Well, you see, before joining IaLR, I was writing a fanfiction series with Red Fork as the protagonist. The series was called Red Fork X, and it included a huge cast of characters, more than 100. I had been creating pony OCs since 2011, and by the time I was writing the series, I already had tons of characters to use. Granted, I wrote six seasons of that fanfiction series, but I got experience in handling large casts. I'd say that in an ongoing series like IaLR, the best number of characters is as many we can handle without reducing the quality of the character development. Numbers should never be more important than quality when it comes to characters, but if you can handle more characters and still keep the character quality high, then it's a great idea to add in a few more characters. I know I'm always adding in new characters to my cast, specially after Pea and I began IaLR: Heroes of Echo Creek.

Got it.

Say, are there any other characters in your cast that could potentially be shipped in the future?
