The owner and CEO of [=CanterLogic=], a high-tech company that specializes in protection gear from Unicorns and Pegasus.

!!!Police Station
[[folder:Sparky Sparkeroni]]
->'''Debut:''' ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyMakeYourMark''
->'''Vocalizations by:''' Creator/RobertTinkler

A baby dragon introduced in the ''Make Your Mark'' special. He hatches from an egg that Hitch finds on the beach.

* BrainyBaby:
** Despite acting like an infant most of the time, he's able to set up a series of ''Film/HomeAlone''-style traps when Misty tries to kidnap him in "Have You Seen This Dragon?".
** In "Roots of All Evil Pt. 2", Sparky has the presence of mind to [[spoiler:cure Spike's brainwashing when Opaline is distracted, and is able to wield the Dragonstone effectively to reverse her abuse of its magic]].
* BreakingOldTrends: He's the first time the series dragon character isn't a version of Spike.
* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Sparky is an actual baby dragon, unlike the previous dragon protagonist Spike who was merely treated like a baby because of his size, despite being around the same age as the Cutie Mark Crusaders and just as mature.
* DragonsAreDinosaurs: If his flashback in "Family Trees" is any indication, dragons are big, loud creatures who live (?) in a tropical-esque forest. The flashback is triggered by seeing a fossil of a dragon footprint.
* EvilDetectingBaby: He growls frequently at Misty when she and Izzy first meet, only to be dismissed by the enthusiastic unicorn. He also notices Opaline's magic surveillance mouse before anyone else and makes it his mission to hunt the critter down, despite the Brighthouse presently being filled with all manner of stampeding animals. He's also the first to notice the Troggles in "Bridlewoodstock". Notably, he is a lot friendlier with Misty in Chapter 4, even when she kidnaps him again, due to her showing signs of a HeelFaceTurn.
* {{Gasshole}}: Sparky often releases his fire breath by belching, and "Tell Your Tale" showcases the same extends to his backside at times, as Misty can unfortunately confirm.
* HappilyAdopted: Hitch gladly takes him in after he hatches, and Sparky is happy to have him as his "pony dragon dad".
* LivingMacGuffin: Opaline wants to use his magical fire to regain her powers, eventually succeeding at the end of Chapter 4.
* PersonalitySwap: His hiccups can cause two ponies' cutie marks and personalities to be switched, which happens to Sunny and Hitch in "The Cutie Mark Mix-Up".
* PintSizedPowerhouse: For a baby, he's stronger than you'd think. He easily chucks a trash can into the air, knocks over a painting easel, and can drag Hitch around in ''Tell Your Tale''.
* RandomizedTransformation: His dragon breath can turn objects into other random objects, even living creatures like butterflies, with little rhyme or reason. The transformation is reversed if the object is hit a second time. If Sparky can intentionally transform one thing into another, he's much too young to control it.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: All the Mane Five find him adorable.
* WingsDoNothing: He has a pair of wings, but their small size and his age mean they're no good for flying at the moment.

[[folder:Hitch's "squad"]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hitchs_squad.png]]
->'''Debut:''' ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyANewGeneration''

Two birds and a crab who tend to follow Hitch around on his sheriff's rounds.

* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: One of the birds wears a used sardine tin on his head like a hat.
* GivenNameReveal:
** The ''Tell Your Tale'' episode "A Home to Share" reveals the crab's name is "[=McSnipsalot=]".
** The sardine tin-wearing bird is revealed to be named "Kenneth" in the ''Make Your Mark'' special [[spoiler:after Hitch gains the ability to understand animals]].
** The "Roots of All Evil Part 1" episode reveals the other seagull's name to be Steven.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: In ''A New Generation'', [[spoiler:they start following Sprout's hateful rhetoric while Hitch is away. This lasts only until Hitch's return, whereupon they promptly return to his side.]]
* PintSizedPowerhouse: During the "Angry Mob" song, [[spoiler:they tip over the Maretime Bay trolley]]. In "Roots of All Evil Part 1", [[spoiler:they throw themselves at Opaline with enough force to knock her back through the portal where she came from.]]
* UndyingLoyalty: They'll follow Hitch no matter what, and act as his deputies around town. Even after joining Sprout's side in the movie, they immediately return to Hitch at first sight. In "Roots of All Evil Part 1", they refuse to leave Hitch despite him telling them to and [[spoiler:even throw themselves at Opaline to protect him.]]

!!!Mane Melody
[[folder:Jazz Hooves]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SamanthaBielanski
An earth pony who works at Mane Melody.

* ADayInTheLimelight: She's the focus of the ''TYT'' episodes "All That Jazz", "Baby Critters Club", and "Jazz Loves Rocky".
* BadlyBatteredBabysitter: In "Baby Critters Club", she is hired to look after the critters at the Brighthouse while the Mane Five are away. She spends most of the short running around and desperately trying to keep the critters under control.
* CompetitionFreak: In "Nightmare on Mane Street", she and Rocky get ''really'' competitive with each other over finding the Golden Pumpkin hidden somewhere in Maretime Bay.
* CreativeSterility: In "All That Jazz", she confesses that the hooficures she gives ponies are based on an online library of designs, which causes her to panic when she uses them all up. Izzy helps her to gain the creativity to make her own designs.
* MeaningfulName: She's a singer whose name references {{Jazz}} music.
* OfficialCouple: She and Rocky become this in the appropriately titled Tell Your Tale episode "Jazz Hearts Rocky".
* PromotedFangirl: As revealed in the Pippcast, she was a major fan of Pipp's music before getting her job at Mane Melody.
* SeriesContinuityError: In the Pippcast, she states she was a fan of Pipp since childhood despite the tribes being fearful/prejudiced against each other and having no contact in memory. While it would make sense that Jazz's exaggerating, the work never hints if that's the case.

[[folder:Rocky Riff]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JonathanTan
A pegasus who works at Mane Melody.

* AlliterativeName: '''R'''ocky '''R'''iff.
* CompetitionFreak: In "Nightmare on Mane Street", he and Jazz get ''really'' competitive with each other over finding the Golden Pumpkin hidden somewhere in Maretime Bay.
* HiddenDepths: "The Manesquerade Ball" shows him to be a fairly skilled DJ.
* MeaningfulName: His first name references the {{Rock}} music genre, while his surname is a nod to a ''guitar'' riff.
* OfficialCouple: He and Jazz become this in the appropriately titled Tell Your Tale episode, "Jazz Hearts Rocky".
* SatelliteCharacter: He never shows up without Jazz Hooves or them interacting at least as co-worker, contrasting Jazz who has appeared solo and even had focus episodes.

!!!Other Citizens
[[folder:Argyle Starshine]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/argyle_starshine.png]]
->'''Debut:''' ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyANewGeneration''
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MichaelMcKean (film), Creator/RobertTinkler (series)

Sunny's father, a researcher who studies ancient Equestria.

* BigGood: He's responsible for Sunny being who she is, having been a big proponent for friendship between the different kinds of ponies himself, and his legacy after his presumed [[KilledOffscreen death]] plays a huge role in bringing ponies together.
* TheCameo:
** He appears in a photograph with Sunny, Hitch, and Grandma Figgy while the elderly mare showcases her photo album to the Mane Five in ''Winter Wishday''.
** In "Cutie Blossom Bash", he appears in a flashback when Sunny explains how she got her cutie mark.
* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: He's the one who inspired and nurtured Sunny's dream of a united Equestria, and it's heavily implied after the TimeSkip in the opening act that he's dead.
* {{Foil}}: Argyle is one for Phyllis in terms of parenting. While Argyle teaches Sunny about friendship and encourages her to be friends with other creatures, Phyllis teaches Sprout to be fearful of the other pony races and sees befriending them as nonsense.
* GreaterScopeParagon: It was he who taught Sunny that all ponies can be friends, with the ''Tell Your Tale'' short "Starscout Code" revealing that he left a recording for Sunny encouraging her to bring all the tribes together.
* KilledOffscreen: While never outright said, it is heavily implied that Argyle died sometime during the TimeSkip from when Sunny was a filly to now. He doesn't appear in person for the rest of the film, and his glasses and brooch are set out on a table next to a framed photo of him. Sunny talks to a picture of him and herself by the front door before heading out for her Canterlogic protest; after it all goes wrong, she sits on a curb wishing he were there. Later in ''Starscout Code'' after Sunny finds a recording of her father in which he tells her about the ancient blanket artifacts hidden in Zephyr Heights and Bridlewood, how it will take Sunny's "whole family" to find the other pieces, Sunny points out how she's the only member of her family left. In ''Sunny Starscout's Book of Adventure'' and Issue #14 of [[ComicBook/MyLittlePony2022 the comics]], Sunny outright says her father has died.
* MementoMacGuffin: Provides two of these for Sunny.
** His journal is filled with his notes and maps, and she adds quite a bit to it as she grows up and always keeps it within easy reach (unless it's taken from her). The image of Twilight Sparkle's cutie mark on the cover is what ultimately leads Zipp to join her quest.
** When Sunny was a filly, he made a wind-up lamp that projected images of ponies all over her bedroom. [[spoiler:Sunny later discovers that it contains the third crystal needed to help restore magic to Equestria.]]
* ShutUpHannibal: Downplayed example, but when Phyllis Cloverleaf accuses him of brainwashing his daughter with his "nonsense", he retorts without raising his voice that it is called "research", and he leaves the brainwashing in Maretime Bay to her.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: While he's heavily implied to be dead after the TimeSkip, his research into Equestria's true history is why Sunny is such a big pony unification activist, and more directly his idea to have Sunny send out a sort of MessageInABottle (or, more accurately, a floating lantern) triggers a chain reaction of events that not only bring ponies back together but [[spoiler:restores magic to Equestria]].
* SugaryMalice: He accuses Phyllis of brainwashing the ponies of Maretime Bay with the same tone one might use to discuss the weather.

[[folder:Windy]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/windy_mym.png]]
->'''Debut:''' ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyANewGeneration'' (visual), "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyTellYourTaleZippsFlightSchool Zipp Gets Her Wings]]" (voice)
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AnaSani

A pegasus from Zephyr Heights who moves to Maretime Bay following the reunification of the three tribes.

* AbsurdPhobia: Daisies are apparently her greatest fear -- the mere sight of one is enough to get her to hide in a bush. Luckily for her, Izzy is able to help her overcome this.
* AscendedExtra: She only appeared in one shot in ''A New Generation'' before becoming a recurring character in ''Tell Your Tale'' and ''Make Your Mark''.
* CowardlyLion: In spite of being skittish enough to be scared of daisies, she [[spoiler:continued to try to help Posey even as the void expanded towards them and her own magic was glitching (so she could not fly out if she were to fall in)]].
* EarlyBirdCameo: She can be seen very briefly in ''A New Generation'' during Pipp's concert before getting a formal introduction in ''Tell Your Tale''.
* GivenNameReveal: Zipp casually drops her name in "Zipp's Flight School".
* OddFriendship: ''Mane Smelody'' reveals that she and Posey are best friends, despite the latter's constant complaints about pegasi.
* ScoutOut: She's a member of the Trail Trotters.

[[folder:Posey Bloom]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/posey_bloom_mym.png]]
->'''Debut:''' ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyMakeYourMark''
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KimberlyAnnTruong

An earth pony who lives in a cottage on the outskirts of Maretime Bay.

* AdaptationalJerkass: She's generally meaner and sassier than her G1 counterpart.
* ADayInTheLimelight: The ''Tell Your Tale'' short "Snow Pun Intended" revolves around her struggle to enjoy the snowfall.
* ButtMonkey: Her appearances often feature her experiencing some kind of misfortune, often related to magic. [[spoiler:This reaches its apex in "Nightmare on Mane Street" when Opaline steals her cutie mark.]]
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: While both she and Sprout are Earth Pony antagonists who oppose the unity of the three tribes in some manner, the way they go about it is noticeably different. While Sprout seemed at least partially in it for power, through his rapid rise to "Emperor", Posey never seeks any higher office and instead is mostly content to just complain instead of taking direct action. Posey also displays only minimal FantasticRacism and doesn't want to go to war with the other tribes, her main issue is with their usage of magic. [[spoiler:Unlike Sprout, Posey has a JerkassRealization and apologizes to the Mane Five at the end.]]
* DemotedToExtra: After her antagonistic role in the first episode of ''Make Your Mark'', Posey was relegated to background appearances and even in ''Tell Your Tale'', she started appearing much less frequently once Chapter 2 of the former premiered. The fifth chapter changes this around a little, giving her speaking roles in the final two episodes.
* DoesNotLikeMagic: Due to a belief that the unicorns and pegasi are irresponsible at best, and malicious at worse, she campaigns to have a BanOnMagic for Maretime Bay Day. [[spoiler:She changes her tune after gaining magic of her own and also being saved by Sunny's magic.]]
* GreenThumb: [[spoiler:When the earth ponies regain their magic, she's among the first to display it in the form of causing flowers to grow from the pavement.]]
* JerkassHasAPoint: Given how often her ButtMonkey status has to do with magical mishaps, it's hard to deny she has some legitimate points regarding magic being unsafe if used improperly. She also criticizes how unfair it is unicorns and pegasi got new powers from magic returning while earth ponies got nothing, which Hitch acknowledges and is shown when she loses a completion because pegasi flight gave them an unfair advantage.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She is often rather sassy and occasionally outright hostile towards others. [[spoiler: But she is still willing to apologise once she realises she went too far, and even asks Pipp to perform for Maretime Bay Day.]]
* OddFriendship: ''Mane Smelody'' reveals that she and Windy are best friends, despite her constant complaints about pegasi.
* TookALevelInKindness: After the events of the ''Make Your Mark'' special, [[spoiler:she realizes the errors of her ways and apologizes to everypony for her behavior, even asking Pipp to sing her new song she wrote for Maretime Bay Day and offering to sing along with her.]] However, [[spoiler: as seen in "Neighfever", she still has her jerkish moments.]]
* VillainyFreeVillain: She is the closest thing to a main antagonist in the Make Your Mark special, however, she never does anything outright villainous. She spends a lot of time making complaints about the use of magic in Maretime Bay, though many of those complaints are legitimate (such as pegasi crashing into other ponies and unicorns being clumsy with their magic) making it a case of JerkassHasAPoint. She also threatens to organize a boycott of Maretime Bay Day if magic is allowed to take place -- which is a valid method of protest against the problems she sees. [[spoiler: While she does contribute to the destabilisation of magic with her actions, this makes her an UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom at worst.]] Notably, she comes nowhere near Sprout's level of antagonism, as she doesn't even want pegasi and unicorns banned from Maretime Bay, only restricted from using their powers.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: The ''TYT'' short "Snow Pun Intended" shows her being terrified when she's flying in the Marestream.

->'''Debut:''' ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyANewGeneration'' (visual), "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyTellYourTaleNeighfever Neighfever]]" (speaking)
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SaraGarcia

An earth pony flower vendor.

* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: She wears a scarf around her neck.
* ADayInTheLimelight: After being a background character in the movie, she gets an episode centered around her ("Neighfever") in ''Tell Your Tale''.
* FlowersOfNature: She wears a flower in her mane, fitting her job as a florist.
* GreenThumb: [[spoiler:With some guidance from Sunny, she taps into the earth ponies' newly-gained power over plants, creating towering flowers. After this ends in disaster, she discovers that she can change the colors of her flowers by sneezing on them.]]
* HeroicBSOD: In "Neighfever". [[spoiler:First due to the earth ponies' newfound GreenThumb abilities essentially rendering her business unnecessary, then due to her attempts at that harnessing that power engulfing all of Maretime Bay in a cloud of pollen]].
* {{Irony}}: The ''Make Your Mark'' episode "Growing Pains" reveals that she's allergic to gardenias.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: She is horrified when [[spoiler:the giant plants she creates tip over, showering Maretime Day in a giant cloud of pollen]].
* TwitchyEye: She suffers this in "Neighfever" when nopony wants to buy her flowers.

[[folder:Rufus]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hoofdini.png]]
->'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyTellYourTaleNightmareRoomate Nightmare Roommate]]"
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JonathanTan (except [[Recap/MyLittlePonyTellYourTaleFoalMeOnce Foal Me Once]]), Creator/JJGerber (Foal Me Once)

An earth pony street magician who finds himself out of a market after true magic returns to the world.

* AllThereInTheScript: His name was first revealed in the credits of "Nightmare Roommate".
* CripplingOverspecialization: After magic returns, his tricks are considered obsolete. Izzy spends most of "One Trick Pony" trying to help him find a new job, but his habit of throwing his illusions into things just makes it harder.
* ADayInTheLimelight: "One Trick Pony" is about him trying to find his place after the return of magic made everypony lose interest in his magic tricks.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: He tries to impress Queen Haven by making her crown disappear via sleight of hand. Haven instead thinks he's trying to steal the crown, and calls him a thief.
* EarlyBirdCameo: He first appeared briefly in "Nightmare Roommate", in Hitch's holding cell.
* GreenThumb: [[spoiler:He displays the ability to both grow and direct vines, using them to save the falling Glory. He later uses this talent to assist with the backstage systems for Pipp's latest show.]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: In the ''TYT'' short "All That Jazz", he claims that any pony of style doesn't copy another. But when he sees the hooficure design Jazz Hooves made for Izzy, he asks for the exact same design.
* NoodleIncident: What he did to get himself arrested is never explained.
* StageNames: He goes by "Hoofdini" while performing.

[[folder:The Pippsqueaks]]
->'''Debut:''' ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyMakeYourMark''
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KaiaOz (Seashell), Creator/AthenaKarkanis (Glory), Creator/BahiaWatson (Peach Fizz)
A trio of fillies who idolize Pipp. Seashell is an earth pony, Glory a pegasus, and Peach Fizz a unicorn.
----
* DamselInDistress: In "One Trick Pony", Glory is knocked out of the sky, requiring somepony to save her.
* {{Fangirl}}: All three are this to Pipp, adoring her music and hanging on her every social media post. Once in a while, Pipp brings them in to help with a plan for this very reason.
* FreeRangeChildren: Their parents are never seen and they go everywhere on their own. In "Sisters Take Flight", they even went to Zephyr Heights for the royal parade seemingly without any parental supervision.
* GiverOfLameNames: In "Pippsqueaks Forever", Peach Fizz struggles to name her brand of lip glitter, awkwardly calling it "Unicorn-y Morning Breath".
* HeroicBystander: [[spoiler:In "Roots of All Evil - Part 2," Seashell begins to sing a song that Pipp had performed earlier and gets ponies all over Equestria to join in. That display of unity is what ultimately takes down Opaline.]]
* PintSizedPowerhouse: They show signs of this in "Portrait of a Princess," when Pipp and Zipp need help escaping the cave. [[spoiler:Glory and Peach Fizz respectively use wing-power and magic to move some of the good-sized rocks blocking the exit, while Seashell helps grow vines big enough to rip the others away.]]
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: The Pippsqueaks serve as this for [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicTheCutieMarkCrusaders The Cutie Mark Crusaders]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Grandma Figgy]]
->'''Debut:''' ''Recap/MyLittlePonyMakeYourMarkWinterWishday''
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/EllenRayHennessy
Hitch's grandmother, who lives in a cottage on the outskirts of Maretime Bay.
----
* TheCameo: She makes brief appearances in "The Cutie Blossom Bash" and "Roots of All Evil Part 2".
* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:She shows the Mane Five a storybook (''Fantastical Flurrytales of Wishiehoof''), which Zipp takes an interest in and borrows. This book becomes the key to figuring out what's behind the massive snowstorm engulfing Equestria.]] Figgy herself was alluded to in the finale of Chapter 2 where Hitch is muttering about making her a cake in his sleep.
* CoolOldLady: In ''Bridlewoodstock'', Hitch reveals that she knows Minty (lead singer of the Dreamlands) personally and used to bake for her.
* DontThinkFeel: When Sunny goes to her to learn how to make Hitch's favorite holiday treat in the TYT short "Foal Food", Figgy eschews the idea of simply providing her with the recipe and encourages Sunny to "Bake with your heart, not with your hooves."
* DotingGrandparent: Despite Hitch being an adult, Figgy is quick to show him lots of affection.
** Becomes "doting ''great''-grandparent" in "Cutie Blossom Bash," when she looks after Sparky while he's recovering from his run-in with Opaline and the rest of the gang is off in Zephyr Heights.
* GrannyClassic: An elderly mare who indulges in such activities as baking and knitting.
* InformedAttribute: Just before the Mane Five arrive at her cottage, Hitch warns them that she is very "particular" about Wishday. She quickly proves that she's just fine with changing things up a little (and tells the others that ''Hitch'' is actually the one who's particular about traditions).
* SupremeChef: Her Winter Wishday cookies are well-loved by the Mane Five, and her key lime pie is good enough to get Minty to reunite the Dreamlands.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Dreamlands]]
->'''Debut:''' ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyMakeYourMarkS4E1Bridlewoodstock Bridlewoodstock]]''

A trio of Earth pony singers, who used to be the most popular band in Maretime Bay. Sunny and Hitch convince them to come out of retirement to be part of the Bridlewoodstock festival. They are Minty, Snuzzle and Bluebelle.
----
* ThePerilsOfBeingTheBest: They ask not to be the festival's headliner act because it would place a lot of pressure on them.
* PuttingTheBandBackTogether: Downplayed; the Dreamlands have long since broken up by the time of the special. While Sunny and Hitch are able to convince them to reunite for the festival easily enough, the group have trouble getting back in synch, and fear that they no longer have what it takes to play in the modern world.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Comet]]
->'''Debut:''' ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyMakeYourMarkS6E4SecretsOfStarlight Secrets of Starlight]]''
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/CoryDoran

An enthusiastic but clumsy Auroricorn who secretly dreams of seeing the world outside of his village.
----
* BizarreTasteInFood: His favorite kind of cocoa is ''frozen''.
* ChekhovsGun: His clumsiness ends up [[spoiler:reminding everypony of the healing properties of the snow in Starlight Ridge, and how it can be used to break Allura's control over the Auroricorns]].
* TheKlutz: By his own self admission, his hooves always have a habit of not being able to catch up with his head.
* SixthRanger: [[spoiler:Well, okay, ''seventh'' ranger technically, but once Sunny and her friends are about to leave Starlight Ridge, he suddenly decides to speak up about wanting to go back with them as he wants to be able to explore more of the world outside of his village now that Allura has been defeated, and he can be seen joining the others in the Brighthouse during the very last scene on the special.]]
* SupremeChef: He's Starlight Ridge's "cocoa specialist", whipping up multiple unusual varieties for ponies to choose from.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:Despite joining the Mane Six in Maretime Bay, Comet hasn't appeared so far in the second season of ''Tell Your Tale''.]]

* AllThereInTheScript: The film's dialogue only refers to him as Sprout. His second name -- Cloverleaf -- is given in the toyline and some other supplementary material.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: He resents Hitch for being better looking and more well-liked by the townsponies than he is.
* AngryEyebrows: Most of the early film has him moping about with a deadpan expression nicely accented by his brows.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Sprout is a bully, a coward, and an idiot -- one who resents being under the shadow of his more competent, heroic, and popular superior Sheriff Hitch. But no sooner is Sprout made temporary sheriff of Maretime Bay than he quickly becomes DrunkWithPower, taking over the town as a rabble-rousing dictator and having the workers at Canterlogic build a giant war machine in preparation for a conflict with their Unicorn and Pegasi 'enemies', becoming a serious threat and the final obstacle standing in the way of the heroes' quest to bring back magic to Equestria, quite literally piloting a jury-rigged giant war machine against the heroes at the climax of the film.
* BigotWithABadge: He's an already prejudiced town policeman, but we only get to see how bigoted he truly is once he gets appointed Sheriff.
* TheBusCameBack: He's absent for the ''Make Your Mark'' special, but returns for an episode in Chapter 2 where he's [[KarmaHoudiniWarranty doing community service]]. He also plays a supporting role in the Chapter 4 episode "Top Remodel".
* ButtMonkey: His idiocy and incompetence cause him to keep embarrassing himself, and this doesn't change even when he becomes the film's main antagonist.
* TheCameo:
** His face is [[FreezeFrameBonus briefly]] seen on a wanted poster in the ''Tell Your Tale'' shorts "Nightmare Roommate" and "Foal Me Once".
** He's seen briefly at the start of ''Winter Wishday'' where he's seen decorating the town hall with two others. Perhaps he finally made some real friends?
* CorruptedCharacterCopy: Sprout superficially resembles Big Macintosh from the previous generation, as an earth pony with a red coat, light brown mane, and green eyes. Unlike the mature, hardworking, and shy Big Mac, however, Sprout is bad-tempered, lazy, and likes the sound of his own voice.
* DemotedToExtra: Ever since the movie, he mainly made cameo and background appearances and only occasionally returned for some supporting roles in ''Make Your Mark'' and has yet to make a single appearance in ''Tell Your Tale''.
* DramaticIrony: ''Make Your Mark'' reveals he has a very strong magical ability with GreenThumb magic, despite his earlier crusade against the other pony species having it.
* DirtyCop: Deputy sheriff of Maretime Bay, and a corrupt idiot.
* DirtyCoward: Would rather run and laze about than face any (perceived) real danger. He literally puts himself in one of his mom's Unicorn traps just to avoid having to follow Hitch in chasing after Sunny and Izzy, runs away to 'get reinforcements' after Izzy comes out and makes him believe she is reading his mind (she isn't) during the standoff at the lighthouse, and later in the film messes up his own desk ''right in front of Hitch'' to excuse himself from following him to track them down by claiming he needs to 'tidy up' his own space. The only time he doesn't display any cowardice is when he is having a [[DrunkWithPower power-trip]] and [[spoiler:piloting a giant war machine against the perceived threat]].
* DisappearedDad: His father is never seen or mentioned.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Sprout is a nobody who suddenly becomes quite dangerous during a (perceived) crisis by rousing the fear, anger, and hatred of those around him for those not of their kind, uses his given (temporary) authority to establish a dictatorship and has his subordinates build weapons in preparation for a war with those others they fear and hate out of paranoia that their 'enemies' are plotting to destroy them all, all the while abusing his authority and being an absolute egomaniac. This mirrors the rise to power of many real-life dictators. More specifically, Sprout's usage of nationalistic rhetoric and the fact that he was brought into power by business to quell public dissent parallels the Marxist reading of the rise of fascism (due to their broader anti-capitalist beliefs, communists tend to emphasize capitalist support of fascist leaders and portray them as either puppets of the rich, or monsters created by them that later went rogue).
* DramaticallyMissingThePoint:
** When Queen Haven tries to tell him the pegasi and unicorns aren't looking for a fight, Sprout replies that he's not going to accept their "surrender".
** Similarly, when he's told that the unicorns and pegasi don't even have any magic, his response is to say that now it's gonna be so much easier to take them out.
* DrunkWithPower: Less than a few days substituting Hitch as the town's sheriff while he goes after Sunny and Izzy and he's already gone full-blown dictator, complete with an earth pony-style generalissimo uniform and cap.
* EasilyForgiven: In "Growing Pains", Sunny and Hitch have no problem engaging in conversation with him. While they find him exasperating, they clearly hold no ill will toward him. Given he's stuck doing community service, they presumably feel he's being punished appropriately and have no need to pile on.
* TheEmperor: Sprout flat-out declares himself this for Maretime Bay as his [[DrunkWithPower power-trip]] descents into full-blown egomania. His reign naturally doesn't last.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Even at [[DrunkWithPower his worst]], Sprout still loves his mother, desperately seeking her approval and driving his machine away from Phyllis when she gets in the way, both of which cause what HeelRealization he has. He is last seen asking his mom sincerely whether or not he was a good sheriff and was left annoyed and despondent when his mother [[LookBehindYou avoids the question]].
* EvilCounterpart: He's Hitch, albeit without his bravery, tolerance, or morals.
* EvilEyebrows: It may be his color scheme that makes them stand out and it's never commented on in-universe, but his eyebrows appear much more prominent than Hitch's and most other stallions in the G5 series, even when he was small. And he is the final villain of the movie.
* EvilLaugh: He gives off a few of them when piloting his giant mech and using it to attack Sunny and her friends at her lighthouse.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: In the opening AMinorKidroduction, as a young Sprout goes home with his mother and Phyllis complains about Sunny's father and his beliefs of inter-tribal unity, little Sprout promises that when he grows up, he would become sheriff and make sure to "keep everypony in line." This hints at his transformation into a rabble-rousing dictator when Hitch leaves him temporarily in charge and he lets his new authority go to his head.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: "Top Remodel" reveals that, even after dropping his xenophobia, he is still the same obnoxious, lazy jerk he always was and the Mane 5 only tolerate him at best.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: From a bigoted, cowardly and idiotic deputy to a rabblerousing, egomaniacal and paranoid [[spoiler:dictator]] within ''days'' of being made temporary sheriff of Maretime Bay.
* TheGeneralissimo: He starts dressing like one after he comes DrunkWithPower, and also acting like one by enforcing strict "no non-earth pony" laws.
* GreenAndMean: His machinations are associated with a bright green color like his eyes.
* GreenEyedMonster: Part of the reason why he becomes so power-hungry is out of jealousy towards Hitch, whom he believes is more attractive and well-respected than he is.
* HeelRealization: After his mother turns on him due to taking her racist rhetoric way too far, he's shown to be as remorseful as the rest of the earth ponies for their actions and dejectedly questions if he was a good sheriff.
* HeroStoleMyBike: Sprout takes a kid's skateboard during his attempt to pursue Sunny to the Canter Logic factory.
* HumongousMecha: He has Canterlogic build the ultimate "anti-unicorn/pegasus' defense system in the form of a giant jury-rigged war machine in the likeliness of an enormous earth pony which he pilots against the heroes and the unicorns and Pegasi that came with them at the climax of the film. He names it "Sprouticous Maximus", [[ItsAllAboutMe after himself]].
* {{Hypocrite}}:
** He complains to his mother about Hitch going solo in his hunt for Sunny and Izzy, despite the fact that he had done everything he could to weasel his way out of joining Hitch.
** Despite his own cowardice, he expresses annoyance when the earth ponies flee rather than fight the unicorns and pegasi.
* InsufferableImbecile: He is a bigoted and cowardly idiot right from the start and [[FromNobodyToNightmare he only gets worse from there]].
* IRejectYourReality: He buys wholeheartedly into the racism and xenophobia that his mother tells him. Even after Sunny and Hitch tell Sprout that non-earth-pony races aren't a threat to Maritime Bay, Sprout won't listen. He takes it so far that even his mother starts thinking he's overdoing it, but Sprout still refuses to see reason. It gets to the point that once he's in charge, Sprout immediately starts setting draconian anti-non-earth-pony laws, building war machines against his perceived "enemies", and intends to destroy Sunny's lighthouse to stop her from restoring the magic of the non-earth-pony races.
* ItsAllAboutMe:
** Sprout starts off as a cowardly idiot who's always in the shadows of his much braver and more competent superior Sheriff Hitch, but once he gets to substitute for Hitch he turns into a grade-A egomaniac who thinks everypony should just bow to his incredible awesomeness and do what he wants. By the time Sunny and Hitch return to Maretime Bay, he's even started naming laws and [[spoiler:a giant robot]] after himself.
** In "Top Remodel", he is insistent that the now-defunct [=CanterLogic=] building still belongs to his family, and by extension, him.
* IWantMyMommy: When [[spoiler:his cutie mark is taken away from him through Opaline's tree in Maretime Bay]], he cries out to his mom to bring it back.
* {{Jerkass}}:
** While chasing Sunny, he grabs a random earth pony's food and drink and eats it.
** A flashback in "Cutie Blossom Bash" shows him refusing to let a filly play with him and his colt friends for no reason other than [[GirlsHaveCooties she was a filly]].
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty:
** ''Tell Your Tale'' implies karma caught up with him. His face can seen on a wanted poster in both the episodes "Nightmare Roomate" and "Foal Me Once". In the latter episode, Hitch mentions he works on his own and needs a new deputy implying Hitch fired Sprout due to his actions in the movie.
** In Chapter 2 of ''Make Your Mark'', he's been reduced to community service.
* LaughablyEvil: While he's the main antagonist, Sprout's actions are also played for comedy.
** Early on, Sprout has a tendency of running into doors or having doors slam on him.
** He's a DirtyCoward that hides in a unicorn trap to avoid having to chase after Izzy. When Hitch and Sprout track down Izzy and Sunny, he wears a hat that supposedly blocks unicorn mind control. And when Izzy comes outside (despite [[GenkiGirl being happy and friendly]]), he runs away, citing that he needs to find backup.
** After Sprout becomes DrunkWithPower and [[spoiler:dresses as TheGeneralissimo]], he still needs a raised step to reach a microphone. And when a flag with his face drops down from above, it completely covers him, necessitating him to squirm his way out from underneath it and ruining his big moment.
** The first thing he does when he gets into and activates his [[spoiler:giant war machine]]? Pull a wire and ''honk'' it like he's a glorified truck driver.
* LethallyStupid: Part of the reason Sprout is as dangerous as he is is that he's an idiot who doesn't think his actions through once he gets enough power to actually be a threat.
* MeaningfulName: A sprout is a plant that has begun to grow, similar to how Sprout has [[ManChild a lot of growing up to do]].
* MommasBoy: Sprout doesn't have one original thought in his head that wasn't put there by his mother and her prejudice. He's also shown to constantly crave her approval for his actions. Even as an adult, he refers to her as "Mommy" as a way of showing how immature he is.
* MoralMyopia: Sprout has grown to dislike Hitch for all his success and prowess, yet he himself seems lost on the fact that his cowardice, laziness, and inability to stop relying on his mother are the main likely culprits to why he can't measure up.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: With his quasi-military position, his greyish dress uniform with a CommissarCap, ChestOfMedals, and SinisterShades, and the fact that he was brought into power by business, he's a very clear UsefulNotes/AugustoPinochet parody. Even Sprout's very nature and background follows Pinochet's in a way; Pinochet was a supposedly loyal officer trusted by then-President Salvador Allende, who found himself drawn into the anti-Allende coup at the last minute. Once Pinochet got a taste of power as part of the military junta, it went straight to his head and he swept aside the junta to establish a brutal autocracy under him alone. Sprout appears to be a loyal subordinate trusted by Hitch, but quickly establishes himself as an all-powerful dictator within days, and eventually fights Hitch and his friends.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: During the first half of the movie, he's a petulant thug and at worst a nuisance to the heroes. Then Hitch makes the mistake of leaving him in charge of Maretime Bay in his absence, and he swiftly [[DrunkWithPower declares himself an 'emperor']], constructs a giant robot, and nearly kills Sunny.
* PsychopathicManchild: He combines a pathological urge for power and acceptance with deep insecurity and emotional dependence on his own mother.
* PuttingOnTheReich: Once he becomes the leader of Maretime Bay, he starts wearing a CommissarCap and cape, makes speeches from a podium with a giant banner behind him, makes his followers march in single files, and his politics are based entirely on racial prejudices.
* RabbleRouser: He quickly rouses the earth ponies of Maretime Bay with an AngryMobSong against the unicorns and pegasi when he steps up to become temporary sheriff.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: His main body coat is red, he starts wearing a black sheriff vest in his next scene after the Angry Mob song, [[EvilEyebrows plus his huge eyebrows]], and turns out to be the villain of the movie after his mother [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone realizes he's going too far]].
* TheResenter: He has always resented Hitch for being more good-looking, more heroic, and more competent than he is (and for gaining the position of sheriff that Sprout himself dreamed of attaining in his youth), and wastes no time plastering Hitch's images and pictures with his own visage when he takes over as sheriff. Hitch for his part [[UnknownRival doesn't even seem to be aware that Sprout is jealous of him]].
* SchoolyardBullyAllGrownUp: AMinorKidroduction shows colt Sprout taking over Sunny's game and ignoring her protests. Fast forward to adulthood, and nothing has changed.
* SmallNameBigEgo: He thinks highly of himself despite his general lack of skill or competence.
* StarterVillain: He's the first major antagonist of G5 but in terms of the overall plot of media following the movie, he hasn't had any major impact since being demoted to mostly small cameos.
* SubParSupremacist: Speaks about the glories of earth ponies, but is himself an infantile, lazy, and weak idiot.
* TookALevelInKindness: He makes several appearances in the series as a background character but doesn't demonstrate any of his negative traits, except boasting, and while his out-of-control Earth pony magic did create problems, he clearly did not intend to cause any harm.
