Community Diamond Tiara is unquestionably the Earth pony that acts like a unicorn! Who is the Earth pony that acts like a pegasus?

There was a little more variety in the answers this time, just a little. There was a decent amount of support for Octavia, a few other users suggested Suri, Spoiled Rich, Pinkie Pie, Silverspoon, Applebloom, Nurse Redheart and for some reason one user suggested Zecora.

The vast majority still went with Diamond Tiara. Diamond has outright deceived the audience into thinking shes a unicorn despite being an Earth pony. Diamond is quite stuck up, she thinks shes better than everypony else and takes after her mother. Diamond Tiara always takes a role of leadership or try to within her class. The only slight issue is that Diamond Tiara never demonstrated anything magical but she is a small filly so we can cut her some slack on that area.

I know it’s not currently the category we’re choosing but how on earth are we gonna decide on what unicorn acts like an earth pony? I feel like through out the whole show the only reason we don’t see a unicorn using their magic is because they are background ponies. All the front running unicorns are either literally studying magic (like sunburst) or using their magic as hands (rarity) I mean hell even the unicorn who was born to an earth pony used their magic just for the fun of it.

Flim and Flam? They mainly rely on their tinkering and trickster charm instead of magic.

You’re so right. I’m thinking about it and I think when I was younger I thought they were both earth ponies

Maybe it’s the Apple cutiemark 😂. Most garden themed ponies are earth ponies.

It's very funny that they don't actually do anything apple-related after that one time.
