So what exactly did Scootaloo do before the crusaders were formed? We have already seen glimpses of what Apple Bloom did before the crusaders, and we can infer from the show that Sweetie Belle would run a muck in Rarity's Beautique. But for Scootaloo, not much is known about her past, all we do know is that somewhere, somehow, she got a scooter and became proficient at riding it and became attached to Rainbow Dash. However we do not know the how or why or even the when and where for these events. So fellow nor/mlp/eople, how do you think Scootaloo got to where she is now?

She just showed up one day and Ponyville ponies being what they are they gave her a place to stay and play. She's been up and at it ever after. The past is the past mon. Let it lie. Let it die.

>She will never ask to borrow your scooter every day until you tell her she can keep it >She will never keep coming to your house to borrow your tools >You'll never trade her letting you touch her for a few hours with your stuff >She won't sigh as you touch her hindlegs and bite at her neck while she slowly counts to fifty >She looks so cute when she scampers away >She will never come home all greasy and nasty from fucking around trying to build something >She will never take a super quick scrubby bath at your house so her dad doesn't know she was doing tomboy stuff all day >She'll never go through your bedroom and put on your ex girlfriend's perfume to cover the stink of grease and oil >She'll never say 'see you in the morning' as she runs off, thinking she'll finally get her cutie mark every single day >You will never watch her be ignored and teased by her mother and all her sisters for being such a little tomboy >You will never see her ignored by her father and his sons as they keep Scoot out from their 'guy stuff' >You'll never watch her grow up alone despite having one of the largest families in Ponyville >You will never be there for her when she needs someone besides the CMC to talk to >When she needs an adult who will actually listen to her >You will never get her to talk about her feelings with you >You will never get to trade buying her ice cream for rubbing her butt on your pillow for a minute >You will never pretend that your toilet is broken so that she has to pee in the sink, all over your dishes >You will never make her wash her hooves or comb her hair or anything else girly like that >You will never have your little orange angel

>>9020397 2 days before scootaloo showed up in the show, she just got thrown out of cloudsdale. She can't fly so she can't go back. Nobody gives a shit about her either since she doesn't have parents. She just moped around and went to the party for the free food.

She is a pegasus who lives on / is frequently at the ground. If she were a filly living in Cloudsdale or something similar, she'd probably be watched constantly / kept indoors due to the need for safety. Setting her in Ponyville allows the show to have a filly pegasus without addressing "but how does she get down to Ponyville all the time". She attends Cheerilee's classes and is always around Ponyville, so it is certain that she lives there. Ponyville doesn't lack for Pegasi so it's probably safe to say that many of them own ground-based housing. She hasn't quite figured out flying / staying aloft - this isn't as simple as just beating your wings as fast as they can go - but knowing that much lets her power her wheeled transport. Her name and this transport are really a chicken & egg question. Her parents and any other potential relatives have never been mentioned or shown, so not much to conclude there. People like to headcanon that she is an orphan, but it's likely just that she has unexciting parents who haven't been slotted any screentime. Rarity/Belle's parents haven't been shown much and AJ/AB's are perished. As she is close friends who two fillies who both have prominent older sister figures, it is not surprising that she would develop the desire for something similar. Rainbow Dash is a famous and talented Pegasus who is also continually around Ponyville and more importantly, appears to lack a younger sister, making her a prime idol.

>>9024694 I forgot to mention - there's brief indication that Scoots and Belle might have been friends for a while before getting together with Applebloom - since they both approached to defend her at the cuteceanara
