* When Betty Boop first appeared in the early 30's, she was portrayed as a teenage (sometimes young-adult) flapper-girl with an outgoing personality and loads of [[Fetish Fuel|sexuality]].

Most of the characters in the current series ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]'', that were carried over from the earlier G3-series have personalities that are completely different from the ones they had in G3. This is because, while those ''Friendship is Magic''-characters do have the names and color-schemes of characters from G3, their personalities are actually based on characters from G1, the original ''My Little Pony'' version from the 1980's. A curious special case is the character of Applejack, a ''Friendship is Magic'' |
