This is the character sheet for My Little Pony (G3).
Early G3
Voiced by: Janyse Jaud
Pinkie Pie is a happy earth pony with a pink body and light pink hair. Her cutie mark is three balloons (two blue ones and one yellow one). She loves planning big parties, trying new things, and anything pink.
- Characterization Marches On: During the first few years of G3, Pinkie was originally one of the youngest ponies. She was naive, unsure of herself, and preferred to let others try things first. Later on she was retooled into a self-confident leader.
- Era-Specific Personality: Her name and love of parties extends to her My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic counterpart. However, as The Leader, she's considerably less of a Cloud Cuckoo Lander, even despite her obsession with the color pink.
- Jack of All Trades: Mentioned by Razzaroo in A Charming Birthday to "know a lot about a lot of things", suggesting this.
- Only Sane Man: At times, particularly when Minty's around.
- Speech Impediment: It doesn't hinder her pronunciation, but she has a bit of a lisp.

Rainbow Dash is a stylish Earth pony with a sky blue body, a pink, orange, yellow and green mane, and a navy blue, purple and pink tail. She has a rainbow between two clouds as her cutie mark. She loves rainbows (duh), and is described as very mature and responsible. She speaks with a British accent, has a noticeably more mature-sounding voice than the other ponies, and frequently adds the words "darling" and "dashing" to her sentences.
- Cool Big Sis: Acts almost as an older sister figure to most of the other ponies in Ponyville, being a voice of reason (most of the time) and telling them stories.
- Curtains Match the Window: In the first three specials, her rainbow mane matched her rainbow eyes.
- Era-Specific Personality:
- Coupled with My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic Rainbow Dash, you get Tomboy and Girly Girl—FiM Rainbow Dash being the tomboy, and G3 being the girly girl.
- She has three personalities. Her G3 personas are split up into the pre-Core 7's "Oneesama with an eye for fashion who is womanly but still knows how to have fun", "A bubblier, more immature fashionista who loves to dress up", and her more adventurous toyline/comic personality listed below.
- In the G3 comics, she's very different from the show version, being much more adventurous. For example, she once challenged Sunny Daze to a sledge race (loser brushes the winner's hair every day for a week.) She ended up being thrown off after hitting a branch, rolling down a steep hill, and her fall is broken by slamming headfirst into a house. When everyone goes Oh, Crap! and runs to her aid, they find she's quite happy - she definitely won the race. She tells Sunny Daze to get her brush. One comic's description of her reads "Rainbow Dash is the most outrageous pony you'll ever meet! When it comes to adventure, excitement, and fun, if Rainbow Dash hasn't done it, it's never been done!" Hmm, an adventurous and competitive Rainbow Dash? Sounds just crazy enough to work.
- Everything's Better with Rainbows: Her Cutie Mark is a rainbow, she loves rainbows, and her name is Rainbow Dash. Rainbows, darling! Rainbows!
- Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak: In the comics she has an athletic and adventurous side to go along with her feminine persona.
- I Am Very British: She has a British accent here.
- Meaningful Name: In G3 she was said to often ride on rainbows, essentially dashing on rainbows.
- Technicolor Eyes: In the first three specials, she had rainbow eyes. They returned in Newborn Cuties.
- Verbal Tic: In G3, her "dahling~" catch phrase skirted the line of this from time to time. She could fit it in multiple times per sentence.

Minty is an an earth pony with a mint green body and pink hair. Her cutie mark is three swirled mint candies. Minty loves the color green, collecting socks, standing on her head and playing chocolate chip checkers with Sweetberry. She is also very clumsy, often stepping on other ponies "toes". Voiced by Tabitha St. Germain.
- Ambiguously Gay: She has a rather flirtatious picture with Pinkie Pie, pretty much flirts with Star Catcher, and accidentally kissed two other mares (Thistle Whistle in "A Very Minty Christmas," Sparkleworks in "Positively Pink.")
- Drives Like Crazy: Or, balloons like crazy? She loves hot-air balloons, but is terrible at flying them, making Kimono nauseous in A Charming Birthday and crashing the balloon entirely in A Very Minty Christmas.
- Era-Specific Personality: Is she a goof-ball who adores all things green, like in G3? Or does she just really love mints, like in G1?
- Iconic Item: Socks and mints.
- Inconsistent Coloring: She always has a green coat and pink hair, but the exact shades tend to vary quite a bit.
- Her coat can range from a very pale cool green to so dark and blue toned it barely counts as mint color anymore.
- In most specials her hair is solid pink (or at least two tones of pink), but in some specials her hair has white mixed in, and in her toy form her hair is often such a pale pink that it's nearly white note .
- The Klutz: Boy is she clumsy. Tripping over things, accidentally stepping on other ponies' hooves (or "feet" as they're referred to in G3), flying hot-air balloons badly, tripping over her own words, breaking the Here Comes Christmas Candy Cane... the list goes on.
- My God, What Have I Done?: In "A Very Minty Christmas," she feels upset over ruining Christmas for everyone.
- Rose-Haired Sweetie: Has pink (and sometimes white as well) hair, and is an incredibly sweet pony, always looking out for her friends the best she can.

Eventually, she and Star Catcher help the Pegasus Ponies make friends with the residents of Ponyville.
- Ambiguously Gay: Her interactions with Starcatcher can come off as rather romantic. As a bonus, in 2023 for Pride Month, Hasbro released a Pride shirt featuring her and Starcatcher
! - Hollywood Tone-Deaf: Her singing is so bad it scares the pegasus ponies away.
- Make a Wish: She always makes wishes to solve problems. It turns out Star Catcher is the reason this actually works.
- Verbal Tic: She has a tendency to trail off in a sentence and say "Oh! You know what I mean!" She even does this when she thinks no one is around. She loses it by Friends are Never Far Away, though.

- The Convenient Store Next Door: The Cotton Candy Cafe.
- Informed Attribute: She is described as being a storyteller during her introduction in "A Charming Birthday", yet she's never so much as opened a storybook since then.

- Meaningful Name: Cotton Candy has said sweet treat as her cutie mark.
- Talkative Loon: When she chats, she really talks a lot non-stop. It can drive the other ponies a bit crazy at times.

Voiced by: Tabitha St. Germain

- Bespectacled Cutie: She's a cute pony who wears glasses.
- Blind Without 'Em: Daffidazey has bad eyesight and needs glasses to see. She mistook Spike for a pony without them.
- Expy: Candy Apple reuses her design. Rumor has it Fiesta wasn't made into a toy due to being deemed too much of an ethnic stereotype, so maracas became candied apples and a "new character" was born for the toyline.
- Toyless Toyline Character: As mentioned above, its rumored that Fiesta was considered too much of a stereotype, and her toy was retooled into Caramel Apple (who has the same colors, and the candy apples on her cutie mark are in very similar positions to Fiesta's maracas).

In Storybelle's story, they are two earth ponies who wished to fly and tried out all manner of Zany Schemes to learn how. Star Flight is a pink earth pony with cyan and pink hair. Her cutie mark is a yellow star with blue beaded ribbons dangling from the bottom. Heart Bright is a white earth pony with a cool purple and teal mane, and a pink tail. Her cutie mark is a pink heart with a teal swirly design dangling underneath.Only appear in A Very Pony Place.
- Ambiguously Gay: The two are described as being so close they were practically twins, but even twins don't typically sleep in the same bed (inches apart from each other, too) or drink from one sundae with two straws.
- Be Yourself: The repeated lesson of their story.
- Hat of Flight: Turns out propeller caps do not work that way. Back to the drawing board.
- Hilarity Ensues: Their attempts to fly comically flop.
- Non-Indicative Name: Star Flight.
- Psychic Dreams for Everyone: They share the same dream with no sign of any magical anything; apparently it's because they're just that in sync.
- Rhymes on a Dime: When one says something, the other always answers in rhyme. However, they're sometimes able to answer others in rhyme, too; as it's a storybook, it could be that they're just written that way. However, Storybelle's narration is not in rhyme.
- Show Within a Show: Maybe. While their only appearance is in a story that Storybelle is reading, that story's background characters are all major characters from other episodes. It could be the book is about two ponies who actually lived (but aren't in Ponyville anymore, apparently.)

Spike is a 1000-2000 year old (he's not sure) blue dragon with orange scales and ties to royalty. Awakened during the events of The Princess Promenade, when Wysteria touched the flower he held in his tail and became Princess Wysteria. Spike now resides in the Celebration Castle in Ponyville. He is shown to be knowledgeable on things and gives the ponies some advice. He also has a habit of mixing up other fairy-tales with the story he's actually in.
- Age Lift: Spike was a baby/child dragon in G1 but he's an adult here.
- British Stuffiness: Like Rainbow Dash, he has a British accent. He also spends most of his introductory special making Wysteria act like proper princess, in spite of her own feelings.
- Era-Specific Personality: There are dragons named Spike in G1 and G4, but he has a vastly different personality and even color scheme. His relationship with G1 Spike is more "homage-y name" than "Spike's back".
- The Mentor: To Wysteria in The Princess Promenade.
- Metaphorgotten: He often compares situations to a fairy tale (real-life one, inviting the usual
Fridge Logic of how Earth fairytales reach a world that seems to have no humans) only to realize he's mistaken one fairy tale for another. - Older Than They Look: He claims to have taken a nap for a millennium but still seems quite young.
- The One Guy: He's the only male character in G3 aside from G3.5 background ponies.
- Overly Long Name: Master Kenbroath Gillspotten Heathspike.
- The Pig-Pen: When he first appeared, he didn't even know what a bath was, let alone had one. He was actually proud of how long it took to smell as bad as he did. Though he didn't mind getting cleaned off.
- The Smart Guy: He seems to be more knowledgeable than the other ponies.
- Stern Teacher: To Wysteria in "Princess Promenade", as the one instructing her on how to be a proper princess.
Pegasi
First introduced in Dancing in the Clouds (only Starcatcher), fleshed out in Friends are Never Far Away.Voiced by: Lenore Zann
Star Catcher is a pegasus pony with a white body and blue, white and pink hair. Her cutie mark is a pink heart with glitter. She resides in the secluded Butterfly Island during the events of Dancing in the Clouds until she met Skywishes, who was the first wingless pony Starcatcher ever saw. Described in Ponyville Legends to grant everyone's wish, Star Catcher loves to make friends with everyone she meets, especially to Skywishes.
- Ambiguously Gay: Her interactions with Skywishes can come off as rather romantic. As a bonus, in 2023 for Pride Month, Hasbro released a Pride shirt featuring her and Skywishes!
- Curtains Match the Window: Well, the blue of her eyes is one of the colors of her mane.
- Cool Big Sis: To all the other pegasus ponies.
- Expy: While not a total copy-paste job, because of her colors, leadership role, wish-granting ability that proves she's got some serious magical power, and Voice of the Legion (of course, not the same volume as that of a certain princess of the night) she is often seen as the proto-Celestia (obviously, Luna got the voice.)
- Facial Markings: She has purple patterns on her face.
- Make a Wish: She is revealed to be the reason why doing this actually works for Skywishes.
- The Mentor: She is the de facto leader of the pegasi, and the one who encourages them to make friends with the earth ponies.
- Pretty Butterflies: She commands a cloud of multicolored butterflies. At one point she uses them to carry Skywishes along with her to meet the other pegasi, and later to allow the whole main cast to "dance in the clouds" as per Skywishes' earlier wish.
- Voice of the Legion: In her first appearance, she had a special effect-ed voice. Again, hers is much less deafening than a certain G4 princess that is more famous for it (in fact, her voice is more like a whisper with some amplification and echo.) She loses it by her second appearance.

Thistle Whistle is a pegasus pony with a blue body and pink and yellow hair. Her cutie mark is purple thistle flowers and a butterfly. Thistle Whistle is one of Star Catcher's close friends in Butterfly Island. Like her namesake, Thistle Whistle always whistles in one of her speeches.

She is a young unicorn who values fun over her duties as a Rainbow Princess. She was taught by Cheerilee note on how to uphold her responsibilities. She is also in charge of one of the magic wand, alongside Brights Brightly, Cheerilee and Whistle Wishes. Her wand allows her to control the colors to bring in the first rainbow of the season and lets her summon the Crystal Carriage.

- Cheerful Child: She acts like one, down to have "That was fun, let's do it again!" as catchphrase.
- Era-Specific Personality: In My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, she is an adult; a fashion designer with Obsessively Organized tendencies. G4 Rarity essentially inherited the G3 Rainbow Dash personality. This Rarity is a filly who would rather goof off than do her duty.
- Meaningful Name: In-universe, a rainbow is described as being "lovely and rare" during the song "So Far Apart" in "The Runaway Rainbow", and Rarity is one of the unicorns chosen to create the rainbow.
- Never My Fault: A part of her Character Development is realizing that sometimes it is her fault.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Due to her curiosity, she used the wand to accidentally teleport herself to the middle of Breezie Blossom.
- Rainbows and Unicorns: Rarity is a unicorn pony whose mane is dark pink, orange, and yellow, while her tail is blue, green, and purple. Additionally, her heart-shaped cutie mark is surrounded by rainbow swirls.
- Royals Who Actually Do Something: Yes and no. A "Rainbow Princess" is a role in a certain ceremony and each year has a different one. It's unlikely that she's actually a princess of anything at other times and she definitely isn't one of Unicornia's rulers.
- Spell My Name with a "The": Merchandise referred to her almost exclusively as "Rarity The Unicorn."

- The Mentor: To Rarity, as a unicorn, being the one to teach her about her Princess duties.

Core 7 and G3.5
Around 2008 Hasbro decided to massively cut down the amount of characters down to just 7, and started making variant toys of only those 7 characters. Later in 2009, the ponies were given a redesign, making their eyes and hooves bigger, and their bodies and muzzles smaller. This redesign carried over the "Core 7" ponies from the G3 character reduction.Please note that while some of the character folders in here may seem to be duplicates, these are the Core 7 Reboot/G3.5 versions of the characters, and will only have tropes that are specific to these versions of the characters.Core 7

Rainbow Dash is a stylish earth pony with a sky blue body, a pink, orange, yellow and green mane, and a dark blue, purple and pink tail. She has a rainbow between two clouds as her cutie mark. In the Core 7 series, she has curly hair, and her mane was bound in a bun. She always dresses fashionably and is sometimes shown as a shopaholic.
- Abandoned Catchphrase: In G3, Rainbow Dash's catchphrase was "darling". Following the Core 7 soft reboot, she eventually lost her British accent and it was replaced by a standard American one, received a different personality, and lost the catchphrase.
- Catchphrase: However, Core 7 and later G3.5 gave her a new catchphrase, "How dashing!"
- Chickification: When she lost her accent and became a fashionista she lost a rather large portion of her Cool Big Sis persona and some maturity.
- Curtains Match the Window: Only in Newborn Cuties.
- Era-Specific Personality:
- Coupled with My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic Rainbow Dash, you get Tomboy and Girly Girl—FiM Rainbow Dash being the tomboy, and G3 being the girly girl.
- She has three personalities. Her G3 personas are split up into the pre-Core 7's "Oneesama with an eye for fashion who is womanly but still knows how to have fun", "A bubblier, more immature fashionista who loves to dress up", and her more adventurous toyline/comic personality listed below.
- In the G3 comics, she's very different from the show version, being much more adventurous. For example, she once challenged Sunny Daze to a sledge race (loser brushes the winner's hair every day for a week.) She ended up being thrown off after hitting a branch, rolling down a steep hill, and her fall is broken by slamming headfirst into a house. When everyone goes Oh, Crap! and runs to her aid, they find she's quite happy - she definitely won the race. She tells Sunny Daze to get her brush. One comic's description of her reads "Rainbow Dash is the most outrageous pony you'll ever meet! When it comes to adventure, excitement, and fun, if Rainbow Dash hasn't done it, it's never been done!" Hmm, an adventurous and competitive Rainbow Dash? Sounds just crazy enough to work.
- Everything's Better with Rainbows: Her Cutie Mark is a rainbow, she loves rainbows, and her name is Rainbow Dash. Rainbows, darling! Rainbows!
- Flashback with the Other Darrin: The Clip Show Special Day shorts were made after Anna Cummer took over as Rainbow's voice actor. The clips to previous specials and films that were used had Venus Terzo's original performance dubbed over by Cummer, with some lines also being changed due to the new Era-Specific Personality not having the "dahling" Verbal Tic.
- Technicolor Eyes: In the first three G3 specials, she had rainbow eyes. They returned in Newborn Cuties.

Scootaloo is the second youngest of the group, an earth pony with an orange body and purple and pink hair, usually worn in a ponytail. Her cutie mark is a butterfly with two small yellow flowers. Scootaloo is Cheerilee's younger sister who loves playing games and sports. She can be a bit stubborn and would often argue with Cheerilee.
- Annoying Younger Sibling: One of the Newborn Cuties shorts is about her hyperactive antics ruining her older sister and her friend's plans for the day and making them cater to her whims.
- Era-Specific Personality: Her name extends to her G4 Counterpart, only more tomboyish in that incarnation. Still, she's one of the characters who is more like their counterpart, unlike, say, Rarity or Rainbow Dash.
- Meaningful Name: Downplayed. She rides a scooter... once, briefly (her toy was packaged with one, though).
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Scootaloo opened Twinkle Wish's box, causing a chain of events that she got stolen by Whimsey Weatherbe. Nice job Scootaloo, you almost ruined Christmas.
- Unrelated in the Adaptation: Here, she and Cheerilee are sisters. In My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, her G4 incarnation is simply one of Cheerilee's students.

Cheerilee has been redesigned to an earth pony using Cherry Blossom's design. She is an earth pony with a mulberry body and hair in different shades of pink and purple, stylized in pigtails (in the animation and in some of the merchandise). Her cutie mark is three light pink flowers with leaves. She loves flowers and enjoys telling amazing stories. She is Scootaloo's older sister, and often argues with her.
- Anger Born of Worry: Very mad at Scootaloo in the Twinkle Wish Adventure.
- Era-Specific Personality: In 2006 Hasbro made a unicorn pony named "Cheerilee", but when they created the Core 7 they scrapped her and made the current Cheerilee, an earth pony who looks nothing like the old one. Her new design is nearly identical◊ to Cherry Blossom. It seems all they did was give that pony a new name and cutie mark. This means she even has era-specific designs, going from a unicorn to Cherry Blossom Expy to her later pigtailed appearance as well as the shift that occurred in the general pony body shape. Her personality stays the mostly same, though she does seem to get a bit younger. Though G3.5 Cheerilee is The Storyteller and so keeps her exposition duty, It's very hard to imagine the original Cheerilee sticking her tongue out at anypony.
- Girlish Pigtails: We get an explanation for them (apparently she changed her hair in preparation for the Winter Wishes Festival.)
- The Smart Guy: In her G3.5 design, she is a knowledgeable storyteller.
- The Storyteller: Her second incarnation is this, often serving as exposition as a result.
- Unrelated in the Adaptation: Here, she and Scootaloo are sisters. In My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, her G4 incarnation is simply Scootaloo's teacher as part of her job as the town schoolmaster.

- Character Tics: In G3.5, she gains bangs and a habit of blowing them out of her face.
- Early Installment Character-Design Difference: In early G3 she was a dark pink pony with teal, white and lavender hair who loved dancing and doing cartwheels. She was later re-released as essentially an earth pony version of Rarity design-wise, and now loves painting.
- Expy: Her talent is passed onto Apple Bloom. Later into the show's run, she gets an incarnation in the episode Fame and Misfortune along with Coconut Cream.
- Pastimes Prove Personality: A creative, soft-spoken, and dreamy artist.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: She's afraid of the dark and never sleeps without her nightlight.

- Era-Specific Personality: Her name extends to her G4 counterpart. Her personality's mostly the same, but as a later arrival (not existing before the Core 7 era) she's not quite as fleshed out as some. However, there's one big difference: G3 Sweetie Belle is a Supreme Chef, but FIM Sweetie Belle is a Lethal Chef.
- Goo-Goo-Godlike: In the Newborn Cuties short, she's given a doozy of an origin (when two rainbows crossed, she was created at the point where they converged) and goes on to cause random magical effects that would put her on par with Twilight Sparkle for FIM; she was the single most powerful MLP character ever at the time of her introduction! Strangely, she never uses magic at all in any other story.
- Informed Ability:
- Sweetie Belle's line in the Theme Tune Roll Call may be "Sweetie Belle's magic brings a great big smile," but we never see her use any. (At that point in the opening, we see a spark of light from her horn, but we cut away before we see her actually do something with it.) In the Newborn Cuties short "Over Two Rainbows," we actually see her being born/made, and baby Sweetie Belle proves to be insanely powerful (to the point of bringing less of a 'great big smile' and more 'uh-oh.'), which really makes you wonder why her horn is just for show in the present day. There were times a Reality Warper could really have come in handy!
- Official bios for her have described her as being very self-conscious about being different, as the only unicorn in Ponyville. Nothing of the sort ever comes up onscreen, though it could provide a possible explanation why she never uses magic in stories set after Once Upon A My Little Pony Time.
- Informed Attribute: Like what was said above, the 'self conscious about being the only unicorn' thing. It could have been mined for some interesting material, but watching the animations you'd never think it was supposed to be a trait of hers.
- Kid-Appeal Character: Being a young girl and more childish than the rest of the cast.
- Meaningful Name: She's a sweet girl.
- Supreme Chef: She's shown to be a great Team Chef.
- Sweet Tooth: Seems to have a love of sweets.
- Unicorn: The only Unicorn pony of the group.

- Alliterative Name: StarSong
- CamelCase: Her name is always stylized as StarSong, with no space in the middle.
- Character Tic: She likes to pirouette in the air, and otherwise puts the occasional dance move into her movements.
- Expy: Her talent is passed onto G4 Sweetie Belle. Also, Fluttershy gets an episode about loving to sing but being shy about doing so in public that is basically Starsong's "Meet The Ponies" short with some Adaptation Expansion.
- The Heart
- Idol Singer: Explained by Cheerilee that Starsong is the best performer in all of Ponyville. She's multi-talented: her toy marketing included not only ballet and singing props but keyboards, guitar, saxophone and trumpet.
- Informed Attribute: Though the shyness does appear in a flashback to when she first sang in public in "Meet The Ponies," it's not quite the same as being bold onstage and shy offstage as she is described.
- Meaningful Name: Her name is StarSong, and she loves singing.
- Pegasus: The only Pegasus Pony of the group.
- Shrinking Violet: It's initially explained by Cheerilee that Starsong is a bit shy off-stage, but she later becomes more confident.
- Spell My Name With An S: It's StarSong in most credits (that aren't in all caps) and in the title of the one web short to bear her name. Most fans spell it Starsong or Star Song, but apparently it's supposed to be in CamelCase.

Flitter Flutter is an Earth pony with a yellow body and purple and light pink hair. Her cutie mark is a heart key with a ribbon in it. She is the Mayor of Ponyville and also the judge for the ornament making contest for the Winter Wishes Festival. She entrusted Twinkle Wish to Cheerilee until the night of the Winter Wishes Festival. Usually seen riding a scooter.
- Alliterative Name: Flitter Flutter.
- Department of Redundancy Department: She has the habit of saying synonyms to words in her sentences, statements, proclamations!
- Freak Out: She does this after finding out that Twinkle Wish is missing.
- Ultimate Authority Mayor: She's the mayor of Ponyville, and there's no sign of a higher authority that has power over the different areas. (However, Unicornia and Butterfly Island are explicity not in Ponyville, and they have their leaders, the title-less Cheerilee and Star Catcher, respectively.)

Twinkle Wish is a wishing star, described in the legends of the Winter Wishes Festival. She usually sleeps inside a box to get enough energy for the festival so she can grant everyone's wishes. She was "kidnapped" by Whimsey, leaving the ponies to get her back before the night of the festival.
- Amplifier Artifact: Probably a more sentient one since the Rainbow of Light in G1.
- Make a Wish: It's sort of her thing, granting everyone's wishes.
- Rhymes on a Dime:Twinkle Wish: "It is time, yes it is time. Time it is for the Wishing Rhyme. Make a wish when you close your eyes, and I will grant you with one surprise."

Whimsey Weatherbe is a female dragon with an orange body, yellow scales, brown hair, a pair of pink wings and wears a blue ribbon on her head, She lives in Willy Nelly Mountain at the outskirts of Ponyville and is shown to manipulate the weather and likes to have friends. She "kidnaps" Twinkle Wish the wishing star from Ponyville after Scootaloo accidentally opens its box, leading to the ponies to go to Willy Nelly Mountain to retrieve it from her. She eventually decides to give it back with a changed heart at the night of the Festival.
- Elemental Powers: The reason Willy Nelly Mountain changes weather constantly is because of her dragon breath.
- The Fashionista: She likes to dress up.
- An Ice Person: After it gets too hot, she uses her dragon breath to cool things down. It doesn't end well though. She uses this ability again to create snow during the festival.
- I Just Want to Have Friends: This is her reasoning both for kidnapping Twinkle Wish and, eventually, for giving her back. She felt that, by having Twinkle Wish, people would want to be with her and be her friend. She gives Twinkle Wish back when she realizes that the ponies aren't going to stay and be friends with her because she's keeping Twinkle Wish.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She realizes that keeping Twinkle Wish is bad and will make everyone in Ponyville disappointed, so she decides to return the wishing star the night of the festival.
- Playing with Fire: At one point, she tries to make the ponies comfortable by warming things up with her dragon breath.
