If a character is important enough both in pony and EQG, people will still make specific tags for them whether or not it’s a normal tag or a character tag, it’ll just be more noticeable if it’s an actual character tag.
principal celestia
in the first place, I assume they mean “EQG Celestia in general.” Whether she’s principal or not. Maybe some AU. Just like sci-twi
refers to EQG Twilight in general whether she’s doing science or not. Figure people use them as twilight sparkle (eqg)
& co despite the actual tag name.vice-principal luna
and no princess luna
(except for the automatic implication). Even if she was in the world of Elder Scrolls Online with CHS nowhere to be seen instead. Speaking only for myself though.For other characters, the distinction between human and pony world versions of characters is more obvious and doesn’t need to be indicated in the tags.
Someone requested a change to Equestria Girls tags, and I’m looking for more opinions on whether the change should be made since I’m not too knowledgeable on EQG.The request is to mark Principal Celestia, Vice Principal Luna, Dean Cadance, and Alumnus Shining Armor as character (blue) tags in the same way that Sci-Twi is.
I’m conflicted here. On one hand, the relationship between Sci-Twi and pony Twilight in EQG means that they need their own character tags to distinguish them. For other characters, the distinction between human and pony world versions of characters is more obvious and doesn’t need to be indicated in the tags.
Making this change may also set a precedent of giving all of the EQG versions of characters separate tags, which would be excessive.

would all be found by a search for wing
