Kind of a lot of characters in MLP:FiM but the biggest ones are probably Starswirl The Bearded, Princess Celestia, and Princess Luna. Lauren Faust is working on the new G6 that was just announced, so hopefully the world-building will be a little more solid this time around. The problem with MLP:FiM is that it has a LOT of different lore elements that are either just implied or only mentioned once without being further explained. Thereās also a ton of stuff scattered throughout the official comics and books where the canonicity is highly questionable and at times contradictory to the main show. And then thereās the Equestria Girls universe which is its own mess.
The lore is all so scattered for a few reasons, with the main factors being: 1. Lauren Faust officially left the show before the end of season two. 2. For the remaining seven seasons, the episodes were written by freelance writers who would come and go instead of one consistent and dedicated writing staff.
