History Characters / FriendshipIsWitchcraft

* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler:Her father]], to [[HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood hilarious extents]].

'''[[spoiler:Fluttershy's father]]:''' Is it like a fire? For... bunnies? Are you still angry because I threw your velveteen rabbit in a fire?

* [[spoiler:SelfMadeOrphan]]: [[spoiler:In all fairness, though, her father had it coming]].

[[folder:Fluttershy's Father]]

* AmbiguousDisorder: She has issues with personal space, social situations, and the volume of her voice. She's not avoided for being scary, as she thinks, but because she's awkward and clingy.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Her parents died in a fire and she was sent to an abusive orphanage. She was never adopted because no parents wanted an earth pony, only a pegasus or unicorn.

* ExtravertedNerd:
-->My ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' art is sure to make you squee in delight!

* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: She sounds not entirely unlike [[Film/TheRoom Tommy Wiseau]]. According to a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_HHjM3e5_Y Sherclop Pones panel]], Jenny and Griffin claimed that they based Molestia's voice on a video of a kid with a Bulgarian accent talking about his [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 Lion King]] fanfic. Lampshaded when somepony in the crowd asks "Why does she have an accent!?"

-->'''Sweetie Belle:''' [[AC:Initiate happy cry sequence!]]\\

-->'''Sweetie Belle:''' [[AC:Well at least I don't spend every Veterans Day sobbing on the floor!]]

-->'''Sweetie Belle:''' [[AC:...Sweetie Belle!]]

[[caption-width-right:250:[[AC:"The fun begins immediately!"]]]]

-->[[AC:''If the world isn't going to love me, '''then I'll teach it to fear me instead!''''']]

-->[[AC:Set phasers to hug!]]

* DramaticIrony: Sweetie Belle accuses Rarity of being a [[AC:"soulless automaton"]] when she protests attending the Sentient Social with her. Of course, she's also (quite obviously) a robot herself, but nobody (including herself) notices.

* NoWaterproofingInTheFuture: [[AC:"But the water makes me feel funny."]] Later demonstrated in "Seed No Evil".
* PaperThinDisguise: [[AC:Sweetie Belle is best sentient organic life form. Hooray!]]

-->[[AC:Death must enter life only to define it.]]

* [[spoiler:HappilyMarried]]: [[spoiler:[[BrotherSisterIncest To Francis]], as of "Foaly Matripony".]]

** Crosses over with UnreliableNarrator in "Foaly Matripony." The song "It'll Be Ok" is sung entirely from her point of view, but has Francis' singing suggests that her [[spoiler:[[VillianourIncest feelings for him]] were requited.]] A few scenes later Francis obliviously ends up debunking that idea.

* EverythingsBetterWithPlushies: One of her lyrics in The Convention song.
** "Meet fanboys by the dozens, they'll shower me with plushies!"

* GreenEyedMonster: Diamond Tiara bullies Apple Bloom because she has a crush on her. Silver Spoon also bullies Apple Bloom because Diamond Tiara has a crush on her

* ShakingTheRump: Somwhat disturbingly, this is why she has her cutie mark.
%%* VocalDissonance:

* HandicappedBadass: [[spoiler:Babs is no less effective a hellion after she's blinded.]]

* ProphetEyes: Gets these after [[spoiler:she's blinded]]. She seems to enjoy how uncomfortable they make people feel.

%%* GoodParents: According to Dash, she has these. In fact, Rainbow Dash seems to be the only one of the main cast without a twisted backstory. (She's just really stupid.)

* NiceHat: She loves her giant hats.

* AbusiveParents: Ye gods, is he ever. See HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood for details.

The rather... [[ItsAllAboutMe self-centered]] student and protege of Celestia. An obsessive fanfic writer, she has very lofty ambitions when it comes to becoming a princess, and an equally lofty opinion of herself. Oh, and [[BrotherSisterIncest is in love with her]] [[NotBloodSiblings not-blood-related older brother Francis]]. Like the rest of the Mane Six, she abuses Spike on a daily basis. As of "Lunar Slander", [[spoiler:she now has Luna/Molestia's title as princess of the night]], and as of "Foaly Matripony", [[spoiler:she is now married to Francis]].
----

** VillainProtagonist: Becomes this in "Foaly Matripony", [[spoiler:when she locks Cadence in a cave to die so she can marry Francis]].

* BrotherSisterIncest[=/=]NotBloodSiblings: She has a crush on [[spoiler:and eventually marries]] Francis, her adoptive brother.

* [[MostFanficWritersAreGirls Most Fanfic Writers Are Mares]]: She's quite the avid fanficcer.

* [[NotSoHarmlessVillain Not So Harmless Villain Protagonist]]: At first, she seems to be a simple incompetent jerk. It turns out she is a completely unhinged, surprisingly manipulative, possibly ''incredibly powerful'' incompetent jerk.

* [[PsychopathicManchild Psychopathic Marechild]]: Type B. Twilight has the [[LackOfEmpathy empathy]] and [[ItsAllAboutMe worldview]] of an incredibly spoiled little girl, and isn't all that much smarter than one. Her magical aptitude, ruthlessness, and occasional bursts of cunning are what make her so dangerous.

* [[spoiler:VillainousIncest]]: [[spoiler:With Francis. [[RunningGag They're not biologically related, so it's not creepy!]]]]

* [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Mare]]: Is this in "Cherry Bomb," where she does her best to warn her friends about the bomb, but all her attempts fail, causing her to resort to desperate measures. [[spoiler:Said desperate measures are of her letting them witness her horrible demise by the bomb just to get them to believe her about it]].

* OutOfCharacterIsSeriousBusiness: Her decision to attend the Sentient Social instead of the return of [[EldritchAbomination Lord Smooze]] is one of the ''only'' endearing moments in the series.

A self-absorbed ditz who often speaks [[PokemonSpeak by using her own name alone]] and has terrible eyesight (to the point that she wasn't allowed to join the army during the war because of it). [[spoiler:And if Scootaloo's word is anything to go by, Rainbow Dash is Scootaloo's mother as well.]]

* [[OnlySaneWoman Only Sane Mare]]: She's this, oddly enough, despite her [[CloudCuckoolander canon personality]]. Her friends ''still'' insist on treating her as an evil gypsy witch.

* [[OrphanageOfFear Orphanage Of Emotional Abuse]]: Judging from her orphanage songs, she was taught that she probably wouldn't ever be adopted because she was an 'ugly pink earth pony' and wasn't special enough to be loved. Her song in "Cherry Bomb" also reveals that they taught her to hide what ''did'' make her special.

* {{Cute Machine|s}}: Even with her [[RoboSpeak overtly robotic voice]].

* DeadpanSnarker

** YouAreWhatYouHate

A fangirl for Rainbow Dash who's willing to do anything for her. [[spoiler:Rainbow Dash is also apparently her mother]].

* AllLoveIsUnrequited: See Diamond Tiara's entry.

* IgnoredEnamoredUnderling

* VocalDissonance: Same as Diamond Tiara.

Apple Bloom's cousin, who comes to visit and joins Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon in tormenting the Snooty Snark Evaders. [[spoiler:In the end of "Seed No Evil", she goes blind after they wish upon Twinkle and invoke powerful dark magic]].

* [[spoiler:HandicappedBadass: Babs is no less effective a hellion after she's blinded.]]

* [[SixthRanger Third Wheel]]: Becomes this to Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.

* [[ADogNamedDog A Raincloud Named Raincloud]]

* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice]]: In "Cherry Bomb", [[spoiler:Raincloud saves Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight by taking the bomb that Applejack had been carrying and flying away with it, just before it explodes. Of course none of the Mane 6 seem to notice.]]

* [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Mare]]: Possibly. She is seemingly the only person in the cast who is appropriately cautious about Twilight's dark side: "Foaly Matripony" established that she exiled Twilight from Canterlot for killing two of her classmates and tells her that she wants to see "as little of her as possible" when she's allowed back in for the royal wedding. [[spoiler: Sadly, she wasn't sane enough to figure out that Twilight had imprisoned Cadence and left her for dead]].

Celestia's sister, the dorky princess of the night who assumed the name of "Luna" at Space Camp. [[spoiler:As of "Lunar Slander", she has given her title as Princess to Twilight Sparkle]].

Twilight's [[NotBloodSiblings (adoptive)]] older brother. He's part of a boy band and speaks like a SurferDude. Known as Shining Armor in the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic source material]]. [[spoiler:As of "Foaly Matripony", he is [[BrotherSisterIncest now married to Twilight Sparkle]].]]

* BrainlessBeauty
* [[BrainwashedAndCrazy Brainwashed and One-Dimensional]]: Implied. Cadence mentions that he's been acting less and less like a pony since the Mane Six showed up. And Twilight was shown using magic to [[WildMassGuessing mess with his head...]]

* DoorstopBaby

* [[spoiler:HappilyMarried: To Twilight, as of "Foaly Matripony"]].

* TotallyRadical

Francis Sparkle's fiancée. She's a world peace advocate, charity worker, wildlife conservationist, organ donor, children's book author, and the freely elected ruler of her own country. [[spoiler:She doesn't marry Francis. Twilight instead imprisoned her in a cave, where she died.]]

* [[spoiler:BackupTwin: Candace.]]
* [[spoiler:BreakTheCutie]]: [[spoiler:Was going to marry a boy band member and was fighting for world peace. Within a few days, Francis is stolen away by his ''sister'' [[NotBloodSiblings (it's okay, they're not biologically related)]] and ends up locked in a cave somewhere.]]

* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal]]: [[spoiler:Her skeleton can be seen during the credits, lying alone and forgotten in a cave under Canterlot.]]

* [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Mare]]: The sanest pony in the entire show.
* [[SixthRanger Seventh Ranger]]: According to Rarity, she's apparently supposed to join up as the seventh official member of the main cast. [[spoiler:Not anymore, though.]]
* [[spoiler:TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth]]

* [[spoiler:AbusiveParents]]: [[spoiler:Scootaloo claims that Rainbow Dash is her mother. Said mother never even acknowledges her daughter's existence, though that might be a combination of her astigmatism and idiocy.]]
* [[spoiler:BackFromTheDead]]: [[spoiler:After accidentally drowning in a fountain at the Grand Galloping Gala, Pinkie's portal manages to immediately resurrect her following a doctor pronouncing her dead.]]

* TheDitz

* GoodParents: According to Dash, she has these. In fact, Rainbow Dash seems to be the only one of the main cast without a twisted backstory. (She's just really stupid.)

* [[CuteWitch Cute Gypsy Witch]]

* FanNickname: "Sweetie Bot." No points for guessing why.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Her debut involves her singing [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame "Hellfire"]] in the first episode. [[DevilInPlainSight This tells you all you need to know about her character]].

* VillainousCrush: Implied to have one on Pinkie. The EstablishingCharacterMoment of both her and the series in general is of her singing [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame "Hellfire"]], which is about an evil religious leader's obsessive lust for a gypsy. Fluttershy leads a ReligionOfEvil and Pinkie is constantly called a gypsy witch. And according to Apple Bloom, Fluttershy said Pinkie has the "voluminous hair of a temptress."

* MeaningfulName: The "mo" part of "Molestia" is derived from "moon." However...
** UnfortunateName: [[UpToEleven Her name is literally Molestia.]] The holiday dedicated to her is Molest Fest. This year's was [[DoubleEntendre the most touching yet.]]
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: She sounds not entirely unlike [[Film/TheRoom Tommy Wiseau]]. According to a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_HHjM3e5_Y Sherclop Pones panel]], Jenny and Griffin claimed that they based Molestia's voice on a video of a kid with a Bulgarian accent talking about his [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 Lion King]] fanfic.
** Lampshaded when somepony in the crowd asks "Why does she have an accent!?"

* FamousLastWords:
-->'''Fluttershy:''' Do you know what a bunny fire is?
-->'''Fluttershy's father:''' Is it like a fire? For bunnies? Are you still angry that I threw your velveteen rabbit in the fire?

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In the first episode, she seems to actually ''like'' Twilight Sparkle — albeit in more of a "writer and BigNameFan" way than their close relationship in the actual show — and actually asks her for a friendship report. Later episodes show Princess Celestia to consider Twilight obnoxious at best and creepy at worst, and establishes the letters as something Twilight took it upon herself to send and Celestia wishes would just stop.

* LoveMartyr: Pinkie wants a father so badly that she even tries to get adopted by Fluttershy's abusive father. (The attempt still fails, because he'll only accept a pegasus or unicorn.)

* BadBadActing: Despite taking acting classes, she can't emote well.

* CrazyPrepared: Apparently she carries magical contact lenses that allow her to disguise herself as Fluttershy.
