Now I might be misreading this, but I think Rainbow has played a lot of Dragonborn characters 🤣
Off-topic, but for some reason, the character names reminded me of a question I asked in the comments for a Star Trek review:
"Why don't we ever see any Klingon PLUMBERS or FARMERS? Don't they exist?"

They leave that to the races they've conquered. Though we do see a Klingon Chef on DS9. He gets a big ol' grin when Dax chews him out for giving her poor quality gagh.
Why would a klingon plumber end up confronting the away teams on star treck, this isn't mario, if their are Klingons in such jobs, then they are elsewhere doing them, we don't get a lot of focus on HUMAN plumbers in star treck do we?
Much like mushroom farming dwarves in Dragon Age: They'd never let those sorts leave home. Too valuable.
I wasn't expecting that much violence, but if that's what you're asking...
I'm off to pummel a monk, stab an assassin,

While we're at it, I'm going to go claw a barbarian, gnash a ranger, and if I get the opportunity, rip an avenger.

I still miss my characters a bit.

The Mane Six to Student Six matching goes:
Twilight Sparkle: Sandbar
Applejack: Yona
Fluttershy: Ocellus
Pinkie Pie: Silverstream
Rainbow Dash: Gallus
Rarity: Smolder
As for classes, I play Pathfinder and don't know 5e, so I would actually use NPC classes for these characters, transitioning into PC classes as follows:
Sandbar: warrior => paladin
Yona: adept => shaman
Ocellus: commoner => shifter
Silverstream: aristocrat => bard
Gallus: expert => rogue
Smolder: young brass dragon
Twilight Sparkle: Sandbar
Applejack: Yona
Fluttershy: Ocellus
Pinkie Pie: Silverstream
Rainbow Dash: Gallus
Rarity: Smolder

If we go by the picks the Tree of Harmony made, it's:
Twilight Sparkle: Gallus
Applejack: Yona
Fluttershy: Sandbar
Pinkie Pie: Silverstream
Rainbow Dash: Smolder
Rarity: Ocellus
Really, any way you slice it, it's not a clean mapping.

You mean in School Raze?
The mapping in the Season 9 trailer (given above) is both more recent and makes slightly more sense.

I never actually bothered to pause the trailer there and check if Twilight made the same picks as the Tree.
Really, it seems like the best mapping is:
Twilight -> Ocellus (or maybe Gallus)
AJ -> Yona
Fluttershy -> Ocellus
Pinkie -> Silverstream
Dash -> Gallus
Rarity -> Smolder and Sandbar just because they're left over
Or, going the other way:
Yona -> AJ
Silverstream -> Pinkie
Gallus -> Dash
Smolder -> Dash
Ocellus -> Fluttershy
Sandbar -> Twilight and Rarity, as the leftovers

We have one player who, over the course of many, many years, we finally trained to make character names with two syllables.
Old English comes in nicely for names... Back in the day, I had character sheets for:
Wulfraed (wolf counsel)
Aethelwulf (noble wolf)
Wulfweard (wolf guard)
Cwiculf (quick [as in Alive] wolf)
Yes -- a bit of a wolf theme. Wulfraed went on from an AD&D Ranger to becoming my online persona as an Imperial Vargr (Baron Wulfraed, commanding IISS Elusive Unicorn, detached)

Yes -- a bit of a wolf theme. Wulfraed went on from an AD&D Ranger to becoming my online persona as an Imperial Vargr (Baron Wulfraed, commanding IISS Elusive Unicorn, detached)
Traveller, yes... Though Wulfraed's background has been Imperial so long the barony is inherited -- not something granted during an adventure. Barony of some small rock -- he's been roaming the galaxy so long they wouldn't recognize him. (20 years field scout, and then detached with a non-standard scout ship: TL15 with a mixed turret and near stealth capability, with an EM listening suite to die for).
When they died, did you say "oh my god, they killed Kenning"?
Pre-dates that show. However, Cwiculf used to be named Rathulf until his 2nd or 3rd resurrection.
So is it just me, or does that litany of character names sound like "Rainbow brought in a new character, died, then started rolling up a new character for next week"?
Because there are players like that (and GMs, and pure bad luck). Dorkness Rising's Pile Of Dead Bards comes to mind.

Would have to have been pretty spectacular deaths, given that the GM can remember them all...
I've only ever made one wizard but she doesn't count as she's based on an anime character.
I played lots of Dragon Magazine Gnolls in 4e. I had at least a dozen, all based on different anthro hyena, Sergal, or other art.
I did have a soft spot for my gnoll staffwizard "ritualist" named Draj and my gnoll cha-assasin "Ambassador" named Vaemar Rrit. But the Vigilante Justice spike chain rogue, the "use a simple flow chart to select your maneuver in combat" battlerager fighter (if no temp HP, crushing surge, if temp HP, the combat advantage granting power strike, with conditionals for situational encounters and dailies.), a few Archer and beastmaster rangers, and at least 1 ardent.

Any good story of how a player that usually choose a race almost everytime decides to choose a race to 'expand his horizons' or another reason?
So, if I stopped watching around season 6, how much of this arc am I likely to miss out on?
Dangit. It feels like every arc these days I'm submitting a challenge to myself in some way, but I don't realize it until I'm already almost ten pages in.
