!!Historical Figures

[[folder:Snowdrops Wintertide]]
First mentioned in the '[[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Equestria-Notable-Individuals-3-818161783 Order of the Weathersmiths]]' entry, Snowdrops Wintertide is a Pegasi general from the Three Tribes Era who was infamous for being a depraved, bloodthirsty and psychopathic warlord even by the more barbaric standards of her time, a Pony so dangerous many speculated she was born solely to beat other Ponies to death. She is notable for weaponizing snowflakes into deadly implements of warfare with the help of unscrupulous Weathersmiths under her employ, which she had used to devastate her foes. This infamy makes for jarring contrasts with her distant descendant Snowdrops of Cloudsdale, who would turn out to be so diametrically different in character.

* AxCrazy: SO very much this, with 'Depraved', 'Bloodthirsty' and 'Psychopathic' used in the same sentence to describe her. It's considered jarring in-universe that her more famous distant descendant is so different in character from her.
* CanonForeigner: [[https://www.deviantart.com/archonix/art/History-s-Greatest-Monster-407089278 Based]] on a [[RecursiveFanfiction FIM fan's reinterpretation of Snowdrops, which is the creation of another fan]], working on the premise that Snowdrops' character is an in-universe OrwellianRetcon of another Pony who is actually the complete opposite of gentle, kindhearted Snowdrops: a violent, hateful and cruel maniac who made bloodshed, not snowflakes, into an art-form. Here, both versions exist, with GENERAL Snowdrops Wintertide being the original Snowdrops' ancestor during the Three Tribes era.
* DemonOfHumanOrigin: [[spoiler:It's heavily implied that she's not actually dead, but had ascended to full demonhood thanks to an evil goddess called the "Gorequeen"]].
* TheDreaded: Being a Pony seemingly born solely to beat other Ponies to death, she was undoubtedly this.
* EveryoneHasStandards: While the Three Tribes Era Ponies are implied to be no saints, General Snowdrops Wintertide is considered depraved, bloodthirsty and psychopathic even by THEIR standards.
* FantasticRacism: According to the original RecursiveFanfiction, she had a thing against Unicorns and lost an eye headbutting one in a tavern fight. Which she herself started. Codexverse drabbles and quotes also added a contempt for Griffons in her character.
* FlechetteStorm: Weaponized snowflakes into ice-shurikens and is the inventor of the 'Iceblade Storm', both with the help of unscrupulous Weathersmiths under her employ. She and her forces could unleash a literal version of this with razor-sharp snowflakes that could shred whole armies of her enemies.
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:It is heavily implied from a Codexverse drabble post that she is not entirely dead, but thanks to an evil goddess called the "Gorequeen", [[DemonOfHumanOrigin she became something much, MUCH worse]]...]]

[[folder:Snowdrops of Cloudsdale]]
First mentioned in the '[[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Equestria-Notable-Individuals-3-818161783 Order of the Weathersmiths]]' entry like her infamous ancestor, Snowdrops of Cloudsdale was a young Pegasi filly who lived thousands of years after the Three Tribes era as a distant descendant of the Pegasi warlord of the same name, and was a personal friend of Princess Luna prior to her becoming Nightmare Moon. Despite being kicked out of House Wintertide for being born with congenital blindness, she nevertheless achieves renown during her tragically short life as not only for her gentle and kindhearted character, but also being one of the most skilled weather-artisans of her generation. She remains well-remembered in contrast to her more villainous ancestor as the main character of her own fable.

* TheClan: The Apple Clan is ne of the biggest in Equestria and also among the most diverse in composition, going from farmers in Ponyville to buckeroos in Appleloosa, from respectable business-Ponies in Manehattan to crime lords in Baltimare, and even include Giants like Big Apple and [[spoiler:[[GodInHumanForm mortally-incarnated]] deities]] like Black Diamond Apple.

--> '''Braeburn:''' [[ShoutOut Yippee-ki-yay]], melon farmer![[note]]And yes, he knows the [[{{Film/DieHard}} reference]] as a Second Age film he watched[[/note]]

--> '''Braeburn:''' Ya just broke the poor fella’s legs! All four of ‘em!
--> '''JST:''' I am rather surprised it took this long. Craven cultists like him usually give up on the first one.
--> '''Braeburn:''' This ain’t how we do things around ‘ere…!
--> '''JST:''' Oh, my apologies - I was not informed. Worry not; he will live, if it matters to you this much.

--> '''Applejack:''' What are you doing here, uncle Bad Apple?
--> '''Apple Flavour:''' You know how it is, my dear niece. I do many things, but forsaking family is never one of them.

* MeaningfulName: Spoiled 'Cavier' - a rather expensive delicacy - is fitting for a Pony who is a rotten greedy businessmane who became a rotten sleazy politician [[spoiler:and a rotten [[FantasticRacism racist]] [[TheQuisling traitor]] on top of that]].

* EveryoneHasStandards: Implied to have a code of honour which, among other things, do not harass and even protect enemy pilots who had been shot down and are parachuting to safety. They [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/930826834/5080855810 even]] [[UnfriendlyFire shot down a friendly ally aerofighter]] who was planning to strafe a parachuting enemy pilot, breaking their [[TheQuietOne well-known silence]] to make clear they do not approve of such behaviour.

* TheDreaded: While generally not out to do no harm, they are still bucking vampires, with even the nicest heroic FriendlyNeighbourhoodVampire capable of inspiring dread to any mortal merely by their appearances. Then you find out how dangerous they really are [[SuperSoldier when they actually go]] [[OneManArmy all out in battle]].

The adoptive elder brother of [[spoiler:Vinyl Scratch]] by virtue of predating her as a Fledging but eventually acknowledging each other as adoptive family of their mutual Sire/surrogate parent Count Sanguine Passion.

* AwesomeMomentOfCrowning: [[spoiler:Played with, but the donning of the 'Crown of Crimson Sun' once worn by [[{{Characters/CodexEquusNewCrypta}} Sekra]] [[FamedInStory the]] [[TheMagnificent Indomitable]], [[GodEmpress High Queen of Crypta]] was done [[GodzillaThreshold more or less out of desperation]] as various hostile factions fighting over it converge on her. And when the dust settled, [[SymbioticPossession it isn't exactly Daring Do]] [[BackFromTheDead that re-emerged]]...]]
* BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: Engaged in one with Sekra the Indomitable after Sekra [[spoiler: possessed/transfigured her body to reincarnated back into the living world from the Crown of the Crimson Sun where the High Queen of Crypta had slept through the ages until Daring Do donned her crown in desperation to keep it from falling into the wrong hooves]]. She and Sekra eventually [[ForegoneConclusion came to an agreement]].

* DespairEventHorizon: Daring was demoralized to the point of nearly giving up on adventuring on two occasions, due to her enemies' schemes to slander her name. One was when [[{{Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E17DaringDone}} Cabelleron tried to slander her good name]] [[MaliciousSlander by anonymously inciting controversy]] [[DestructiveSaviour over all the damage she had done]], and the other is when [[{{Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS9E21DaringDoubt}} Cabelleron and Ahuizotl]] [[EnemyMine both worked together]] [[ManBehindTheMan with other]] malicious parties to expose AK Yearling as Daring Do and paint her as a plundering thief and greedy villain. Both times, Daring's [[HeroicSecondWind resolve]] and [[YouAreNotAlone support from her friends and allies]] such as Rainbow Dash and Queen Dazzleglow helped [[ShesBack restore her confidence]] and [[RebuiltPedestal reputation]]. The latter attempt is implied to have [[ThisIsUnforgivable pushed her too far]], as her FinalBattle with her two [[ArchEnemy mortal foes]] [[TheGlovesComeOff occurred shortly thereafter]] that saw them either KilledOffForReal or otherwise out of her life for good.
* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: After her final battle with her two main adversaries (implied to have been killed off or out of everypony's hair for good) and publishing her story as the 'Grand Finale' of the Daring Do series, Daring Do is noted to be looking for something to fill in the void in her soul left behind, even as she continued her adventures. [[spoiler:She would find that purpose in Crypta, where in her DarkestHour she [[GodzillaThreshold donned the]] Crown of [[{{Characters/CodexEquusNewCrypta}} Sekra]] [[TheConqueror the]] [[TheMagnificent Indomitable]], and [[EleventhHourSuperpower find]] [[SymbioticPossession herself]] [[DeityOfHumanOrigin transfigured...]]]]

* FinalBattle: Daring Do had one against her two primary adversaries Ahuizotl and Dr Cabelleron some time after the end of the show's final season. Although what happened is yet to be revealed, [[spoiler:[[ForegoneConclusion it is confirmed that]] both her adversaries are [[KilledOffForReal either dead]] [[UncertainDoom or gone]] for good]].

** DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife to fill in the void left behind, she continues her adventuring, eventually finding herself in a fight/race against other malicious or hostile forces to find and retrieve the Crown of the legendary [[{{Characters/CodexEquusNewCrypta}} Sekra the Indomitable]], founder and High Queen of the Empire of Crypta. [[spoiler:Cornered, on verge of certain doom, and desperate to keep the artifact from falling in the other parties' hooves, she donned the Crown to access its powers - and is possessed and transfigured by Sekra herself, who reawakens and returns to the physical world through her, annihilates the intruders in her full divine glory and begins to rebuild her long-ruined and forgotten empire with her 'Tomb Kings' and subjects both undead and the living]].

* CanonCharacterAllAlong: He's a member of the Craanaasti, which are better known both in- and out-universe as the [[{{WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyAndFriends}} Crabnasties]].
