Adaptational Badass: Her toy version just seems to be a cute girl in a dress.
Badass Normal: She fights a dragon off, empty handed, in her initial appearance, and negotiates with a troll for her life while hanging over a cliff.
Combat Pragmatist: She kind of has to be, given her opposition and Badass Normal status. Tricking a giant crab into losing his balance, blinding the nigh-omnipotent Lavan for a few precious seconds by dropping a drape on his head...
Deadpan Snarker: Briefly, though you'd probably snark too if a pink pegasus picked you out of the blue and treated you like The Chosen One just because you said you could ride horses.
Every Girl Is Cuter with Hair Decs: Has a huge pink hair ribbon.
Farm Girl: She lives at a ranch.
Girliness Upgrade: Sort of. Compared to the pilot she's more feminine and motherly, also the leader of the group. Her appearance is the major change, as it changed from reasonable clothes and colors, to frilly clothes and bright colors.
The Hero
Ideal Heroine
Plucky Girl
Rapunzel Hair

Danny Williams

My Little Pony Ponies

Magic Star, Earth Pony

The Ace: There are Loads and Loads of Characters, but there's very little question as to who their de-facto leader is.
Badass Normal: And this is why.
Only Sane Pony: Yes. Right alongside Galaxy and Wind Whistler, she gets the long suffering position of being one of the more sensible ponies who has to keep the others in line and keep them from getting themselves killed.
Team Mom: When Megan isn't around.

Fizzy, Unicorn

The Chick: OK, this is one of the few female-dominant series, where even minor characters are more likely to be female than male. Still, Fizzy is the girliest of them all.
The Ditz
Catch Phrase: "Well, gosh."
Cloudcuckoolander
Making a Splash: Some unicorns had Psychic Powers, others had Elemental Powers. Fizzy's water-based powers usually showed up as a...

Gusty, Unicorn

Blow You Away
Curtains Match the Window
Depending on the Writer: In American canon she's a Jerk Ass but in the British comics she's rather sweet and gentle; even being a nurse and a guardian to the Baby Ponies.
Green Eyes
Jerk with a Heart of Gold
Meaningful Name
Nancy Cartwright
Plucky Girl
Shorttank
Skunk Stripe: Her mane is mostly green with a single pink streak.

Buttons, Unicorn

Genki Girl: Less than Surprise, but still fun-loving.
Mind Over Matter: She had telekinesis.
Nice Guy
Only Sane Man: Pretty level-headed.

Galaxy, Unicorn

Curtains Match the Window
The Empath: She's practically Counselor Troi in the form of a magenta, glowing unicorn.
Multicoloured Hair
Only Sane Man: Oh yeah. Just about every time bad happens, she's often put into groupings where she's the only one to keep her cool.
Rose-Haired Girl
The Smart Guy: Not quite on par with Wind Whistler, but she can serve the same purpose in a pinch.
Surrounded by Idiots: Her lot in life, often being in episodes lacking Magic Star and Wind Whistler.

Paradise, Pegasus

Badass Bookworm
The Ditz: While nowhere near as obvious about it as Fizzy is, she could give her a run for her money any day of the week.
The Storyteller
Wrong Genre Savvy: While in a land of unicorns, dragons, elves, dwarves, and such, she wishes life were a little more like storybooks. Um...

Co-Dragons: Reeka and Draggle.
Evil Matriarch: Hydia.
Extreme Omnivore: All of them, but Reeka especially.
Fat and Skinny: Reeka and Draggle.
Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Draggle; Reeka is surprisingly competent.
Inept Mage: Draggle.
The Other Darrin: The witches' movie VAs didn't return, so Hydia was played by Tress MacNeille instead of Cloris Leachman, Reeka by Jennifer Darling instead of Rhea Perlman, and Draggle also by Jennifer Darling instead of Madeline Kahn.

Charlie Adler
Deadpan Snarker: At times, particularly in "The Magic Coins."
