* WorkHardPlayHard: Pinkie Pie is quite the entertainer and a party animal, but she takes her craft seriously. She has a hidden Party Planning Cave underneath Sugarcube Corner where she keeps highly detailed files on every single ponies' birthdays, special occasions, as well as their likes and dislikes. So she has a party planned for every occasion when it is called for. Even lampshaded by the other Mane five, who admit they took for granted how hard Pinkie works to entertain ponies.

[[folder:#-D]]

[[folder:E-L]]

[[folder:M-P]]

[[folder:Q-Z]]

[[folder:Characterization and Background]]

* EveryoneHasStandards:

** In "Party Pooped" it's shown that despite seeming to be completely odd in her knowledge of other ponies, and all evidence leading to the contrary, she's so knowledgeable because she is actually very organized; to the point of having a folder for everyone she meets and all their characteristics that would help her both in befriending them, and planning their ideal party! This is expanded in "The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows" where it's revealed that she is in charge of organizing all the files at Town Hall!

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness:
** In "Party of One", Pinkie becomes very depressed after no one wants to come to her party. She starts going crazy thinking her friends have betrayed her trust and becomes very cynical and bitter. It turns out they had planned a surprise birthday party for her, which is able to switch her back to her usual self.
** In the 2017 movie, [[spoiler: she tells Twilight that she doesn't even want to talk to her after Twilight tried to steal the pearl from Seaquestria and yelled at her that she would be better off without friends]]. If [[NiceGirl Pinkie]] [[MotorMouth Pie]] doesn't want to talk to you, you know you've really messed up.
** In the infamous "The Mean 6", she completely drops all goofball tenancies when she sees Fluttershy crying alone in the forest, and angrily shouts at Mean Twilight (thinking she's the real Twilight) in defense of her.

** And in "Sonic Rainboom," it takes her no time at all to find the book with the flight spell Twilight needs, even though the library is a total mess. Her explanation? "It landed on my face when Rainbow Dash knocked me into the bookcase."

* SanitySlippage: In "Party of One", where she starts talking to inanimate objects and [[HearingVoices they talk back to her]].

[[folder:Appearance]]
* ChocolateBaby: Her mother is silver and her father is brown, but she came out pink.
* ColorCodedCharacters: [[MeaningfulName Her name's Pinkie, so naturally she's pink]].
* ExpressiveHair:
** In "The Cutie Mark Chronicles", Pinkie Pie's mane is flat when she's young and changes into a poofy mess when she sees the Sonic Rainboom.
** In "Party of One", her mane goes flat again after she thinks her friends don't like her anymore. As soon as she cheers up, it poofs up again. In addition to her hairstyle changing, her entire body darkens a bit. Not just her coat; all of her.
** Played with in "The Best Night Ever" where Pinkie tries to tame her mane for the Gala, only to have it poof back up again because she's so excited.
** Strangely this trope is avoided in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E1TheReturnOfHarmonyPart1 The Return of Harmony - Part 1]]". [[spoiler:Despite Discord's hypnosis turning her serious and sour, her mane stays the same.]]
** Happens again in "Magical Mystery Cure" when the cutie mark swap leaves her trying in vain to run Sweet Apple Acres and completely miserable, flat mane and all. Just as in "Party of One", she regains her poofy appearance again when her cutie mark is restored.
** In "Pinkie Pride," you can see her mane deflate just a little bit, when the townsponies carry Cheese Sandwich off in their excitement, leaving her behind.
** Her mane deflates a little bit again in "Maud Pie" when her friends tell her they can't get along with her older sister.
* InnocentBlueEyes: She's into fun and smiles and happiness, and has the eyes and personality to match!
* MeaningfulName: She's pink, and her name is Pinkie. You do the math. Also, her last name is "Pie" and she works at a bakery.
* MegaTwintails: She occasionally wears her mane in pigtails, and when she does they're huge, poofy and bigger than her head.
* NiceHat: Wears them on various occasions, such as a pudding-bowl hat while playing Chancellor Puddinghead in "Hearth's Warming Eve," and a brightly colored umbrella hat in "Feeling Pinkie Keen."
* OverlyLongTongue: As seen in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E10SwarmOfTheCentury Swarm of the Century]]", as per the usual RuleOfFunny.
* PinkMeansFeminine: She's pink from the top of her mane to the tips of her hooves.
* QuirkyCurls: She has a curly mane and tail that's fitting with her quirky personality. Oddly, her hair seems to be naturally straight, since it poofed up into its current style when she witnessed the Sonic Rainboom and experienced joy for the first time as a filly. It's stayed that way ever since, only straightening again when she's depressed (i.e. very rarely).
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: In "Too Many Pinkie Pies", she actually acknowledges this about herself.
* RoseHairedSweetie: A very bright, intense pink in contrast to Fluttershy's more subdued light pink, showing her intensely cheery personality.
* SillyWalk: All the other ponies will trot or gallop. Pinkie will bounce, complete with unique sound effect. The name for this gait is "pronking" and there arguably could not be a better word for how Pinkie Pie travels.
* TurnsRed: [[spoiler:She ''literally'' does this when Applejack breaks her Pinkie Promise in the episode "The Last Roundup".]]
* TwitchyEye: During "Party of One" when she's throwing her party of crazy.
* WhenSheSmiles: This is a plot point in the series. When she was a filly, she was pretty dreary considering her upbringing. Once she saw the Sonic Rainboom and learned how to smile, she found her love of parties and earned her cutie mark.
* WingdingEyes: In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E9BridleGossip Bridle Gossip]]" as part of her song, and in [[http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=199794913371287 this]] piece of stock art.
* WipeThatSmileOffYourFace: She undergoes this in "Magic Duel" when Trixie removes her mouth.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Abilities]]
* AwesomenessByAnalysis:
** She has an eidetic memory for what makes people happy.
** She was also quick to figure out the mystery in "[=MMMystery=] on the Friendship Express", once she has a more clear understanding of the "crime scene".
* BadassAdorable: She's the most energetic and happy go lucky character in the show; she's cute and is Fluttershy's equal in the area, but if she sees her friends in trouble, she will stop at nothing to help them.
* BadassNormal: She doesn't have the magic of a unicorn or the flight of a Pegasus, but [[GeniusDitz is smarter than she looks]], and RuleOfFunny allows her to accomplish a lot of things her powered friends can't. For instance, she solves the problem of the Parasprites by herself while none of her friends can. She is also able to outrun Rainbow Dash or mysteriously already be at Rainbow Dash's various destinations before she even gets there.
* {{Balloonacy}}: Pinkie seems to have bunches of party balloons on-hoof which she uses to [[NotQuiteFlight float for short periods of time]]. While she rarely uses them for travel, they're most often used during songs or other odd situations.
* BeyondTheImpossible: [[spoiler:In the episode "Magic Duel" it's revealed that she can play multiple instruments at the same time ''without'' using her mouth.]]
* ChekhovsSkill: Her ability to play multiple instruments at once is first displayed in "Swarm of the Century". [[spoiler: It later helps Twilight defeat Trixie in "Magic Duel".]]
* TheCatCameBack: One of her stranger abilities is to appear out of nowhere when someone is trying to avoid her.
* CheerThemUpWithLaughter: As the bearer of the Element of Laughter, Pinkie Pie's mission is to spread joy and laughter all over Equestria. In the first episode, she helps her friends overcome their fear of a scary forest by encouraging them to laugh at it. Although later episodes show that results will vary, as her delivery of humour ranges from cheers to cringe.
* ConfusionFu: Whatever her enemies expect her to do to them, it probably doesn't include blasting them with a cannon pulled from {{Hammerspace}} or [[EquippableAlly using one of her friends as an impromptu machine gun]].
* CrazyPrepared:
** How does she set up parties so quickly? Simple. She has a ''party cannon''!!!
** She keeps marshmallows on her person in case somepony [[FireBreathingDiner eats something too spicy]], and keeps rubber balls and eyepatches stashed all around Ponyville in case of emergencies.
** And she never leaves home without a can of baking powder.
** She has a file on every single pony she meets, with their likes dislikes, fears and more... even if they didn't tell her those things to begin with!
* DeusExMachina: Downplayed, but if an episode needs to progress, it's relatively easy to bring her and her Fourth Wall-breaking abilities in to move things on to the next point quickly.
** In the pilot, instead of searching the library and wasting time, Pinkie's already found information about the Elements of Harmony in the few seconds it takes for Twilight to explain she can't find information.
** "Sonic Rainboom" has Pinkie find the spell that gives Rarity her wings in the mess of books on the floor just because it happened to fall on her nose.
** Pinkie Sense is mostly used for events, but "Feeling Pinkie Keen" has her specifically point out Froggy Bottom Bog as the site of the climax with no explanation of how she came to that logic.
** "It's About Time" has Twilight bring Pinkie to the archives. It seems senseless, but Pinkie's the one who locates the time-travel spell that causes the whole mess in about five seconds.
** "Magic Duel" has Pinkie do her one-pony band from "Swarm of the Century" as the stroke that causes Trixie to admit defeat and go for Twilight's fake amulet. Pinkie at this time still doesn't have her mouth after Trixie deleted it and yet it still involves the horn and harmonica.
* DreadfulMusician: Zigzagged. While she loves to sing, she takes the same [[GenkiGirl high energy]], [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} stream-of-consciousness]] approach to music as she does to everything else. Consequently, her musical numbers are usually greeted with displeasure or disdain when she launches into them, and her friends are often seen looking embarrassed in the background. However, when it comes to playing musical instruments, Pinkie's actually pretty good; she's a great [[OneManBand one-pony band]] whenever it's necessary.
** She is called out as this in "Over a Barrel", [[NiceJobBreakingItHero where her song is actively harmful to the peace talks]].
--->'''Chief Thunderhooves:''' It seems that Sheriff Silver Star and I have come to an agreement.\\
'''Sheriff Silver Star:''' [[HopeSpot Indeed we have]].\\
''[beat]''\\
'''Chief Thunderhooves:''' That was the worst performance we've ever seen.
** It happens again in "Baby Cakes" when she tries to entertain Pound and Pumpkin by singing her "Oink oink oink" song. The reception is [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/what_the_shit_3602.png less than positive, to say the least.]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BC4v2lwll-8 FLUUUUUUUGELHORRRRRN~]]. After that incident, Rainbow Dash made sure to keep her away from the Flugel Horns.
** On the other hand, she can sing well when the writers want her to. "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E18AFriendInDeed Smile, Smile, Smile]]" has the whole town doing a big dance number with her.
** Meanwhile in "Castle-Mania", [[spoiler:Pinkie demonstrates that she's very good at the [[OminousPipeOrgan pipe organ]], [[InstantExpert despite having never played one before]].]]
* EatDirtCheap: Pinkie's way of tracking another pony involves tasting the dirt. For once, it isn't so much a weird Pinkie thing than something earth ponies are known to do, including her family.
* ExorcistHead: She can sometimes turn her head around far more than 360 degrees before it snaps back in place. Notably while watching Rainbow Dash's aerial maneuvers at the beginning of "Read It and Weep".
* FastTunnelling: A side effect of her SuperSpeed, first shown in "Bats!". She can also use her mane as a ''drill''.
* GadgeteerGenius: Not stated explicitly, but occasionally implied (like with her flying machine in "Griffon the Brush Off" and her Party Cannon introduced in "Sweet and Elite"). What makes this more amusing is that [[Creator/AndreaLibman her voice actress]] has a degree in engineering.
* {{Hammerspace}}: Pinkie seems to have access to this, as she always seems to have what she needs for a gag.
* HammerspaceHair: She has been shown to store several objects within her mane. Any saddlebag she packs tends to develop a surprisingly large capacity, as well.
* HyperAwareness: Played with. Despite her [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny often non-existent attention span]], Pinkie usually spots the obvious before [[FailedASpotCheck anyone else clues in]].
* ImplacableMan: Is able to follow a rapidly fleeing Rainbow Dash during "Griffon the Brush-Off" and even get ahead of her, despite the fact that Rainbow flies at top speed while Pinkie skips ahead without a care. Repeats the feat during "Party of One", although she doesn't bother with the skipping. This is taken UpToEleven in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E18AFriendInDeed A Friend in Deed]]"; Cranky flees far and wide in Equestria but can't escape Pinkie's apology.
* ImprovisedWeapon: Her fighting style consists of using these. She's been shown to weaponize cakes, her party cannon, and ''[[EquippableAlly Twilight]]''.
* InexplicablyAwesome: Pinkie Pie regularly stares at, leans on, or ignores the fourth wall with {{Aside Glance}}s and CameraAbuse, defies the laws of physics whenever convenient for the plot or humor and launches into musicals when nopony else does. She's popped out of locations too small for her to fit into, appeared ''inside'' a mirror[[note]]Although it may be just in Twilight's head after being nagged over and over to not tell any secrets[[/note]] and even fought the [[IrisOut closing iris]] at the end of an episode. While this in itself isn't unusual for a cartoon, she's the only pony in ''this'' show who behaves like that. Everypony else is well aware that Pinkie Pie doesn't work with the same rules as anypony else and they just do their best to ignore the weirdness. To drive the point home, this is a setting with magic-using ponies, [[UpToEleven and Pinkie is strange even to them]]. [[BeyondTheImpossible She is explicitly stated to be too weird for magic to explain.]]
** This was finally {{lampshaded}} in "Too Many Pinkie Pies", when Pinkie Pie, so as not to disturb Rainbow Dash's nap, slowed herself mid-dive into a pool. Rainbow Dash was shocked enough to ask, "How did you do that?"
** In Magic Duel, we get this gem when Twilight is questioned on how she suddenly made ten instruments appear out of nowhere and all being played at once by a single pony with no mouth.
--->'''Twilight:''' That wasn't magic, that was ''just Pinkie Pie''.
* InsaneTrollLogic: In "Feeling Pinkie Keen", Twilight starts out trying to figure out Pinkie sense, which is a series of twitches that can predict when something's going to happen in the future. After Twilight's numerous attempts and injuries, she goes to Froggy Bottom Bogg in the hopes of discovering what the big doozy is. After surviving an encounter with a hydra, Twilight loses her cool, eventually accepting that somehow, Pinkie sense just inexplicably makes sense:
-->'''Twilight''': Ooh... I give up...\\
'''Spike''': Give what up, Twi?\\
'''Twilight''': The fight. I can't fight it anymore. I don't understand how, why, or what, but Pinkie Sense somehow... makes sense. I don't see how it does, but it just does. Just because I don't understand doesn't mean it's not true.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Sometimes; she's also aware of her tendencies to sing songs out of nowhere.
* OffscreenTeleportation: Has a tendency to appear out of nowhere if she's not on screen. If she goes out of shot or behind an object, she can come back in from ''anywhere''.
* MuggleBornOfMages: Played with. Pinkie sucks at farmwork, even though she is an Earth Pony (who are said to have magical aptitude to agriculture) and was raised on a farm. However, given her downright ComboPlatterPowers, you could argue that her family are the real "Muggles" in this case.
** And even then, during King Sombra's BadFuture in "The Cutie Re-Mark," she is shown matching Maud's rock-farming aptitude, implying that her usual non-farmwork-inclination is merely psychological.
* PhotographicMemory: Pinkie can remember every detail she's ever seen or heard about her friends, no matter how small or obscure.
** In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E18AFriendInDeed A Friend in Deed]]" she starts the episode by greeting various ponies and saying something about their life. [[spoiler: She recognized Matilda from Cranky's scrapbook and realized that she was the one he was looking for.]]
** In "Too Many Pinkie Pies", she easily finds the magic pond from a rhyme that Nana Pinkie taught her when she was just a filly, whereas Twilight had never heard of it before.
* ThePowerOfRock: In this case, The Power Of Oompah! "Swarm of the Century" she uses a one pony band to lead the parasprites out of town.
* PrehensileHair: She can hold things with her forelock and use it to tunnel underground. Her ''Equestria Girls'' counterpart can open bottles with hers.
* PrehensileTail: She can also hang by her tail, use it as a drill, hold/operate a camera with it, and spin it to fly helicopter-style
* RealityWarper:
** [[RuleOfFunny Any time it aids the joke]], she's shown with this ability. She's appeared in two places in a single animation frame several times and spends about half of "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E20GreenIsntYourColor Green Isn't Your Color]]" popping out of places she can't possibly fit in just to remind Twilight that secret-keeping is a big deal.
** The others have recognized this in-universe; they come to ''expect'' weirdness when Pinkie is involved. [[spoiler: Twilight even ''counts'' on this in "Magic Duel".]]
* RenaissanceMan: She's the most social pony in Ponyville; she knows everyone's names and birthdays, and keeps detailed psychological profiles in a hidden room under her bakery; and she has all the skills she needs to support her love of parties: she's a superb baker, a good singer and musician, a good decorator and event planner, an excellent psychologist, a skilled zoologist, a talented artillerist, a brilliant mechanic, and a genius engineer. She's also the TropeCodifier for WrongContextMagic, and can travel through mirrors more conveniently than the most talented wizards of her setting.
* {{Seers}}:
** "Pinkie Sense" allows her to predict something that will happen in the near future; like falling flower pots. She also has the uncanny ability to [[TheCatCameBack predict where other ponies are going to be and what they're going to do]].
** Twilight tries to exploit this to see what Future Twilight meant when she said that something horrible will happen next Tuesday morning. It... doesn't go as planned.
-->'''[[WebVideo/FriendshipIsWitchcraft Madam]] Pinkie Pie:''' Oh, Twilight, Pinkie Sense doesn't work like that! It's only for immediate emergencies.\\
''[[[FlowerPotDrop a flowerpot falls on Twilight's head]]]''\\
'''[[WebVideo/FriendshipIsWitchcraft Madam]] Pinkie Pie:''' Like that. [[LampshadeHanging Huh, where'd that come from?]]
* SpiderSense: Her Pinkie Sense detects immediate danger.
* StealthHiBye: She's so skilled with this that she can keep pace with Rainbow Dash.
* SuddenlyFluentInGibberish: At the beginning of "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E15FeelingPinkieKeen Feeling Pinkie Keen]]", she claims to understand a frog's ribbit as "'nice catch' in Frog."
* SuperSpeed: Whenever it serves a [[RuleOfFunny sight gag]], she can run on land ''faster'' than Rainbow Dash can fly! This is pushed into [[Franchise/TheFlash Flash]] territory in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E6PowerPonies Power Ponies]]".
* SuperStrength: Implied by being an earth pony, though rarely directly shown. The Sombra-dominated BadFuture in "The Cutie Re-Mark" shows that she at least has the potential to develop strength on par with her sister Maud, who can drill through rock with her bare hooves.
* SupremeChef: She works as a baker[=/=]candy maker at the Sugarcube Corner and is very much adept at it ([[LethalChef unless assisted by an exhausted or overenthusiastic pony]]) even if Gummy taking a bath in the punch is her "special ingredient".
* ToonPhysics: Pinkie frequently does this sort of thing. In "Too Many Pinkie Pies", she uses a rope swing to launch into the air and plummets toward a swimming hole... Only to stop just above the water and slowly sink in because she didn't want to bother Rainbow Dash, who was looking to relax by the water. Rainbow Dash is baffled by this:
-->'''Rainbow Dash:''' ...How'd you do that?
* WalkingWasteland: When Pinkie's depressed, as in 'hair-goes-flat-and-coat-becomes-muted-complete-and-abject-despair' depressed, she goes from bringing sunshine and laughs wherever she goes to sucking all the fun out of her immediate surroundings; where Pinkamena walks, flowers wilt and balloons deflate.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Relationships]]
* BabiesEverAfter: In the series DistantFinale, [[spoiler:she has a son named Li'l Cheese with Cheese Sandwich. Him having eyelashes caused some confusion, but [[https://twitter.com/TheBiggestJim/status/1184817091523694592 they were just given to make him look cuter]]]].
* BigBrotherIsWatching: She has detailed dossiers on everypony in Ponyville. She even knows that Twilight doesn't like quesadillas.
* BigSisterInstinct: Though she's younger, she does ''not'' tolerate anyone insulting Maud.
* CoolBigSis:
** To the Cakes' twin babies. Even after her first disastrous foalsitting experience, she became their go-to sitter once she showed how good she really was at the job.
** Pinkie seems to be this to many younger characters, including the CMC. Applebloom is overjoyed when she finds out Pinkie might be related to them, bouncing around and squealing over the prospect of having another sister.
** She claims to be this for Fluttershy, who objects because she's a year older than Pinkie.
** While not seen much of it, she is an actual big sister to her younger twin, Marble Pie. While they are PolarOppositeTwins, they're on good relations (Marble smiling when Pinkie gives her a good-bye kiss in a holiday episode and Marble uncharacteristically glaring at Limestone for the latter's insensitivity indicate Marble holds a good regard toward Pinkie.)
* CountryCousin: Extremely downplayed. Applejack is potentially her fourth cousin twice removed.[[note]]The papers that could confirm it had the name smudged.[[/note]]
* EtTuBrute: One of Pinkie's greatest fears is that her friends will stop liking her and not want to be her friend anymore.
** In the episode "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E25PartyOfOne Party Of One]]", she assumes that this is happening to her after Spike tells her that her friends don't like her parties anymore. As it turns out, [[spoiler: her friends are setting up a surprise birthday party without telling her about it.]]
** In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E1TheReturnOfHarmonyPart1 The Return Of Harmony - Part 1]]" Discord plays on this fear to convince her that everypony, including her friends, are laughing at her behind her back. This alone breaks her, but a little additional brainwashing causes her to become dead-serious and angry and results in her yelling at Twilight when she found her.
** Her depression and resulting identity crisis in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E3TooManyPinkiePies Too Many Pinkie Pies]]" is most likely a result of this fear, as she sees how unhappy she has directly made her friends.
** In "Pinkie Pride," she becomes convinced that her friends forget about her in their excitement about Cheese Sandwich.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Pinkie tends to act more immature and childish, playing the role of the foolish sibling. Maud is portrayed as more stoic and mature, implying that she is the more responsible of the two.
* FriendToAllChildren: She loves playing with little kids, and chaperons some of them during Nightmare Night. Perhaps it's not a surprise, considering her [[OneOfTheKids childlike personality.]] She also loves the Cake twins dearly like they were her own little siblings.
* HappilyMarried: In the DistantFinale, [[spoiler: Pinkie is married to Cheese Sandwich, and they even have a son named Li'l Cheese]].
* IntergenerationalFriendship: With everypony in Ponyville of every age, from foals like Pumpkin and Pound Cake to senior citizens like Mr. Wattle, Matlida and [[spoiler: Cranky.]]
* MagneticHero: There is literally ''no pony'' in Ponyville that ''isn't'' her friend. The only characters she ''can't'' befriend are the antagonists, and that's probably because they don't stick around long enough or are too fundamentally screwed up. This led to some trouble when [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E18AFriendInDeed she met someone who didn't want to be her friend]] [[spoiler:and she ''still'' befriended him by the end of the episode.]]
* OfficialCouple: In the series finale, [[spoiler:she marries Cheese Sandwich]].
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Her full name is Pinkamena Diane Pie, but is known to everypony as Pinkie.
* PhraseCatcher: "Pinkie Pie, you are so random" and "She's just being Pinkie" get thrown her way a fair bit.
* PolarOppositeTwins: With her ShrinkingViolet sister, Marble.
* PromotionToParent: The Cakes promote her to the regular babysitter of their twin children at the end of the episode "Baby Cakes".
* RedOniBlueOni: Pinkie's loud, hyper personality makes her 100% Red Oni to all five of her friends.
* SiblingYinYang: With Maud Pie. Pinkie is hyperactive and immature, while Maud is TheStoic and more mature. Maud even lampshades this.
** Also with Marble Pie. Pinkie is outgoing, while Marble is a ShrinkingViolet.
** She has this with all her siblings in different ways; her sister Limestone is...[[{{Jerkass}} not as cheerful]] as she is, which Pinkie herself actually seems annoyed by.

* TheCameo: Her face shows up in a blink-and-you-miss-it cameo during the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aODTj_xwxsc "Wingin' It"]] musical number on ''Series/TheAquabatsSuperShow'' episode "Cowboy Android!"

* EdibleAmmunition: She throws cakes [[spoiler:to fend off Spike after he transforms into a huge rampaging monster in the episode "Secret Of My Excess".]]
* {{Expy}}:
** Of Surprise, a G1 pegasus who [[MemeticMutation loved fun things]]
** G3 and G3.5 Pinkie Pie who also loved parties. Cemented with the first thing she says: "Surprise!" the catchphrase of said pony.
** She also shares many traits with G1 Fizzy; her relentlessly GenkiGirl personality.
* {{Flanderization}}: Parodied and deconstructed in "Too Many Pinkie Pies". [[spoiler:Each of Pinkie's clones are essentially a flanderized version of her. It was the original Pinkie Pie's HiddenDepths that allowed her friends to figure out which was the real one.]]
* FullNameUltimatum: Pinkamena Diane Pie, as revealed by her mother in "The Cutie Mark Chronicles".
* {{GASP}}:
** [[ItMakesSenseInContext Her introduction]].

* KarmicProtection: Shares this with Fluttershy. Pinkie's [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} strange behavior]] and [[InnocentlyInsensitive insensitiveness]] seldom gets reprisal, most notably [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E18AFriendInDeed with poor Cranky]]. Those who tried to discredit Pinkie get [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E15FeelingPinkieKeen a rather painful Humiliation Conga]]. That said, sometimes this KarmicProtection is stripped off, [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E12BabyCakes resulting in a very battered babysitter]], or when [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E20TheOneWherePinkiePieKnows she nearly went crazier than usual trying to hide the news about Shining Armor and Cadence's baby]] as payback for "Green isn't Your Color".
* KubrickStare: Delivers one to the mane cast after being dragged to [[spoiler: her surprise party]] in "Party Of One".
* MeaningfulName: She's pink and she loves sweet things. (She herself is sweet.)
* NonSequitur: This classic exchange from "Cutie Mark Chronicles":
-->'''Pinkie Pie:''' And that's how Equestria was made.\\
'''Scootaloo:''' Wha... huh?\\
'''Apple Bloom:''' Look! We're here!\\
'''Pinkie Pie:''' Maybe on the way home I can tell you the story of how I got my cutie mark. It's a gem!
* NoodleIncident: After having to eat twelve of Sugar Belle's terrible muffins in "The Cutie Map - Part 2", she laments, "I've accidentally eaten cardboard tastier than that."
* OddNameOut: Her full name is Pinkamena '''Diane''' Pie, which means she's one of the few characters so far to have a middle name, and a remarkably un-pony-ish name to boot.
* OdeToFood: Her "Cupcakes" song is about how she likes to eat and make cupcakes.
* OutOfFocus: This has happened to her in 2018, where she's been getting less screentime in season 8 and has been replaced by Rainbow Dash as the franchise's representative. This may be because her human counterpart has gained more popularity and screentime in the ''Equestria Girls'' franchise, although it's not confirmed.
* PerkyGoth: Appears with this persona in a new toyline called "Pinkie Pie's Fashion Boutique". The packaging has a black, white and pink color scheme and even her design is different (she has black and white streaks in her mane and even her cutie mark has a red, black and white balloon). This hasn't appeared or even been hinted at in the cartoon... [[MerchandiseDriven Yet]].
* PoorCommunicationKills: If Pinkie Pie had told her friends in the beginning how dangerous the parasprites were and that music would lure them away, a lot of trouble could have been saved.
* RhymesOnADime: Not as frequently as Zecora, but Pinkie still likes to rhyme a lot... especially when she's singing.
* RuleOfFunny: She can do anything that makes the situation funny, bordering on RealityWarper. It is especially noticeable when things aren't funny; at which point she loses most of her "abilities".
* SpeechImpairedAnimal: Her characterization in "Bridle Gossip", where the Mane Six are cursed and Pinkie Pie can only talk unclearly.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Once in a great while, her name will be spelled as "Pinky Pie".
* TerribleArtist: Her drawing of her friends in Scare Master (and possibly Nightmare Moon, as she probably planned the games), her drawing of Rainbow Dash in Pinkie Pride, and her lack of coloring skills in Princess Twilight Sparkle - Part 1.
* TerritorialComicRelief: In "Pinkie Pride", Pinkie finds her position as Ponyville's resident goofball/party planner challenged by Cheese Sandwich. Afraid that her friends will abandon her in favor of Cheese, she challenges him to a "goof off", with the funniest pony being declared the winner.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Slipped into this in her "Smile Song" ("Cause cheering up my friends is just what Pinkie's here to do", "The corners of your mouth turned up is always Pinkie's dream").
* VocalDissonance: Though still feminine, her voice gets a ''lot'' deeper when she starts crying.
* VoiceForTheVoiceless: She does almost all of the talking for her mostly silent sister, Marble Pie.
* VoiceOfTheLegion: PlayedForLaughs in "The Last Roundup"; she chews out Applejack in one after [[BerserkButton she breaks a Pinkie Promise]]. She's been compared to [[Film/TheExorcist Regan]] for this.
* WeirderThanUsual: Considering how everypony is used to Pinkie being a goofball, it takes a lot before they notice this, but it happens.
** A variation in the episode "Feeling Pinkie Keen", when Spike notices Pinkie acting strangely. Twilight gives the standard response of "She's just being Pinkie Pie". Spike watches her for a moment and notes that she's being "Super-''extra'' Pinkie Pie today."
** In "The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows", Pinkie tries to pass off her weird behavior (due to the stress of keeping a secret) as her ''usual'' weird behavior, but the others are not fooled, with Rainbow Dash even using the exact trope name to describe Pinkie's behavior.
--->'''Rainbow Dash:''' I know the bar is set pretty high, but does anypony else think that Pinkie Pie was acting weirder than usual?
** Yet another instance with Pinkie Pie in "To Where and Back Again" when she is replaced by a changeling.
--->'''Starlight Glimmer:''' That was... strange...\\
'''Trixie:''' Isn't she always strange?\\
'''Starlight Glimmer:''' Yeah, but... not like that.
* WeirdnessCoupon: Pinkie does oddball things and nopony gives them a second glance because "she's Pinkie Pie".
** In "Party of One", Rainbow Dash's freakout at meeting her has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that Pinkie Pie's dressed like a hay bale in [[Creator/MarxBrothers Groucho Marx]] glasses.
** Works against her in "Swarm of the Century", when her search for instruments is dismissed as her just being Pinkie, when really she knows of the Parasprites' weakness.
--->'''Rainbow Dash:''' Pinkie Pie, you are ''so'' random.\\
'''Pinkie Pie:''' ''[scoffs]'' [[NoYou And YOU are all so]] ''[[ScrewThisImOuttaHere STUBBORN!!]]''
** In "Too Many Pinkie Pies", all of her friends ignore any differences between the way each Pinkie is acting, because they are unsure of how the ''real'' Pinkie would act.
** [[spoiler:Her weirdness is not only expected but ''counted on'' by Twilight in "Magic Duel".]]
* WolverinePublicity: If Twilight is the main character, then Pinkie was the show's ambassador for most of the show's run. She's in most of the promotional material, most likely because she's [[PinkProductPloy pink]] and ''was'' the main character for a while in G3. In 2018, she was replaced with Rainbow Dash.

-->A cherrychanga is mashed-up cherries in a tortilla and then deep-fried! Cherrychanga! Great name, huh? Or maybe I should call it a chimicherry? Ooh, that's good too! Which do you think sounds better? Cherrychanga or chimicherry? Or what if I combined them? Chimicherrychanga! What sounds the funniest? I like funny words! One of my favorite funny words is "kumquat"! I didn't make that one up. I would work in a kumquat orchard just so I could say "kumquat" all day! Kumquat, kumquat, kumquat! And "pickle barrel"! Isn't that just the funnest thing to say?! Pickle barrel, pickle barrel, pickle barrel! Say it with me! Pickle barrel kumquat, pickle barrel kumquat, pickle barrel kumquat, chimicherrychanga!...

* UnaffectedBySpice: In the series' debut episode, Twilight Sparkle, distracted by Pinkie's rambling, accidentally mixes hot sauce into her drink and then runs out of the party with her mane and tail on fire. Pinkie then liberally douses a cupcake with the same sauce and downs it without flinching.

* PinkMeansFeminine: She's pink from head to toe.

** Whatever you do, '''NEVER, EVER''' break a Pinkie Promise. The words are "Cross my heart and hope to die, stick a cupcake in my eye..." but the fandom has added to it "...cause if you lie to Pinkie Pie, you better kiss your flank goodbye."

** Whatever you do, '''NEVER, EVER''' break a Pinkie Promise.

* EraSpecificPersonality: G3 Pinkie Pie was TheLeader of the Core 7 late into the generation (beginning around 2007) and wasn't nearly as hyperactive.

** Though WordOfGod puts the ponies ages at roughly late teens/early-twenties, she acts like a hyperactive child much of the time. She has responsibilities and doesn't neglect them, but in her free time she will gravitate towards the first fun thing she finds. This is well demonstrated in "Luna Eclipsed"; when asked if she's too old for trick-or-treating, she emphatically denies the possibility.

* CatchPhrase: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxsuR6hSIQE "Okey dokey lokey."]] and "Whoa!".

* KarmicProtection: Shares this with Fluttershy. Pinkie's [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} strange behavior]] and [[InnocentlyInsensitive insensitiveness]] seldom gets reprisal, most notably [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E18AFriendInDeed with poor Cranky]]. Those who tried to discredit Pinkie get [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E15FeelingPinkieKeen a rather painful Humiliation Conga]]. That said, sometimes this KarmicProtection is stripped off, [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E12BabyCakes resulting in a very battered babysitter]], or when [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E20TheOneWherePinkiePieKnows she nearly went crazier than usual trying to hide the news about Shining Armor and Cadence's baby]] as payback for "Green isn't Your Color."

The bearer of the Element of Laughter. Pinkamena Diane "Pinkie" Pie is a hyperactive earth pony who prances to the beat of her own percussion section. The sheer force of her cheerful personality can be overwhelming at first, but anyone who shows a little patience with her eccentricities is rewarded with a truly unique and wonderful friend who fills every day with laughter. And musical numbers. And PARTIES! Even as she [[RuleOfFunny defies physical reality when the situation is funny]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykGvsUJqqE4 Try to imagine a pink rocket made of happiness.]] That's Pinkie Pie. She represents the Element of Laughter, and her Pillar of Old Equestria is Somnambula.

** Played hard in TheMovie when, [[spoiler: after a series of screw ups from both of them, Pinkie, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness for once deadly serious]], [[WhatTheHellHero calls out Twilight for stealing the Pearl of Transformation and not trusting her friends]]. Twilight, [[RageBreakingPoint in a fit of rage]], fires back all of Pinkie's own acts of selfish carelessness throughout the mission and her complete inability to take the situation seriously, culminating in her disowning her as a friend. Though Twilight instantly regrets this outburst, Pinkie is too distraught to talk to her.]]

-->'''Pinkie Pie:''' ''(falling down the stairs after having to eat twelve of said muffins)'' I've accidentally eaten cardboard tastier than that!

* EveryoneHasStandards: Pinkie Pie may love pranks, but she knows better than to prank Fluttershy, who is extremely sensitive.

* MotorMouth: This is ''weaponized'' in "The Last Roundup". Applejack stonewalls her friends about why she refuses to return to Ponyvile, so Pinkie Pie sidles up to her and chatters about InherentlyFunnyWords until she cracks.
