    General 

  • Team Switzerland: As a realm of Neutrality, Solderègir exists to keep a balance between the evil Malrègnar and the benevolent Vertusia, whose ruling sovereigns are constantly in conflict with one another due to their clashing divine natures and philosophies. Solderègir makes sure that both Malrègnar and Vertusia never succeeds in destroying the other, as a world dominated by either good or evil would be disastrous for all.
  • True Neutral: In-Universe, the country is the realm of Neutrality for a reason, not taking sides between good and evil and rather trying to maintain their balance.
  • Western Zodiac: Libra, Variatrix of Solderegir and her Scions of Neutrality are all named after the zodiac.

Cozy Glow, School age (Vector by CrystalMagic6)
Click here to see Codexverse creator/co-writer/editor Brutalityinc's rendition of Cozy's possible true 'Super Demon Alicorn Goddess' form 

An notorious child prodigy, Cozy Glow (Her entry here) had infamously tried to take over Equestria as the 'Empress of Friendship', and had been one of the founding members of the 'League of Domination' with Tirek, Chrysalis and other villains and overlords. Although she had turned a new leaf (sort of), Cozy Glow remain one of the smartest and most dangerous beings alive, a fact which she would remind others and the world every now and then.


  • Ax-Crazy: Back when she was still a fully villain. She's mellowed out a bit after she went 'Neutral', though it still shows up every now and then.
  • The Ace: Nearly managed to (or actually DID) take over Equestria and the world by herself (or with allies), possesses enough mastery of magic to craft a ritual which could depower the land and become an Instant Expert at Alicorn magic, is skilled and knowledgeable in various other arts and subjects, is a consummate liar, expert manipulator, all-round Evil Genius and Diabolical Mastermind... and that's all when she was still a school-aged filly.
  • Achievements in Ignorance: Ironically, even she had no idea exactly how she managed to Take Over the World (or most of it) and become the 'Empress of Equus' for the first time, though she recalled the whole experience was quite 'fun'.
  • Ambition Is Evil: She was legitimately ambitious and powerhungry and wants to rule Equestria and eventually the world. This remains even after she decided on Choosing Neutrality whenever she decides to lean towards the villainous side, but now chooses to do so in a more pragmatic/principled way.
  • Antagonistic Offspring: She does not have the highest opinion of her birth parents (whom abandoned her in an awful orphanage and she never knew), and developed a particular animosity for her adoptive parents King Hamis and Queen Teves of Fekvőlovakia after learning of their emotional/psychological manipulations and being abandoned by them when her plan to takeover Equestria failed. With the latter she made sure they end up experiencing a most terrible fate.
  • Anti-Hero: Her status after she went 'Neutral' whenever she leans towards the Good side - while more than happy to help save the world with heroes, she's still very ruthless and devious about it.
  • Anti-Villain: Her status after she went 'Neutral' whenever she leans towards the Evil side - while more than happy to try conquer the world with villains, she now has greater standards and more pragmatism in how she went about it.
  • The Assimilator: Emulating some of her mentors like Variatrix Libra, she had developed a habit/taste for assimilating others and/or their power into herself to increase her own might, though feasting mostly upon many an Asshole Victim which no one would miss.
  • Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Cozy Glow in her 'Super Demon Alicorn Goddess' form towers over many normal mortals and even normal Alicorns at the size of an apartment block, her size noted to be on par with that of the Sovereigns of Morality. Taken even further during the 'Giant Wars' when Cozy Glow managed to defeat an entire Giant pantheon, their champions and armies of their mortal followers threatening Solderegir single-hoofed by ramping her size (and power) up even further absorbing an entire Giant Land's magic and using a size-changing Dynamax Band while in her super-form.
  • Awesome, but Impractical: Her 'Empress of Friendship' Alicorn form. Gargantuan in both power and proportions, Cozy Glow is an implacable force of nature at this state who could curbstomp whole pantheons, warp whole lands and even single-hoofedly takeover/save the world multiple times. Unfortunately she required a special artifact to access it as her accumulated power is too much for her body to handle it safely, requiring her body to keep nearly all of it sealed until she could grow into it.
  • Awesomeness by Analysis: Cozy Glow's razor-sharp intellect allows her to derive and make use of information from the smallest tidbits available to her. She for example had managed to figure out how to manipulate two invading alien fleets into fighting and destroying each other during the First Vega War despite only working on the smallest scraps of information available.
  • Balance Between Good and Evil: Cozy Glow is so dangerous and capable even as a filly that her staying evil or joining good have a chance of seriously disrupting the balance of good and evil on Equus. This led to her present neutral alignment, in the sense that she would help heroes or villains depending on context and not committing fully to either side.
  • Berserk Button: Do NOT attempt to manipulate her. Those who tried often regret it.
  • Child Mage: Bordering on the The Archmage if she hasn't crossed it already. Being a Child Prodigy she has demonstrated an incredibly aptitude for learning and mastering magic (among other subjects), such as crafting a ritual to siphon magic from all of Equestria and becoming an Instant Expert with Alicorn magic during her brief stint as one. With her Choosing Neutrality and wanting the best of both worlds she's at present training at using both Light AND Dark Magic under the tuition of mentors such as Vicearch Iniquitous and Virtuecrat Fairytale. She has also shown an uncanny knack at finding and using magical artifacts of all kinds, such as a legendary 'Dynamax Band'.
  • Choosing Neutrality: What Cozy Glow ultimately did post-LOD: tempted to stay evil or become good, she decided she want the best of both worlds and align with neutrality, helping or leaning either side whenever the situation calls for it. This is considered an acceptable outcome since she had proved herself too capable and dangerous to stay on either side forever without upsetting the Balance Between Good and Evil. While she has since mended fences with those she hurt, like the Cutie Mark Crusaders, she has reacted with hostility towards both good and evil factions who either tried to recruit her to their sides or eliminate her as a threat.
  • Conveniently an Orphan: Or rather a foundling, as Cozy Glow herself recalled. She was left on the doorsteps of an orphanage when she was still just an infant and never knew her true parents. Some like Starlight Glimmer suspects her mother to be Checker Monarch (Trixie Lulamoon's manipulative sociopath of a sister), but this remains a theory and ultimately considered irrelevant.
  • Corporal Punishment: After her first successful attempt at Taking Over The World (albeit partly by accident) and brief reign was finally ended by a coalition of deities, heroes and other forces, one of the punishments she received was to have the 'Stele of Discipline' applied to her flank, as sentenced by Sekra the Indomitable (who landed the decisive blow and passed judgement by her right as her 'vanquisher') and implemented by her Anubian champion. She considers this the worst punishment out of everything else she received, although this and other sanctions she received were fairly light on account of various factors than it would had been had she been fully evil and tyrannical about it as she was.
  • Curbstomp Battle: Despite her current youth, Cozy Glow is one of the most dangerous Ponies presently alive, and many figures and factions would find out the hard way when she deals with them whenever they try to manipulate or destroy her.
    • An Ancient Conspiracy with global reach as well as vast resources and manepower which had plotted for centuries to achieve their own designs attempted to manipulate her for their own ends. Within a week, Cozy Glow proceeded to systematically dismantle the entire conspiracy and even take over the country which they controlled from the shadows and had served as their main base of operation, managing to do so starting from effectively nothing and no leads and culminating in her laying a beatdown on their leaders in her 'Super Demon Alicorn' form.
    • During one of the 'Giant Wars', Cozy Glow managed to defeat an entire Giant pantheon, their champions and armies of their mortal followers threatening Solderegir single-hoofed, an act which instantly earned her the status of The Dreaded among almost the entirety of Giantkind.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: She did NOT have a happy childhood, resulting in her developing major issues which turned this Child Prodigy into an Evil Genius and Diabolical Mastermind.
  • Diabolical Mastermind: Being a Child Prodigy and Evil Genius, she is a very capable strategist and manipulator who could engineer her conquests and victories with remarkable brilliance.
  • The Dreaded: Cozy Glow, between her attempt to takeover Equestria solo and the League of Domination Crisis, had become renown and infamous for her villainous potential, especially given her ability and achievements in spite of her VERY young age.
    • She became a figure of dread among mortal/divine Giantkind both benevolent and malevolent during the 'Giant Wars' after Cozy Glow managed to defeat an entire Giant pantheon and their armies of Giant champions and mortal Giant followers singlehoofed, getting nicknames such as the 'Hell Filly' and terrifying entire Rampagesnote  of Giants into running back home in terror merely by her presence.
    Giant Deity: Remember, all of you! The next time you behold the Hell Filly, crush her immediately and without mercy! Do not waste time exclaiming 'But there is no way you can defeat me!' if you want to live!
  • Eaten Alive: Implied with an entire Giant pantheon, their Giant champions and their armies of mortal Giant followers after spending a whole day toying with them in her gigantified super-form, as no one knows what happened to them afterwards beyond them 'not going to bother anyone ever again' and Cozy Glow returned to Solderegir picking her teeth.
  • Egopolis: Renamed one land she took over 'Cozyland' after herself, drawing Lampshade Hanging from her friends who pointed out Overmare from the Second Age did something similar with her Overdom.
  • Enfant Terrible: Like her canon-self, she was a school-aged filly who turned out to be an Evil Genius and Diabolical Mastermind so dangerous that her remaining a villain or becoming a hero fully was deemed too dangerously disruptive for the Balance Between Good and Evil.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Cozy Glow still retains and acts on her villainy as a 'Neutral' every now and then, but now does so more pragmatically and with standards. She avoided being too tyrannical during one time she actually succeeded in Taking Over The World (briefly), and even found Mistletoe Dreamer to be too crazy and evil for her taste.
  • Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: she found it difficult to understand why Flurry Heart would really want to make friends with her, and thought initially the only reason why she would want anything to do with her at all would be to take revenge for trying to harm her loved ones. That Flurry Heart genuinely care for and wish her the best left her completely stupefied.
  • Evil Genius: Is widely considered one of the most intelligent Ponies currently alive in the Fourth Age, and was and remained one of the most dangerous.
  • Friendly Enemy: Had mended fences and remained friendly with the Cutie Mark Crusaders after she went 'Neutral', spending afternoons with them or even helping them out while supporting the 'Good' side even though they still fight (Especially after the CMC become three of the Fourth Age Power Rangers) whenever she leans back on the 'Bad' side.
  • Friendly Rivalry: Had developed one with Daeva Malefia on the Evil side and with Flurry Heart on the Good side, actively cultivated by their respective mentors.
  • God in Human Form: Implied and speculated in-universe. Given the amount of divine power she had been exposed and absorbed over her life thus far, some believe she is already no longer mortal and is only appearing like a filly both because it suits her purposes at manipulation and also because her body can't handle the full package for long.
  • Hazy-Feel Turn: Technically what she did by Choosing Neutrality. While she's still villainous whenever she leans towards the Evil side, she still does so with more standards and pragmatism, and would also become an actual hero whenever she leans towards the Good side, forming and maintaining friendship with other heroes and good people.
  • Heel–Face Revolving Door: In-Universe deliberate example. Cozy Glow is currently 'Neutral' as Powers That Be deemed it too dangerous for her to fully commit to either Good or Evil. What that means is that she would be helping or leaning either side whenever the situation calls for it, saving the world with other heroes one day and trying to conquer it with other villains on another, and in doing so helping to maintain the balance as well as achieving her desires for both attaining true friendship and fulfilling her ambitions.
  • Heel–Face Turn: Invoked. Many good factions, when not trying to kill her to get rid of a potentially huge threat, have been attempting to recruit her to their sides by appealing to "[her] better angel", in her words. This ends up failing multiple times, as she knows from experience they only sought to use her prodigious intelligence like Tirek and Chrysalis did for their own goals, and she frequently responds by sabotaging said good factions.
  • Horrifying the Horror: She had managed to scare nearly all of Giantkind after she managed to defeat an entire Giant pantheon and their armies of Giant champions and followers singlehoofed, with divine Giants warning their followers to take her absolutely seriously while many mortal Giants chose to run like hell at the mere sight of her.
  • I Am a Humanitarian: Reflecting her past villainy and present mentors, after Choosing Neutrality she has gone from simplying absorbing magic to outright absorbing people, consuming and assimilating countless beings to take their power, knowledge and abilities for her own, though confined most of these to those no one would miss.
    • It's heavily implied that the Giant pantheon, their champions and armies of their followers which she inflicted a Curbstomp Battle against during one of the 'Giant Wars' was Eaten Alive by her while she was in a titanic version of her 'Super Demon Alicorn' form after she finished having fun with them, since she returned to Solderegir picking her teeth. As they were a hostile faction which were threatening Solderegir however no one pressed further about it.
  • I Just Want to Have Friends: One of her key motivations deep down. Her early life in a bad orphanage and her incredible intelligence caused her to become lonely and isolated, and she found herself in company of evil overlords and villainous masterminds like Tirek and Chrysalis partly out of a desire for true companionship. Convincing her that she threw away genuine friends when she tried to take over Equestria and that she can still make friends with both heroes AND villains went a long way in persuading her to pull a Hazy-Feel Turn and Choosing Neutrality.
  • Intelligence Equals Isolation: She's one of the smartest Ponies on Equus, and it had caused her no end of boredom and loneliness as most beings can't even hope to keep up with her. Her inability to relate to most people contributed to her initial fall to villainy as the only ones who could understand her and be considered an equal tend to be an Evil Genius and/or a Diabolical Mastermind like her. There's a reason beyond power as to why she wants to call herself the 'Empress of Friendship'.
  • Legion of Doom:
    • She, together with Lord Tirek and Ex-Queen Chrysalis were the co-founders of the 'League of Domination', gathering many fellow overlords, villains and factions under their manner for their one last shot at revenge and conquest of Equestria.
    • Her villainous potential was such that the Legion of Doom of dark gods and their followers, supporters and allies being secretly put together by Changeling Emperor Blackthorn and Temnobog the Dark One spirited her away and actively attempts to recruit her, personally, into their coalition after she was freed from her petrification along with Tirek and Chrysalis by Mistletoe Dreamer.
  • Manipulative Bitch: She is a Consummate Liar who could read others like an open book and use their desires, quirks and weaknesses to flatter, persuade, deceive and/or coerce them into doing her bidding or falling into traps set for them.
  • Meaningless Villain Victory: Cozy herself lampshades that even if she manages to take over the world, given the sheer amount of opposition she's facing from good, evil, neutral and others as well as inherent difficulties in actually doing it she probably can't expect to hold onto power forever, or even for very long for that matter. True to form, three weeks after her first largely-successful (and partly by accident) attempt at world domination, she found herself on the receiving end of an overthrow by coalition of returned Third Age deities and heroes she had yet to neutralise.
  • The Mentor: Had one in Lord Tirek until she realised that he was manipulating her as an Unwitting Pawn. Now as a 'Neutral' she had one in Variatrix Libra and other notable neutral figures, as well as taking hints and lessons from both forces and figures of Good and Evil.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: After her de-petrification and Villainous BSoD, she came to realize the folly and regret many of her more villainous actions, especially with the influence of Flurry Heart. This led to her opposing Mistletoe Dreamer when she swung by to recruit her for the Dark Ages Alliance, since while Cozy Glow still has villainous impulses and goals, she has no intention of ever becoming as bad as she was and as Mistletoe Dreamer am.
  • One-Man Army: One FILLY Army, though only when she had the right artifacts or in her Physical God Super Form to do it. Most of the time she uses her intelligence to outwit her opponents.
  • One-Winged Angel: She managed to find a way to re-attain her 'Super Demon Alicorn' form which she briefly had using Discord's Chaos Magic, although it required her to don a special 'Helm of True Power' to do so.
  • Orphanage of Fear: From her own recollection, she was found abandoned on the doorsteps of one when she was an infant, and being raised in a bad orphanage contributed significantly to her growing to become as devious and manipulative as she was. It was only the beginning of her Start of Darkness as she was eventually adopted into a royal family of sinister 'Psuedoalicorns'...
  • Physical God: She had found a way to re-attain her 'Super Demon Alicorn' One-Winged Angel form without the need for Discord's Chaos Magic, though at the present she required a special artifact she made known as the 'Helm of True Power' to do so as she's still too young to handle it all and needed time to grow into them.
  • Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Zigzagged. Beneath her ordinary appearance she has implied to have become this, having assimilated the magic and/or existence of entire lands and many beings both before and after her semi-reformation. However she doesn't look like it yet as it's still too much for her to handle safely for too long and she needed various artifacts to help modulate her might until she can grow safely into it. Without them and with most of her power sealed she's no more or less powerful than an ordinary filly.
  • Pragmatic Villainy: Her brand of villainy after she went 'Neutral' whenever she leans towards the bad guys, being less overly diabolical and more pragmatic in her approach. One time she took over the world (briefly and partly by accident) she avoided being overly tyrannical over her new subjects as she would had in the past, minimizing casualties in getting and keeping herself in power, imprisoning her opponents rather than executing them or worse, letting conquered lands run things with a lot of leeway so long as they pay tribute to her and not forcing them to do things like build giant statues, as well as making a lot of stuff like pizza and videogames free for everyone.
  • Reformed, but Not Tamed: Cozy Glow noted she remained too villainous in temperament to fully join the good guys, and want the best of both worlds. This ultimately contributed to her becoming 'neutral' at the encouragement of neutral forces and figures like Variatrix Libra (who are concerned she would upset the Balance Between Good and Evil).
  • The Rival: Have one in the form of Princess Flurry Heart, one of the few who could rival her in brilliance and also actively tried to befriend her. Because of this, said rivalry is friendly.
  • Royal Brat: Was adopted into the crooked royal family of Fekvőlovakia and was quickly spoiled by her newly royal station and pampering.
  • Smash Cut: In one Tales of Equestria short post-Choosing Neutrality, the CMC she re-friended raised concerns about her future actions after she dismantled an Ancient Conspiracy and took over the kingdom they ran in secret. They had a laugh about it, with Cozy Glow ridiculing the notion that she was going to Take Over the World next... Come next scene, she DID managed to take over the world, much to the CMC's own annoyance and her own surprise.
  • Smart People Play Chess: Cozy Glow does so with those who could match her in intellect such as Princess Twilight/Amicitia, Overmatriarch, Professor Soulfre, Princess Flurry Heart and Overseer Copper Cog/Crazy Ant, absolutely relishing in having a Worthy Opponent due to most mortals not remotely even being able to keep up with her.
  • Super Mode: Once a one-off gag that didn't go very well, her enormous 'Super Demon Alicorn' form had become something of one for her after managing to find a way to reattain it (Or her true form), assuming it at climatic battles against enemies or whenever she takes over.
  • Sizeshifter: Capable of doing this when switching between her filly/mare form and her 'Super Demon Alicorn' form she briefly got during the League of Domination crisis, which after she went 'Neutral' could be accessed via donning a 'Helm of True Power'. She also at one point found a legendary 'Dynamax Band', which could allow her to temporarily grow in size and power. During one of the 'Giant Wars' she took this up a notch with the above two means and siphoning power of an entire Giant Land (using the same ritual as she had attempted on Equestria) to inflict a Curbstomp Battle on an entire Giant pantheon and their champions and followers.
  • Take a Third Option: The forces of Good and Evil (notably the blocs formed by Belyolen/Rosedust and Temnobog/Blackthorn respectively) had sought to bring her to their side after the League of Domination's defeat and Cozy Glow had a Villainous BSoD about who she is and what she did. While she was tempted to go for either side and was told that she would have to stick with the one she picked, she ultimately decided she wants the best of both worlds and go neutral, joining the Neutral bloc formed by one of the three Sovereigns of Morality embodying the Neutrality between Fairytale (Good) and Iniquitous (Evil). What this means in practice, according to Cozy Glow herself, is that while she could be friends with both the good guys like Flurry Heart and help them out, she would also make friends with the bad guys and help them out as well (though they would be less or different in evil from her previous villainous friends and style).
  • Take Over the World: Cozy Glow had attempted to take over Equestria twice, once by herself and the second time with Tirek, Chrysalis and others in the League of Domination. Even after she goes 'Neutral' she still occasionally try to do this while helping the evil side, even succeeding at least once partly by accident, though she does this in a less villainous manner than when she was fully evil.
  • Too Clever by Half: One Fatal Flaw she has among many. She's an Insufferable Genius and she knows it, but this makes her cocky and prone to bite more than she can chew or overlook tiny mistakes in her plans, as demonstrated when she achieve her 'Super Demon Alicorn' form for the first time with Discord's Chaos Magic but don't know how to control her immense power, or when she failed to account for several characters and things which caused her first plan to take over Equestria to fail.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Cozy Glow's villainy unintentionally drove one of her former teachers mad, with said teacher, Miss Goldstar, becoming a child-murdering Serial Killer obsessed with finding, punishing and removing "bad weeds". Thankfully, Miss Goldstar was stopped by Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon and the Cutie Mark Crusaders, but Cozy Glow regretted her past actions enough that once she was put on probation, she visited the sanitarium Miss Goldstar was put in and tried to help restore her sanity.
  • Unwitting Pawn: It's pointed out that her entire worldview is the result of Lord Tirek being the only one to ever teacher her anything resembling right and wrong. Thus, despite being only working with him directly as part of the Legion of Domination, her entire morality and worldview were planted in her mind by Tirek, and thus unknown to her, he'd been controlling her the entire time indirectly. She doesn't take learning this well.
  • Villainous BSoD: Being outfoxed by evil/villainous gods who could match her wit-for-wit, abandoned by her erstwhile friends and realising she had been manipulated all along by Tirek left her rather distraught.
  • World's Smartest Man: Presently considered one of the smartest (and most dangerous) Ponies alive, being an Evil Genius and Diabolical Mastermind intelligent, knowledgeable and skilled enough to have a shot at Taking Over The World even when she was just a school-aged filly.
  • Young Conqueror: She had tried taking over Equestria and the world since she was a school-aged filly, continued doing so even after she went 'Neutral' whenever she leaned towards the villainous side, and almost always nearly (or even briefly) succeed.
