Snails (Equestria Girls): Difference between revisions

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 michviousmischievous 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"/>

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 debutinitial appearance, Snails was shown to be a surprisingly violent, mean young man, willing to abuse animals and commit acts of severe vandalism just because he's told to, while his later appearances tend to play up his more comedic, friendly and kind side. This may be because Snails' character was not very fleshed out by the time the original film came out, while later ''Friendship is Magic'' media developed Snails into a genuinely kind-hearted pony.

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.
