In 4th Edition, you could play as a Revenant, and one of their features was the "Past Life," where you selected the race you inhabited among the living and thus qualified for any feats, paths, or destinies requiring it. If one were to expand the seapony lore and say all kinds of races fled underwater and assimilated into the welcoming fins of Queen Novo, then I imagine you could turn the seapony's former heritage into a similar kind of crunch.
So Fluttershy is playing a character that's personality is completely different from hers, but pinkie is basically herself but she can fly and doesn't have fourth-wall-breaking powers. Ok. Although the idea of a flying pinkie scares me.
She is a sweetheart, though her shyness is the only thing hiding the fact that she is ridiculously OP. Then again, considering she has several close friends that she spends all her time with, she's probably in a continual amped-up state from all that friendship. Probably gets the shakes if she ever has to be alone for more than a few minutes. :p
Well. One only ever arrives at the predicament of needing to address limitations if one continually chooses to push said abilities to the limit, say, in multiple epic fights or whatnot.
Kinda pointless to need to address limitations of magic or shapeshifting if its ever only used for shenangians or nonconsequential actions.
Don't mind me. Polymorph effects have always been one of my favorite parts of D&D.

I always like changelings.
Smart yet shy. That was young me in a nutshell.
