'''Snails''', also known as the "Greatest Artistic Genius of the Generation"<ref name = "ACCOUNT">{{CAR|COYE|Accountibilibuddies}}</ref> is the bumbling, but good-natured punching bag of [[Canterlot High School]]. Although a former lackie of [[Sunset Shimmer]], Snails is not a bad kid, merely weak-willed. He's best friends with {{EQG|Snips}}, sharing a brotherly-bond with him as the two do basically everything with one another, even riding [[Ferris Wheels]]. A musical soul, Snails is an aspiring rapper and proud member of the [[Hip-Hop Club]]. He's also a talented armpit {{W|flatulist}}!
Despite the harm he's done, he's good friends with {{EQG|Pinkie Pie}}, the [[Canterlot Movie Club]] and {{EQG|Big McIntosh}}.
==History==
===Demons of CHS===
[[File:FF_Sunset_in_high_school.png|thumb|
Apparently, for the last three years or so, Snails was considered one of the meanest students of Canterlot High School, alongside Snips and Sunset. During the party planning, Snails burst into the Gym along with Snips and Sunset to attempt to intimidate Twilight and the others. Snips tried to burst a balloon with Twilight's face on it, but failed miserably. In spite of his laughable effort, Snails still tried to act tough in front of the girls, with a stereotypical "bouncer" type pose. Later, Snails, same with Snips, somehow found himself wrapped up in various confetti wrappers as he marched back to Sunset in a hallway, after she threatened Twilight Sparkle. Sunset unwrapped Snails. While in the hallway, Sunset ordered the two to start filming everything Twilight Sparkle does with their [[phone]]s. Now in the library, the puny duo begin to film Twilight failing at basic human tasks, like using the computer or picking up books.

At some point, he and Snips' rode on a Ferris Wheel together.<ref name="CAR|RR|Perfect Day for Fun">{{CAR|RR|Perfect Day for Fun}}</ref> After the incident of becoming demons, Snails seemed to have reverted to his true personality more, becoming much friendlier and kinder. He seemed to hang out frequently with the [[Canterlot Movie Club]] and {{EQG|Big McIntosh}} and took pictures together with them. Around this time, he also seemed to develop a new follower-type relationship with {{EQG|Trixie Lulamoon}}, who was ready to take advantage of Snails' loyal but weak-willed personality.
Line 202 ⟶ 64:
After Snips' lost his earbuds, he believed Snails abandoned him. When {{FIM|Applejack}} found the poor boy by himself, she offered to become his friend, until Snails finally returned, who had apparently been looking all over for his best friend. Along the way, Snips befriended [[Dirk Thissleweed]], a musician performing at Starswirl and together, the three went to the concert with Snips and Snails hugging it out.<ref name = "ACCOUNT"/>

A few years ago, Snails was [[Sunset Shimmer]]'s lackie as she was voted the meanest person in school in her freshman year.<ref>''[[Equestria Girls: Forgotten Friendship]]''</ref> At some point, Snails joined the [[Hip-Hop Club]] alongside Snips and {{EQG|Pinkie Pie}}.<ref name = "QUEEN">{{CAR|DS|Queen of Clubs}}</ref> Although not "good", he is very passionate about his music and entered the [[Battle of the Bands]] with Snips as a rap duet.<ref name="RR"/> He's also a fan of role-playing and portrays a [[Snails' dwarf|dwarf]] alongside [[Snips' elf|an elf]], {{EQG|Sir McBiggun}} and [[Trixie's wizard|a wizard]].<ref name = "QUEEN"/> Snails is apart of Pinkie Pie's chemistry class, and surprisingly, often has much more sense and scientific know-how than her, apparently urging her not to perform seemingly dangerous experiments. Although she doesn't listen, she still cherishes their influences, proclaiming that she couldn't do it without their help. In spite of her nature, Snails values Pinkie Pie as a good friend and merely weakly smiled at her after an explosion she caused.<ref name = "TEXT">{{CAR|COYE|Text Support}} (base story)</ref>
Snails often follows the latest trends, adopting the "glasses" and "[[Rainbow wig|rainbow]]" looks as soon as {{EQG|Rarity}} said they were "in".<ref>{{CAR|COYE|Best Trends Forever}} (Twilight's ending)</ref><ref>{{CAR|COYE|Best Trends Forever}} (Rainbow Dash's ending)</ref> Although dim-witted, Snails at least tries to employ critical thinking in his day-to-day life, such as when he questioned [[Gloria Daisy]]'s transformation,<ref name = "EVERFREE">''[[Equestria Girls: Legend of Everfree]]''</ref> and Pinkie Pie's chemistry mishaps.<ref name = "TEXT"/> He's an overall good-natured kid, if ab impish and mischievous one who loves to pray pranks on others, such as when he used a bag to make a loud noise to wake up {{EQG|Lyra Heartstrings}} and {{EQG|Bon Bon}},<ref name = "RR">''[[Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks]]''</ref> but sometimes his pranks tend to go to far. Despite being cowardly himself, he is sometimes seen as the "leader" of his circle of friends and often has to protect his friends, such as when Snips and {{EQG|Bulk Biceps}} hid behind him for cover after they heard the legend of [[Gaea Everfree]].<ref name = "EVERFREE"/>
Snails does pretty much everything with Snips, such as riding [[Ferris Wheels]],<ref name="CAR|RR|Perfect Day for Fun"/> going to camp,<ref name = "EVERFREE"/> playing pranks,<ref name = "RR"/> playing video games<ref name = "FINE">{{CAR|DS|A Fine Line}}</ref> and performing acts of vandalism.<ref>''[[My Little Pony: Equestria Girls]]''</ref> Despite this, there have been several times where Snips has been seen alone, implying that they aren't as inseparable as they may seem. Snails is a fan of [[video games]], he owns a [[handheld gaming device]] and waited in line for the release of ''[[Tirek's Revenge]]'', implying he may also be a fan of role-playing video games as well as table-top ones.<ref name = "FINE"/>

===Characterization===
[[File:EQG Snips and Snails kidnapping Spike.png|thumb|300px|Snails kidnapping Spike. Something Snails (probably) wouldn't due in his current characterization]]
Like pretty much every character who debuted in the original ''Equestria Girls'' film, Snails' personality has made a noticeable evolution throughout the series. In his
Likewise, Snails' personality has departed from his original counterpart and became more-or-less its own thing. While the original Snails was interested with fame and being "cool", this Snails has embraced his nerdier side and enjoys role-playing and playing video games. In some ways, his personality has filled the void that Spike filled in ''Friendship is Magic'', such as being the RPG-buddy of Big McIntosh and the resident geek-boy character, since the other major male characters did not quite fit that niche. Still, he's a hopeless admirer of Trixie Lulamoon though the reasoning for his admiration of her has yet to been revealed.
He seems to be more intelligent than his pony counterpart as well, applying more critical thought to his day-to-day life, but at the same time doesn't appear to be as self-aware either and doesn't seem to ever truly question his place in the world as his original did.
===Etymology===
Snails' name is derived from the nursery rhyme, ''[[wikipedia:What Are Little Boys Made Of?|What Are Little Boys Made Of?]]'' In particular, his name is derived from the lyric, ''Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails, that's what little boys are made of!''. Furthermore, his name may be further a reference to ''The Powerpuff Girls'', a show [[Lauren Faust]] worked on before ''Friendship is Magic'', as the opening of that show opened with a slightly modified version of the rhymes second, and more iconic, verse, ''Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice, That's What Little Girls are Made Of''.
