Added DiffLines:

* FriendToAllChildren: Theo is VERY protective of children, race and background and origin be damned. He's adopted many over the years, fostering them to be the best they can be, and even adopted an Alternate Universe version of Numidium and is helping her learn to control her powers as Entropy Embodied. Even 'Inherently Evil' children fall under his protection, as shown by The Siren, a young demoness with immense power who he managed to turn to a force of good.
* IHaveManyNames: A long life of adventuring leads to many aliases among both enemies and allies. Among the most notorious are: The Sin Eater, The Un-Man, The Living Armageddon, The Monster in the Dark, The Bringer of Dread, The Last Planeswalker, The Master Artificer, He Who Calms the Storm, The Watcher from Heaven, The Guardian, The Leader of the Angels, The Iron-Crown King. But his personal favorite? Professor Wylder.


Added DiffLines:

* SealedArmyInACan: Technically 'Sealed Army in a deck of cards', Like many Planeswalkers, Theodore can manifest his memories as tangible forces, including the many friends and allies he's made across the multiverse, able to call upon them at a whim. Theo's 'deck' is based mostly on actual MTG Cards but openly 'breaks a few rules'.
* SayMyName: An unofficial catchphrase of Theo's when dealing with people who know who he his. This isn't done out of gloryhounding, but rather to reinforce that, despite his many aliases, he is ultimately just one human man. And he wants his enemies to remember they were beaten by Just One Man.
* TheresNoKillLikeOverkill: When Theo wants to bring down an enemy, he doesn't settle for 'Just enough force to do so', he prefers 'More than sufficient force to leave any survivors terrified of trying to fight back'.

Added DiffLines:

* DimensionalTraveler: Theodore hails from an alternate worldline and have been to many, ''many'' more worlds before then, on account of being a [[{{Franchise/MagicTheGathering}} Planeswalker]]. He however does ''[[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/942403397/5031341968 not]]'' want to teach others how to achieve that ability as it requires a traumatic experience he does not want anyone to be put through.
* TheDreaded: His name is well-known and feared in many worlds, planes and universes, due to not only his implied age and experience but also the accumulated power, abilities and resources at his command. During the Vega Wars he was one of the most feared adversaries for the invading alien Vega Alliance, who knew of his exploits even from their corner of the galaxy, and one [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/828938753/5031144132 Drabble]] has an encounter by one doomed squadron of Vega invader aerial forces with him and one of his 'Planetary Siege Units' portrayed akin to a scene from a CosmicHorrorStory.
* RetGone: One of Theodore's most terrifying abilities which he picked up from his Planeswalking is the use of Balefire - the original, most dangerous and forbidden version feared across the Multiverse - which is capable of completely burning those they target not only from the face of Equus but from reality itself, down to their very souls and the memory of their existence. Theodore would [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/942403397/5029864073 use]] this (with permission from the Grand Primevals) upon a Gaelist during the Talon Bais War for committing a crime against hatchlings so unspeakably horrific and evil even the Talon Bais Pantheon (who condoned and encouraged Talon Bais' hatred for Dragons) were disgusted and had forsaken him.
* TimeAbyss: While he did not look like it, he's an immortal who had been travelling across the multiverse for a very, VERY long time. He had been to the Codex Equus universe on multiple occasions across and well before the Ages of Known History.

* DaddysGirl: Of her parents, she is much closer to her father, Filthy Rich, because unlike [[AbusiveParents Spoiled Rich]], Filthy Rich genuinely loved her and tried instilling a moral compass to counteract Spoiled Rich's bad parenting. Even during her bullying phase, she generally behaved herself whenever Filthy Rich was around and/or put his hoof down on her behavior. Filthy Rich [[WhenYouComingHomeDad frequently being away from home]], whether for work or some other reason, not only strained their relationship, but also left her vulnerable to Spoiled Rich's indoctrination and emotional abuse. Fortunately, Filthy Rich resolves to spend more time with her after she is nearly killed by [[KnightTemplar Poenans]], and divorces Spoiled Rich after catching her hitting their daughter.
* DaEditor: [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E23PonyvilleConfidential Like in canon]], she became the editor-in-chief of the Ponyville schoolhouse's "Foal Free Press" newsletter, with full authority thanks to Spoiled Rich's influence. However, it didn't work out for her because she was a MeanBoss to the Cutie Mark Crusaders who worked under her at the time, which got her demoted by Cheerilee and replaced with Featherweight when her actions were exposed with a little trickery. Despite Spoiled Rich failed to have her reinstalled, she harshly punished her for her failure.
* DatingWhatDaddyHates: A platonic version. Spoiled Rich essentially turned her into [[RichBitch a miniature version of herself]] because she couldn't stand seeing her hang out with Applebloom, whose family Spoiled Rich saw as "country bumpkins". Following her HeelFaceTurn, she proceeds to do just that, mother's orders be damned -- which eventually factored into Spoiled Rich [[RageBreakingPoint snapping]] and [[WouldHurtAChild striking her in a fit of rage]].



* FaceHeelTurn: She used to be a sweet, if headstrong filly who played with the other Ponyville foals without trouble and befriended Silver Spoon by defending her from bullies. Spoiled Rich's indoctrination and emotional abuse sadly turned her into the bully and AlphaBitch she was in canon. Fortunately, in part with help from the Cutie Mark Crusaders, who were ironically her most frequent victims, she comes to realize that being a bully like her mother is wrong and pulls a HeelFaceTurn.



* ForWantOfANail: Had Prince Fanged Paw not rescued her and Silver Spoon from murderous Poenan worshipers, she would not have become a Power Ranger, a goddess, or the {{Reincarnation}} of Diamond Glow, an Alicorn demigoddess from the Second Age who made a HeroicSacrifice to ensure the Void Sovereign's first defeat.

* ForWantOfANail: Had Prince Fanged Paw Her present status hinged on a lot of things -- had she not rescued chosen to redeem herself, succeeded in driving Mistletoe Dreamer's spirit away from her, or even survived the Poenan Pantheon's attempted attack on her and Silver Spoon from murderous Poenan worshipers, Spoon, she would not have never become a Power Ranger, a goddess, an Alicorn demigoddess, or the {{Reincarnation}} of Diamond Glow, an Alicorn demigoddess Glow. This applies to the choices made by those around her, as many individuals still chose to protect her and Silver Spoon from the Second Age who made a HeroicSacrifice to ensure the Void Sovereign's first defeat.Poenans despite their history of bullying.



* {{Irony}}: One of her closest friends and fellow Power Rangers, Applebloom, is part of the Apple Clan, whose members her mother, Spoiled Rich, hated for being backward, unintelligent "country bumpkins".
* KarmicJackpot:
** Her choice to break away from Spoiled Rich's influence and stop being a bully ends up rewarding her in the long run. Not only does she reconcile with those she hurt with her bullying, but she also finally gains the friends she always wanted besides [[OnlyFriend Silver Spoon]], including the Cutie Mark Crusaders, who used to be her most frequent victims.
** Her act of stopping Mistletoe Dreamer's DemonicPossession of her via sheer HeroicWillpower ends up catching the attention of Neighjor, who trained and appointed her as the Fourth Age's Red Power Ranger. Neighjor also defends her from Poenans and other judicial extremists who want her dead for both her history with bullying and prophesied potential for evil.
** Her refusal to give up hope during a particularly difficult battle against Rita the Repulsive not only allows her to Ascend to demi-godhood, but also become the {{Reincarnation}} of Diamond Glow, one of her Second-Age ancestors who was herself a heroic demigoddess in life.



* ReformedButRejected: Deconstructed. While she eventually realizes her bullying ways were wrong and chose to become a ReformedBully, several Ponyvillers refuse to forgive her on account of her past, while the Poenan Pantheon tried to have her and Silver Spoon killed based on a prophecy where they become "[[TheAntiChrist greater evils]]". The encounter with the Poenans traumatized her so badly that she felt terrified of validating her would-be killers' claims in any way, to the point of feeling unworthy of things that she legitimately earned by her own merit, such as Princesshood and a place in a divine pantheon.
* {{Reincarnation}}: She eventually manages to awaken Diamond Glow's blood in her by refusing to give up hope during a battle with [[WickedWitch Rita the Repulsive]], causing her to gain her ancestor's diamond-like wings and crystalline orange horn while Ascending to demi-godhood. This also, incidentally, caused her to become Diamond Glow reincarnated, as Tranquil Harbor became Promes' and Twilight/Amicitia became Mana Equus's. Her status as a reincarnation is a [[ShoutOut reference]] to the ''Fanfic/PonyPOVSeries'', where one of her past lives is Diamond Glow from G2.

* ScrewDestiny: Deconstructed. A lot of her actions following the Poenan Pantheon's failed attack is fueled by her desire to do this. Since the Poenan Pantheon predicted a BadFuture where she and Silver Spoon became villains as adults, she is determined to prove them wrong in every way, because otherwise they'll just find an excuse to try and finish the job. While she does gain a lot of allies who want to protect and encourage her, like Luminiferous and Sunny Field, and she is eventually [[KarmicJackpot rewarded for her efforts]], she is still plagued by the fear of fulfilling the Poenans' predictions about her even in the smallest ways.

She also harbored an InferioritySuperiorityComplex regarding her Cutie Mark, thinking it to be useless outside of marking her as a wealthy SpoiledBrat. Things would get worse when, after reforming herself, she and Silver Spoon were attacked and nearly killed by a few [[KnightTemplar Poenan]] deities and their mortal worshipers on the basis that they were both predicted to become evil, leaving her with a deep fear of validating the Poenan Pantheon's claims that persisted even after becoming the Red Power Ranger and a demigoddess.

* WeaponBasedCharacterization: As the Red Power Ranger, her main weapon is a gun with multiple applications, such as [[TranquilizerDart tranquilizer darts]], a [[SmokeOut smokescreen]], and others. This characterizes her as a good leader who will always look for ways to help her subordinates, only killing as a last resort. It also shows that GoodIsNotSoft -- while she abhors killing, she accepts the necessity of it and will do it if she has to.

* DemonicPossession: At one point, she is possessed by the wicked spirit of Mistletoe Dreamer, who tried using her as a host body. Not wanting to validate the Poenans' claims of her having potential to become TheAntiChrist, she drives Mistletoe Dreamer's spirit away from her body through [[HeroicWillpower sheer force of will]]. This impresses Neighjor so much that he chooses her for the role of the Red Power Ranger, despite the Poenan Pantheon's protests.



* FriendlySniper: Despite being TheLeader of the Fourth Age's Power Rangers, she is the group's designated sniper, as evidenced by her using a gun as her main weapon and her [[HumongousMecha Skunk Zord]] being equipped with a sniper rifle. She's also a benevolent superheroine, demiggoddess, and leader who encourages those she leads and desires to help people earn redemption, as well as protect children from bullies.
* GrowingWings: While she does gain wings upon Ascending to demi-godhood (as is normal for non-Pegasi Ponies who Ascend), her case is unique because she reincarnated as one of her Second Age ancestors, Diamond Glow, which gave her diamond-like wings.



* ImmortalityBeginsAtTwenty: Subverted. She's an Alicorn demigoddess, and because deities grow "older" by getting StrongerWithAge in the Codexverse, this makes her the equivalent of an infant deity.

Thanks in part to the Cutie Mark Crusaders' positive influence, she gets older, realizes she puts behind was wrong to follow her abusive mother and act like a bully, so she chooses to become good and put her bullying ways and works on behind her. While this does lead to her becoming good thanks to benevolent figures like Luminiferous steering her on the right path. By the time she's an adult, she has become a great hero superheroine and goddess. However, demigoddess, this [[ReformedButRejected didn't absolve her of guilt guilt]] in the Poenans' eyes, motivating them eyes of several Ponyvillers or the [[KnightTemplar Poenans]], the latter who tried to try kill both her and Silver Spoon. Spoon because of their potential for evil. Her near-death experience would leave left her frequently plagued by self-doubt of with self-doubt, wanting to prove her own goodness and capabilities even after becoming a heroine and demigoddess.HeelFaceTurn was genuine yet constantly wondering if she truly deserved to be rewarded for her deeds.



* SmellySkunk: Her AnimalMotif as a Power Ranger is a skunk.
* SourOutsideSadInside: Prior to her HeelFaceTurn, she was a haughty, spoiled brat who loved tormenting other foals (especially the Cutie Mark Crusaders) alongside Silver Spoon, but deep down she envied them them for being poorer because they had loving families while she got an snobbish, emotionally abusive mother and a frequently absent workaholic father. She also harbored an InferioritySuperiorityComplex regarding her Cutie Mark, thinking it to be useless outside of marking her as a wealthy SpoiledBrat. Things would get worse when, after reforming herself, she and Silver Spoon were attacked and nearly killed by a few [[KnightTemplar Poenan]] deities and their mortal worshipers on the basis that they were both predicted to become evil, leaving her with a deep fear of validating the Poenan Pantheon's claims that persisted even after becoming the Red Power Ranger and a demigoddess.

* SmellySkunk: Her AnimalMotif Unlike Lancer Knight, whose spirit animal was the [[HonorableElephant Elephant]], her spirit animal is the Skunk. This not only gave her a Skunk-themed [[HumongousMecha Zord]] (with one of its abilities involving foul-smelling [[TrickBomb smoke bombs]]), but also Skunk-themed armor and unique powers relating to her spirit animal like PsychicPowers, barriers, and SuperEmpowerment. By her own admission, she was offended by her spirit animal and thought it was Neighjor's way of insulting her, but relented when Neighjor [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/930826834/5022241556 explained the Skunk's strengths and symbolism to her]].

* TrickBomb: True to the animal it was based on, her [[HumongousMecha Skunk Zord]] comes with foul-smelling smoke bombs.



* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Part of her mane is white, and she was initially a spoiled bully who looked down on "[[FantasticSlurs Blank Flanks]]" and tormented other foals -- including the Cutie Mark Crusaders at the time. However, much of her behavior stemmed from the indoctrination and emotional abuse she received from her mother, [[RichBitch Spoiled Rich]], who essentially wanted a miniature version of herself. It's later averted once she realizes her mother was wrong and consciously chooses to be good, becoming a ReformedBully. Later on, thanks to many positive influences in her life, she would become the [[HenshinHero Red Power Ranger]] and an Alicorn demigoddess, as well as a demi-divine {{Reincarnation}} of one of her Second Age ancestors, Diamond Glow.

* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Taran is the son of a ultraviolent mentally-unstable/traumatised former warlord, but grows up well-adjusted, heroic and kindhearted with a far less violent disposition, something which Gabriel actually approves as he wants Taran to become better than the 'monster' he was.

Introduced in [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/900966875/4961555882 drabble]], the Timeless Wanderer was once the very first mortal to ever be given the Time Twirler, with the expectation that they would use it to do constructive good. Instead, the power and potential offered drove him mad and wicked, and he abused it to become a brutal, depraved and unstoppable tyrant until the Time Primeval and their Scions took it away and cursed him to wander the world, 'Forever Timeless' until the end of days to atone for his enormous number of sins, something he's still working on in the present day.
