Hi I finally decided on a main cast. There are no Spike NGs in my NG because I do not like Spike- Spike simply does not exist. I am choosing not to acknowledge him.

Bottom to top:

Butterscotch Apple — Butterscotch is the only child of Apple Brown Betty and Sunshower. Their relationship didn't follow the Apple family norms, being that they tended to marry into other farming or at least wealthy families- but the family loves him all the same. When Betty found out she was with foal, she and Sunshower moved into Sweet Apple Acres with her cousins- as she felt this would give her child a more stable upbringing, especially since she knew how kind the ponies of Ponyville tended to be (Sunshower had lived there for a small while). She gave birth to her foal, a rather large filly, who ended up being rambunctious and extremely tomboyish. He eventually came out to his family as a trans stallion, and they accepted him with open arms. He grew up with his Aunt Pinkie's daughter, Punchline Pie, and his Aunt Fluttershy's daughter, Fawn. They are completely inseperable, even when he went quiet for a few years when dealing with some mental health struggles. He has a boyfriend, Emerald Star, a high-class unicorn from Canterlot, and Big Mac and Applebloom's cousins are just like his own siblings. His talent is… well, he's not even exactly sure, and he's a little scared to ask Aunt Applebloom for any help.

Punchalina 'Punchline' Maud Pie — Punchline is the middle child of Pinkie Pie and Trixie Lulamoon. Her parents got together following Cheese Sandwich's unfortunate passing, where Trixie offered Pinkie a shoulder to cry on and completely free babysitting services. Punchline grew up an extremely hyper and friendly filly, almost exactly in her mother's footsteps, and made easy friends with anybody she met- but she never got as close to anybody as her two childhood friends, Fawn and Butterscotch. She found her talent early on- making punch (as in the drink… not GBH), but enjoys stand-up comedy just as much, something she picked up from her Aunt Maud. Her full-time career is stand-up comedy, a job that led her to meet her girlfriend Clarity Belle when performing at one of her mother's boutique openings in the Crystal Empire. She brought the group together, meeting Aubade after attending the Gala and meeting Captain whilst performing some kind of comedy act on his ship… Lord knows how she gets this kind of gig, she is Pinkie's kid, let it happen. The only ponies she loves as much as her girlfriend and best friends are her siblings, her older brother Lucky 'Li'l' Cheese and her 'baby' sister, Blueberry Pie.

Clarity 'Claire' Belle — Claire is the only daughter of world-renowned fashion designer, Rarity Belle, and Inky Rose. Whilst both of her mothers are very active and supportive in her life, they are separated, and she grew up swapping between their homes (not that she minded too much, given the extra attention she'd receive). Since Rarity is more of a world-traveller to help along her career, Claire has seen most, if not all, of Equestria, and a lot of places outside of Equestria, too. However, she finds travelling exhausting and, especially given her missing leg, she doesn't enjoy it too much- so she settled down in Ponyville after meeting her girlfriend, Punchline. She now runs and lives in the Carousel Boutique. She enjoys darker, gothic clothes, but also enjoys making more bright and colourful clothing for her friends (especially Aubade- she loves to dress Aubade up). She doesn't quite want fame like either of her mothers, she enjoys her quiet life in the boutique, and enjoys the small town she lives in. Despite this, she is possibly the most argumentative of the group after Captain, and it is usually those two who end up causing bickering within their friend group (which Aubade and Punchline usually fix)- especially with their competitions against eachother. Her talent is sewing- nothing more than that, but it has many uses.

Fawn Glimmer-Shy — Fawn is the slightly older twin daughter of Starlight Glimmer and Fluttershy. She takes very much after Fluttershy, but not to a debilitating extent- she'd just rather be alone, preferably with animals. She inherited her mother's ability to communicate with animals, but is deathly afraid of bugs. She tends to skip out on group activities simply because she knows she won't enjoy them as much as the others, but she does run a book and poetry club with Aubade. She enjoys spending alone time with Punchline and Butterscotch too, since they're the ponies she's most comfortable around. She has a small crush on Aubade, but, well, most mares do- he doesn't seem to reciprocate her feelings, though. It doesn't seem that she'll ever get a cutiemark.

Captain Amour — Captain Amour doesn't like to disclose his parents, past or his real name. His friends simply call him 'Captain' and leave it at that- and he becomes incredibly distressed if anybody presses him for more- so they don't- but he has told Claire a considerable amount more than he has told anybody else (she'd never say a word though, it's not classy for a lady to share others' secrets). He is a pirate, no matter how much his friends try to discourage him from being a thief, and has his own crew. He tends to get most involved in group activities when it comes to adventuring and quests, since he's extremely good at them. He won't tell anybody what his cutiemark means- though Punchline seems to get uncannily close to guessing (Punch sense, she calls it), that it has something to do with a protection or shield spell- which confuses them all, because he isn't a unicorn. He's pretty cold and distant with everybody, but lets his friends get a little closer than most ponies (except for Exposition- he always had a soft spot for that stallion). He doesn't even show Aubade any considerable amount of respect, which often times leads to Aubade crying in his room and writing sad poetry.

Prince Aubade of The Sun — Despite his big fancy title, Aubade is not in fact in charge of the sun- nothing close, actually. He's still working on being able to do the spell, but it takes a considerable amount of focus and calm- which Aubade simply doesn't have. He has extreme anxiety and a lack of self worth- which only his friends and his 'secret other friend' seem to comfort. He's the son of Queen Celestia and King Sombra, though even he's not sure how that pairing came to pass, he presumes it's a political marriage since his parents never seem to speak. He loves his twin brother, Lunarian, even if he seems distant and never really likes talking to Aubade. Aubade's talent is general literature, but his main focus is poetry. Poetry is the only time his anxiety isn't getting the better of him. He uses his skills learnt from being Queen Celestia herself's son to calm any arguing among the group, especially arguments that Captain causes. He became friends with Punchline after being the only pony in the crowd to laugh at one of her jokes in the Gala- he never liked those stuck-up Canterlot ponies anyways.
