!Bridlewood
Home of the unicorn ponies, Bridlewood is a low-tech village built within a large forest. Having lost their magic, most of the unicorns had become morose and apathetic.
----
[[folder:General]]
* AbsurdPhobia: Most of the unicorns' taboo words [[ItMakesSenseInContext make in-universe sense]] -- "magic" reminds them of their lost powers and "wing" and "feather" of the pegasi -- but it's unclear why exactly they're so terrified of saying or hearing [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext "mayonnaise"]].
* ArborealAbode: The unicorns of Bridlewood live in houses built directly within the trunks of the massive trees of their forest.
* BrandishmentBluff: When they encounter a group of Pegasi, the unicorns threaten to "zap" them with their non-existent magic.
* ChekhovsGun: The unicorns are very superstitious around certain words like "magic" and "mayonnaise", believing that they would cast "jinxies" that bring bad luck. If any of those forbidden words are said, the unicorns who hear it naturally go wide-eyed and perform a dance to ward off the "jinxie". At first, it just seems like another element to highlight the eccentricities of the unicorns, but this weakness later gets exploited by Hitch to escape Alphabittle and the Crystal Tearoom, rattling off a chain of forbidden words that forces every unicorn to perform the ritual and buy time for the Mane Five to run.
* CrystalLandscape: Bridlewood is littered with crystal formations growing out of the ground, which is the main reason why the Mane Five search there for the unicorn crystal there.
* TheEeyore: The vast majority of the unicorns shown wear beanies and have dark clothing and a general miserable attitude. They [[TookALevelInCheerfulness are shown to be much more happy and cheerful]] in later installments after they get their magic back though.
* {{Hipster}}:
** Two gloomy teenage unicorns greet each other with a listless, disaffected "Hey".
** The patrons of Alphabittle's tea shop have a stoic approach to everything and many knitted accessories.
* NoodleIncident: While the unicorns' fear for the other forbidden words make sense on some level with regard to their past and enmities with other Pony tribes, it is unknown what caused them to inexplicably fear 'mayonnaise' so much.
* OhMyGods: They swear by Equestria's moons.
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: At the end of the movie, [[spoiler:many unicorns are shown to be overjoyed, smiling and running around when their magic is restored]].
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:In the ''Winter Wishday'' special. It turns out their traditional Wishiehoof greeting of "Frosty Shivers" is actually an ancient spell that causes snow to fall. Each utterance makes the snowfall worse until all of Equestria is caught up in it.]]
* WeaksauceWeakness: Saying the forbidden words in their presence ("magic", "wing", "feather", and "mayonnaise") will cause them to start automatically doing the anti-jinx dance, which is a useful distraction if you need them to get out of your way.

[[folder:Alphabittle Blossomforth]]
[[quoteright:280:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alphabittle.png]]
->'''Debut:''' ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyANewGeneration''
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/PhilLaMarr (film), Creator/{{Andrew Jackson|Actor}} (series)

A highly-competitive and boastful unicorn tea shop owner who loves to entertain challenges for the items in his stash of treasures, as long as his opponents are willing to risk something of their own. After learning that he now holds the Unicorn Crystal, Sunny and her friends must beat him at one of his own games to get it.
----
* TheAce: While a boastful braggart, he is shown to actually be quite good at the games and challenges he poses to other ponies, judging from the shelves full of trinkets on display behind him. He won an opponent's entire crystal collection (including the Unicorn Crystal) by defeating him in a limbo contest, despite his greater size and girth, and is [[EstablishingCharacterMoment first shown]] beating another pony by solving a Rubik's Cube in ''seconds''. He also has Sunny on the ropes until the third and final round in ''Just Prance''. [[spoiler:He later admits to Misty that he started playing games with his customers as a way to honor her memory. Of the two, she was much better at thinking up fun stuff like this.]]
* {{Acrofatic}}: He is pretty nimble despite his stout frame, easily outdoing Sunny in the dancing game ''Just Prance'' until Sunny receives some advice from Pipp.
* AffectionateNickname: [[spoiler:Queen Haven calls him "Alphie" when the two begin seeing each other.]]
* AllThereInTheManual: The 2022 Annual reveals his last name as Blossomforth. It's used onscreen for the first time in the ''Winter Wishday'' special.
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: [[spoiler:After reuniting with his long-lost daughter Misty, he babies her because he sorely misses her ever since she got lost as a filly. Misty tries to grin and bear it, but she eventually tells him that she has long changed in the years they were separated. Alphabittle then realizes that he was dwelling in the past, and he arranges for her to move into the Crystal Brighthouse so she can be with her friends and build a life of her own.]]
* CoolOldGuy: After the film, Alphabittle softens into this. He retains his passion for games and puzzles and is implied to become fairly popular with foals. He also redecorates the Crystal Tea Room to make it a more inviting place to hang out.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: It's his own arrogance that causes him to lose his bet with Sunny. The ''Just Prance'' contest is supposed to be best two rounds out of three, but in his confidence, he tells Sunny that she only needs to win one. He wins the first two rounds easily with Sunny struggling to even understand the game, but she gets the hang of it and beats Alphabittle in the final round.
* InformedAttribute: In ''Make Your Mark'', several characters (including Alphabittle himself) refer to him as "grumpy". But he's usually upbeat and jovial whenever he appears onscreen.
* IWillWaitForYou: [[spoiler:He seldom leaves Bridlewood because he wants to be there when his missing daughter, Misty returns home.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's an arrogant braggart who is a SoreLoser and initially shares his kind's bigotry for the other two pony tribes. However, when persuaded that he can help reunite the tribes and return magic to Equestria he goes along with it, hoofing over the Unicorn Crystal without further objections. He also follows Izzy to Maretime Bay to bring her back home and is shown during the FinalBattle [[spoiler:getting a hoof glued down by a Splat-a-pult shot as he shields his armadillos from Sprout's war machine. Later, after magic returns and the tribes put aside their differences, he quickly warms up to one of the Earth pony colts approaching him curiously]].
* LargeAndInCharge: By far the largest pony seen in the movie and though he doesn't actually have a title, he is the de-facto leader of the unicorns.
* TheLeader: He's the closest thing to a figure of authority in Bridlewood.
* LovingAShadow: [[spoiler:After reuniting with his long-lost daughter Misty, he plans a day of fun that involves everything he remembers her liking, unaware that she has become a very different pony during the time they were apart.]]
* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:Chapter 5 of ''Make Your Mark'' reveals he is Misty's dad.]]
* MeaningfulName: He's the "alpha" (leader) of the Bridlewood unicorns.
* OfficialCouple: The ''Tell Your Tale'' episode "Mare Family, Mare Problems" reveals that he and [[spoiler:Queen Haven]] are dating.
* TheOneGuy: He is the only male leader amongst the three pony tribes with the other two being Phyllis Cloverleaf of the Earth Ponies and Queen Haven of the Pegasi.
* OutOfFocus: He suffers this after the movie, not getting a speaking appearance until the 18th ''Tell Your Tale'' episode.
* ReflexiveResponse: When Hitch yells all of the forbidden words, Alphabittle immediately starts doing the anti-jinx dance with the other unicorns, even though he knows Sunny's gang is going to steal the crystal and run for it. He is still doing the dance even as he sticks his head out the door and yells, "You'll pay for this!"
* SoreLoser: He has shades of this when Sunny actually does beat him in a game; he refuses to acknowledge her victory due to her being an earth pony and later claims he "won fair and square".
* TookALevelInKindness: He is much nicer in his subsequent appearances in ''Tell Your Tale''. In "On Your Cutie Marks" he is shown interacting with Queen Haven and Sunny perfectly fine, and he and Queen Haven help give Sunny advice on being a good leader. This is carried over to his appearances in ''Make Your Mark''.
* VocalEvolution: His voice in the series ''Tell Your Tale'' sounded unfocused and slightly higher due to Andrew Jackson trying to unconvincingly imitate Phil [=LaMarr=] from the film. ''Winter Wishday'' and onwards has Jackson far more polished in the role where he sounds more natural.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: [[spoiler:In the ''TYT'' short "Nightmare Night Market", he finds himself having to fix things when Misty and her friends are accidentally [[FountainOfYouth turned into foals]]. He briefly hesitates to give Misty the potion that will restore her, seeing that he has a chance to relive the years he was denied with her. But he ultimately chooses to return her to her true age.]]

[[folder:Onyx and Dapple]]
->'''Debut:''' ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyANewGeneration''
->'''Onyx voiced by''': Creator/LisaLinderSilver (film), Creator/AJBridel (series)

A pair of unicorn entertainers who frequent Alphabittle's tea shop. Onyx writes and performs poetry, while Dapple accompanies her on bongos.
----
* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: They both wear scarfs and Onyx also sports an ArtsyBeret.
* {{Beatnik}}: Onyx carries herself this way, dressing in a beret and attending a tea shop. The credits for ''A New Generation'' even refer to her as "Beatnik Unicorn".
* BluntNo: Onyx's response to Pipp inviting them to perform at Bridlewoodstock.
* ChekhovsGag: Onyx's poem regarding [[spoiler:the Troggles]]: "No cure to be found, past the red ruby". The heroes use this to uncover [[spoiler:the creatures' weakness]] for said gem which [[spoiler:saves the Bridlewoodstock musicians' voices from being stolen]].
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: To the Mane 5, as their annoyed/weirded-out expressions imply in "Winter Wishday" and "The Jinxie Games" when listening to Onyx's poetry. Some other unicorns also seem to find it annoying.
* ColdHam: Onyx never raises her tone above a dull roar, but she has gotten more expressive since the unicorns had their magic restored. [[https://www.derpibooru.org/images/2993157?q=onyx Watch]] her scene in ''Winter Wishday'' as she and Dapple express their reactions to the endless snowfall.
** In "The Jinxie Games" Onyx begins to open the Forest Critter Field Day contest with a speech on pain, metamorphosis, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and long division.]] All in her dry mellow tone. Jasper intercedes and takes the announcing duties from there.
* DeadpanSnarker: Onyx is established in her debut scene with a dry and unenthused tone, even during the "Just Prance" competition. Her appearance in ''Winter Wishday'' shows that she's snarky even on a good day, though not at all mean-spirited.
* GivenNameReveal: Pipp speaks Dapple's name for the first time in ''Bridlewoodstock''.
* HidingBehindYourBangs: Onyx's mane hangs over her right eye, obscuring it, to highlight her stoicism.
* NamedInTheSequel: Onyx was known only as "Beatnik Unicorn" at first, she would get an actual name in ''Tell Your Tale'', while Dapple's name was first used by Pipp in ''Make Your Mark.''
* OnlySaneMan: Or mare, to an extent. Onyx does not appear to join in the "rituals" to absolve jinxies, unlike Dapple and the rest. She's plenty weird in her [[RhymesOnADime own ways]], [[ZigzaggedTrope however]].
* RhymesOnADime: So far, Onyx's dialogue has all been in rhyme. It isn't until ''Winter Wishday'' that we hear her speak (relatively) normally.
* TheQuietOne: Usually Onyx leaves most of the talking to Dapple, otherwise she rarely speaks outside of her poems. Dapple usually expresses himself on his bongos but is a lot more talkative than Onyx.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: [[spoiler:The Troggles may very well have stolen all of Bridlewoodstock's guests' voices if Izzy hadn't recalled Onyx's warning poem about them earlier, hinting at their weakness for rubies.]]
* TheStoic: Onyx provides commentary for Sunny and Alphabittle's dance-off with very little energy or emotion. It appears to be a genuine trait even when the magic returns, as seen in "Winter Wishday", she still speaks in [[ColdHam a low, mellow tone]] even when happy (though nowhere near to the extent that Maud Pie was).
* ThoseTwoGuys: They are usually seen together as they appear to be co-performers.
* VocalEvolution: Onyx's voice was initially very raspy and somewhat high in the film. In "Winter Wishday", it has deepened significantly and the rasp has become more subtle.

[[folder:Elder Flower]]
->'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyMakeYourMarkS4E3TheJinxieGames The Jinxie Games]]" (cameo); "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyMakeYourMarkS5E4FatherOfTheBridlewood Father of the Bridlewood]]" (full appearance)

A storyteller who's the oldest unicorn in Bridlewood.
----
* AscendedExtra: After being referred to a handful of times by Izzy and making a brief appearance in "The Jinxie Games", Elder Flower receives some proper focus in "Father of the Bridlewood".
* AmbiguouslyRelated: Mentions her "great-great-great-great-auntie Moondancer" with their alleged knowledgeability fitting the G4 character (who had a sister). But it's unclear if it's the same Moondancer (many ponies have cross-generational versions, Moondancer being one to the G1 character) or if Elder Flower's credible given many of her claims are only half or allegorically true.
* AmbiguousSituation: She talks as if [[GeneticMemory her ancestors are within her]] and describes events as if they happened to her, not whoever told her the story. It's unclear whether this belief is just mild schizophrenia or if it has some validity given how inexplicable much of her knowledge is.
-->"All in a day's work existing with the knowledge of my unicorn ancestors! Especially great-great-great-great-auntie [[ContinuityNod Moondancer]]. She sure is a lot. ''(tilts head)'' Quit your yapping, I hear ya!"
* CoolOldLady: On top of her intellectual qualities, she's athletic enough that she places second in the Jinxie Games and younger ponies have difficulty keeping up with her during a tour. Even when Sunny and Zipp think their attempt to get information from her has failed, they have fun hanging out with her regardless.
* MrExposition: Some of her knowledge dates back to Twilight Sparkle's time. The heroes seek her out in the hope that she'll be able to tell them about Opaline.
* ShroudedInMyth: The version of Opaline's history she heard is an anthropomorphic JustSoStory about bats. She has no idea it relates to an actual pony (and neither do the protagonists).
* UnreliableExpositor: While a lot of her knowledge is inexplicably true, Izzy warns it's hard to pick out which of it is accurate. Notably Elder Flower states "Once, I attended a super fancy sparkly wedding, but all the ponies kept changing shapes...", which assuming she's referring to [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E26ACanterlotWeddingPart2 "A Canterlot Wedding"]] happened five generations before she claimed she was born.

[[folder:Violette Rainbow]]
->'''Debut:''' ''My Little Pony'' Issue #14
->'''Voiced by:''' Shazdeh Kapadia
Izzy's crafting student from Bridlewood.
----
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Violette has spent most of her life being shunned by her fellow unicorns due to the miscolored patches on her coat.
* BeYourself: Izzy ultimately teaches Violette to always be proud of who she is.
* CanonImmigrant: Debuting in the comics, she appears in the show's continuity in "Icy Prints".
* TheKlutz: She accidentally causes messes for other ponies during her stay in Maretime Bay, mostly by tripping over things.

!! Non-Ponies
[[folder:Troggles ('''UNMARKED SPOILERS''')]]
->'''Debut:''' ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyMakeYourMarkS4E1Bridlewoodstock Bridlewoodstock]]''

Mysterious spirits who reside in Bridlewood and only emerge during the "Lumi-Bloom".
----
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: In G1, the Troggles were creatures of flesh and blood. Here, they are referred to as spirits.
* IntangibleTheft: They have the ability to steal ponies' voices.
* {{Invisibility}}: Can become invisible at will.
* KryptoniteFactor: They can only be stopped by being made to eat rubies.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: They are small spirits with pig-like noses who can steal ponies' voices. They can only be repelled by getting them to feed on rubies.
* PigMan: Their forms are vaguely piglike.
[[/folder]]


[[folder:Breezies]]
->'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyMakeYourMarkS5E2FamilyTreesPartOne Family Trees Pt. 1]]"

A race of tiny pony-like creatures with insect wings. Thought to be a myth in modern Equestria, they are revealed to reside within the unicorns' "Wishing Tree".
----
* BiggerOnTheInside: Their Night Market is found within the Wishing Tree, but stretches far beyond the physical boundaries of the tree in all directions.
* TheBusCameBack: The Breezies' last major appearance was in a season 4 episode of ''Friendship is Magic''. Their return in Chapter Five of ''Make Your Mark'' brings them back into prominence.
* ClarkesThirdLaw: A group of Breezies become obsessed with Pipp's phone, believing it to be a form of magic they've never seen before.
* ItMayHelpYouOnYourQuest: They are prone to this.
** In "Family Trees" (Part One), one Breezie gives Misty a magic key that will take her to wherever her heart desires (but [[ItOnlyWorksOnce only works once]]).
** In "Mane Smelody", a Breezie gives Sunny a heart-shaped locket, telling her it had been waiting for a "special" and "hopeful" pony.
* MotorMouth: Breezies speak pony language, just at a rate that renders them unintelligible to ordinary ponies. Hitch can understand them thanks to his unique ability to understand all creatures, and Zipp quickly works around the problem by recording and playing back what they say on her phone.
