{{quote|"''Cartoons for girls don’t have to be [[Tastes Like Diabetes|a puddle of smooshy, cutesy-wootsy, goody-two-shoeness]].

If the [[Western Animation]] business ever had to pick a King Midas figure, Lauren Faust would be that person. This is due to the fact that ([[Quest for Camelot|nearly]]) everything she works on turns to gold and is labeled a masterpiece. How she does it, no one knows.
Lauren Faust is an animator who was born in Annapolis, Maryland. She studied animation at the school Calarts and decided to go into the animation industry. Lauren has been known for the preteen girls' Web site ''[[Milky Way and The Galaxy Girls]]'', as well as being married to animator [[Craig McCracken]]. For a long time now, Lauren has been trying to get [[Girls Need Role Models|strong female leads for animation]]. Previous projects include ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'', ''[[
She has a [[Deviant ART]] account you can find [http://fyre-flye.deviantart.com/ here].

=== Tropes that follow with Lauren Faust: ===
Line 26:
* [[Big Good]]: She's considered as this to the brony community (nicknamed "Queen Faust"). Considering some of her [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|awesome moments]] and the fact that she created the show, it's rather appropriate.
* [[Fan Service]]: She made a series of drawings labeled "Halloween cheesecake", featuring sexy monsters.
** She also did some [http://www.cdd4ever.com/CATCHAT/SidesOfSaw.jpg parody "fan" art] of Sawyer from ''[[
* [[Friend to All Children]]: Makes shows for kids, and has also donated art towards auctions that help out kids.
* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]: A good part of her character designs seems to be influenced by her time in ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]''.
** [[Cute Bruiser]]: And most of ''those'' characters can kick a ''lot'' of butt. Including the aformentioned Powerpuff Girls.
* [[No Hugging, No Kissing]]: She made sure that there was to be ''no'' romance among the main characters in ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
* [[Older Than They Look]]: Is 37, see picture.
