| 6 | ->'''Debut:''' ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTVSpecials Rescue at Midnight Castle]]'' |
| 7 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Bettina Bush |
| 8 | |
| 9 | The primary human protagonist, having been in the role in both the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTVSpecials'' and ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie1986'' before making the trip to the show. Megan is a farm girl who was accidentally recruited by an overeager Pegasus named Firefly to fight the monstrous Tirac, and regularly returns to Pony Land to help her equine friends. |
| 10 | ---- |
| 11 | * ActionGirl: Her ''literal'' first action in Ponyland is attempting to hammerfist a dragon. |
| 12 | * AdaptationalBadass: Her toy version is just a cute little girl in a dress, but cartoon Megan is older and gets into action. |
| 13 | * AllThereInTheScript: The toyline that featured her only listed her as "Megan". The shows and movies would add her surname "Williams". |
| 14 | * BadassNormal: She fights a dragon off, empty handed, in her initial appearance, and assertively negotiates with a troll while he's trying to drop her off a cliff. |
| 15 | * CombatPragmatist: She kind of has to be, given her opposition and BadassNormal status. Tricking a giant crab into losing his balance, blinding the [[PhysicalGod nigh-omnipotent]] Lavan for a few precious seconds by dropping a drape on his head... |
| 16 | * DeadpanSnarker: Briefly, though you'd probably snark too if a pink pegasus picked you out of the blue and treated you like TheChosenOne just because you said you could ride horses. |
| 17 | * FarmBoy: She lives at a ranch. |
| 18 | * GirlinessUpgrade: Sort of. Compared to the pilot she's more feminine and motherly, also the leader of the group. Her appearance is the major change, as it changed from reasonable clothes and colors, to frilly clothes and bright colors. |
| 19 | * GuileHero: Is quite willing to trick and play dirty against the world threatening calamities she frequently helps fight. |
| 20 | * TheHero: When she appears, she qualifies as she’s the main wielder of the Rainbow of Light and the one who keeps the ponies going when spirits are down. |
| 21 | * IdealHero: She’s kind, smart, motherly and friendly. |
| 22 | * KiddyCoveralls: Upon her GirlinessUpgrade, she goes from wearing a western-style vest and jeans to frilly overalls with a heart |
| 23 | * NervesOfSteel: Despite all the crazy situations she ends up in, she always keeps a level head. One moment that stands out is when Queen Bumble's army has her at stinger point and she doesn't so much as bat an eye. |
| 24 | * PluckyGirl: Giving up just isn’t in her blood. |
| 25 | * TeamMom: Maybe it's just because she's the only one around most of the time who has thumbs... |
| 26 | * TokenHuman: Being in a world full of sapient, talking ponies, she stands out due to being a human. |
| 27 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The tomboy to Molly's {{Moe}} girly girl |
| 28 | * TomboyishPonytail: She wears a long ponytail behind her head, and she regularly visits the ''Pony'' world to help save her Equine friends from multiple villains. |
| 29 | * VagueAge: While she generally appears to be a preteen -- old enough to be emotionally mature and independent, but not yet a teenager -- her actual age is never given. |
| 30 | * VillainKiller: She kills Tirac, Squirk and Crank, giving her the highest kill count of the heroes. |

| 36 | -> '''Voiced by:''' Keri Houlihan |
| 37 | |
| 38 | Megan's little sister and the youngest of the farmkids. Due to their similar age, she gets on best with the Baby Ponies (and, to a lesser extent, the more childish adult ponies). |
| 39 | ---- |
| 40 | * AllThereInTheScript: The toyline that featured her only listed her as "Molly". The shows and movies would add her surname "Williams". |
| 41 | * AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Especially to Danny, since she and Megan get along fine. |
| 42 | * TheCutie: She's so, so very cute... |
| 43 | * GirlishPigtails: In contrast to her sister's TomboyishPonytail to show that Molly is younger and girlier. |
| 44 | * KiddyCoveralls: The youngest of the Williams siblings and the one wearing overalls. |
| 45 | * PinkMeansFeminine: She wears pink hair ribbons ''and'' pink overalls. |
| 46 | * PutOnABus: The four-parter "The Magic Coins" marks her last appearance. |
| 47 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: If Molly had her hair in a single TomboyishPonytail, she'd look like a borderline shrunk version of her older sister. |
| 48 | * TeamMom: To the younger ponies. |
| 49 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The girly-girl to Megan's TeamMom Tomboy |
| 50 | * VagueAge: She appears to be the youngest of her siblings, but her age range isn't otherwise implied or shown outside of "young child". |

| 62 | * FieryRedhead: He’s got quite the spirit and his hair is red (despite his sisters both being blonde). |
| 63 | * HotBlooded: He’s got a lot of passion. |
| 64 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Sometimes Danny teases his siblings and the ponies. However he comforted Spike when he felt like he didn't belong, and he stood up for Wind Whistler when the other ponies bullied her. |
| 65 | * TheOneGuy: He and Spike are the two boys much of the time. |
| 66 | * ToylessToylineCharacter: He never had a toy and isn't from the toys. |
| 67 | * VagueAge: He is never given a specific age in the show, although his appearance, behavior and level of maturity, combined with the apparent age of his siblings, mostly imply an older child but still years away from being a teenager. |
| 68 | * VolleyingInsults: He and Molly tend to get into arguments like this, leaving Megan to break them up. |
| 69 | * YouthfulFreckles: He's the only one of his siblings to have freckles, which denote his youthfulness. |

| 155 | * EmoKid: She has qualities of this, given her pessimism and low self-esteem. |
| 156 | * {{Foil}}: To Gusty. Shady is very pessimistic, timid, and clumsy, while Gusty is confident, brave, and athletic. These differences are highlighted in "Mish Mash Melee", where the frazzits reverse their personalities and they end up having each other's normal mannerisms. |
| 157 | * IJustWantToBeSpecial: In "The Glass Princess", she's particularly depressed about her lack of magical tricks, flight, or useful skills, and wishes to have something that makes her special as well. |

| 168 | * TheVoiceless: She doesn't have any speaking lines in the cartoon. The out-of-universe reason is because her voice actress from the second special and the movie didn't return and nobody replaced her. |

| 298 | |
| 299 | The smartest and most logic-driven of the ponies, Wind Whistler's intelligence is useful, but she has problems with alienating her more emotion-driven friends. |
| 300 | ---- |
| 301 | * AscendedExtra: In the toyline, she's just another pegasus equivalent in personality to North Star, Lofty, etc. The TV show gives her leading roles in the movie and, later, in numerous episodes, and develops her into the show's deepest and most complex character. |
| 302 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: She has a pink mane and tail to accompany her pink eyes. |
| 303 | * DependingOnTheWriter: The most notable instance among the reoccurring ponies. In the toys and British comics, she's TheDitz; in the animated series, she plays TheSpock to Fizzy's ditz. |
| 304 | * DidYouThinkICantFeel: She suffers from this when the other ponies accuse her of being unfeeling for her usual stoicism during "Crunch the Rockdog" when she favors strategy and logic over acting rashly; while she doesn't readily show it, their accusations hurt her deeply. |
| 305 | * FakeDefector: She pretends to betray the other ponies to Crunch and to sympathize with his ruthlessness and lack of empathy, in order to work up to a pretense of offering him Megan as a victim in order to let the latter get close enough to use the Hearstone on him. |
| 306 | * NotSoStoic: In "Crunch the Rockdog", she's shown to feel some bitterness about having a harder time fitting in with the rest of her friends, who keep their distance from her due perceiving her as emotionless and cold. |
| 307 | * SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: She speaks in a very wordy and loquacious manner to convey her intelligence, which makes it hard for other ponies to understand her at times. |
| 308 | * TheSmartGirl: She's the smartest and most rational pony in the cast, and the likeliest one to at least try to think her way around problems. |
| 309 | * TheSpock: She values rational thought and logical action over impulsiveness and emotion. Since the rest of the herd is more passionate by nature, they don't agree with her too much. This contrasts her toyline and British comic incarnation, who is TheDitz. |
| 310 | * SpockSpeak: She tends to speak in a very technical and verbose manner, describing even simple matters in very complex and technically informative ways that nonetheless often require the others to ask her to repeat herself in simpler terms. |
| 311 | * TeamMom: When Megan isn't available, she shares this role with Magic Star, though she's not as good at it due to her personality clashing with the other ponies'. |
| 312 | * ThisIsNoTimeToPanic: In the movie, when the killer trees in the Shadow Forest start attacking, she initially advises against panicking. She's then nearly speared by thrown logs and amends herself to say the ''now'' they can panic. |
| 313 | * WhenSheSmiles: She is usually pretty serious and reserved, but whenever she does smile it always looks cute. |

| 339 | * CatchPhrase: ''"Well, gosh."'' |
| 340 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Fizzy is really one of the weirdest ponies in the valley. |
| 341 | * TheDitz: She's the goofiest and most absent-minded of all the ponies. |
| 342 | * GirlyGirl: In a franchise known for being female-dominant where even minor characters are more likely to be female than male, she qualifies. Fizzy manages to be the girliest of them all. |
| 343 | * HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Her bubble magic doesn't sound like much, but they're surprisingly versatile and consistently useful, as they're often a quick and convenient way of levitating objects, levitating people, and providing impromptu diving gear. |
| 344 | * PlayingWithFire: In the UK comics, she prefers fireworks over bubbles. |
| 345 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The flighty and scatterbrained girly girl to the more practical and focused Wind Whistler. The dynamic is likely the reason why they tend to be grouped together. |

| 355 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Her eyes are the same shades of red and pink that dominate her mane. |
| 356 | * TheEmpath: She's practically Counselor Troi in the form of a magenta, glowing unicorn. |
| 357 | * LightEmUp: She can generate light with her horn. |
| 358 | * OnlySaneWoman: Just about every time bad happens, she's often put into groupings where she's the only one to keep her cool and think things through. |
| 359 | * TheSmartGirl: She's not quite on the same level as Wind Whistler, but she's much more level-headed than other ponies and frequently serves as either the voice of reason, the knowledgeable one who informs the others about a new threat or object, or both. |
| 360 | * SurroundedByIdiots: Her lot in life, often being in episodes lacking Magic Star and Wind Whistler and consequently having her be the only one approaching the crisis ''du jour'' with the seriousness that's needed. For instance, in "Baby, It's Cold Outside" she's the only pony to be concerned over how it's snowing in the middle of summer, while everyone else waves her concerns off as just her being a party pooper until the rainbow itself freezes solid. |

| 371 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Downplayed. While her hair is mostly is green to match her green eyes, she has a pink stripe in her mane. |
| 372 | * DependingOnTheWriter: In American canon she's a JerkAss with a short temper. In the British comics, however, she's rather sweet and gentle, even being a nurse and a guardian to the Baby Ponies. |
| 373 | * {{Foil}}: To Shady. Gusty is confident, brave, and athletic, while Shady is very pessimistic, timid, and clumsy. These differences are highlighted in "Mish Mash Melee", where the frazzits reverse their personalities and they end up having each other's normal mannerisms. |
| 374 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's brave and athletic, but can be impatient and stubborn. |
| 375 | * PlotAllergy: She's allergic to pigs, of all things. This turns out to be somewhat of a problem in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyAndFriendsE19TheGlassPrincess4 The Glass Princess, Part 4]]", given that their main foe right then is a pig and that constant sneezing makes stealth a touch difficult. |

| 414 | * BabyTalk: They talk like this to varying degrees, depending on the specific pony in question. Some, like Baby Heart Throb, speak in fragmented sentences, while another Baby Pony may speak with a childish lisp. Lickety-Split goes back and forth, from perfectly fluent to HulkSpeak (while being intelligent enough to be a main character of multiple stories).

The older foals are horrified when it turns out to have been a trap and one of those fates (captivity) comes true. |

| 426 | ---- |
| 427 | * BigDamnHeroes: |
| 428 | ** In the movie, the Flutter Ponies, led as a battalion by Queen Rosedust, drive back the Smooze just before it engulfs Paradise Estate and everyone in it. |
| 429 | ** In "End of Flutter Valley", Honeysuckle returns with [[TheCavalry the Stonebacks]] just in time to rescue [[spoiler:Megan, Sting, and the Flutterponies with enough time to still save Flutter Valley]]. |
| 430 | * BraggingThemeTune: Their song in "Bright Lights" is a long BadassBoast about how powerful their magic is, how they can't be caught or stopped, and how thoroughly they're going to trounce the villains. |
| 431 | -->''We are the Flutter Ponies!''\ |

| 436 | ''Now you've met your match!''\ |
| 437 | ''Faster than a lighting bolt!''\ |
| 438 | ''We're impossible to catch!'' |
| 439 | * FloralThemeNaming: They're all named after flowers. Lily, Honeysuckle, Forget-Me-Not, Morning Glory, and Peach Blossom are named after specific flower types; Rosedust is an odd one out, as her name ''includes'' a flower. |
| 440 | * FragileSpeedster: The Flutter Ponies are extremely fast and agile, on top of hitting extremely hard with their Utter Flutter, but are physically weaker and frailer than the other tribes. |
| 441 | * HiddenElfVillage: They make their home in Flutter Valley, a hidden and secluded settlement where they live in deep seclusion. |
| 442 | * TheHighQueen: Rosedust is the Queen of the Flutter Ponies, and she's a benevolent pony who helps the heroes many times. |
| 443 | * NeutralNoLonger: In the movie, they initially prefer to remain hidden away from the world, but decide to help once they realize that Hydia would destroy Flutter Valley. |

| 447 | * SquishyWizard: The Flutter Ponies' Utter Flutter hits like a truck, being one of the most powerful abilities in the series and curbstomping several incredibly powerful threats. However, the Flutter Ponies are shown to be physically frail and not very strong. |
| 448 | * TheVoiceless: Lily is the only one without speaking lines. |
| 449 | * WindFromBeneathMyWings: The Utter Flutter takes the form of a large gust of wind created by their collective flapping. |
| 450 | * WorfHadTheFlu: They spend most of "End of Flutter Valley" captive and in danger because their wings are covered in honey and thus they can't use their Utter Flutter. It's implied that Bumble and her swarm can't win a straight fight with them, as the Flutter Ponies booted them from the Valley originally. Once their wings are dried and they're capable of fighting back, they proceed to curbstomp Hydia. |

| 460 | ''No one's had the setbacks I have (I have)''\ |
| 461 | ''Look where life has led me to (Me too!)'' |
| 462 | * BefriendingTheEnemy: In "The End of Flutter Valley", she tries to befriend Sting in order to get him to free her from the cage she's held in. It doesn't work -- he remains loyal to Queen Bumble in the end -- but it sets the seeds for his actual redemption once he realizes that Bumble doesn't care about him. |
| 463 | * CharacterDevelopment: She starts "The End of Flutter Valley" as a WideEyedIdealist who believes that all violence is bad and it is necessary to always see good in others, and by the end of it she becomes an ActionGirl who knows how to fight and learns that not everyone can be trusted. |
| 464 | * TheIngenue: She's optimistic, trusting and somewhat naïve, and her desire to seek the good in others and the outside world has both benefited the flutter ponies and brought them trouble. |
| 465 | * TookALevelInBadass: She learns to fight while under influence of Sting "The End of Flutter Valley", culminating in her defending him from Pointer by knocking the latter out. |

| 513 | * AdaptationalAttractiveness: A noticeable example. In the toys and comics he has bucked teeth and more pronounced ears. |
| 514 | * AdaptationDyeJob: He's purple in the toys, but pink in the original cartoon. Some cartoons have him as purple though. |
| 515 | * BreakoutCharacter: Spike would go on to become a recurring character in the various incarnations of ''My Little Pony'', and his character in G1 would have a significant impact in the development of his G3 and G4 versions. |

| 530 | * AmbiguousSpecies: It's not clear what he is, precisely -- he's obviously no sort of talking animal like most other characters, but his shortness and pointed ears also preclude his being a human. He mostly resembles a gnome or fairytale elf of some kind, but is never identified as such. |
| 531 | * GeniusDitz: He always knows exactly what the ponies need to do to fix whatever apocalypse they're in the middle of now, but he has a terrible memory and a tendency to misplace ''very'' important items and tools. |

| 543 | * TheSilentBob: He never speaks out loud, and communicates purely through body languages, pointing, tapping the Moochick's shoulder and a variety of exasperated facial expressions. |
| 544 | * SmartPeoplePlayChess: In the movie, the fact that he's generally smarter than his boss is first shown when he handily beats him in a game of chess played on four boards at once. |

| 554 | |
| 555 | Round fluffy creatures who roam the valley in large packs. Friendly by nature, they agree with anything anybody says and are among the ponies' recurring allies.\ |
| 556 | \ |
| 557 | The only named bushwoolies are Wishful, Chumster and Hugster in "The End of Flutter Valley", although a trio with their same designs also appears in "The Glass Princess" and a blue bushwooly with Hugster's general design tends to turn up as a leader figure for the bushwoolies in most of their appearances. |
| 558 | ---- |
| 559 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: They're extremely brightly colored even compared to the ponies, coming in highly saturated shades of pink, purple, red, orange, yellow, green and blue. In general, it's highly unlikely for there to be more than one or two bushwoolies of the same shade in any singly shot. |
| 560 | * CartoonCreature: They're not based on any specific creature, instead resembling walking piles of colorful fuzz or generic plush toys come to life. |
| 561 | * TheDividual: The bushwoolies typically appear in groups of up to a dozen, without individual personalities or names, and are never seen alone. Their tendency to speak quickly and talk over each other also makes it impossible to tell which one is saying any specific thing. For all narrative intents and purposes, they act as a single character that so happens to have several designs on-screen at any given time. |
| 562 | ** "The End of Flutter Valley" averts this by giving the three bushwoolies in its story unique names and character traits; however, it doesn't stick in future episodes. |
| 563 | ** Lampshaded in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyAndFriendsE25SweetStuffAndTheTreasureHunt Sweet Stuff and the Treasure Hunt]]", where they turn out to be the last thing to be found in a scavenger hunt -- the clue leading to them describes the item to be found as "Something that is one even when it is many". |
| 564 | * ForgottenPhlebotinum: In "The End of Flutter Valley, Part 3", it turns out that Wishful can somehow make things happen just by wishing them, something he never does again after in the episode or the series -- although, granted, it doesn't actually work the one time he tries it. |
| 565 | * MakeAWish: In "The End of Flutter Valley", Wishful claims to be able to make things happen by wishing for them to do so. When he tries to put this in practice, however, it entirely fails to work. |
| 566 | * NoSenseOfDirection: Due to their excessively agreeable natures, bushwoolies are very poor at finding or giving directions -- they'll heartily agree with whatever directions anybody proposes and aren't very good at coming up with good ones themselves, as Spike finds out to his chagrin in "The Quest of the Princess Ponies". |
| 567 | -->'''Spike:''' Oh, some shortcut, we've been walking for hours. Okay, let's try again. Which way leads to Dream Valley?\ |

| 570 | * YesMan: Their thing is that they'll compulsively agree with the latest thing anyone said in their earshot, leading them to emphatically support both sides of an argument and eagerly supporting each side until the other one says something. |

| 578 | Short, trollish humanoids whose kingdom, Grundleland, was destroyed by the Smooze in the past, forcing them to hide underground. They reappear in "The Return of Tambelon", where a handful of their number are among the few residents of Dream Valley not to have been captured by Grogar. |
| 579 | ---- |
| 580 | * AllTrollsAreDifferent: The Grundles are short, ugly but goodhearted humanoids who live underground. |
| 581 | * BeautyEqualsGoodness: Subverted. They're initially mistaken for monsters by Baby Lickety-Split and Spike before they explain their good intentions. The Flutter Ponies later try to de-Smooze them, under the assumption that they were turned monstrous by the Smooze, but the Grundles assure them that this is how they've always looked. |
| 582 | * EthnicityMonarch: Downplayed. The Grundle King is, well, the king of all Grundles... which count five members including him. |
| 583 | * NoNameGiven: They're never identified by name, and are instead referred to by everyone, including themselves, as "Grundle" or "Grundle King". |
| 584 | * ProneToTears: The Grundles burst into tears whenever Grundleland is so much as named, as any reminder of how much they miss their lost homeland will open the floodgates. Their king has become extremely careful not actually bring Grundleland in conversation as a result. |
| 585 | * TheRemnant: They're the only Grundles left after the witches succeeded in destroying the kingdom they once lived in. |
| 586 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: Out of the five Grundles seen in the movie, only one is female. |
| 587 | * TertiarySexualCharacteristics: The female Grundle is distinguished by wearing a dress and having hair. |
| 588 | * ThirdPersonPerson: They always refer to themselves by their species name instead of using pronouns. |
| 589 | * UnusualEuphemism: The king tends to say "aw, Grundlemumf!" in situations where profanity would be expected in a work with a higher rating. |
