History Characters / MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017

* WouldHitAGirl: [[spoiler:He has no problem using Twilight for target practice [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown after having his staff absorb her powers]] and eventually trying to blast both her and [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness Tempest]] to kingdom come. He also would've turned the Mane Six into stone if not for Tempest's HeroicSacrifice. In the Prequel comics, he puts Celaeno in a pretty nasty choke hold after she manages to let Capper and Chummer escape.]]

* AmbiguousSpecies: Unlike most of the characters to appear in the story, it's unclear what her species is, though she's clearly some kind of bird. Fans have taken to calling her [[HarpingOnAboutHarpies a harpy]] while some promotional works claimed that she was a parrot. Issue #100 of the comic confirms that the latter is true.

* NearVillainVictory: He managed to gain the power he wanted and nearly destroyed all of Equestria with his created storm. He only lost due to the Mane Five ramming into him with Pinkie's giant cannon (which was a lucky shot) and [[spoiler:Tempest's MistreatmentInducedBetrayal]] later on.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:Tempest Shadow tackles him while being effected by the Obsidian Orb he threw at her, causing it to turn him to stone and send him plummeting to the ground far below, where he [[LiterallyShatteredLives shatters to bits on impact.]]]]

* FinalBoss: He's the final foe in the film the Mane Six have to stop after Tempest almost outlives his usefulness.

* AllForNothing: Because of his limited knowledge on how to use the Alicorn magic in his staff, his hopes of subjugating the whole world are dashed when his staff is taken fro him by the Mane Six and he is killed shortly after.

* CombatPragmatist: H

* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler:When the captured Twilight is brought back to Canterlot, she sees Songbird in a cage, sadly singing the lyrics to "Rainbow" until a Storm Guard hits the bars of her cage, forcing her to be quiet. Songbird then shares a sad look with Twilight. Even with her bangs, you can tell Songbird is in as much despair as Twilight is.]]

* DealWithTheDevil: Tempest meets the Storm King when she fails to find a place to belong or a way to restore her horn back to full, and he capitalizes on that fact to invade Equestria for Alicorn magic with a pony on the inside, promising to give her both wishes. In truth, whether he actually could or could not actually restore Tempest’s horn, he was never intending to fulfil his end of the bargain and would dispose of her (though possibly to prevent a Strife 2.0) as soon as he gets enough magic to outmatch her.

* OrcusOnHisThrone: He doesn't physically appear until the final act and he only becomes an active threat [[spoiler:after he steals the magic of the Princesses]].

* PragmaticVillainy:

* AGodAmI: In the prequel comic, he proclaims himself a force of nature that is greater than any living creature.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: [[spoiler:Subverted. Given their relative feats, Tempest Shadow is almost certainly stronger than him and he's never shown conclusively to be more powerful than his mooks. It's likely part of why he's so intent on acquiring a literal BiggerStick.]]

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: In ''Literature/TheStormyRoadToCanterlot'', she defeated [[spoiler:Tempest Shadow, perhaps the most skilled fighter in the series]] in a one-on-one fight.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Don't let the GenkiGirl stuff fool you: she's ''very'' capable of kicking tail. [[spoiler:Her contribution to the FinalBattle includes her throwing around Storm King's {{Mook}}s who are considerably larger than herself.]]

* IllNeverTellYouWhatImTellingYou: When she's explaining their history to the Mane Six and Spike, her mom interrupts her and forbids her from telling them anymore. She then continues the story, saying if she ''could'' tell them.

* OhCrap: [[spoiler:She gets one when she is reunited with her mom at the party, and is told that she is "''so'' grounded."]]

* YouAreGrounded: [[spoiler:She arrives to help the Mane Five despite knowing she's going to get ''so'' grounded for disobeying her mom. She ends up being correct, as Queen Novo immediately grounds her once they're reunited.]]

* ContraltoOfDanger: In contrast to the main characters, she has a deep, intimidating voice.

* ObviouslyEvil: [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver Red and black and purple color patterns?]] Check. [[GoodScarsEvilScars Scarred face]] and broken horn? Check. [[ContraltoOfDanger Deep intimidating voice?]] Check. [[PerpetualFrowner Serious and stoic personality?]] Check.

* ContraltoOfDanger: Much like Tempest, she has quite a deep female voice -- courtesy of Creator/ZoeSaldana.

* VagueAge: Her mannerisms seem to imply that she's at least a few years older than Twilight Sparkle and the Mane Six, which places her somewhere close to Cadance and Shining Armor's ages.

* AlluringAnglerfish: The forward-facing lock of her mane glows, much like an anglerfish's lure.

* AintTooProudToBeg: Not in the movie proper, but in it's comic adaptation, the Storm King tries to get Tempest to not turn him into stone with her by frantically telling her he changed his mind about breaking their agreement (not that it works).

** In the prequel comic, the Storm King outright tells Strife that he doesn't see him or his army as friends. He seemed to have no qualms about saying it to Strife's face (which may have been a cataclyst of his betrayal). Then after Strife's betrayal, the King appoints Grubber as his replacement only because he's too cowardly and weak to even attempt to cross him (not to mention, that his way of promoting Grubber was to angrily grab him, insult him, and then toss him down).

* TheChick: Lix, by virtue of being the only female besides [[TheLeader Celaeno]] and a caring, motherly presence.

* RiddleForTheAges: She is [[TwentyFourHourArmor never seen without her armor]] (except in the flashback of her as young filly, and in there, she is still a blank flank), so her cutie mark is unknown.

* RiddleForTheAges: She is [[TwentyFourHourArmor never seen without her armor,]] (except in the flashback of her as young filly, and in there she is still a blank flank) so her cutie mark is unknown.
