Pinkie Pie is an Earth Pony from Ponyville and one of the main characters of the series. She is often seen working at the Sugar Cube Corner snac shop. She holds the Element of Laughter.
Personality
Pinkie is an outgoing, energetic pony. She has a fondness for parties, and has a tendency to throw them on a whim. Being one with a highly creative mind, Pinkie is also an avid song writer and at one point has been shown riding a flying machine (presumably invented by Pinkie herself). Because of her randomness, however, some of the other ponies, even her friends, don't always take her seriously. Pinkie also has a comedic streak, shown in part two of the pilot where she laughs in the face of danger and in the episode "Griffon the Brush-off" where she is revealed to be the town's resident prankster. She represents the Element of Laughter.
Relationships
Twilight Sparkle - Pinkie and Twilight have a mutual friendship. Pinkie was the first pony Twilight met in Ponyville, and was thus the first to show interest in becoming her friend.
Rainbow Dash - Rainbow Dash is another friend of Pinkie's. Both are very lively and energetic ponies. However, Rainbow Dash sometimes gets annoyed with Pinkie's hyperactivity.
Fluttershy - Pinkie understands just how sensitive Fluttershy is, which is why she is the only one (as far as we know) who is off-limits to her pranks.
Rarity - Pinkie Pie and Rarity appear to grow closer in the episode, Dragonshy. They play 35 consecutive games of tic-tac-toe, all of which Pinkie wins, and trade various quips and compliments throughout the episode.
Reflexivity
There are several instances when Pinkie Pie shows awareness to the cinematic elements and cartoon elements of the show. She reacts to fade-outs and iris-wipes, and often looks directly "at the audience".
She is highly "cartoony", frequently performing cartoon-staple feats such as eye-bulging, wild takes, and unusually angled cuts into the frame. Her merry skips are a lot like Pepé Le Pew's, particularly in Griffon the Brush-off where she pursues Rainbow Dash and comically appears right next to her wherever she goes. Her costume and waddle in Dragonshy are reminiscent of Daffy Duck's four-legged body in Duck Amuck, and the many contraptions she uses to reach Rainbow Dash and Gilda in Griffon The Brush-off are similar to Wile E Coyote's ACME devices that he employs in order to catch the Road Runner.
