''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', and the whole ''[[Franchise/MyLittlePonyGeneration4 "G4"]]'' universe, for that matter, has a wide array of colorful, memorable characters. So many characters, we hardly know what to do with them all! So we've separated them by CastHerd. [[LamePunReaction Heh...]]

For classic G1 through G3.5 characters, as well as G4.5 characters, go to Characters/MyLittlePony. For characters from G5, see [[Characters/MyLittlePonyGeneration5 here]].
