OK, I don’t really have much of a strong preference between them… so what’s with all the dragon love?

She was really the only one that got any real expansion, mainly thanks to both dragon lore and Spike

I like Gallus best. And I still wish Smolder was a boy to add more gender equality.
I also don’t think it’s fair to act like only Smolder had depth when Gallus had a decent bit of it too.

I think he’s decent though not my favorite, but I do feel bad that his guardian pretty much doesn’t give a shit about him.

Honestly, I can’t rank any of the Student Six over each other, since each of them are great characters.

Silverstream > Gallus > Yona > Smolder > Sandbar > Ocellus
(Not really well-decided on that one, don’t really dislike anyone)
Sandbar being as mundane as he is must be intentional. It’s his schtick.
(Ocellus suffered from the lack of focus episodes with her, but not fatally so)

We already had a male dragon lead. If you’re going to flip someone, how about Silverstream? Or did she have toys?

Male Silverstream is something I can get behind. I’ve said before, in a similar vein, that if any of the Mane 6 were to be made male it should be Rarity, cuz fashionable guys is a rare trope that I like, tbh.

There is a lot of evidence that Sandbar was deliberately created to be bland and milquetoast as possible, and they succeeded and made him charming to boot.

Honestly any would be fine. I just don’t care for Ocellus

I do really like all of them honestly. I really wish they had all gotten a lot more fleshed out. I hope the season 10 comics can do that.

I feel kind of bad for Sandbar. He never seems to be anyone’s favorite.
Also, I don’t really think I have a favorite of the six students. I just kind of like them all.

He’s mine…
And yeah, nothing interesting about him other than the fact his best friends are other species. And his blandness really seems to be intentional. (Also, in my headcanon his family is unusual for wearing swimsuits casually. Not like that, I mean a rashvest & boardshorts combo.)

(Yeah, it couldn’t be unintentional. His mundane nature is his charm)
Sandbar: [voiceover] “The Day My Hearth’s Warming Doll Almost Fell into the Fire!”
All but Sandbar: [sounds of awe]
Sandbar: [voiceover] Just before we went to bed, my mom, my dad, and my sister all put our Hearth’s Warming Dolls up on the mantel, just like we do every year. But this year, I put my doll too close to the edge, and it fell!
Sandbar: [in slow motion] Nooooooo!
Ocellus: [gasps] And?!
Sandbar: My doll hit the floor. But it could have gone in the fire!
Smolder: [sarcastic] That’s a great story. And you told it really well.
Sandbar: Yeah. It was a Hearth’s Warming miracle.
Sandbar: I know, right? How do I pick just one? They all look so good!
Smolder: That’s your version of a bad dream?
