Character development actually also includes learning about a character’s past.
So take something like The Cutie Mark Cronicles… That was pretty much pure character development.
^ Fluttershy’s development is less noticeable but still there. In the first season she could only stand up for herself and ignore her fears if her friends were in imminent peril. Season two she started to face her fears for her own sake and stand up for herself more.
I think only AJ and Rarity have character development.
Twi still to overly-obssesed with order
RD still too narcissist in a bad way
Fluttershy still a doormat (with alot of internal issues)
and Pinkie still Pinkie
not that I dislike that, but make me love even more AJ and Rarity
