History Characters / FriendshipIsMagicAnimalCompanions

A tiny phoenix chick that hatched at the end of "Dragon Quest", well after his parents and siblings were driven away from their nest. Spike found his egg and almost smashed it on orders from the leader of a dragon gang, but decided to take it home with him and raise it. A series of pictures in the ColdOpen of "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E8JustForSidekicks Just for Sidekicks]]" (a pet-centric episode) shows that Spike has since returned Peewee to a pair of phoenixes to be properly raised.

* AmbiguousGender: Since he only hatched at the end of the episode, it wasn't until the trading cards that his gender was revealed, and it's still impossible to tell from the show alone.

* ActionPet: Doesn't seem like it, but when Rainbow is in danger, he lifts a boulder with his freakin' head.

* SuperStrength: Like we said, able to lift a boulder, and he can also carry Rainbow Dash all by himself.

* OutOfFocus: Winona seems to have gotten the worst of this out of the pets of the Mane Six. She shows up quite often alongside Applejack at numerous points in the early seasons. Since Season 4, however, her appearances have been relegated to cameos, and and after one last cameo in Season 6 she just doesn't show up at all.

* HappinessInSlavery: Loves to help Applejack herd sheep.

->'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E22ABirdInTheHoof A Bird in the Hoof]]"

->Voiced by Creator/TabithaStGermain[[note]]according to [[http://efrpresents.everfree.net/2012/07/interview-tabitha-st-germain/ this interview]][[/note]]

Princess Celestia's pet [[ThePhoenix phoenix]]. She initially appeared unwell, so Fluttershy birdnapped her to make her feel better. Of course, she never actually ''needed'' the medical attention on the basis of being a phoenix -- so she made herself the most uncooperative patient ever for the hell of it.

* AllAnimalsAreDogs: Played with, as she acts something like a parrot (minus the mimicry part).
* BackFromTheDead: Like all depictions of phoenixes, she spontaneously catches fire when she dies and rises from the ashes.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: She first appeared in the Season 1 episode "A Bird in the Hoof", where she played a major role and was established as an unusual and noteworthy creature and Princess Celestia's personal pet. Despite several visits to Canterlot and Celestia's palace and living quarters, that was the first and last time she was ever mentioned or shown in the show.
* CoolPet: A phoenix, serving as an immortal, magical pet for an immortal, magical princess.
* TheDogIsAnAlien: She's a prankster and pretends to be a sickly parrot much to Fluttershy's consternation.
* EmpathyPet: Reflects Celestia's more... [[ItAmusedMe mischievous]] side.
* FeatherFingers: Until those feathers drop off as well, leaving what looks like ''actual'' fingers...
* FieryRedhead: Literally, when she's reborn.
* GoodAnimalsEvilAnimals: In a brief cameo in the comics' [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDWIssue17To20 Reflections]] storyline, Philomena's evil mirror counterpart is drawn as resembling a haggard, scrawny vulture, contrasting with the proud, eagle-like appearance of her normal self in the main universe.
* IncurableCoughOfDeath: This is why Fluttershy birdnaps her.
* ItAmusedMe: According to Celestia, the reason behind Philomena's melodramatic behaviour is she was having fun with tormenting poor Fluttershy.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She spends the entirety of her debut messing with Fluttershy for her own amusement. After she's reborn, she gives Fluttershy one of her feathers as a thank-you gift.
* MeaningfulName: Philomena comes from the Greek words ''philos'' (friend) and ''menos'' (strength); together meaning "friend of strength".
* NeverSayDie:
** According to Celestia, Philomena "must renew herself".
** When she burns up in front of the Mane Six, Twilight explains to Celestia that "there's been a terrible accident".
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Her extremely dumb and erratic behavior were fake; she was just having fun at Fluttershy and Twilight's expense.
* PaperThinDisguise: She temporarily wears a mustache to evade Twilight and Fluttershy when they are chasing her.
* PerpetualMolt: Justified for once; Philomena losing feathers is taken as a sign she's unwell.
* ThePhoenix: She's a phoenix, a large eagle-like bird with red and yellow plumage. She cyclically ages into a scrawny, wasted-looking form, before catching on fire, burning away to nothing and rejuvenating from her ashes.
* PickyEater: Fluttershy learns this the hard way.
* ThePrankster: Acted like a dramatic, terminally ill soap opera character just to mess with Fluttershy's head. Celestia implies that this isn't the first time Philomena has played a trick on somepony like this.
* ShoutOut: [[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheChamberOfSecrets Fluttershy meets Philomena when she's at Death's door; Philomena bursts into flame and dies when her owner isn't there and Fluttershy feels incredibly guilty until Celestia explains the nature of a phoenix.]]
* ShownTheirWork:
** When she's revived as a healthy phoenix, take a look at her beak. If you know anything about birds, it suddenly makes perfect sense that she'd hork up the seed she was given; that's pretty obviously a raptor's beak. To put it another way, Philomena's a carnivore. It gets better if you know enough about the original Greco-Egyptian Phoenix myth: phoenix would feed only on dew/ the waters of the Nile, and so living off water would be the only creatures never to harm another living thing in their lives, not even a plant, and thus live innocent and so could be re-born (note, the earliest Egyptian phoenix myths might have been based on sightings of Flamingos, who sieve algae out of water, live in burning hot deserts and raise their young in salt-flats conditions that would kill most birds from heat-stroke). So you'd not expect a true Phoenix to eat at all.
** Her prankster-ish behavior, though humorously exaggerated, is not too unlike the more mischievous behavior of real life parrots; for instance, her apparent enjoyment in seeing her caretakers getting frustrated.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: "Philomena" is the trademarked spelling used on [[http://theponyartcollection.tumblr.com/post/26391213917/pets-and-spike her trading card]], but her name's also been spelled as "Philomeena" (by Hasbro [[http://www.hasbro.com/common/assets/Image/Printables/dad2af6e1c4311ddbd0b0800200c9a66/92279E335056900B100D5E9629DAE390/922929405056900B10E9B4BF373949BE.pdf here]], [[http://www.facebook.com/questions/389107571106686/ here]], and [[https://twitter.com/MyLittlePony/status/210057194656366592 here]]) and as "Philemena" (in a storyboard for "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E22ABirdInTheHoof A Bird in the Hoof]]").
* ToothyBird: She's shown to have teeth in her beak, although this is only visible in her haggard, pre-rejuvenation form.

[[quoteright:217:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/harry.png]]
->'''First Mention:''' "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E25PartyOfOne Party of One]]"\\
'''Full Debut:''' "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E3LessonZero Lesson Zero]]"

Harry the brown bear is one of Fluttershy's numerous animal friends, and the one most commonly seen with her after Angel Bunny. He lives in a surprisingly well-equipped burrow in the forest close to Ponyville.

* AmplifiedAnimalAptitude: He doesn't speak, but beyond that he's shown to be quite intelligent, like most of Fluttershy's animal friends. He's notably seen taking part in her literature club or playing cards with Pinkie Pie.
* BaitAndSwitch: The very first time we see him, it looks like he's attacking Fluttershy, and she has to fight back... while in truth she's giving him a chiropractic treatment.
* BearHug: Well, yeah, what other kind of hugs do you expect from him? Notably, at the end of "Scare Master", or for the reformed Starlight Glimmer.
* BearsAreBadNews: Subverted. He's usually harmless, and nopony in Ponyville shows any alarm seeing him around. Although if you seriously upset Fluttershy, he can still get into huge, snarling bear mode with no problem.
* BearyFriendly: Despite his BaitAndSwitch introduction, it is quickly proved he's very nice and friendly, especially with Fluttershy. He's later seen partaking in various harmless activities, like playing cards or reading in her literature club.
* ButtMonkey: His appearances frequently involve some kind of mishap happening to him. Like being (apparently) beaten to death by Fluttershy, getting his fish meal stolen by Scootaloo, scared by Rainbow Dash's prank along Fluttershy, or having a carpet swept from underneath him by an oblivious Rarity.
* CuddleBug: He is known for giving literal bear hugs.
* EyeAmWatchingYou: In "28 Pranks Later", he makes the gesture toward Rainbow Dash with two claws, showing he hasn't forgotten about her mean prank to Fluttershy.
* FishPeople: In "Scare Master", he's disguised into a cave monster looking closely like the Film/CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon.
* GentleGiant: He's the biggest of Fluttershy's friends, but he's a big softie and never hurts anypony or any of the other animals.
* LovableCoward: He shares with Fluttershy the trait of not being very courageous. Seen in "28 Pranks Later" when a mysterious shadow is enough to scare him, or in "Every Little Thing She Does", where he cowers from the bugs gathered by Fluttershy.
* MamaBear: Well, he's male, but he can still get quite protective of Fluttershy. Scaring her when he's around isn't a good idea; also, he keeps grudge.
* OddNameOut: Among ponies which have very varied name schemes, and even among Fluttershy's animal friends which have descriptive names like "Mr. Fuzzy Legs", he's just plain old Harry. (Although it's sometimes spelled "Hairy".)
* RealMenWearPink: He's a big burly bear, but he's perfectly happy to partake in rather girly activities with Fluttershy and showing open affection toward her.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: He's introduced apparently badly losing a wrestling match ''against Fluttershy'', including a NeckSnap. In fact, she was giving him a vigorous massage.

->'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E7MayTheBestPetWin May the Best Pet Win!]]"

In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E7MayTheBestPetWin May the Best Pet Win!]]", Rainbow Dash seeks out a pet to have for her own by holding a contest. While initially unimpressed by a hapless tortoise that Fluttershy insists Rainbow admit as a contestant, Rainbow Dash is won over when he's the only one to stop and help her during the final contest after her wing gets pinned under a huge boulder. As a result, she's inspired to declare the tortoise whom she names "Tank" as the winner and her new pet.

->'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E21DragonQuest Dragon Quest]]"

A tiny phoenix chick that hatched at the end of "Dragon Quest", well after his parents and siblings were driven away from their nest. Spike found his egg and almost smashed it on orders from the leader of a dragon gang, but decided to take it home with him and raise it. A series of pictures in the ColdOpen of "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E8JustForSidekicks Just for Sidekicks]]" (a pet-centric episode) shows that Spike has since returned Peewee to a pair of phoenixes to be properly raised.

* AllThereInTheManual: [[http://chimicherrychanga.com/img/tc/44b.jpg His trading card]] refers to him using male pronouns, which reveals that he's a boy.
* AmbiguousGender: Since he only hatched at the end of the episode, it wasn't until the trading cards that his gender was revealed, and it's still impossible to tell from the show alone.
* AppropriatedAppellation: A couple of the dragon bullies mocked Spike as looking more like a "Peewee".
* TheBusCameBack: In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E11MoltDown Molt Down]]", five seasons after his departure, he reappears as a full-grown phoenix when Spike goes to visit him while helping Rarity gather phoenix feathers.
* CoolPet: The coolest of the Mane Cast's pets because he's a phoenix chick.
* EggMacGuffin: His egg was the only one not already hatched at the time of the dragon raid. When ordered to smash it, Spike refused because it reminded him of his own origins. After the ordeal was over, Spike took it home to raise it as his own.
* ThePhoenix: He's a phoenix chick, apparently too young to have gone through his first aging, death, fire and rebirth cycle yet.
* PutOnABus: He's returned to his original family offscreen, as shown in "Just for Sidekicks".
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: He's very cute and fluffy as a chick. Too bad we don't get to see much of it since he was reunited with his real parents.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: He was introduced in the last scene of "Dragon Quest" and never seen again until he was PutOnABus in "Just for Sidekicks".

[[folder:Smokey, Softpad and Smokey Jr.]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/large_25.png]]
->'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E10TheSaddleRowReview The Saddle Row Review]]"

When the main characters started renovating Rarity's new Manehattan shop before opening day, they found that this family of raccoons living in the backroom. After some initial unpleasantness caused by the raccoons' refusal to move out, a happy medium was reached and the raccoons stay on as helpers and assistants in Rarity's boutique.

* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: At the end of "The Saddle Row Review", as part of their new job as staff in ''Rarity for You'', they wear suits, ties and aprons… and still no pants.
* AnthropomorphicShift: They start out as pure animals in their debut episode, but end up becoming staff in the store, complete with wearing clothing and walking on their hind legs like humans.
* FantasticSlur: Being called rodents seem to be this for them. In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E4FakeItTilYouMakeIt Fake It 'Til You Make It]]", after Fluttershy has completely [[BecomingTheMask lost herself in her upper-class storekeeper persona]], both their reaction and that of other ponies to Fluttershy calling them rodents is consistent with the use of a heavy racial slur.
-->'''Fluttershy:''' And you'll be pleased to hear that I've taken care of your ''rodent'' situation.\\
[raccoons chitter in shock, one faints]\\
'''Pinkie Pie:''' Will somebody tell her to ''stop saying it?''
* FurryConfusion: Are they wild animals or hobos? Most of "The Saddle Row Review" suggests the former, but the ending where Fluttershy gives them a job suggests the latter. "Fake It 'Till You Make It" adds to the confusion, having them act more -- but not entirely -- like animals again.
* InnocentBlueEyes: Smokey Jr., the youngest raccoon, has large, entirely blue eyes, unlike the two other raccoons' black ones.
* TimmyInAWell: In "Fake It 'Til You Make It", once Fluttershy becomes completely lost in her shopkeeper roles, the raccoons rush back to Ponyville to get help for her. Since they can't speak, they communicate this though frantic chittering and charades -- Spike, a Dragon Charades champion, has to translate their gestures for everyone else.

%%%* WhiteBunny:

* MeaningfulName: Possibly a coincidence but "Winona" means "first born daughter", a description that fits Applejack.

* OutOfFocus: Winona seems to have gotten the worst of this out of the pets of the Mane Six. Since Season 4, her appearances have been relegated to cameos.

* YouNeedABreathMint: According to Twilight Sparkle she does.

A tiny toothless baby alligator who belongs to Pinkie Pie. He tends to bite or snap at anyone or anything near him but never does any damage. The alligator usually spends his time staring into space and doing nothing except when he's blinking, swimming around in the bathtub or playing with a balloon.

* ActionPet: He fights a full-grown dragon.

Spike found his egg and almost smashed it on orders from the leader of a dragon gang, but decided to take it home with him and raise it. A series of pictures in the ColdOpen of "Just for Sidekicks" (a pet-centric episode) shows that Spike has since returned Peewee to a pair of phoenixes to be properly raised.

* OutOfFocus: Only hatched at the very end of his debut episode, and had been PutOnABus offscreen by the next time he was even referenced in the show.

* PutOnABus: Was returned to his family or a foster family offscreen, as shown in "Just for Sidekicks".
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Too bad we don't get to see much of it since he was reunited with his real parents.

* FantasticRacism: Being called rodents seem to be this for them. In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E4FakeItTilYouMakeIt Fake It 'Til You Make It]]", after Fluttershy has completely [[BecomingTheMask lost herself in her upper-class storekeeper persona]], both their reaction and that of other ponies to Fluttershy calling them rodents is consistent with the use of a heavy racial slur.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: {{Averted|Trope}}, as the ColdOpen of "Just for Sidekicks" (an episode that featured all of the pets) shows Spike returning the bird to a good phoenix home.

* FluffyTheTerrible: His name being "Angel" doesn't doesn't stop him from being the worst-tempered of the ponies' pets.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

* AmbiguousGender: Throughout the entire first season, his gender was never stated on the show and DummiedOut text from ''[[http://www.hubworld.com/my-little-pony/shows/friendship-is-magic/games/mlp-adventures-in-ponyville Adventures in Ponyville]]'' even called him female. However in the second season episode "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E2TheReturnOfHarmonyPart2 The Return of Harmony, Part 2]]", Fluttershy says "good boy" to him which confirms that he's male.

* FluffyTheTerrible: Just because his given name is "Angel", doesn't means that he won't be a mean rabbit.

* ImpliedDeathThreat: Receives a non-verbal one from Owlowiscious after he promises to cause trouble for Spike. He's rightfully intimidated, since bunnies are typically prey for owls.
* IronicName: Compare his name to his actual behavior, and see how angelic he really is.

* RedOniBlueOni: Red to Fluttershy's blue because he is more confrontational and assertive, and kind of a jerk.

* ShesAManInJapan: In the Polish dub, he's referred to as female (perhaps because in Polish "owl" is a noun with a female gender, [[WinnieThePooh this isn't the first translation to do so]]).

* LovableCoward: He shares with Fluttershy the trait of not being very courageous. Seen in "28 Pranks Later" when a mysterious shadow is enough to scare him, or in "Every Little Things She Does", where he cowers from the bugs gathered by Fluttershy.

* BeleagueredAssistant: A more beign example. Alot of his attitude come be explained by the fact that it has to be somewhat frustrating when you have to help manage [[ShrinkingViolet someone]] [[FragileFlower like]] [[{{Hikikomori}} Fluttershy]], especially if you're a bunny.

* ComicRoleplay: Roleplays as a coach like Rainbow Dash during a training montage from Fluttershy, even wearing a similar hat and whistle.

* DomesticAbuser: His out of character treatment of Fluttershy makes him look like one in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E19PuttingYourHoofDown Putting Your Hoof Down]]". In that episode he demands she make him a special meal, slaps her when she refuses, and then kicks her out when its not perfect. [[LaserGuidedKarma He pays for this later...]]

* RedOniBlueOni: To Fluttershy.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: But don't let it fool you; if you act stupid or annoy him, he'll let you have it.

** Even before that, there was "A Bird in the Hoof", where he tried to explain to Fluttershy that she was running late for Princess Celestia's visit to Ponyville. She didn't ''quite'' get the message, at first.
* SpoiledBrat: Comes across this way in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E7Dragonshy Dragonshy]] when he throws a temper tantrum over Fluttershy gently urging him to eat slower, or in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E12BabyCakes Baby Cakes]]" where she can't babysit for the Cakes because ''he'' wants a picnic. Though to be fair, Fluttershy ''did'' promise him and it is common for someone to be angry if a promise broken. Even more so in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E19PuttingYourHoofDown Putting Your Hoof Down]]" when he places unreasonable demands on how he wants his salad, and slaps Fluttershy when he doesn't get his way.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Usually what he averages out to. He's spoiled, but in the end he loves Fluttershy and wants nothing more than to help her.

* TookALevelInBadass: In issue #23 of the comic (see ADayInTheLimelight above.)
* TookALevelInJerkass: His treatment on Fluttershy in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E19PuttingYourHoofDown Putting Your Hoof Down]]". [[spoiler:[[WouldHitAGirl He slapped her face]] and ''kicked her out of her own house''. Why? ''[[DisproportionateRetribution Because the salad with whipped cream and a cherry on top had no cherry!]]'']]

* WhiteBunny: See his picture.

** When she denies wanting Twilight's ticket to the Gala in "The Ticket Master", he thumps his paw against her leg, prompting her to explain that she really wants to go to the Gala to see the royal gardens. Later in the episode, he does the same thing when Fluttershy denies [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial that she's cleaning Twilight's house in hopes of getting the ticket.]]

** In "Ponyville Confidential", when the Cutie Mark Crusaders come to Fluttershy's house and she's crying too hard over the mean things they wrote about her in the gossip column, Angel is the one who angrily shuts the door on them.

* EmpathyPet: He sometimes guides Fluttershy to express her true feelings. When she denies wanting Twilight's ticket to the Gala in "The Ticket Master", he thumps his paw against her leg, prompting her to explain that she really wants to go to the Gala to see the royal gardens. Later in the episode, he does the same thing when Fluttershy denies [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial that she's cleaning Twilight's house in hopes of getting the ticket.]]

* BackFromTheDead: Like all depictions of phoenixes, she burns herself when she dies and rises from the ashes.
* CoolPet: Don't let the picture fool you, She's actually a phoenix.

* ThePhoenix: As stated multiple times on this very page.

* PlayingWithFire: She's a phoenix so she has fire power as a innate talent.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: "Philomena" is the trademarked spelling used on [[http://theponyartcollection.tumblr.com/post/26391213917/pets-and-spike her trading card]], but it's also been spelled as "Philomeena" (by Hasbro [[http://www.hasbro.com/common/assets/Image/Printables/dad2af6e1c4311ddbd0b0800200c9a66/92279E335056900B100D5E9629DAE390/922929405056900B10E9B4BF373949BE.pdf here]], [[http://www.facebook.com/questions/389107571106686/ here]], and [[https://twitter.com/MyLittlePony/status/210057194656366592 here]]) or "Philemena" (in a storyboard for "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E22ABirdInTheHoof A Bird in the Hoof]]").
* ToothyBird: Shown to have teeth in her beak in her debut episode.

* SolidClouds: In "Tanks for the Memories" he's seen standing on clouds just like a pegasus. Probably another ability granted by the magical copter.

* ThoseMagnificentFlyingMachines: After Rainbow Dash realizes tortoises can't fly, Tank's outfitted with a helicopter-like device to allow him to keep up with her.

A tiny phoenix chick that hatched at the end of the episode, well after his parents and siblings were driven away from their nest. Spike found his egg and almost smashed it on orders from the leader of a dragon gang, but decided to take it home with him and raise it. A series of pictures in the ColdOpen of "Just for Sidekicks" (a pet-centric episode) shows that Spike has since returned Peewee to a pair of phoenixes to be properly raised.

* ThePhoenix: He's a phoenix chick.

Rarity's fluffy Persian cat; often referred to as "Opal" for short. Although Rarity adores her, the feeling doesn't appear to always be entirely mutual.

* BeleagueredAssistant: A more benign example. It must be just a '''little''' bit frustrating having to deal with [[ShrinkingViolet someone]] [[FragileFlower like]] [[{{Hikikomori}} Fluttershy]].

* ManChild: Very immature and bratty.

* ToughLove: He gives to Fluttershy every so often when he tries to help her out.

* FatCat: While it looks like this is the case and would make sense given her SpoiledBrat characterization, "Sweet and Elite" shows when Opal get wet that she's actually really skinny, and is just very fluffy.
