* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: On one hand, Pinkie Pie/Surprise is technically an ImaginaryFriend that developed into a NotSoImaginaryFriend and [[DemonicPossession possessed]] a [[VillainProtagonist sadistic-but-relatively-innocent filly,]] but then again, she’s helped bring joy to the world by being one of the nicest ponies around, throwing parties even for complete strangers, and saving Equestria by coincidentally being the [[TheChosenOne Element of Laughter.]]
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Clover and Princess Platinum, [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/105548/bodysnatching-for-fun-and-profit enough to get their own spin-off in fact.]]
