[[folder:General Morning Glory]]
First introduced in a [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/889105057/4988173534 Drabble]], General Morning Glory of the Zephyr Heights Royal Army (Legion Group North) is a notable military figure of the Pegasi kingdom, and despite her seeming outward arrogance and vanity is genuinely competent, surprisingly insightful and very honourable.

* TheMagnificent: Among her epithets and titles include 'Guardian of the Northern Reaches', 'Slayer of the Valley Hydras', and 'Hammer of the Mountain Warlords'.

* TheReliableOne: Easily one of the most competent of the guards in the Pegasi army.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: By her own words, she was the Pegasi general who ordered the Zephyr Height Royal Family's arrest after they were exposed.

* YouShallNotPass: Attempted to stop the Unifying Five from escaping Zephyr Heights, intercepting them at the maintenance atrium just as they could reach the maintenance elevator that could take them out of the capital city.

* TheDeterminator: Absolutely refused to stay down no matter how much of a pounding she took and never stopped until the job was done.

* DavidVersusGoliath: When [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/889105057/4988195778 visiting]] Maretime Bay to do a security evaluation on behalf of Queen Haven for her two daughters moving in there, she decided to pick a fight against [=CanterLogic=]'s rebuilt and repurposed 'Sprouticus Maximus' robot, proclaiming that she can 'hoof it its shiny metal flank before breakfast' in a mare against machine fight, without an army, her Pegasi magic or even using her wings. Amazingly, she manages to actually live up to her boast not once but ''twice'', even though the machine itself had TakenALevelInBadass with various improvements.

* MuggingTheMonster: A variant, but given that Zipp is royalty (even if she didn't point it out herself to Ironhoof or his deputies), making threats to her and Izzy still qualifies,
* ShoutOut: February C. Ironhoof's name is one to the main villain of "Here Comes Peter Cottontail" - January Q. Irontail

* {{Hammerspace}}: It turns out that, to Diamond Mantle's surprise, her canon ability to store her Screenphone within her wings is of this effect. Golden Scepter notes the similarities between her mutation and Pinkie/Thalia's ability to store things in her hair, and expresses interest in spreading it to the rest of Pegasus kind. Sunny [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/889105057/4946513620 cited]] this as one example of how the Three Tribes' magic on New Equus isn't entirely gone, merely diminished to negligible levels.
* {{Mutants}}: Diamond Mantle, Platinum Crown, and Golden Scepter observed via reports that [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/889105057/4946160302 she has developed a mutation where she could store things in her wings and still fly]], akin to a BagOfHolding spell. Notably, no one except her has the mutation, meaning it's unique to her or at least incredibly rare, and even Diamond Mantle (the parental deity of Pegasuskind) expresses surprise that she, a Pegasus, even has it at all, since he do not recall giving them that ability during the uplift process ages ago. Golden Scepter notes her mutation is similar to Pinkie Pie/Princess Thalia's abilities and expresses interest in helping spread it to the rest of Pegasuskind.

'''IFS Captain:''' Quite so, but as you said before, some trends are inevitable, and the fact Ms Starscout and her friends were able to bring back magic and friendship to their part of the world despite these changes suggests perhaps sooner or later some things are bound to happen, due to factors set in motion long before they are born. All that has changed is when they occur, under what circumstances, and the specific details involved.

* ColossusClimb: How General Morning Glory [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/889105057/4988195778 defeated]] the rebuilt and repurposed 'Sprouticus Maximus' in a field-testing/sparring session against it, evading its attacks and climbing it while the pilot was distracted by smoke and debris from its own weapons landing too close - even avoiding electricution from its anti-boarding measures - and forced her way into the cockpit to force the pilot and the robot into submission.

* YouShallNotPass: Attempted to stop the Unifying Five from escaping Zephyr Heights, intercepting them at the maintainence atrium just as they could reach the maintenance elevator that could take them out of the capital city.

%%* {{Expy}}: Of the ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'' version of Darkwing Duck.

* {{Expy}}: Of the WesternAnimation/DuckTales reboot version of Darkwing Duck.

* MamaBear: EXTREMELY protective of children.

* {{Expy}}: Of Launchpad [=McQuack=] (mostly the WesternAnimation/DuckTales reboot version)

* {{Expy}}: Of Jim Starling/the [[WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017 [=DuckTales=]]] reboot version of Negaduck

* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: She played one on TV (due to most of the Earth ponies' attitudes against Unicorns and Pegasi at the time the show was running). In real life, only the "politically incorrect" part applied

* WeHaveBecomeComplacent: Because the monarchy had ruled for generations with such stability and prosperity, even the Pegasi of Zephyr Heights who disagreed with it didn't think it would ever change and never properly thought about alternatives to replace it. This bit everypony in the flank when Queen Haven WAS overthrown for deceiving her subjects as literally everybody, irregardless of their disagreements and ideals, have no clear idea as to what or how to replace it, ultimately leading to Queen Haven's restoration to the throne.

** She manages to neutralise the rebuilt and repurposed (and even improved) Sprouticus Maximus twice without resorting to her army, her magic or even her wings. In the first field-test/spar, she took advantage of its weaknesses in mobility and accuracy to outmaneuver its slow turning speed on treads and avoid its splatterpult and rocket volleys simply by taking cover behind rocks, trees and hills, turned its weapons against it by getting the pilot to fire too close to itself and kick up smoke and debris, which she used as a distraction to climb aboard (avoiding electricution from its anti-climber defence system [[MundaneSolution simply by standing on non-metal parts]]), before reaching the robot's cockpit, open the door by smashing through the door's porthole window to reach the handle with her own hooves and getting the pilot to submit in a chokehold. In a later field-test/spar, she manages to nearly topple it by luring it to a hilly uneven terrain, and jam its splatterpults among woodland trees.
* UnreliableNarrator: While she claimed she was the one who gave the order to arrest the Zephyr Heights Royal Family, other parts of her Drabble implied several other figures gave the same order, [[AmbiguousSituation leaving it ambiguous]] whether she really was the one who did it or if she was just claiming credit for it in her vanity. It is conceivable that she could had, or did so along with several others simutaneously without being aware the others did the same thing.

* YouShallNotPass: Attempted to stop the Unifying Five from escaping Zephyr Heights, intercepting them at the maintainence atrium just as they could reach the maintainence elevator that could take them out of the capital city.

* {{Expy}}: Of Launchpad McQuack (mostly the WesternAnimation/DuckTales reboot version)

* {{Expy}}: Of Jim Starling/the DuckTales reboot version of Negaduck

** When her son Sprout was feeling down and depressed over the whole '[[TyrantTakesTheHelm Sprout]] [[TheDictatorship Regime]]' episode, she [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/889105057/4952646750 attempted]] to make him feel better by using an [[GettingSmilesPaintedOnYourSoul experimental mood-improving drug]] her company's R&D division was working on, with Sprout being the official first Pony test subject. It actually worked ''[[GoneHorriblyRight too]]'' well, improving Sprout's mood to the point he briefly became a super-confident smack-talking LargeHam.

* {{Expy}}: Of the DuckTales reboot version of Darkwing Duck.

* {{Expy}}: Of Launchpad McQuack (mostly the DuckTales reboot version)

* OnlyMale: He is the only stallion in the Unifying Five. All of the other four members are female.

* NiceCharacterMeanActor: A downplayed example of the "Nice Character" part (as the writers were quite racist against unicorns and Pegasi, ALWAYS portraying them as villains played by earth ponies with fake horns or wings as well as using special effects to mimic a wide range of perceived abilities), but she DID play a super-hero. However, in real life, Springheart was a gigantic egomaniac who not only was partially responsible for her show getting cancelled with her increasingly outrageous demands, but also had a tendency to be rude to her fans. In fact, the "mean actor" part would be turned UpToEleven (possibly even Twelve) when she became a real life super-villainess.

--> '''Dr. Gigantor:''' Payback time, pests!
--> '''Sunny Starscout:''' Do we know you?
--> '''Dr. Gigantor:''' Oh right. You probably haven't met me yet. Even better, then! After all, I know how YOU fight, but you don't know how I do!
--> '''Zipp Storm:''' Considering you're a cyborg, it's a pretty reasonable guess that you have super-strength and super-toughness at minimum and the fact that you have the ability to increase your size indicates that your cybernetics probably have many more built-in unpleasant surprises.
--> '''Dr. Gigantor:''' ... Huh, check out the big brain on the Princess.

* HopelessBossFight: The Unifying Five were so outclassed in combat skill and experience by General Morning Glory in their first encounter with her that they couldn't even fight her properly, and only barely managed to slip past her to escape Zephyr Heights with a mix of cunning, improvisation and luck.

* HopelessBossFight: The Unifying Five were so outclassed in combat skill and experience by General Morning Glory that they couldn't even fight her properly and only barely managed to slip past her to escape Zephyr Heights with a mix of cunning, improvisation and luck.
* LargeHam: When Hitch Trailblazer wondered who she is, the conceited Pegasi General quickly decides to introduce herself in a most vainglorious manner.

* WarHero: This mare fought in actual conflicts, having battled a bunch of 'Mountain Warlords' up north with her legion and hoofing them their flanks readily.

* TheDreaded: Princess Zipp Storm is immediately apprehensive when General Morning Glory confronted her, and with [[WarHero good]] [[FourStarBadass reason]].
