Depiction In Friendship Is Magic[]
Personality[]
Scootaloo is energetic and tomboyish, much like her idol Rainbow Dash. She complains about having to listen to "sappy" and "namby-pamby" stories in The Cutie Mark Chronicles. However, like the other Crusaders, she finds Big McIntosh and Cheerilee's romance charming in Hearts and Hooves Day. Although brash and spunky, she is skittish and self-conscious in Sleepless In Ponyville.
Admiration of Rainbow Dash[]
Despite not related to one another, Scootaloo views Rainbow Dash as an older sister throughout the series, much in the same way that Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle look up to their sisters Applejack and Rarity respectively.
In The Cutie Mark Chronicles, Scootaloo calls Rainbow Dash THE COOLEST PONY IN PONYVILLE and voices her enthusiasm to hear about how she got her cutie mark. In Owl's Well That Ends Well, Scootaloo volunteers to be Rainbow Dash's assistant after hearing her praise Spike for his hard work as Twilight Sparkle's own assistant. Scootaloo tries to get Rainbow Dash's favor by throwing away an apple core for her. Scootaloo chairs the Official Rainbow Dash Fan Club in The Mysterious Mare Do Well. She wears a rainbow-colored wig and attempts, along with Snips, to find a word to sum up Rainbow Dash's virtues.
In Sleepless In Ponyville, Scootaloo reveals her desire for Rainbow Dash to take her under her wing as a little sister, to which Rainbow Dash agrees. They form a strong, sister-like bond that allows the two to enter the Sisterhooves Social together in Brotherhooves Social. In Crusaders of the Lost Mark, Rainbow Dash tells Scootaloo how proud she is of her receiving her cutie mark.
In Parental Glideance, Scootaloo writes a report for her school on Rainbow Dash and meets Dash's parents, Bow Hothoof and Windy Whistles, who idolize Rainbow Dash just as much as she does.
In The Washouts, Scootaloo briefly idolizes Lightning Dust and her titular stunt team and she resents Rainbow Dash for trying to make her not like them. But after Lightning Dust turns out to care more about putting on a good show than the safety of others, Scootaloo comes to her senses and makes amends with Rainbow Dash.
Role as a Cutie Mark Crusader[]
Scootaloo, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle form a club called the Cutie Mark Crusaders to discover their talents and earn their cutie marks.
Scootaloo can be argumentative with Apple Bloom on a few occasions. In Stare Master, they argue over how to call a chicken, even arguing over whether their special talent is arguing. In The Return of Harmony - Part 1, they get into a fight over the meaning of the word "discord" during a school field trip.
In Surf and/or Turf, Scootaloo gets into a heated argument with Sweetie Belle over where Terramar should live, leading them to temporarily stop being friends.
When her parents announce that they're planning on having them all move far away from Ponyville in The Last Crusade, Scootaloo is distraught over the idea of leaving Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle behind.
