Character
#14
This card shows a picture of Maud having finished peeling an apple using "a very interesting method" from the episode "Maud Pie", and asking if she should peel another. Text on the back of the card says, "Maud may not express herself the same way as her sister Pinkie Pie, but her friends still thinks she totally rocks! Maud is an expert in geology and is studying to earn her Rocktorate in Rock Science. She still finds time to pursue her passion for poetry--she's written THOUSANDS of poems about rocks! Even so, family is still the most important thing in Equestria to Maud. She would move mountains for Pinkie Pie if she had to, and she's practically strong enough to do it!" I like how this description covers so much about Maud even with its limited space. I'm not sure if their choice of the word "strong" is quite correct (I assume this comment arose from both her destroying that big rock on the rock slide and her throwing another rock in the competition with Rainbow Dash), as I think of it more as something like "intense rock-handling abilities", but that's just my interpretation -- maybe it really is just strength.
Also on the back, it lists under her "Aspiration": "Secretly dreams of someday attending the Grand Galloping Gala." That's interesting since there really wasn't any hint of it in the "Maud Pie" episode, though in the episode "The Ticket Master", it's shown how most ponies do seem to have this desire. Another thing that's intriguing about it is how it says "Secretly" -- Why does she keep it a secret? Does she see the desire as something negative? Does she want to avoid burdening her family with her unrequited desire? Who knows -- maybe this is actually a hint towards a future episode as the fact seems like it must have a source from somewhere.
