Pinkie Pie- My suspicions were correct. Pinkie pie is the most unstable of the group. A harsh Amish upbringing with little socializing. This leads her to be needy and emotional and wanting to be the center of attention. Hence her parties. If they had continued to ignore her for another day, Pinkie would have started kidnapping people and saying "Love me or I'll CUT YOU".
I agree with your point about her upbringing and her need for attention, but I disagree profoundly with the idea that Pinkie would ever harm anyone or anything. To say this is to read a fan fic character into the show.
BTW--how many contemporary cartoons have had portrayals of Amish?
You are Correct, I must admit my Girls found the Show because of my Niece, I asked my Sister about the show and she said it was good, but she told me about this thing called "Cupcakes" that had been written about it. I checked it out (almost made me sick to my stomach, which few Writings can do) so I guess my perception of Pinkie has been colored from the very beginning by the FanFic.
