History Characters / ManehattansLoneGuardian

-->"I don't know. It just seemed right."

* YourMindMakesItReal: When amped by her armor, Illudere effectively becames the mistress of her own little domain, with her illusions capable of manifesting as many different forms as she likes and ''all of them'' capable of doing serious harm.

* HorrifyingTheHorror: Drama takes great pride in her ability to scare her audience senseless, and is fully immersed in horror itself. However, she ''has'' admitted to being scared enough of Gray Ghost on one occasion that she thought the pegasus was going to kill her. In addition she is still a civilian entertainer, and sufficiently unusual circumstances can still scare her.

* TranquilFury: Is coldly furious when she finds out how her staircase is destroyed, roping the one responsible into working for her until the debt is paid off.

!!Agent #5: Illudere

* ForgotAboutHisPowers: During a brief segment where Pure Energy steals Ralph from her, Illudere is angry enough while pursuing him that she forgets that she can just use her spellcraft to put an end to the chase early.

* TheRival: According to her profile, she was originally one towards Drama Heart in Baltimare prior to being sent to an asylum. Even with the rivalry long gone, her memory of it is apparently strong enough that she can detect heartsongs sung by Drama from miles away.

* AscendedToCarnivorism: It is strongly implied that she is fully able to eat meat, though this is less due to insanity and more due to [[spoiler:outside experimentation]]. On one occasion, she has a staredown with a large fish at an aquarium and comments that she's craving fish sticks. During a later chapter at a griffon-run restaurant, she has a pizza topped with a meat substitute instead of the real deal, probably to keep from making her family uncomfortable. "Day Three, Part One" fully removes any ambiguity by depicting Gray eating a fish raw.

* OddFriendship: Develops one with a group of gamblers several times her age while playing cards with them, impressing them with her poker face and general gaming ability. A second one later begins developing with [[spoiler:Calico Driftwood]] when she starts teaching the subject how to play [=FreeCell.=]

* BreakingTheFourthWall: During Day One of the "Vignettes" set of chapters, Pure Energy plays an unknown prank on Illudere. This drives her to angrily protest on the story's FAQ blog post out of nowhere, demanding that the author release her from whatever Energy had done. Her insanity is implied to be responsible, as none of the other characters have shown these sorts of capabilities.
* CharacterCatchphrase: Uses "Infidel!" when addressing somepony who makes her mad.

* EmotionlessGirl: Is basically Maud Pie Lite. When she's kidnapped, her behavior in this regard is able to unnerve the culprit.

* OddFriendship: Develops one with a group of gamblers several times her age while playing cards with them, impressing them with her poker face and general gaming ability.

An illusionist with her mind on a separate planet.

* SatelliteCharacter: All of his appearances are directly connected to Gray's presence.

* EveryoneHasStandards: After Calico meets Fiver and fails to get any sort of dialogue or emotion from her, she begins believing that the foal had somehow been to the kirin's home village and gotten Silenced. This leads her to protest that they shouldn't have done that to a random child.

* FormerlyFit: Has claimed herself to be this on several occasions on account of her pushing forty years of age. After the first batch of enemy agents are captured, she starts taking up jogging in an attempt to get herself back in shape.

* AscendedToCarnivorism: It is strongly implied that she is fully able to eat meat, though this is less due to insanity and more due to [[spoiler:outside experimentation]]. On one occasion, she has a staredown with a large fish at an aquarium and comments that she's craving fish sticks. During a later chapter at a griffon-run restaurant, she has a pizza topped with a meat substitute instead of the real deal, probably to keep from making her family uncomfortable.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: During Day One of the "Vignettes" set of chapters, Pure Energy plays an unknown prank on Illudere. This drives her to angrily protest on the story's FAQ blog post out of nowhere, demanding that the author release her from whatever Energy had done.

* EccentricExterminator: Ebony was already a pest hunter at the start of the story, but she starts showing signs of this trope when she's trapped in a room infested with bugs, spiders, and (implied) mice. She thoroughly trashes the room while hollering and yelling threats at the top of her voice, including referring to spiders as Film/EightLeggedFreaks.

* DarkIsNotEvil: Has a pitch black coat and gray mane, but is actually a sweet and considerate mare.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Sandwiches made with Grand Pear's pear jam. She never leaves home without at least one jar. It is later discerned that it has to specifically be ''Grand Pear's'' brand of jam, as she will turn up her nose at any other kind.

* HeroicBSOD: Learning that magic is a legitimate concept will do that to a robot. Leviathan's hardware crashes and causes her to faint when she first hears about it.

* MarriedToTheJob: Claims to be this in response to Coffee's statement that she's a monster.

* CoolOldLady: Went from being a morally-challenged scientist in her youth to a competent daycare owner and babysitter after thirty-four years. Pure Energy remembers her for the delicious sandwiches she made, while Fiver recalls Juniper helping her read a book implied to be above her grade level.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: Omega appears only briefly in a flashback, but his slaughter of Quarter's squadron burned her memory of him into permanence. Because of him, Quarter cannot look at Leviathan without seeing Omega in her place. One of the 2nd Anniversary Chapter's What Ifs shows that without Omega's influence, she would have left Leviathan alone and never accelerated her plans to conquer Equestria.
