything would be appreciated.

And here's a drawing I did of one of Jenn's cosplays. [link]

This picture is so... heart-warming!
The episode it came from was also very sweet of Rainbow Dash to take Scootaloo under her wing.

You do have to wonder whether Scootaloo has ever had anypony really care about her before. Why does she need Rainbow Dash so much? Can't her parents or guardians fill that void? Seemingly not!

We haven't seen what her home life is like.
I'm sure they have her having boring parents and stuff, like the other girls. But I think what she wanted from RD was a role model that was everything she wanted to be. You know, the "Big Sister" to look up too that her friend's have.

I like those proportionally-correct wings. Dash's wingspan looks like it's about 12-14 feet. Sounds about right for a creature the size of a human.

Yeah, I wanted to make them look awesome and inspirational.

Somewhat believable as a pegasus could be.
