My Little Pony (Generation 5)

This is how I see Generation 5 of My Little Pony.

Synopsis
Set in a land inhabited by ponies, a small group of ponies heads to find out any possible threat that haunts Equestria and learn more about the secrets of the region and the reason of the mysterious disappearance of Lady Comet.

Main

 * Lady Celestia - a rather naïve unicorn and the leader of the Core Five who wants to find out the secrets of Equestria and is out for aventure while she seeking the truth behind her mother's disappearance.
 * Lady Luna - Celestia's brainiac sister who is obsessed with knowledge and follows her in their quest to find out why their mother left them, hoping that they can be reunited with her.
 * Eclipse - a paranoid Earth pony who reluctantly joins the Core Five as she believes that the world they live in is conspiring against her and often comes with theories about secret societies.
 * Waterfall - a friendly pegasus who loves to make new friends and collecting bugs, having a crush on Spike as well, nicknaming him "Spikey".
 * Isabelle - a lazy Earth pony who prefers to play video games rather than being out for adventure, often being dragged by Celestia to join the team.
 * Spike - an extremely wise dragon who is the royals' loyal advisor and joins the Core Five in their adventures, being Waterfall's crush as well.

Supporting

 * Lord Emperus - Celestia and Luna's caring father who is the ruler of Equestria and looks for them while dealing with several royal problems.
 * Touchdown - a competitive male pegasus who befriends the Core Five and who Celestia has a crush on, despite being unaware of her affections.
 * Mystica - a self-absorbed unicorn who is often bragging about her wealth and whom Celestia has a strong dislike of, since she is more successful than her in relation to cash and fame.
 * Sir Hooves - an adventurous male unicorn who is out for peril and often comes to advice the Core Five about several perils across Equestria for their safety, being Celestia's idol.

Antagonists

 * Lady Comet/Empress Hollow - a diabolical alicorn who believes that ponies should join forces to obey her orders and make Equestria her own empire, being later revealed as Celestia and Luna's mother.
 * Soulmaster - a comedic chimera who rules the Underdown and is rather angry in relation to the Core Five's attempts to free the region from his influence.
 * Lord Sombra - a tyrannical unicorn who once ruled the Crystal Lands until he was overthrown, being now out for revenge on the ones who made him what he is today.
 * The Dragoness - a vile female dragon who is out to destroy and ransack several lands, wanting to take down the world for her own purposes.

A tie-in animated television series was eventually produced by Hasbro Studios, airing on Cartoon Network since TBD 2020.

Trivia

 * Despite reusing concepts from previous generations, Generation 5's developers want to make it more attractive to both classic and newer fans by including newer concepts for characters and make it somehow darker by developing new myths and legends and an ongoing mystery.
 * While compared to their G4 ancestors, fans usually see it like this:
 * Celestia = Fluttershy and Applejack
 * Luna = Twilight
 * Eclipse = Pinkie
 * Waterfall = Rarity
 * Isabelle = Rainbow
 * Spike = same as G4
 * Mystica = Trixie and Sunset
 * Empress Hollow = Queen Chrysalis
 * Unlike their G4 counterparts, Celestia and Luna are aged down to the same age as the remaining Core Five members, being now unicorns as well.
 * The franchise fans' often nickname this generation as "The Teen Age" due to featuring younger versions of Celestia and Luna.
