1The characters of ''FanFic/{{Whispers}}'', a ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fanfic by Chrono_Ryono.
2
3[[folder:Protagonists]]
4!!Arcanus
5* BerserkButton: Mentioning his [[SpoiledBrat brothers]], disrespecting his mother or questioning his mentor. The former is enough to [[INeedAFreakingDrink drive him to accept the princess's offer of wine, something he attested moments earlier to have no taste for.]]
6* CuteBookworm: [[{{Expy}} Just like Twilight Sparkle]], although in this case his looks are given special attention by several characters including his own mother.
7* {{Expy}}: WordOfGod freely admits he is based almost entirely on Twilight Sparkle, with a bit of Fluttershy's self-image issues mixed in.
8* GenreBlind: He doesn't think much of ThePowerOfLove and ThePowerOfFriendship at first, despite living a setting built on them.
9* GenreSavvy: Apparently he's become this by spending most of his time with his nose in the books. He hasn't done much with it though, besides [[LampshadeHanging lampshading]] a [[spoiler:subverted]] case of InnocentInnuendo.
10* LoveAtFirstSight: The first time he sees Lady Stella Artois, and yes, his inner critic is ''very'' self-aware as to how cliche this is.
11* SociallyAwkwardHero
12* SquishyWizard
13* SuperSpeedReading: Stated to be a "cutie mark-powered super speed reader."
14* YouNeedToGetLaid: Celestia essentially issues a ''royal decree'' to this effect, although it's given a G-rated disguise: "to study the magic of love." [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Which doesn't resemble Twilight Sparkle's first character arc]] [[BlatantLies at all]].
15
16!!Moonthistle
17* ChivalrousPervert: She technically solicits a callmare (that she finds very attractive) and opts to do nothing with her, refusing to take advantage of a [[HookerWithAHeartOfGold poor single mother]]. She also states that, despite her libido, it's actually been awhile since she last got laid.
18* CrazyPrepared: She carries a saddlebag with her (including to formal events like a debutante ball) that seems to contain [[HiddenSupplies a wide array of tools and reagents]].
19-->''"Ever find thyself thinking 'gosh, this would be so much easier if I had a screwdriver?' [[LampshadeHanging I made a list."]]''
20* DeadpanSnarker
21* HiddenDepths: Drops her usual playful innuendos to perform a flawless SherlockScan in chapter 7.
22* MakingASplash: She attempts to cast a water spell in chapter 8 called [[ShoutOut Hydro Pump]].
23* RagsToRiches: It's implied that her family actually ''gambled'' their way into the ranks of nobility. This is possibly a reason why Aurora constantly belittles her.
24* SophisticatedAsHell
25* VitriolicBestBuds: With Aurora.
26
27!!Aurora Borealis
28* AlwaysSecondBest: Despite apparently having many accomplishments to her name, including being a senior student of Princess Celestia, she clearly feels this way toward [[AloofBigBrother her older sister Belphegor]].
29* DeadpanSnarker: Likes to play this way toward Moonthistle, although it rarely ends in her favor.
30* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: She seems to have developed one of these as a result of [[AlwaysSecondBest living in her sister's shadow]], and [[VitriolicBestBuds passive-aggressively directs it at Moonthistle]].
31* GloryDays: She used to be quite an athlete, to the point of having the fastest gallop in the kingdom and being known as the Red Mare (almost certainly a reference to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hare Red Hare]]). However, she insists she's "outgrown" such silly games and intends to pursue a career in academics.
32* PlayingWithFire: Hinted to be her special talent, and a powerful one at that. The fire she lights is almost strong enough to ''melt a fireplace poker.''
33* VitriolicBestBuds: With Moonthistle.
34
35!!Silvermane
36* ButLiquorIsQuicker: The reason she wound up pregnant with Arcanus (and possibly his brothers).
37* HighClassGlass
38* IncurableCoughOfDeath: Produces [[BloodFromTheMouth blood]] at one point.
39* SophisticatedAsHell: Being a Victorian-esque upper-middle class lady of taste doesn't preclude her from using such language as "laying it on thick," "bingo!" and referring to socialization as "mingling."
40
41!!Stella Artois
42* LoveAtFirstSight: Possibly. Arcanus' feelings were far more blatant, but the fact remains they were married by the next chapter.
43* ShoutOut: Her name refers to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stella_artois the beer]].
44* SophisticatedAsHell
45[[/folder]]
46
47[[folder:Antagonists]]
48!!Nightmare Moon
49* ActionPrologue: She appears in chapter 1 and is defeated in chapter 2, just like in the actual show.
50* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Her desperate last attempt at throwing Celestia off guard. It doesn't work.
51* DoomedByCanon
52* EvilIsNotAToy: She was created when Luna recklessly immersed herself in unstable dark magic.
53* GreenEyedMonster
54* VillainousBreakdown: Starts off a SmugSnake, but her calm facade begins to crack as Celestia pushes her buttons. She completely goes to pieces just before her defeat.
