| 35 | A buffalo calf from a tribe of buffaloes in Appleloosa. She is first seen participating in a train heist with a herd of other fellow buffalo tribesmen. Rainbow Dash confronted her during the heist on top of the train but she escaped along with the cart they were after (with Spike still on board unbeknownst to them). After befriending Spike, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie, she tried to reason with the Chief of her herd and the Apple-loosians on how to settle their differences. |
| 36 | ---- |
| 37 | * BackForTheFinale: She makes a brief appearance in the show's GrandFinale during the final battle for Equestria and during "The Magic of Friendship Grows". |
| 38 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: She may be sweet and compassionate but that doesn't mean that she can't take care of herself if she needs to (in fact, we see the "Beware" part before the "Nice" part). |
| 39 | * CuteBruiser: Comes with being a buffalo naturally, but she's nimble enough to jump onto a moving train and fast enough to temporarily outspeed a flying Rainbow Dash while running. |
| 40 | * DubNameChange: She's Piccola Anima Coraggiosa ("Little Brave Soul") in the Italian dub. |
| 41 | * EveryoneLovesBlondes: One of the reasons for her popularity. |
| 42 | * IndianMaiden: Just a calf but faster and just as strong as any of the other buffalo in her tribe. As for calming influence? She's the only dove in a tribe of hawks. |
| 43 | * MeaningfulName: Strong enough to defeat Rainbow Dash, compassionate enough to see the settlers' point of view and attempt to find a solution without resorting to violence, and she's little. |
| 44 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: A young buffalo who can hold her own ground. |
| 45 | * ShesAManInJapan: In the Polish dub, she's referred to as male. What's ironic is that [[CrossDressingVoices she's voiced by a woman anyway]]. |
| 46 | * SmurfettePrinciple: She seems to be the only female buffalo in her tribe. |

| 60 | * AppealToTradition: His main argument to why he was so opposed to the settlers planting apple trees over his tribe's stampeding grounds. |
| 61 | * BackForTheFinale: He shows up to aid in the final battle for Equestria in the GrandFinale. |
| 62 | * BraidsBeadsAndBuckskins: The Buffalo tribe all wear eagle feathers, but as the leader he gets to wear a huge headdress that makes him appear even bigger then he already is. |
| 63 | * TheLeader: A Headstrong type. His initial solution to the problem is "steal trees" and his later solution is attacking. |
| 64 | * LargeAndInCharge: He's even bigger than the other buffalo, and dwarfs the other characters. His head alone is as large as a pony. |

Spike stays at Joe's donut shop during "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E26TheBestNightEver The Best Night Ever]]", drowning himself in [[DrunkOnMilk hot chocolate and donuts with extra sprinkles]] after the rest of the Mane Six go their separate ways at the Grand Galloping Gala to pursue their own goals instead of hanging out together. Joe later appears as one of the bakers entering the National Dessert Competition in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E24MysteryOnTheFriendshipExpress MMMystery on the Friendship Express]]", having created a confection called Donutopia. Later still, he makes another appearance in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E8JustForSidekicks Just for Sidekicks]]", selling donuts on the train, and again in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E12AmendingFences Amending Fences]]" at his donut shop. |
| 101 | ---- |
| 102 | * AerithAndBob: "Joe" is a remarkably simple name in a show with Twilight, Rarity, Rainbow etc. |
| 103 | * AllThereInTheManual: According to [[http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=1071 the]] [[http://www.welovefine.com/img/p/1073-3038.jpg shirt]] [[http://www.welovefine.com/img/p/1073-3039.jpg and]] [[http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=1214 bag]] ''Pony Joe's'', his donut shop is open 24 hours a day. Until "[=MMMystery=] on the Friendship Express", his ownership of said donut shop had also only been mentioned by said licensed [[TheMerch merchandise]]. |
| 104 | * AscendedExtra: His only appearance in Season 1 consisted of two lines in a single scene. |
| 105 | * BackForTheFinale: After having a cameo in "Trade Ya!", he returns in a very brief scene serving donuts to the Mane Six in "The Ending of the End – Part 2". |
| 106 | * TheBartender: Even though he isn't exactly a bartender, "The Best Night Ever" treats him as one. |
| 107 | * BigBeautifulMan: Notably larger than the other ponies, and Rarity said he'd look good in a tux. Pinkie Pie might think so as well, since it was her ImagineSpot that put him in one to begin with and most of that imagine spot features [[TheCasanova mares hanging off of him constantly]]. |
| 108 | * DrunkOnMilk: Spike treats his chocolate drinks and donuts as if they were alcoholic beverages. In fairness, Spike could be one of those people who gets loopy when he's had too much sugar which chocolate drinks and doughnuts with sprinkles would definitely cause. |
| 109 | * IllTellYouWhenIveHadEnough: He has this exchange with Spike in "The Best Night Ever" with him playing the part of TheBartender and Spike as TheAlcoholic. |

| 115 | * MeaningfulName: "Joe" is slang for a cup of coffee, which is often served with donuts. It's also slang for [[TheGenericGuy being ordinary]], an "Average Joe". |
| 116 | * OldFriend: He has known Twilight Sparkle and Spike for some time before they moved to Ponyville. |
| 117 | * SuddenNameChange: He was called Pony Joe in "The Best Night Ever", then had his name out-of-nowhere revised to Donut Joe when he reappeared with a bigger role in "[=MMMystery=] on the Friendship Express". Since both names were only used once each (he's called just "Joe" most of the time), it isn't clear which name is correct; "Donut Joe" is newer, but "Pony Joe" had also been used by [[OfficialFanSubmittedContent fan-designed]] licensed [[TheMerch merchandise]] beforehand. The remainder of the latter episode just calls him Joe (and for simplicity's sake, so does this very wiki). |
| 118 | * SupremeChef: His "Donutopia" is a city made of donuts and irresistably delicious. |
| 119 | * TuxedoAndMartini: In Pinkie's ImagineSpot in "[=MMMystery=] on the Friendship Express", he is a James Bond-style secret agent with the tux and the gadgets and the beautiful mares clinging to his legs. |

| 220 | * InnocentBigot: Trenderhoof, a unicorn, says to Applejack that he admires "the work ethic of earth ponies". Applejack is clearly not amused. |
| 221 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: He completely overlooks Rarity's advances while fawning over Applejack. He also thinks Derpy is unappreciated. |
| 222 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Subverted. He's totally insensitive to others right up to the point when he's explicitly rejected to his face, whereupon he backs down immediately and shows remorse. So while he tends to think about himself most of the time, he can also be considerate to others; he's just not good at seeing when it's needed. A real "ItsAllAboutMe" character would have been offended at rejection. |
| 223 | * MeaningfulName: His name references his tendencies as a trend-setter, but it's also a play on "tenderfoot", a slang term for someone unused to rural or outdoor life. Despite his crush on Applejack and subsequent overplayed interest in farm life, he's clearly out of his element on Sweet Apple Acres. |

| 236 | |
| 237 | A tiny fairy pony-like creature called a Breezie. He was one of a group of them that got separated from the others during their return trip to the portal to their home. Unlike the other Breezies, he's desperate to get home before the portal closes. |
| 238 | ---- |
| 239 | * TheCameo: At the end of "Twilight's Kingdom – Part 2", along with the rest of the ponies who gave the Mane Six their keys. |
| 240 | * ClusterFBomb: Lets one [[PardonMyKlingon in his own language]] off when the others don't seem to want to leave Fluttershy's cottage. |
| 241 | -->'''Applejack:''' What'd he say?\ |
| 242 | '''Fluttershy:''' ''[blushing]'' I'd... rather not say. |
| 243 | * DrillSergeantNasty: He insults the other Breezies, calling them stupid and incompetent. This behavior is partially because he's more worried about getting back home than they are. |
| 244 | %% Dude Looks Like A Lady is In-Universe Examples Only. |
| 245 | * EvilWearsBlack: Downplayed -- Seabreeze is the only Breezie who dresses in black, and he's the only one who's constantly angry. However, his anger is justifiable since he's just trying to get back home to his family. |
| 246 | * HappilyMarried: Implied when we see his family at the end of the episode; his first instinct is to smile warmly at his wife and hug his kid tightly. |
| 247 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's rather mean and constantly shouts at the other Breezies, but underneath it all, he's truly a good guy who's simply frustrated over his group being stuck in Ponyville, especially considering the fact that he has a wife and child waiting for him. The problem is simply that he jumps straight to berating the others, and he learns that positive reinforcement is often a better way to get through to people. Unless his group of breezies only started their habit of slacking off when they reached Fluttershy's house, they've been getting on his nerves for a long time. His lack of patience is considerably more understandable with that in mind. |
| 248 | * OnlySaneMan: A little more abrasive than most, but he is the only one among the Breezies who's focused on going back home. |
| 249 | * RealMenWearPink: Despite his hair color (and huge eyelashes), he never actually acts girly. |
| 250 | * SpeakingSimlish: The Breezies all speak a strange blend of Scottish and Swedish, but Seabreeze is able to speak English and acts as their translator. |
| 251 | * SpockSpeak: Seabreeze does not use contractions when he speaks. |
| 252 | * SurroundedByIdiots: Seriously, not one single breezy except him seems to give a rat's ass about returning home, escaping a world clearly not fit for them and delivering that pollen which is supposedly very important for the whole community. It's easy to see why he would get so frustrated. |
| 253 | * TookALevelInKindness: Fluttershy teaches him that being firm and yelling at others should only come as a last resort when he's unable to get through to them, and he starts helping and encouraging the struggling Breezies instead. |
| 254 | * UngratefulBastard: Subverted; it seems like he's this at first, as he yells at Fluttershy when she was taking care of him and the other Breezies, but after she rescues him from a swarm of bees he immediately and repeatedly thanks her. |
| 255 | * ViolentGlaswegian: Between his temper and his mix of Scottish and Swedish accidents, Seabreezes fits this quite well. |

| 265 | ---- |
| 266 | * AffablyEvil: Really the only "evil" thing about him is that he's allied with the Flim Flam Brothers and helping them with their scheme. [[spoiler:At the end of the episode, he becomes a full-blown NiceGuy thanks to Applejack helping him [[HeelFaceTurn redeem himself]].]] |

| 290 | A very large pony that's been causing all sorts of accidents at various rodeos all over Equestria. It turns out that he means well, but not only is he very clumsy, he's also very unlucky. Ever since he was young, he always wanted to be a rodeo star, but his clumsiness kept him from really making it as a rodeo pony. |
| 291 | ---- |
| 292 | * {{Acrofatic}}: He is shown to be this at rodeos in spite his massive size and clumsiness. |
| 293 | * BlessedWithSuck: For most of his life, he considered his special talent to be this (see BornUnlucky). |
| 294 | * BornUnlucky: His cutie mark is an upside-down horseshoe (which is considered unlucky since it is believed that the luck would drain out if a horseshoe is held that way), so he believed for a long time that bad luck was his lot in life. |
| 295 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "Just my luck..." |
| 296 | * CursedWithAwesome: His klutziness makes him an excellent rodeo clown. |
| 297 | * TheEeyore: Due to his really long streak of bad luck, he's appropriately jaded. |
| 298 | * GentleGiant: While he is mistaken for a criminal by nearly everyone else, he's actually extremely polite and soft-spoken. |
| 299 | * TheGiant: He's one of the biggest ponies in the show, Clydesdale-sized. |
| 300 | * GoodAllAlong: Everypony thought he only appeared at rodeos to disrupt them, earning him a reputation of being a criminal. It turns out that he wanted to be in the rodeo business, but his clumsiness caused him all kinds of trouble. |
| 301 | * TheKlutz: He's a very clumsy pony, constantly breaking things or knocking them over by mistake, which has caused him a great amount of misfortune. |
| 302 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: He is by far the largest non-alicorn pony character on the show, twice as tall as most other characters. He would tower over Big Mac and give even Princess Celestia a run for her money. His features are also based off a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clydesdale_horse Clydesdale horse]], including the facial markings, coloring, and fetlocks, rather than being the mono-colored pastel tones of the show's other ponies. |
| 303 | * WouldntHurtAChild: Applejack and the Appleoosans fear that he would kidnap the Cutie Mark Crusaders and they think just that when they see the Crusaders with him. Turns out he's actually a nice guy who befriends with the Crusaders and listens to their help into accepting his cutie mark. |

| 314 | |
| 315 | A very mellowed-out earth pony who is good friends with Fluttershy. Tree Hugger is never one to raise her voice, and always talks about the wonderful nature of things around her. She's a member of the Equestrian Society for the Preservation of Rare Creatures, and met with Fluttershy during the latter's trip to study the Breezies. |
| 316 | ---- |
| 317 | * BigOlEyebrows: Has prominent large and thick red eyebrows, unusual in comparison to other ponies' designs. |
| 318 | * TheCameo: Has a brief appearance in "On Your Marks" and in [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017 the movie]]. She even appears depicted in [[ArtImitatesArt parodies of famous artworks]] in ''WebAnimation/MyLittlePonyTellYourTale''. |
| 319 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Tree Hugger is always mellowed-out in her own little world, even when under attack by a giant blob monster. |
| 320 | * DreadlockRasta: Her reddish mane and tail are styled like this, even for the Grand Galloping Gala. |
| 321 | * FantasticallyIndifferent: Tree Hugger is completely unfazed by Discord, not even remembering his face when they meet a second time. She claims this is because she meets rare creatures on a regular basis. [[spoiler:She is, however, freaked out by the live-action Mexican sock puppet in the other dimension.]] |
| 322 | * FlowersOfNature: She normally wears a yellow bandana with white flowers on it. For the Gala, she wears a circlet of flowers around her head. Quite fitting with her hippie persona. |
| 323 | * FurryReminder: Tree Hugger's singing is rather like a horse's whinny, albeit more tuneful than one. |
| 324 | * GranolaGirl: She spends a lot of time talking about auras, vibrations, and nature. Plus, her MeaningfulName is "Tree Hugger". She also adopts yoga postures while modeling. |
| 325 | * GRatedStoner: She has a lot of stereotypical "stoner" traits; she's a GranolaGirl and NewAgeRetroHippie with her mane and tail in [[DreadlockRasta dreadlocks]] who has a [[DrearyHalfLiddedEyes perpetually sleepy expression]], is extremely [[MellowFellow mellow]] and uses a lot of TotallyRadical slang. However, since this is a show aimed at young girls, no actual drug use is implied. |
| 326 | * HippieName: She's a bunch of hippie stereotypes condensed into a mare, and her name is fittingly "Tree Hugger". |
| 327 | * {{Leitmotif}}: Sitar music plays whenever she talks. |
| 328 | * MellowFellow: Very relaxed and unfazed by threats and abrasiveness. She forgives Discord [[EasilyForgiven ridiculously quickly]] for [[spoiler:trying to throw her into another dimension]], though she does need a few minutes before she can hug him "from a place of authenticity". |
| 329 | * NewAgeRetroHippie: She looks and talks like a archetypal hippie, and her speech is usually accompanied by the sound of a sitar. |
| 330 | * NiceGirl: Despite her eccentricity, she is ''incredibly'' forgiving and polite from what is seen of her. |
| 331 | * NotSoStoic: The normally relaxed Tree Hugger is understandably terrified when [[spoiler:Discord tries to send her to another dimension]], and even then in a rather subdued manner considering. |
| 332 | * PublicExposure: She has a cameo in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E4OnYourMarks On Your Marks]]" doing nude modeling for painters. Of course, ponies don't usually wear clothes, so it's used more as an ironic gag. |
| 333 | * StealthPun: While doing the above-mentioned modeling, one position she takes is known as "tree" in yoga. |
| 334 | * ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: Her avant-garde singing is the only thing that can calm the Smooze down. |
| 335 | * TotallyRadical: Tree Hugger's speech is peppered with jargon appropriate for a GranolaGirl, including "radical", "mellow", and "groovy", as well as an occasional LikeIsLikeAComma. |

| 346 | |
| 347 | A unicorn who was also one of Twilight's old friends in Canterlot. After Twilight left for Ponyville, she became a recluse who only focused on studying. |
| 348 | ---- |
| 349 | * BigOlEyebrows: Has huge red eyebrows which rival Tree Hugger's. |
| 350 | * {{Bookworm}}: [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]] to the point of being unhealthy. All she does after Twilight leaves for Ponyville is study, study, and study some more. She always has her nose in a book, until Twilight finally gets her back out of her shell. Her brief appearance in "The Point of No Return" (season 9) suggests that she's still a bookworm, but at least a better socially-adjusted one, as she's gone out to lunch with Canterlot's head librarian. |
| 351 | * TheCameo: |
| 352 | ** She makes an appearance at the beginning of "The Cutie Re-Mark-Part 1" listening to Twilight's orientation. |
| 353 | ** She is also seen as a filly in "Celestial Advice" during Celestia's flashback, and in [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017 the movie]] during the song "We Got This Together", but without her sweater and with her original manestyle. |
| 354 | ** She's seen reading in the Canterlot Library in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsForgottenFriendship''. |
| 355 | ** Also, she's among the charge with Fancy Pants' group when Sombra brainwashes all of Canterlot in "The Beginning of the End Part 2". |
| 356 | ** A downplayed example in "The Point of No Return"; it's her first speaking appearance since "Amending Fences", but it's only for introducing First Folio to the audience and otherwise, she plays no further role after Twilight flees from the Tasty Treat. |
| 357 | * ChekhovsGunman: She's first mentioned as the host of a party that Twilight blows off in the very first episode of the series. She's first important to the plot in season 5, and it turns out that Twilight's reaction to her invitation [[CerebusRetcon really affected her]]. |
| 358 | * DependingOnTheArtist: Probably one of the more notable cases in the G4 continuity: |
| 359 | ** "The Fall of Sunset Shimmer" had her mane long and flowing, similar to Fluttershy, but this was early on and also depicted her as well as Twilight's other Canterlot friends as older than Twilight herself, who was depicted as a filly in the comic. All other appearances make her a pallet swap of Twilight, albeit with minor distinctions. |
| 360 | ** On that note, her post "Amending Fences" appearances have also been inconsistent. The end of the aforementioned episode showed her with a cleaned-up tail at least (her helmet makes the mane hard to judge), but all further cameos, not counting the movie, have depicted her still with MessyHair and the sweater. This was possibly done so that the show's target audience [[ViewersAreMorons would be able to fully recognize her]]. |
| 361 | * HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: She only wears a sweater and glasses. |
| 362 | * IJustWantToHaveFriends: While she convinced herself that she didn't need friends, secretly she really did. |
| 363 | * LonersAreFreaks: When Twilight Sparkle thinks you are studying too much, you are definitely a candidate for this trope. The intense isolation also made her rude. |
| 364 | * MessyHair: Apparently, Moondancer gave up on grooming as well as having friends. See DependingOnTheArtist for how the show depicts her cleaning it up (or not). |
| 365 | * NerdGlasses: Moondancer wears a pair; they're even held together by tape. |
| 366 | * NeverBeHurtAgain: After Twilight, the pony she considered her best friend, didn't show up for her first party and moved to Ponyville without a word, Moondancer was so heartbroken that she decided friendship just wasn't for her. |
| 367 | * PaletteSwap: Younger Moondancer is this to the then-unicorn Twilight. As an adult, she looks just like unicorn Twilight, but with glasses, a tie in her mane, and her mane is unkempt. Her mane and tail's colors are even a reversal of Twilight's, being mostly red with purple and lighter purple stripes instead of purple with pink stripes. [[ShadowArchetype This serves to highlight both her similarities and her differences to Twilight]]. |
| 368 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: After suffering in silence for most of the episode, she finally lets Twilight have it about how devastated she was about Twilight not coming to her party after she'd taken such a personal risk in coming out of her shell. |
| 369 | * ShadowArchetype: A more heroic variant. Without any friends to care about her and no one to get her to try and make any, Moondancer became a recluse who spends all her time at home or at the library studying incessantly and has no social skills. She's basically a reflection of what Twilight might have become if she hadn't moved to Ponyville and had no Spike and Celestia to spur her CharacterDevelopment. |
| 370 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her name is spelled either as "Moondancer" or "Moon Dancer", the latter spelling appearing in the closed-captions. |

| 431 | Applejack's childhood friend who rose to stardom as the most famous pop singer in all of Equestria. Unfortunately, she is at the thrall of her terribly stuck-up and demanding manager. |
| 432 | ---- |
| 433 | * AffectionateNickname: Applejack shortened her name to "Rara" while they were at camp together, which she comes to see as her "real" name over the "Countess" title Svengallop gave her. |
| 434 | * AlliterativeName: Her stage name "Countess Coloratura" is this; ordinarily, she has OnlyOneName. |
| 435 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Pinkie Pie comments that she's ahead of Sapphire Shores as the top pop singer in Equestria. |
| 436 | * BackForTheFinale: She appears in the GrandFinale during "The Magic of Friendship Grows". |
| 437 | * FriendToAllChildren: Her favorite part of her concerts is meeting school ponies afterward. |
| 438 | * GirlNextDoorTurnedSuperstar: She's a a platonic, same-gendered variant of this trope with Applejack. The two were childhood friends, but, when they meet again for the first time in years in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E24TheManeAttraction The Mane Attraction]]", Applejack learns she'd become a pop sensation in the interim. But when she acts distantly, refuses to accept Applejack's use of her "Rara" nickname and performs an act that has no resemblance to the pony she once was, Applejack realizes she's been trapped under the influence of a controlling manager, subsequently helping her break free from him and adopt a style that's much more true to herself. |
| 439 | * HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: She sticks up for Svengallop despite him clearly walking over everypony else and complimenting his own work on her shows rather than her actual singing, since he's still important for making sure everything goes smoothly. She's quick to dump him after Applejack reveals just how much he's been abusing his position, though. |
| 440 | * InkSuitActor: Her normal look makes her a dead ringer for the raven-haired Lena Hall. |
| 441 | * LittleBlackDress: For the music festival, Rara wears a simple but elegant black frock with a sheer skirt that shows off her cutie mark. |
| 442 | * MeaningfulName: "Coloratura" is a musical term referring to an elaborate ornamentation of a melody, which is fitting with her talent as a singer. It also literally means "coloring" in Italian, and her cutie mark is made up of colorful music notes. |
| 443 | * MealTicket: Svengallop uses Coloratura to reap the perks of stardom and pamper himself. |
| 444 | * MysteriousVeil: Part of her on-stage ensemble, with her discarding it at the end showing her embracing her true personality instead of Svengallop's created persona. |
| 445 | * NiceGirl: While she may look like a snobby [[ThePrimaDonna prima donna]] at first, Rara is actually quite friendly and humble pony who appreciates her fans. |
| 446 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Her "Countess" persona is basically Music/LadyGaga ponified in both appearance and music style. |
| 447 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: She was still using her childhood nickname Rara when she met Svengallop, who gave her the name Countess Coloratura, the "Countess" part not optional. By the end of the episode, she's Rara again, meaning she hasn't gone by her real name since she met Applejack. |
| 448 | * ThePrimaDonna: She comes off as this before it is revealed that it's actually her manager who is ridiculously demanding. |
| 449 | * SheCleansUpNicely: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]], as for her performance she keeps her appearance as simple as possible, as opposed to the [[UncannyValleyMakeup heavy makeup, black eyeliner]], [[VisualMetaphor dark veil]] and [[ImpossiblyTackyClothes gaudy clothes]] she was wearing before. |
| 450 | * TearsOfJoy: While singing "The Magic Inside", Rara cries with happiness at being her true self while doing what she loves for the first time in years. |
| 451 | * TrueBeautyIsOnTheInside: Certainly implied with Coloratura's plain and simple appearance at her performance. |
| 452 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: Downplayed with Applejack since they merely lost touch rather than outright splitting up, and they're both happy to see each other again. She nearly threatens to cut things off for real when Applejack starts badmouthing her manager, but they patch things up when the Mane Six prove to her how horrible he really is. |

| 460 | |
| 461 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AshleighBall (Applejack) |
| 462 | |
| 463 | A timeline where King Sombra returned unopposed, brainwashing the Crystal Empire's denizens and leading a war against Equestria. |
| 464 | ---- |
| 465 | * AlternateSelf: In this timeline, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Maud Pie are soldiers in the war against Sombra, the Apple Family Farm has been turned into a factory where Applejack and her family work to provide food for the troops, and Fluttershy and Rarity work sweatshops to provide material for the war effort. |
| 466 | * AnArmAndALeg: Given Rainbow's aritificial left wing, it can be inferred that she lost it in combat. |
| 467 | * ArtificialLimbs: Rainbow's left wing is metal in this timeline. |
| 468 | * CompressedHair: Rainbow has a rather large head of hair that is easily concealed under her flight helmet. |
| 469 | * CoveredInScars: Rainbow has a missing wing, there's a large chunk torn out of one of her ears, and there's a scar running over her left eye. |
| 470 | * EarAche: Rainbow has a large chunk tore from one of her ears. |
| 471 | * ExpositoryHairstyleChange: One of the more obvious changes in each of the mane six's character designs is their manecuts; |
| 472 | ** Applejack keeps her in a hairnet, showing that she's working a factory where efficiency is prized over personality. |
| 473 | ** Pinkie's mane is straighter, since she doesn't have any of the joy and bubbliness she has in the regular timeline. Her sister Maud has short hair as befits a soldier. |
| 474 | ** Fluttershy's mane and tail are shorter, presumably for safety since she works with shears to cut sheep wool. |
| 475 | ** Rarity's mane is messier and not styled, since she works a sweatshop and doesn't have time for such frivolities. |
| 476 | ** Rainbow's mane is notably messier and longer, covering one of her eyes, showing that she's more grizzled. |
| 477 | * FireForgedFriends: Rainbow, Maud, and Pinkie are shown to fight by each others side, with the sisters saving her from a boulder, saluting her, before moving on, implying at least a somewhat familiar relationship. |
| 478 | * FrontlineGeneral: Celestia herself leads Equestria's army against Sombra, fighting on the front lines. |
| 479 | * FutureBadass: Technically present badass, but the war has turned Rainbow, Maud, and Pinkie into rugged soldiers of war. Rainbow is CoveredInScars implying that she's fought many times before and made it out alive, while Maud has apparently taught Pinkie the trick for breaking apart a boulder with her bare hoofs. Rainbow is also implied to be a commanding officer, since Maud and Pinkie salute her. |
| 480 | * MildlyMilitary: Rainbow and Pinkie, despite being a commander and front-line soldier respectively, have long hair that one wouldn't expect from a soldier. |
| 481 | * MilitarySalute: Maud and Pinkie shoot Rainbow a quick salute before moving on in the battle. |
| 482 | * RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Both Princess Celestia and King Sombra lead their forces on the front lines. |
| 483 | * WarIsHell: Everyone in this timeline is miserable. The violence is kept g-rated, with the notable exception of Rainbow showing scars up to and including a lost limb, but there's also the fact that everyone in Equestria has to contribute, working sweatshops and turning the normally happy kingdom miserable and industrialized. |

| 490 | |
| 491 | A timeline where Chrysalis' conquest of Equestria was successful, and Zecora leads a small band of survivors in the Everfree Woods. |
| 492 | ---- |
| 493 | * AlternateSelf: In this timeline, Zecora is a rebel leader, and Fluttershy, Pinkie, and Trixie are grim fighters who follow her. |
| 494 | * ArbitrarySkepticism: Played for laughs. Pinkie doubts that Spike is a dragon, and demands that he does something "dragonish" to prove himself. |
| 495 | * AwesomenessByAnalysis: Zecora deduces very quickly what's going on with the timeline meddling. |
| 496 | * BolivianArmyEnding: The last we see of Zecora and her village before Twilight goes to reset the timeline, they're surrounded by an entire army of changelings, plus Chrysalis herself. |
| 497 | * BreakTheCutie: Fluttershy is a much darker and more serious pony in this timeline, threatening to kill Twilight with no trial on the mere suspicion that she's a changeling. |
| 498 | * TheCameo: Trixie, of all ponies, has a non-speaking role as one of Zecora's guards. |
| 499 | * EveryoneIsATomato: Zecora's salve reveals that not only are Twilight and Spike who they say they are, but everyone ''else'' is wrong. |
| 500 | -->'''Zecora:''' The meaning is far worse, I see, for it is we who should not be. |
| 501 | * EvilLaugh: Chrysalis, in typical fashion, gleefully gloats over having found Zecora's hideout. |
| 502 | * ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Not quite as much as in the Sombra timeline, but Fluttershy and Pinkie's manes are messier and braided, not to mention covered in mud, reflecting their tribal survivor lifestyle in this timeline. |
| 503 | * FromBadToWorse: In the Sombra timeline, Celestia was still active and leading the charge against Sombra, and there was hope for a resolution to the war in the future. In this timeline, Chrysalis has already taken over, Celestia is nowhere to be seen, and only a small band of survivors are left. |
| 504 | * HeroicSacrifice: Zecora tells Twilight to fix the timeline, while she and her people hold of Chrysalis in a doomed fight. |
| 505 | * LaResistance: Zecora's band of survivors are opposing Chrysalis' regime, while the changeling queen tries to hunt them down. |
| 506 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Zecora realizes quickly that Twilight's story might hold water, hears her out, and does everything in her power to help her set things right. |
| 507 | * RebelLeader: Zecora is the leader of the last band of survivors opposing Chrysalis. |
| 508 | * TribalFacePaint: Zecora's survivors all wear green facepaint in intricate patterns across their faces and bodies, which turns out to be a precaution against Changelings. |
| 509 | * UncertainDoom: Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity only appear as disguised Changelings, leaving it up in the air what happened to them in this timeline, though certainly not promising well. There is also no mention of what happened to Celestia. |
| 510 | !!!Nightmare Moon Timeline |
| 511 | [[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nightmare_moon_with_her_guards_s5e26.png]] |
| 512 | [[caption-width-right:1000:Rainbow Dash (furthest to the left), Nightmare Moon. Not pictured: Rarity]] |
| 513 | ->'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E26TheCutieRemarkPart2 The Cutie Remark Part 2]]" |
| 514 | |
| 515 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TabithaStGermain (Rarity, Nightmare Moon), Creator/AshleighBall (Rainbow Dash) |
| 516 | |
| 517 | A timeline where Nightmare Moon returned, as foreseen, and defeated Celestia, imprisoning her in the moon. Now, Equestria is cloaked in eternal night under her rule. |
| 518 | ---- |
| 519 | * ActuallyPrettyFunny: When Spike claims that Equestria is Celestia's kingdom, not Nightmare Moon's, there's a brief silence and two of the guards exchange nervous glances, clearly expecting something terrible to happen to anyone who mentions the sun princess. Nightmare Moon just laughs, amused by Spike's bravado and ignorance. |
| 520 | * AffablyEvil: Nightmare Moon is by far the nicest of the villains, not making overt threats and being perfectly cordial with Twilight. Even when Spike puts his foot in his mouth by mentioning Celestia, she doesn't take offense to it and just laughs it off. Also, she apparently allows tourists to tour her castle. |
| 521 | * AlternateSelf: In this timeline, Rarity is a maid serving Nightmare Moon directly by looking after her castle, and Rainbow Dash is a soldier in her royal guard. |
| 522 | * AmbiguousSituation: Rainbow Dash's batwings are a small detail and never explained, so it's ambiguous if it's a physical transformation, an illusion or glamour (notably, her eyes are different when she's wearing the helmet, implying that it's an aesthetic effect caused by the armor), or something else. |
| 523 | * BatPeople: This timeline's version of Rainbow Dash is one, though it's left unclear if she's actually transformed into a batpony or if it's just a {{Glamour}}. |
| 524 | * TheBusCameBack: The first (and only) time Luna's BatPeople royal guard appear since "Luna Eclipsed", though they sport more intimidating helmets since they serve a villain rather than being CreepyGood like in their original appearance. |
| 525 | * DistinctiveAppearances: Played with in that it's actually the fact that she's ''more standard'' that makes her stand out. Rainbow Dash doesn't have ear tufts like the other Royal Guards. |
| 526 | * EmergingFromTheShadows: How else should Nightmare Moon arrive on the scene? |
| 527 | * EvilLaugh: It wouldn't be Nightmare Moon if she didn't cackle evily. |
| 528 | * ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Rarity's mane is in a tight and professional bun, and Rainbow's is shaved down to a buzzcut, reflecting the strict authoritarianism of Nightmare Moon's rule. |
| 529 | * FaceHeelTurn: This version of Rainbow Dash is a member of Nightmare Moon's honor guard, with no indication that she's anything other than a loyal soldier, which is quite the turn for someone who grew up under Celestia's reign. Downplayed with Rarity, who works for Nightmare Moon but only as a maid, so she presumably doesn't do anything to enforce her will. |
| 530 | * FantasticRacism: When Spike tries to talk to Rarity, she dismissively tells him that she doesn't associate with dragons, with notable distain. |
| 531 | * FromBadToWorse: Nightmare Moon's timeline is the first one seen where the villain is utterly unopposed, with not even a small resistance against her rule. It is also the only timeline where the two of the mane six seen are working for the villain, rather than opposing her. |
| 532 | * FutureBadass: She doesn't fight any in the brief time she appears, but Rainbow Dash in this timeline is apparently a good enough soldier to be a member of Nightmare Moon's personal guard, possibly an officer since she speaks for the group. |
| 533 | * GenderEqualEnsemble: Say what you will about Nightmare Moon's reign, at least her guard is gender balanced, consisting of three mares and three stallions. |
| 534 | * GoodWingsEvilWings: Nightmare Moon's royal guard have bat-like traits, most notably leather bat wings. This includes Rainbow Dash. |
| 535 | * HellishPupils: Nightmare Moon, of course, but also her royal guard, at least when they're wearing their helmets (as Rainbow's go back to normal when she removes it). |
| 536 | * HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: One of the royal guard takes off her helmet for no reason other than to bark at Twilight, and make it obvious to both her and the audience that the guard in question is this timeline's version of Rainbow Dash. At least when she lost her helmet in the Sombra timeline it was because it fell of in combat. |
| 537 | * HorrifyingTheHorror: Timberwolves are savage monstrous predators that even Twilight is hesitant to confront, especially when she's exhausted from fighting Starlight. When Nightmare Moon takes a stroll through their territory, one of them is seen running away in fear. |
| 538 | * KarmicDeath: Non-lethal example. Nightmare Moon imprisoned Celestia in the moon, pointing out that it's the same thing she did to her a thousand years ago. |
| 539 | * TheNightThatNeverEnds: This being a timeline where Nigthmare Moon won, it's of course cloaked in eternal night. This doesn't seem to affect the plantlife much, as the Everfree Forest is still growing strong. |
| 540 | * PraetorianGuard: Six ponies with dark armor and batwings attend Nightmare Moon in her throneroom, apparently acting as her honor guard. That said, they're clearly BodyguardingABadass, and are more there to menace and keep prisoners in line. |
| 541 | * PragmaticEvil: Since Nightmare Moon's motivation is to have the ponies of Equestria love her, her rule (what little is seen at least) doesn't seem to be ''too'' terrible, and she's actually fairly pleasant in conversation. |
| 542 | * PrimAndProperBun: Rarity's mane is tied up in a bun, and she's a strict and professional maid in this timeline. |
| 543 | * RepressiveButEfficient: Dark (literally) and tyrannical as she may be, Nightmare Moon is still running a functional kingdom, compared to the previous timelines where the villains brainwashed their subjects or treated them like prey. Notably, she's also the most effective of the villains, as there is no sign of resistance against her rule. |
| 544 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Rainbow and Rarity are the only members of the mane six who appear in this timeline. Applejack, Pinkie, Fluttershy, and this timeline's Twilight are presumably out there somewhere, but not seen. |

| 573 | |
| 574 | The original Lord of the Dragons, who by dragon customs must soon abdicate his throne and has set up an extremely difficult challenge -- the Gauntlet of Fire -- to select someone worthy of taking his place. |
| 575 | ---- |
| 576 | * AbdicateTheThrone: Torch has essentially reached the end of his "term" as Dragon Lord, and must soon abdicate and choose a new Dragon Lord. |
| 577 | * ActuallyPrettyFunny: When Ember copies his LargeHam shouting, telling the other dragons to "AGREE WITH [TORCH]!" and then says she's kidding and not planning to make that her thing, Torch lets out a loud laugh. |
| 578 | * ArmoredDragons: Always seen wearing black plate armor in current times. |
| 579 | * AwesomeAussie: Talks with a hint of an inexplicably Australian accent. Being the largest and most powerful dragon seen on the show, the "awesome" part is obvious. |
| 580 | * BoyfriendBlockingDad: According to Garble, he would ''eat'' anyone who has any thoughts about Ember. But since this is [[TeensAreMonsters Garble]], who hates Spike with a passion, who said it, [[UnreliableExpositor he could just have been trying to scare him]]. |
| 581 | * BreathWeapon: Naturally, as a dragon, he can breathe fire, and fitting his size and name, his breath weapon is quite the impressive torrent of scorching flames. |
| 582 | * TheCameo: |
| 583 | ** He makes a small appearance in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E1CelestialAdvice the Season 7 premiere]], being ridden by Starlight in Twilight's fantasy. |
| 584 | ** An ambiguous example in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E16CampfireTales Campfire Tales]]". One of the dragons in Flash Magnus's story very greatly resembles a pre-Dragon Lord Torch sans armor or crown. If it really is him, his presence in a story set centuries or more in the past is justified by the long lifespans of dragons. He seems smaller than the current Torch, but again this could easily be explained by the StrongerWithAge trope. |
| 585 | * GiganticAdultsTinyBabies: Dragon Lord Torch is almost as tall as a mountain, whereas his daughter Ember is maybe twice as tall as Spike. |
| 586 | * HappinessIsMandatory: When Torch wants you to feel a particular emotion, he will let you know it, and you will [[SarcasmMode spontaneously and sincerely]] feel that emotion. |
| 587 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Is extremely loud and demanding, but also a ReasonableAuthorityFigure with a SoProudOfYou mindset toward his daughter, Ember. |
| 588 | * LargeAndInCharge: Torch is the leader of the dragons, and by far the biggest dragon in the Dragon Lands. [[https://derpibooru.org/1154012 He's close in size]] to the humongous Ursa Major. |
| 589 | * LargeHam: He says just about everything at the top of his lungs. And if his subjects aren't emoting the way he wants, he is not shy about letting them know. |
| 590 | -->'''Torch: ''BE SAD!''''' |
| 591 | * NoIndoorVoice: Let's just say that Torch ''really'' likes shouting. |
| 592 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: If it is indeed him in Flash Magnus's flashback from "Campfire Tales" and not a similar-looking dragon, then Torch is much more than a millennia old -- which wouldn't be that surprising for a dragon. Note that this could make him potentially even older than Celestia and Luna. |
| 593 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Torch is willing to let Spike leave (and later return) without incident after Spike puts up a decent argument both times, and ignores the other dragons when they laugh at the idea of him competing, just warning that ''all'' dragons compete at their own peril. While he initially forbids Ember from competing in the Gauntlet of Fire because he thinks she isn't a "big, strong" dragon and thus can't win, when she competes anyway and wins he's angry with her, but backs down when she points out she still won, proving that strength and size isn't everything. Finally, while the other dragons openly hate ponies, Torch doesn't vocalize the same hatred and doesn't seem to have caused any trouble for Equestria during his reign. |
| 594 | * RentAZilla: Torch is the largest dragon yet. For comparison, ''individual phalanges'' of his claws are twice the size of princess Ember, who herself is taller than most ponies. The episode even lampshades this. |
| 595 | -->'''Torch:''' He ''is'' rather tiny. I could squash him with my pinky claw. \ |
| 596 | '''Spike:''' [nervous laugh]\ |
| 597 | '''Torch:''' That wasn't a joke, it was a fact. |
| 598 | * SinkOrSwimMentor: In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS9E9SweetAndSmoky Sweet and Soky]]", Ember mentions that Torch gave her very little information regarding the duties of the Dragon Lord. |
| 599 | -->'''Ember:''' It's kind of a "burn or be burned" job. |
| 600 | * SoProudOfYou: After getting over the fact that his daughter Ember participated in the contest against his wishes, Torch acknowledges that she has the strength and wisdom to be an excellent leader. |
| 601 | * StrongerWithAge: His cameo in "Campfire Tales" (if it's him, which is likely) portrays Torch as much smaller in Flash Magnus's time. He's still a huge dragon in comparison to pegasi, but not as humongous as in the present day. This would be easily explained by this trope, as dragons in fantasy are often expected to grow bigger and bigger as they age. |
| 602 | * YourSizeMayVary: Torch initially appears to be [[https://derpibooru.org/1131857 quite colossal]]; the rest of the dragons, themselves generally taller than the average pony, barely take up space in the palm of his hand and are slightly smaller than one of his eyeballs. However, in [[https://derpibooru.org/1133257 one scene]] in the same episode he debuts in, he's shrunken down to a degree that the other dragons are about as tall as his snout, and in a [[https://derpibooru.org/1411985 cameo]] in a later episode he's shrunken further so that his head is the size of one of the smaller dragons. |

| 648 | * BigOlEyebrows: Like her father, she sports rather bushy eyebrows. |
| 649 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Plaid Stripes is an eccentric who comes up with impractical ideas. |
| 650 | * DaddysGirl: Her father basically forces Rarity to hire her, and when Applejack turns down her idea of "spoon clothes," she goes right to him, and he wastes no time giving Applejack an earful. |

| 666 | The host at the Tasty Treat, an exotic restaurant in Canterlot that's fallen on hard times. He's very bitter about his restaurant's ill luck and wants to throw in the towel and close up shop, something that brings him in conflict with his daughter, who wants to try and keep it open. |

| 668 | * AlliterativeName: '''C'''oriander '''C'''umin. |
| 669 | * BigOlEyebrows: His eyebrows are very noticeably thick and bushy. |
| 670 | * TheCynic: He's very bitter and pessimistic about the bad luck and financial difficulties the Tasty Treat has gone through, and it's clear he doesn't expect it to remain in business for much longer. |
| 671 | * EpiphanyTherapy: He gets one after Saffron cooks a spicy flat noodle soup to cheer him up after the failed attempt with Zesty Gourmand. The memories of cooking it for her and cooking together overall helps him snap out of his cynic funk. |
| 672 | * FantasyCounterpartCulture: He's very clearly meant to the pony equivalent of Indian. |
| 673 | * HeCleansUpNicely: Rarity forces him to wear a modern waiter ensemble complete with a groomed mane and moustache to impress Zesty Gourmand. He reverts to his traditional clothing and manestyle later. |
| 674 | * MeaningfulName: He's named after two spices typical of Indian cooking, appropriately for his job at a FantasyCounterpartCulture Indian restaurant. |

| 685 | * BackForTheFinale: She appears in "The Last Problem" during "The Magic of Friendship Grows". |
| 686 | * FantasyCounterpartCulture: Like her father, she's very clearly Indian. |
| 687 | * MeaningfulName: Saffron is a spice common in Indian cooking (with her cutie mark being a purple crocus flower, whose stamens are where saffron comes from), and masala is a general name for any mix of spices in Indian cuisine. A good name for a chef at a FantasyCounterpartCulture Indian restaurant. |
| 688 | * MissingMom: Her mother is neither seen nor referred to in the entirety of her and Coriander's appearance. |
| 689 | * NiceGirl: In contrast to her father, Saffron is cordial to others and remains optimistic that the Tasty Treat can survive. Of course, her patience can't help but be tested by Coriander Cumin's cynicism. |
| 690 | * QuirkyCurls: Her mane and tail are voluminous and full of curls, and she wants to keep her family's restaurant exotic and unique. |

| 700 | A talented rookie in the Wonderbolt cadet camp, Sky Stinger is proud, brash and absolutely confident in his flying abilities and chances of becoming a Wonderbolt -- even though his confidence may be more than a bit misplaced. |
| 701 | ---- |
| 702 | * AlliterativeName: '''S'''ky '''S'''tinger. |
| 703 | * AsleepInClass: Falls asleep while in Twilight's flying theory class -- partly because of his belief he doesn't need what the class teaches, partly because Twilight's lectures seem to have that effect on people. |
| 704 | * BrilliantButLazy: Deconstructed. His technical skill and strong self-confidence has led him to believe that he's past the point of needing to train his wings or work on the fundamentals -- [[spoiler:what he doesn't realize is that this has left him physically weak and totally reliant on Vapor Trail's (secret) help to get the speed and lift he needs to perform his advanced techniques in the first place.]] |
| 705 | * TheCameo: Alongside Vapor Trail, he appears in the background of a couple of shots in the Wonderbolt headquarters in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E7ParentalGlideance Parental Glideance]]" and "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E23SecretsAndPies Secrets and Pies]]". |
| 706 | * FreudianExcuse: His grandstanding and attention-seeking personality is due at least in part to having grown up as one of several siblings, constantly competing for their parents' attention. |
| 707 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He is snarky and full of himself, but he genuinely cares for Vapor Trail. |
| 708 | * MiddleChildSyndrome: Since he's the middle child in a family with four sisters, two older, two younger, getting attention from his parents was pretty... difficult. |
| 709 | * PlatonicLifePartners: With Vapor Trail. They have been friends since their childhoods and their friendship seems to be the most important bond in their lives, though there is nothing to indicate any sort of sexual attraction between them. |
| 710 | * WeakButSkilled: Played with. He has a lot of confidence and skill when performing advanced aerial tricks, [[spoiler: but unbeknownst to him, he lacks the wingpower and basic physical strength to do them without Vapor Trail secretly giving him a boost.

| 722 | * FreudianExcuse: Her retiring personality and aversion to the spotlight seem to be due, at least in part, to her being an only child constantly fussed and fawned over by her parents whether she wanted to be or not. |
| 723 | * GoshDarnItToHeck: When Vapor Trail accidentally confesses to Twilight and Rainbow that she's been helping Sky with his flight, she quietly exclaims "Ah, sugarcubes!" |
| 724 | * NiceGirl: Vapor is shown to have a very polite personality. |
| 725 | * OhCrap: When Rainbow announces that the Wonderbolt cadets will have to go through solo trials, since she’s not very confident in her ability to fly well on her own [[spoiler: and since she knows that Sky Stinger will do badly without her helping him]]. |
| 726 | * PlatonicLifePartners: With Sky Stinger. They have been friends since their childhoods and their friendship seems to be the most important bond in their lives, though there is nothing to indicate any sort of sexual attraction between them. |
| 727 | * ProperlyParanoid: Her belief that Sky Stinger would take badly to being told that [[spoiler: his "talent" depended entirely on the help Vapor has been giving him on the sly]] and that revealing this to him would be a bad idea proved to be entirely correct. |
| 728 | * ShrinkingViolet: Downplayed. She has confidence issues and doesn't like attention. However, she seems to step out of it when the situation calls for it; for example, [[spoiler:she tells Sky Stinger the truth about his flying rather bluntly once coerced, and has no problem holding a grudge against him in later scenes for how he yelled at her]], both things we rarely if ever see characters like Fluttershy doing. |
| 729 | * UnskilledButStrong: She lacks the confidence and experience to perform advanced flying techniques, [[spoiler:partly because she's been solely focused on secretly generating powerful gusts of air to boost Sky Stinger's performance. After getting private lessons from Rainbow Dash (and some pointers from Sky Stinger) she becomes StrongAndSkilled]]. |

| 743 | * TheCharmer: Played with. He can try and charm a pony as much as he wants, and he's certainly popular with the ladies, but he can't talk to girls at all (although the CMC start helping him with that). |
| 744 | * ChickMagnet: Until the musical number, Sugar Belle doesn't dislike him, Sweetie Belle is implied to have a PrecociousCrush on him and, even if he loses to Big Mac, the Crusaders remind him that he has a trio of fangirls obsessed with him. |
| 745 | * DidNotGetTheGirl: ZigZaggedTrope. Sugar Belle chooses Big Mac, but any of his three fangirls would be happy to replace her. |

| 813 | * DoesNotLikeSpam: She doesn't just like strawberries much better than apples, but considers apples to be tastless and a home for worms. |
| 814 | * {{Jerkass}}: Strawberry Sunrise's only scene in "Honest Apple" is of her mocking apples in front of Applejack and then "apologize" for Applejack actually eating them. |

| 861 | |
| 862 | Thorax's elder brood-mate, Pharynx is the last changeling in the hive to be unhappy with their new lifestyle and to maintain his old natural form, leading to friction with his brother and the rest of his hive. |
| 863 | ---- |
| 864 | * BackForTheFinale: He appears to take part in the final battle and later attends Twilight's coronation in the series finale. He also appears during "The Magic of Friendship Grows". |
| 865 | * BigBrotherBully: Pharynx was one to Thorax when they were grubs, smacking Thorax and calling him weak. That said, he still kept other grubs from picking on Thorax, and seemed to consider picking on his brother necessary to toughen him up. |
| 866 | * BigBrotherInstinct: He may be a BigBrotherBully, but, as shown in a flashback, he's also protective of his younger brother and doesn't take kindly to other changelings picking on him. [[spoiler:Starlight actually tries to exploit this side of him in order to show the other changelings his good side and get them to accept him.]] |
| 867 | * BigCreepyCrawlies: In addition to naturally being a large insectoid creature as a changeling, he also shows a preference for taking a massive form resembling a cross between a spider, a fly and a tank when he needs to fight or intimidate someone else. |
| 868 | * BrutalHonesty: Part of Pharynx's abrasive personality is that he never minces his words and says exactly what's on his mind. It's a stark contrast to his more diplomatic brother. |
| 869 | * TheCameo: |
| 870 | ** He makes a nonspeaking appearance in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E2SchoolDazePart2 School Daze – Part 2]]", when Fluttershy visits the Changeling Kingdom to tell Thorax that the friendship school is reopening. |
| 871 | ** He is briefly seen in the special ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyBestGiftEver'', taking part in the Hearth's Warming Eve celebrations with the rest of the changelings. |
| 872 | * DarkIsNotEvil: He's RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver [[spoiler:in both forms]]... but also a JerkWithAHeartOfGold instead of a villain. |
| 873 | * GoodColorsEvilColors: Zigzagged. He has the standard black with an even darker shade, as well as red and purple, and he's certainly more aggressive than the others, but he is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold. [[spoiler:He still keeps the color scheme after he evolves]]. |
| 874 | * HypocriticalHeartwarming: Of the "no one bullies my brother but me" variety. A flashback shows him scaring away some bullies who were picking on Thorax, only to pull the StopHittingYourself trope on Thorax and telling him he still needs to toughen up. |
| 875 | * JerkassHasAPoint: As rough as Pharynx is, he is right that the changelings have become far too soft ever since Thorax assumed leadership, cowering and being unable to protect themselves from outside threats. |
| 876 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Pharynx is a bully and prefers the old ways of Chrysalis, but he does care about Thorax and the Hive and wants to protect them. He is concerned that their more peaceful lifestyle has made them incapable of fending for themselves. |
| 877 | * KlingonScientistsGetNoRespect: Inverted; he's a warrior from a currently pacifistic race who gets no respect. [[spoiler:The Changelings learn to heed his wisdom after the Maulwurf attack.]] |
| 878 | * LargeAndInCharge: [[spoiler:Befitting his post-transformation position in charge of the hive's defense, he's much taller and larger than the other changelings, second only to Thorax.]] |
| 879 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: Before [[spoiler:his transformation]] -- and even during Chrysalis's rule -- Pharynx's purple/red color scheme made him stand out from the other changelings' standard blue/cyan, and was seemingly the only changeling look like so. He also had a slightly darker chitin as well. Afterwards, he gains another unique design, [[spoiler:halfway between Thorax and the other standard changelings in height and antler size]]. |
| 880 | * PurpleIsPowerful; He has purple eyes and a purple carapace, and is more aggressive and warrior like than the others. [[spoiler:He retains them after he evolves, and their regal color reflects his new status as the prince of the hive and Thorax's NumberTwo]]. |
| 881 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: |
| 882 | ** Pharynx retains the changelings' original black exoskeleton, has a red dorsal fin and tail, and is the TokenEvilTeammate of the changelings under Thorax's leadership. |
| 883 | ** [[spoiler:After his transformation, he retains a comparatively dark color scheme to other changelings, dark blue and purple with dark orange accents. He is reformed at this point, but is perhaps still the least soft of the new changelings.]] |
| 884 | * TheRemnant: He is the last of the rogue changelings who won't accept Thorax's reforms to the hive, who in turn were the last changelings who kept to the lifestyle they used to when Chrysalis was in charge. |
| 885 | * SiblingRivalry: Despite being brothers, Thorax and Pharynx are strongly at odds with each other over their clashing ideals. |
| 886 | * StopHittingYourself: Pharynx used to do this to Thorax when they were grubs, smacking Thorax in the face with the latter's hoof and asking him why he was hitting himself. This later [[spoiler:turns out to be the trick to defeating the Maulwurf -- since the only thing that can hurt it through its thick hide are its own attacks, Thorax and Pharynx goad it into slapping and biting itself by hovering next to it or standing on it and dodging before it can hit them]]. Pharynx explicitly brings up his childhood habit of doing this when he comes up with the plan. |
| 887 | * ToughLove: Pharynx honestly cares for his younger brother: his antagonism towards him, even when they were still grubs, is motivated by the fact that he honestly believes Thorax needs to toughen up for his own good. |
| 888 | * WarriorPrince: He is more warrior like than the others, and as the brother of the current king, he is technically the prince. [[spoiler:Once he evolves, his new look reflects this status]]. |

He was present as a background character for most of the show's run, but made his first full appearance in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E22MarksAndRecreation Marks and Recreation]]", where he goes on an anti-cutie mark crusade due to his belief that getting a cutie mark forces you in a box and limits your options in life without you getting a say in it. |
| 899 | ---- |
| 900 | * TheAce: He's a skilled and strong flyer, unsurprisingly, and according to Thunderlane, he excels at a variety of other activities as well, though he [[WillfullyWeak deliberately downplays them]] in favor of focusing on flying due to his fear that if he doesn't get a flying cutie mark he can't become a Wonderbolt like Thunderlane is. |
| 901 | * AntiVillain: In "Marks and Recreations", he is the Villain in Name Only type. His only reason to be against the Cutie Mark Crusaders is his fear of getting a cutie mark that wouldn't involve being a Wonderbolt and thus, be unable to become one. As a result, he decides to spread his belief to the Cutie Mark Day Camp campers, which lures them away from the camp. Thankfully, his brother, Thunderlane, shows him that he doesn't need to just do what Wonderbolts do to get that type of cutie mark and thus, quickly rejoins the Cutie Mark Crusader's camp. |
| 902 | * AscendedExtra: Originally, he was a fairly minor background character with all of one spoken line in the show's second season. That was about the extent of his character until "Marks and Recreation", where he became the primary antagonist and had his character and relationships with other characters greatly expanded. |
| 903 | * BackForTheFinale: In "The Last Problem", Rumble can be seen with the other chef ponies preparing the food for Twilight's coronation. |
| 904 | * BadassArmfold: In "Marks and Recreation", [[https://derpibooru.org/1531683 he does one]] just before barging into the CMC's day camp and pied pipering away the other colts and fillies. |
| 905 | * BigBrotherWorship: It turns out Rumble wants to be just like his big brother Thunderlane. He's been avoiding doing new things ever since Thunderlane became a Wonderbolt because he is afraid he'll get a mark that will prevent him from becoming a Wonderbolt himself. |
| 906 | * BlessedWithSuck: Rumble's view on cutie marks, believing that getting one will force him to do nothing but activities related to his special talent and stop doing other things he enjoys, or frustrating his dream to become a Wonderbolt. In the end, he realizes he was wrong. |
| 907 | * ChildProdigy: Rumble participates in the tornado making as a little colt. He's also able to start a pro-blank flank movement through sheer force of charisma. |
| 908 | * CulturalRebel: In "Marks and Recreation", he's against the idea that you need to get a Cutie Mark, and believes that it is in fact better not to have one at all. |
| 909 | * DeathGlare: He [[https://derpibooru.org/1544494?q=rumble gives a fierce one]] to the Crusaders when he tells them he doesn't want a Cutie Mark. |
| 910 | * DreamCrushingHandicap: Related with the above BlessedWithSuck, Rumble wants nothing in life but becoming a Wonderbolt, and fears getting a cutie mark that will stop him from pursuing his dream. |
| 911 | %% Dude Looks Like A Lady is In-Universe Examples Only. |
| 912 | * GoalInLife: Rumble wants to be a Wonderbolt like his big brother Thunderlane, but is afraid that if he gets an unfitting cutie mark, it will lock him out of becoming one. |
| 913 | * GrowingUpSucks: In a sense. In "Marks and Recreation", he doesn't seem opposed to growing up in general -- he's specifically against getting cutie marks and (as he sees it) being forced onto one path in life defined by your special talent. |
| 914 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: Rumble's face has the standard filly shape, rather than the blockier snout of other colts. |
| 915 | * TookALevelInCynic: Between his first and second speaking roles, he goes from being a content colt in the background to being a philosophical enemy of the CMC. |
| 916 | * TookALevelInJerkass: He was just Thunderlane's little brother in "Hurricane Fluttershy", but by "Marks and Recreation" he has become more openly hostile to the CMC and cutie marks in general. [[JerkassRealization He gets better.]] |
| 917 | * VocalEvolution: In "Hurricane Fluttershy," Rumble has a very young, innocent-sounding voice. In "Marks and Recreation," he has a deeper, more brash voice. |
| 918 | * YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: He tells (and sings) this to the colts and fillies at the Cutie Mark camp, assuring them that they don't have to have their cutie marks limit them to a sole identity, and that they can be whatever they want. |

| 930 | * BackForTheFinale: He makes a small appearance in the GrandFinale witnessing Twilight's coronation. |

| 933 | * NiceGuy: Despite his habit of getting uncomfortably close to Twilight, he is a genuinely decent colt, thanking her for letting him be an honorary member of her family. He even stands up to Iron Will for her. |

After losing her temper, she accidentally steps on his hoof and gives him a BackhandedApology. However, she later apologizes to him for real when she admits she was just as wrong to keep quiet about her discomfort before snapping at him. |

| 937 | * StalkerWithoutACrush: He gets very close to Twilight, and is clearly devoted to her, but he shows no signs of any romantic interest in her. He's just a very big fan. |

| 968 | Starlight's dad. Firelight is dedicated to preserving his hometown's heritage as thoroughly as possible, and has a tendency to excessively baby his daughter. |
| 969 | ---- |
| 970 | * AlwaysAChildToParent: Firelight still treats Starlight as though she were a filly, including BabyTalk in public. |
| 971 | * AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: He constantly treats Starlight like she's still a foal, calling her cutesy pet names in public and refusing to let her talk to strangers, to his daughter's intense embarrassment and irritation. |
| 972 | * BackForTheFinale: He returns in the GrandFinale hiding in Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns and later helping out in the final battle. |
| 973 | * BaitAndSwitchBoss: Subverted. At first, the episode's conflict seems to be between him and Stellar Flare. However, they are able to resolve their differences quickly and painlessly. The true conflict is between them and their children. |
| 974 | * EmbarrassingNickname: He constantly refers to his daughter by cutesy pet names fit for a small filly, not a grown mare. Starlight is understandably highly embarrassed when her dad calls her things like "pumpky-wumpkin" and "sugarplum" in public. |
| 975 | -->'''Firelight:''' Oh, just a father wanting to preserve our town's rich history for his little pumpky-wumpkin!\ |

| 979 | * FreudianExcuse: His constant babying of his daughter originates from his awareness of how hard life was for Starlight after she left home and his desire for her to feel safe, like she was when she was young. |
| 980 | * GenerationXerox: Firelight is obsessed with the past, has difficulty accepting that his relationship with his daughter has changed, and wants to preserve his town exactly as it is. His daughter Starlight [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E26TheCutieRemarkPart2 was obsessed with a moment from her own past]], [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E24UncommonBond had difficulty accepting that her relationship with Sunburst had changed, and tried to use magic to preserve it exactly as it had been]]. |
| 981 | * MadeMyselfSad: After getting chewed out by Starlight, he walks away, seemingly irritated and annoyed. When Starlight visits him later, he starts out cold and detached, but quickly tears up the further he goes. |

| 995 | ---- |
| 996 | * AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: She treats Sunburst as if he can't take care of himself without her to meticulously guide him, planning out everything for him with little to no input from her son, much to her son's humiliation. |
| 997 | * AscendedExtra: She first appears in a few cameos in the Season 5 finale and the Season 6 premiere, and has her first major role in the eighth season. |

| 1008 | * MyBelovedSmother: She's extremely domineering towards her son, meticulously planning out every part of his life under the assumption that she can manage his business better than he can to the point where she's essentially living out his life for him. |

| 1037 | * AwesomeAussie: Played with, as there is no Australia in Equestria, but Rolling Thunder is portrayed with a strong Australian accent, and she's an adrenaline junkie who claims to have been kicked out of the Wonderbolts for doing barrel rolls amid a powerful lightning storm. |
| 1038 | * CoolScars: She has two over her left eye, to visually emphasize her daredevil and thrill-seeking nature. |
| 1039 | * FeatherFingers: She does this to a particularly noticeable degree even by the show's usual standards; she gesticulates with her primaries as if they were fingers when she talks, and casually uses one wing to bandage up her leg. |
| 1040 | * NiceGirl: The nicest of her team. Lightning Dust is rather amoral, and Short Fuse has a short temper, while she is fairly nice. |

| 1076 | * BurningWithAnger: Like all other Kirin, when her rage reaches a certain point, she transforms into a Nirik, a SuperPoweredEvilSide of the Kirin. However, because Autumn is much more balanced and in control of her emotions, she doesn't lose control of herself when she transforms. |
| 1077 | * CatharticScream: When Autumn gets frustrated trying to decipher the hoof signals of her fellow Kirin, she walks behind a rock and screams with a burst of Nirik flames accompanying it. |
| 1078 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She's not all there due to having spent years alone, frequently jumping from one topic to the next. She also frequently talks to {{Companion Cube}}s, like her own shadow or a hoof puppet. |
| 1079 | * CompanionCube: She's collected a number of these to keep herself company over her years of exile, including a group of vegetables with faces painted on them, her right hoof and her own shadow, which she calls Silhouette Gloom of the Sundown Lands. |
| 1080 | * {{Determinator}}: She searched for the Foal's Breath seventy-three and a half times, and still believed that second half of the seventy-fourth try to find it might make a difference. |
| 1081 | * ElectiveMute: For a while. She hated it after a time, so she ended up finding a cure for her silence. |
| 1082 | * TheExile: She chose to leave the Kirin village rather than lose her voice a second time. |
| 1083 | * FunPersonified: She loves writing plays, doing stand-up comedy, telling jokes, and generally making people laugh. It's why losing her ability to feel emotion was so hard on her. |
| 1084 | * TheGadfly: When she first meets Applejack, Autumn pretends to be an ElectiveMute like every other kirin, but then laughs and admits that she was just messing with her. |
| 1085 | * GenkiGirl: Her high-energy, bubbly, happy spirit, combined with her MotorMouth tendencies, could give ''Pinkie Pie'' a run for her bits. |

| 1087 | * {{Kirin}}: An equine with dragon-like features, including scales across her body and a single horn; she's able to cast magic like a unicorn and her horn has chevrons that glow when she does so. Also, she has the ability to transform into a Nirik. |
| 1088 | * LargeHam: A shoo-in for any ChewingTheScenery contest. |
| 1089 | * MotorMouth: She has become this due to years of being silent. Whenever she talks, she tends to talk as much as she can, and even asks others to do the same. |
| 1090 | * MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: She found a cure for the magical silence, but was forced into a SadisticChoice when the other Kirin didn't approve. |
| 1091 | * NiceGirl: She's a total sweetheart with a deep spiritual appreciation for nature. |
| 1092 | * NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Another result of her long period of solitude, and her sheer joy at finally having someone to talk to; while singing her song, she grabs Applejack's face, stretching it into a smile, then forcing it into a frown. |
| 1093 | * PartialTransformation: When she is frustrated over not being able to understand another Kirin, she gains the flames on her mane and eyebrows, BlankWhiteEyes, and [[FangsAreEvil fangs]] from her Nirik form, but is able to rein in her temper to prevent herself from going further. |
| 1094 | * PlayingWithFire: Even outside of her Nirik form, she can summon blue and red flames. |
| 1095 | * PurpleProse: Invoked by her while she and Applejack are enjoying the view outside her home. |

That we are a part of the everything. That maybe there's just one thing and we are ''all'' it. |
| 1097 | * SenseLossSadness: Although on board with the silence plan at first, she came to hate not being able to talk or feel emotion. Luckily, she found a cure in foal's breath flowers. |
| 1098 | * SuperPoweredEvilSide: Subverted. While she can transform into a Nirik like all other members of her species, she's much more in control of herself, and as a result, capable of turning into a Nirik without letting it corrupt her. |
| 1099 | * VibrantOrange: She has a moderate tangelo mane and tail, and is extremely talkative, excitable, and sings very theatrically. |
| 1100 | * VoiceOfTheLegion: While in her Nirik form, Autumn speaks with a distorted voice. |
| 1101 | * YouSayTomato: When Autumn meets Applejack, she admits there are a few words that she has trouble pronouncing because of how little she uses them. |

| 1111 | The leader of the Kirin who passed the law to make her kind silent. |
| 1112 | ---- |
| 1113 | * BackForTheFinale: She appears in the GrandFinale to take part in the FinalBattle of Equestria. |
| 1114 | * ElectiveMute: Moreso than any other Kirin, as it was her idea for them to all step into the Stream of Silence in order to remove their voices and emotions. |
| 1115 | * GoodIsNotSoft: Her desire to protect the Kirin from their village being destroyed was enough for her to banish Autumn Blaze from the village when she chose to keep her voice. |
| 1116 | * InformedAbility: She's stated by Autumn Blaze to have a beautiful singing voice, though we never actually get to see or hear her sing. |
| 1117 | * {{Kirin}}: Just like her species. She's also the leader. |
| 1118 | * LargeAndInCharge: As is common for leader figures in the show, she's much taller than any other Kirin in her village. |
| 1119 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: While the other kirin have the same shape and height, Rain Shine is the tallest out of all of them and shares Princess Celestia's body type. |
| 1120 | * SadisticChoice: After the other Kirin got annoyed with Autumn Blaze's talkative nature, Rain Shine gave her an ultimatum: stay silent and remain in the village, or keep her voice and be banished to the forest. Autumn chose the latter. |
| 1121 | * SuddenlySpeaking: She spends a whole amount of the episode being quiet all the time, but when Autumn Blaze concocts the antidote to reverse the silence, she starts speaking again. |
| 1122 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: After her people's village was burned down after an argument spiraled out of control, she decided that that the best solution was to eliminate talking altogether. |

| 1132 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Asia Mattu (Aurora), Alison Wandzura (Bori), Meaghan Hommy (Alice) |
| 1133 | |
| 1134 | A trio of reindeer who live in the far north and oversee the process of gifting itself. They are the elderly Aurora -- who can see into the past -- the youthful Alice -- who can see into the future -- and the matronly Bori -- who keeps her mind in the present and the other two grounded. |
| 1135 | ---- |
| 1136 | * ColorCodedWizardry: Like unicorns, their magic has unique colors; Aurora's is blue, Bori's is pink, and Alice's is green. |
| 1137 | * {{Flight}}: Much like Santa's reindeer, they can fly by running through the air, leaving a glowing trail in their wake. |
| 1138 | * TheHecateSisters: Aurora, the elderly Crone, knows about all gifts given in the past. Alice, the youthful Maiden, sees the future and knows of gifts yet to be given. Bori, the Mother, stays in the moment and keeps her sisters in line. They also serve as Equestria's equivalents of SantaClaus. |
| 1139 | * ItMayHelpYouOnYourQuest: Alice gives Pinkie a seemingly random gift and only tells her that she'll understand when the time comes. The gift turns out to be the exact ingredients necessary to neutralize the stuff Flurry added to the pudding. |
| 1140 | * TheMarvelousDeer: Magical, talking reindeer with psychic abilities. |
| 1141 | * MindOverMatter: They manipulate objects through telekinesis like unicorns (or Kirin), and their antlers glow when they use their magic. |
| 1142 | * OhMyGods: When Pinkie arrives at the Gift Givers' cottage, Aurora greets her with a cranky "By Blitzen's beard! It took you long enough!"[[note]]Blitzen is one of Santa Claus' reindeer, if you wonder.[[/note]] |
| 1143 | * PunnyName: Their names, Aurora, Bori and Alice, are a play on the technical name for the Northern Lights -- the aurora borealis. |
| 1144 | * PseudoSanta: For all intents and purposes, they're Equestria's Santa equivalent. They're reindeer who can run through the air, they oversee and specialize around gift-giving, and they live in a cottage at the extreme north of the world -- they're essentially Santa if he was his reindeer instead. |
| 1145 | * {{Seers}}: Aurora and Alice are two complimentary types -- Aurora sees into the past and knows about gifts that were given, while Alice sees into the future and knows about gifts that have yet to be given. |
| 1146 | * TeamMom: Bori. Due to "staying in the moment", she's the one who keeps her sisters focused on the present. |
| 1147 | * WhiteTailedReindeer: They lack most of the heavy build and extra fur that reindeer are normally supposed to have in real life, though this could be some artistic liberties trying to make them all look more feminine. With that said, they are also downplayed examples in that they are depicted with antlers like real female reindeer, and paired nostrils instead of black dog-like noses other cartoon reindeer have. |

| 1190 | * ExpositoryHairstyleChange: She is first seen in Twilight's {{Flashback}} with a long and well-groomed mane, indicating her desire for perfection and organisation.

| 1206 | * MeaningfulName: ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Folio First Folio]]'' is the more common name for ''Mr. Creator/WilliamShakespeare's Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies'', a collection of Shakespeare's plays that was published seven years after his death. More specifically, the term "folio" refers to arranging sheets of paper into book form, fitting with First Folio's job at a library. |
| 1207 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: As oppressive as the name of her office sounds, First Folio turns out to be one of these. She only charges Twilight a month's worth of late fees for an overdue book, puts Twilight's account back in good standing once she pays, and allows her to keep the book because the library has had a more recent edition for a while. |
| 1208 | * RightForTheWrongReasons: First Folio believes that Dusty Pages was forced to leave the library because of Twilight's long-overdue book. When Twilight gets the full story, it turns out that while Dusty leaving the library was related to Twilight's forgotten book, she left on her own accord. |

| 1225 | * ParentWithNewParamour: She is no longer with Wind Sprint's father (for reasons unknown), and has started a relationship with Quibble. |
| 1226 | * SarcasmMode: When Quibble admits that he isn't "all that sporty", Clear Sky says "No!" with false horror. |
| 1227 | * SickeninglySweethearts: She and Quibble Pants are very loving and affectionate with each other, to the point where Wind Sprint sticks out her tongue in disgust after the two rub noses. |

| 1239 | * DisappearedDad: Her father, due to reasons unknown, is no longer around. The main reason why she is so resistant to Quibble is the preconception that he is supposed to be her father's replacement. |
| 1240 | * {{Fangirl}}: For Rainbow Dash. When she realizes she's ''the'' Rainbow Dash of the Wonderbolts, her mood immediately picks up. |

| 1243 | * LittleMissSnarker: Makes the occasional quip in response to Quibble's attempts to impress her. |
| 1244 | * MeaningfulName: Her name is fitting for a pony with a love of sports and athleticism since it's also a name for a form of exercise that consists of alternating between walking, slow running, and fast running. |
| 1245 | * MetaCasting: Alice Oswalt, Patton Oswalt's real-life daughter, plays his character's prospective stepdaughter. |
| 1246 | * PassionateSportsGirl: She's a fan of buckball, and while playing in the match Quibble arranges against the Ponyville team, manages to kick a large number of balls into a single basket, one after the other. It's implied she takes after her father in this regard. |
| 1247 | * TheResenter: The reason Wind dislikes Quibble isn't because of his lack of sportiness, but because she thinks he’s trying to take her father's place. |

They are shown to care for their daughter but are usually gone due to their jobs and rarely seem to see their daughter; infact they did not visit her or check in on her at all after various threats from villains or otherwise to the area she lived nearly destroyed her town and killed her. They did, however, attempt to take her to move in with them out of concern after Sombra's attack in the episode they show up in, albeit without asking her opinion first. |

| 1313 | * TheComicallySerious: He's a serious and borderline humorless pony working in comedy gag factory. |
| 1314 | * DullSurprise: Parodied. He rivals Maud in terms of deadpan wit and, barring a few changes of expressions (such as him widening his eyes when Pinkie tells him her idea for the squirting shirt), almost never changes expression throughout the episode. Even when Cheese says he's shutting the factory down, all Sans can say is "I too am horrified" while having a completely neutral expression. |
| 1315 | * LatexPerfection: When he first appears, he's wearing a flawless Cheese Sandwich mask that easily fools Pinkie. |
| 1316 | * MeaningfulName: His name means "without smile", which accurately describes the deadpan expression and flat tone he has for the bulk of the episode. |
| 1317 | * NotSoStoic: His stoic and dry air lasts until Cheese tells him a joke about laughing bird eggs hatching by "cracking up", at which point he bursts out laughing. |
| 1318 | * TheStoic: In sharp contrast to Cheese and Pinkie, Sans Smirk is an extremely dry and stoic person, his voice never leaving its flat, steady tone, his face never leaving its neutral expression and his approach to comedy being far more technical and methodical than Cheese's. An exception is made at the end, where Cheese's comedy routine is eventually able to coax a genuine smile out of him. |
| 1319 | * ThatMakesMeFeelAngry: When Cheese suggests that Pinkie goes home, Pinkie theatrically gasps with horror while Sans Smirk flatly informs her that he is also horrified by the news: |
| 1320 | -->'''Sans Smirk:''' ''[deadpan]'' I, too, am horrified. |
| 1321 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: His incredibly stoic behaviour, making laughing a difficult matter to him, and his very analytical approach to humor nearly makes Cheese Sandwich give up being a comedian, thinking he lost his ability to make ponies laugh (even though Sans did make positive remarks of Cheese's jokes). |
| 1322 | * VisualPun: His cutie mark is that of a wet blanket, which is precisely how his approach to the factory seems to be ruining Cheese's fun and enjoyment. |

| 1360 | A pegasus and earth pony duo whom the CMC come across while lost on the way to Appleloosa. |
| 1361 | ---- |
| 1362 | * AmbiguouslyRelated: Their interaction caused many to assume them siblings, [[https://derpibooru.org/2155835 but their relation was never specified even in the script. Jim Miller assumed them cousins]]. |
| 1363 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Spur has green eyes and a green mane. |
| 1364 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: Biscuit decided to take Spur's pet Bloofy to the Appleloosa fair, and enter him in a pet contest, despite Spur telling him Bloofy wasn't used to being around crowds. As Spur fears, having hundreds of ponies watching him causing Bloofy to panic... with [[BewareTheCuteOnes destructive results]]. |
| 1365 | * EdibleThemeNaming: Biscuit. |
| 1366 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: If they [[AmbiguouslyRelated are]] brother and sister, then Biscuit is the foolish sibling to Spur's responsible sibling, ignoring the warnings of Spur (who took care of Bloofy the most) to not take Bloofy to Appleloosa. |
| 1367 | * SiblingRivalry: While their exact relation to each other is never outright stated, they're first seen bickering like disgruntled siblings. |

| 1369 | * WhatTheHellHero: |
| 1370 | ** Despite the CMC telling her they'd be willing to provide Spur with advice, they immediately run off to enjoy the attractions once they get to the fair, something she is quick to call them out on later. |
| 1371 | ** Biscuit has a similar reaction when he finds out the "grown-up" ponies whose advice he followed are actually younger than he is. |

| 1380 | Twilight Sparkle's student in the future. She's a young unicorn who isn't quite sure if friendship is necessary. |
| 1381 | ---- |
| 1382 | * AgentScully: Luster is much like Twilight in the show's debut: not seeing why friendship is so important. She also dismisses Twilight's claims by saying that she broke apart from other members of the Mane Six. |
| 1383 | * AmbiguouslyRelated: There's been conflicting WordOfGod if she's the child of Starlight Glimmer and Sunburst. Writer Josh Haber [[https://twitter.com/joshhaber/status/1183263831394410496 heavily hints yes to the former]] (fitting their similar appearances and magical background) but director Jim Miller [[https://twitter.com/TheBiggestJim/status/1183424652057559040 disagrees]] (fitting them not showing relation when meeting and Luster's disregard of friendship despite Starlight and Sunburst being teachers in it) but saying it's up to fans to decide themselves. |
| 1384 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Has a gold mane and gold eyes. |
| 1385 | * ImNotHereToMakeFriends: Like Twilight in the pilot, she sees friendship as a waste of time and choosing to focus only on studying and hard work. |
| 1386 | * LastEpisodeNewCharacter: Her debut is in the show's GrandFinale. She serves as a FramingDevice for the WholeEpisodeFlashback. |
| 1387 | * MessyHair: Her mane and tail are noticeably rumpled, but she makes some effort to keep her mane under control by tying it back in a ponytail. |
| 1388 | * PinkMeansFeminine: Has a pink coat. |
| 1389 | * SupernaturalGoldEyes: Which represent her stellar appearance. |
| 1390 | * ThemeNaming: Just like Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer, her name references light and a time between day and night, though she has the light name first. |

| 1405 | * HereditaryRepublic: Being mayor of Hope Hollow runs in the family; Sunny's father was the mayor before him, and Sunny's grandfather was the mayor before him. |
| 1406 | * ItsAllMyFault: He blames himself for the citizens of Hope Hollow drifting apart following the loss of color, despite Petunia trying to tell him otherwise. |
| 1407 | * NiceGuy: A good-natured fella who genuinely cares for his town and wants to return it to its former glory. |
| 1408 | * VerbalBackspace: Sunny Skies tells the Mane Six that he'd be lost without Petunia... then quickly amends this by saying ''the town'' would be lost without her. |

| 1421 | * SarcasmBlind: When she's presenting the hotel room to the main characters, Rarity's comments on the terrible state of accommodations at the hotel fly right over Petunia's head, as she interprets her strained attempt at tact to be sincere. |
| 1422 | -->'''Rarity:''' ''[horrified]'' How rustic and charming...\ |
| 1423 | '''Petunia:''' Isn't it just? |
| 1424 | * UndyingLoyalty: To Sunny Skies. She stuck by his side for years even as he blamed himself for ruining Hope Hollow. It's for this reason Sunny chooses her to be his wife. |
