Night Glider bears more than a passing resemblance in role and looks to Rainbow Dash, while Party Favour is basically a male Pinkie Pie (which includes some logic-defiance with his balloons). While less obvious, Double Diamond and Sugar Belle draws parallels to Applejack and Rarity, with the former being the strong ones of the group while the latter being the ones who take pride in their work.

'''Full Debut:''' "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E1TheCrystallingPart1 The Crystalling – Part 1]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E2TheCrystallingPart2 & 2]]"
->'''Voiced by:''' Ian Hanlin
Starlight Glimmer's childhood friend, who left to study magic in Canterlot when they were foals. In the present day, he lives in the Crystal Empire.
* AdjustingYourGlasses: Sunburst pushes his glasses up quite often, as they keep slipping. Unlike Moondancer, though, he usually does it with his hoof rather than with magic.
* {{Adorkable}}: He is nerdy, kind of shy, has a low opinion on himself, is pretty friendly, loves to study magic and is obviously quite adorable.
* BadassBookworm: Downplayed; despite his thorough knowledge of magic on paper, he is a poor spellcaster. However, his EncyclopaedicKnowledge still winds up saving the day.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Starlight.
* CynicismCatalyst: He's the very reason that Starlight resented Cutie Marks.
* EncyclopaedicKnowledge: Though Sunburst's own magic isn't any greater than the average unicorn's, his ''knowledge'' of magic is superior to that of any of the Princesses. He even recognized at a glance Twilight's reconstruction of the Spell of Relic Reconstitution. More than this though, his talent seems to be applying this knowledge in abstract or theoretical ways (compared to Twilight who is very straightforward when it comes to the use of magic she learns). That is he is able to use his knowledge of how magic works on ancient and powerful objects to realize that no one spell can fix the Crystal Heart, and that various spells must be combined in a certain way.
* {{Hermit}}: It doesn't seem like he gets out much, and he didn't even notice the storm outside his window.
* IneptMage: Downplayed: he certainly felt like one in magic school, but he is still able to use regular unicorn powers at least. Nevertheless, despite his thorough knowledge of magic '''theory''' he is not a powerful spellcaster by any means.
* {{Irony}}: Sunburst was shipped off to Canterlot due to his apparent great magical talent, which caused Starlight's descent into villainy until she was talked out of it by Twilight. When Starlight finally meets up with him again, it turns out his talent is average despite earning a cutie mark from it (albeit this is a misunderstanding, as his real talent is learning about magic rather than actually performing magic spells), further proving her old philosophy wrong (and meaning his cutie mark caused him a fair amount of strife as well).
* MessyHair: Like Moondancer, he seems to have put aside grooming in favor of studying.
* NiceGuy: He's a pretty sweet guy.
* OldShame: [[invoked]] Sunburst couldn't confront Starlight after so long because he didn't want her to know that he really ''wasn't'' all that powerful as she thought he was -- turns out his little show when he gained his Mark was a total fluke.
* PlatonicLifePartners: With Starlight, though that doesn't mean ShipTease doesn't occur.
* RedIsHeroic: Has red hair and helps save the Crystal Empire.
* ShoutOut: He has some similarities to [[Literature/{{Discworld}} Rincewind]], being a red-haired magic user with a scruffy beard who knows how magic works, but not how to use it, had a hard time at magic school, and even though he considers himself a failure, still wears the traditional wizard garb.
* TheSmartGuy: Becomes this to the Crystal Empire.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: He is very smart and knowledgeable about magic and wears glasses. However, spellcasting is not his forte.
* SpearCounterpart: To Moondancer, as they're both unicorns who have dedicated their lives to magical studies, living in relative isolation despite residing in a big city each, and having a very low opinion of themselves; also, a lot of their current issues come from an old, close friendship falling apart, and, in the end, they get much better once rekindling with their respective old friend.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Had he not left Starlight after getting his Cutie Mark, let's just say Equestria wouldn't have gone through seven different apocalypses.
* WalkingSpoiler: To know of his existence is to know of Starlight's FreudianExcuse, hence the unmarked spoilers.
* WeakButSkilled: As an adult, his magical ability is a lot more limited, but he has a lot of magical knowledge through years of research.
* WizardBeard: Downplayed and then subverted; he has a longish goatee, but it turns out he's not a wizard.

->'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E17TheTimesTheyAreAChangeling The Times They Are a Changeling]]"
->'''Voiced by:''' Kyle Rideout
A changeling who defected from Queen Chrysalis. Hiding out in the Crystal Empire, all Thorax really wants in life is to make friends.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Thorax considers himself "different" from other changelings, even from when he was first hatched. The attack on Canterlot led him to realize he wanted real friends, not just to feed on love. [[spoiler:Eventually subverted when he's able to prove to his kind that they don't need to ''steal'' love and can survive by sharing it with friends. This results in him becoming their ''king''.]]
* ApologeticAttacker: Being around love and kindness [[MyInstinctsAreShowing causes him to hiss and growl at anyone around him,]] and whenever that happens he immediately begins apologizing.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Thorax has a teal green dorsal carapace to differentiate him from the usual navy blue changelings. Also his magic aura is blue, unlike the usual SicklyGreenGlow of the changelings.
* DefectorFromDecadence: Thorax was a member of Chrysalis's army during her attack on Canterlot, but upon seeing the Mane Six's friendship and desiring it for himself he defected.
* GlamourFailure: Thorax struggles and fails to hold his disguised form of "Crystal Hoof" when so close to the love given off from Flurry Heart and the other ponies.
* GoodCostumeSwitch: Although not a costume, strictly speaking, in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E25ToWhereAndBackAgainPart1 To Where And Back Again]]" Thorax has new wings that shine like crystal, something that both Starlight and Thorax himself notice. [[spoiler:Taken even further in the second part, where Thorax undergoes a metamorphosis upon actually ''sharing'' love.]]
* TheGoodKing: [[spoiler:Overthrows Chrysalis and becomes the new Changeling King. His metamorphosis also makes him close to Celestia's height with stag beetle-like horns along with his normal one, implying he ''physically'' became a royal Changeling in the process.]]
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Just like Gilda (and Gabby after him), he's now trying to introduce the concept of friendship to his whole race, which is even harder in this case.
* MookFaceTurn: In his backstory. According to Thorax, he was part of the attack on Canterlot by Chrysalis and her army, but upon seeing the friendship of the Mane Six and desiring it for himself, he decided to change.
* MyInstinctsAreShowing: When Spike asks Thorax if anypony had showed him kindness before, the latter responds with a ravenous hiss, saying that "kindness like that sort of brings it out". This comes back to bite him hard when he can't control himself around Flurry Heart. The fact that he's been starving for a long time doesn't help.
* NoInfantileAmnesia: Thorax can remember the day he was hatched with great clarity.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Aside from his uniquely colored carapace, Thorax stands out from other changelings due to having rounder eyes, and differently-shaped ears. [[spoiler:His transformed state is close to Celestia's height and has stag beetle-like horns in addition to his normal one, setting him further apart from other changelings.]]
* RedemptionPromotion: His MookFaceTurn and becoming friends with ponies [[spoiler:triggers a metamorphosis that ultimately causes him to evolve into a Changeling King.]]
* StrangerInAFamiliarLand: In "To Where And Back Again", Thorax was terrified of returning to the Changeling Kingdom, stating he hoped to never see that place again.
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: Thorax tries to do this after Spike betrays him, calling himself an "evil changeling". However, it doesn't last long and he once again saves Spike from falling off a cliff.
* TokenHeroicOrc: Thorax is, as implied by both previous appearances of changelings and his own flashbacks, a very rare genuinely friendly member of the changeling species [[spoiler:until their species-wide HeelFaceTurn, at any rate]].
* TookALevelInBadass: He ends up going all the way from the BlackSheep of his entire kind in "The Times They Are A Changeling" to [[spoiler:their new leader]] in "To Where and Back Again" -- complete with an [[spoiler:EvolutionPowerUp]] on top of it. [[spoiler:When the assembled ponies stand up to Chrysalis, Thorax is shown gathering magic in his new stag-beetle horns, showing he's very willing to fight if she makes a move.]]
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Thorax, as a changeling, is capable of this, even disguising himself as a rock at one point.

* SpearCounterpart: To Moondancer, as they're both unicorns who have dedicated their lives to magical studies, living in relative isolation despite residing in a big city each, and having a very low opinion of themselves; also, a lot of their current issues come from an old, close friendship falling apart, and, in the end, they get much better once rekindling with their respective old friend.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Had he not left Starlight after getting his Cutie Mark, let's just say Equestria wouldn't have gone through seven different apocalypses.
* WalkingSpoiler: To know of his existence is to know of Starlight's FreudianExcuse, hence the unmarked spoilers.
* WeakButSkilled: As an adult, his magical ability is a lot more limited, but he has a lot of magical knowledge through years of research.
* WizardBeard: Downplayed and then subverted; he has a longish goatee, but it turns out he's not a wizard.

[[folder:Thorax]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thorax.png]]
->'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E17TheTimesTheyAreAChangeling The Times They Are a Changeling]]"
->'''Voiced by:''' Kyle Rideout
A changeling who defected from Queen Chrysalis. Hiding out in the Crystal Empire, all Thorax really wants in life is to make friends.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Thorax considers himself "different" from other changelings, even from when he was first hatched. The attack on Canterlot led him to realize he wanted real friends, not just to feed on love. [[spoiler:Eventually subverted when he's able to prove to his kind that they don't need to ''steal'' love and can survive by sharing it with friends. This results in him becoming their ''king''.]]
* ApologeticAttacker: Being around love and kindness [[MyInstinctsAreShowing causes him to hiss and growl at anyone around him,]] and whenever that happens he immediately begins apologizing.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Thorax has a teal green dorsal carapace to differentiate him from the usual navy blue changelings. Also his magic aura is blue, unlike the usual SicklyGreenGlow of the changelings.
* DefectorFromDecadence: Thorax was a member of Chrysalis's army during her attack on Canterlot, but upon seeing the Mane Six's friendship and desiring it for himself he defected.
* GlamourFailure: Thorax struggles and fails to hold his disguised form of "Crystal Hoof" when so close to the love given off from Flurry Heart and the other ponies.
* GoodCostumeSwitch: Although not a costume, strictly speaking, in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E25ToWhereAndBackAgainPart1 To Where And Back Again]]" Thorax has new wings that shine like crystal, something that both Starlight and Thorax himself notice. [[spoiler:Taken even further in the second part, where Thorax undergoes a metamorphosis upon actually ''sharing'' love.]]
* TheGoodKing: [[spoiler:Overthrows Chrysalis and becomes the new Changeling King. His metamorphosis also makes him close to Celestia's height with stag beetle-like horns along with his normal one, implying he ''physically'' became a royal Changeling in the process.]]
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Just like Gilda (and Gabby after him), he's now trying to introduce the concept of friendship to his whole race, which is even harder in this case.
* MookFaceTurn: In his backstory. According to Thorax, he was part of the attack on Canterlot by Chrysalis and her army, but upon seeing the friendship of the Mane Six and desiring it for himself, he decided to change.
* MyInstinctsAreShowing: When Spike asks Thorax if anypony had showed him kindness before, the latter responds with a ravenous hiss, saying that "kindness like that sort of brings it out". This comes back to bite him hard when he can't control himself around Flurry Heart. The fact that he's been starving for a long time doesn't help.
* NoInfantileAmnesia: Thorax can remember the day he was hatched with great clarity.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Aside from his uniquely colored carapace, Thorax stands out from other changelings due to having rounder eyes, and differently-shaped ears. [[spoiler:His transformed state is close to Celestia's height and has stag beetle-like horns in addition to his normal one, setting him further apart from other changelings.]]
* RedemptionPromotion: His MookFaceTurn and becoming friends with ponies [[spoiler:triggers a metamorphosis that ultimately causes him to evolve into a Changeling King.]]
* StrangerInAFamiliarLand: In "To Where And Back Again", Thorax was terrified of returning to the Changeling Kingdom, stating he hoped to never see that place again.
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: Thorax tries to do this after Spike betrays him, calling himself an "evil changeling". However, it doesn't last long and he once again saves Spike from falling off a cliff.
* TokenHeroicOrc: Thorax is, as implied by both previous appearances of changelings and his own flashbacks, a very rare genuinely friendly member of the changeling species [[spoiler:until their species-wide HeelFaceTurn, at any rate]].
* TookALevelInBadass: He ends up going all the way from the BlackSheep of his entire kind in "The Times They Are A Changeling" to [[spoiler:their new leader]] in "To Where and Back Again" -- complete with an [[spoiler:EvolutionPowerUp]] on top of it. [[spoiler:When the assembled ponies stand up to Chrysalis, Thorax is shown gathering magic in his new stag-beetle horns, showing he's very willing to fight if she makes a move.]]
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Thorax, as a changeling, is capable of this, even disguising himself as a rock at one point.

[[caption-width-right:300:From left: Sugar Belle, Party Favor, Night Glider, and Double Diamond (after their restoration)]]
->'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E1TheCutieMapPart1 The Cutie Map – Part 1]]"
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/BrianDrummond (Double Diamond), Creator/SamuelVincent (Party Favor), Creator/RebeccaShoichet (Sugar Belle and Night Glider)
A whole town full of ponies. They were once ordinary, but Starlight Glimmer made them give up their cutie marks -- essentially their unique identities -- and convinced them to adopt a lifestyle of mediocrity and sameness.
* {{Adorkable}}: Just watch Sugar Belle as she tries to take the mane six's order in her first appearance without interrupting their argument. Or her along with Party Favor and Night Glider squeeing over the mane six's cutie marks once they're in private.
* AllThereInTheScript: Night Glider, the name of the dark blue Pegasus who tells the Mane Six about the Staff of Sameness, is only given in the show's credits.
* ChekhovsGunman: The four pictured to the side in particular; Double Diamond is at first NumberTwo to Starlight, while the other three are ordinary townsfolk, albeit ones who secretly want their marks again. All four of them play pivotal roles in getting the mane six's cutie marks back and getting rid of Starlight.
* TheDogBitesBack: Starlight had them brainwashed, stole their talents and cutie marks, preached about how they should all be equal, locked them in a room whenever they showed hints of wanting to have their marks back... and then found herself on the receiving end of some payback when their marks are returned, her plan is foiled, and she gets run out of town.
* TheEvilsOfFreeWill: Starlight has brainwashed them into believing this.
* {{Hammerspace}}: Where Party Favor gets his supply of balloons from.
* HeelFaceTurn: Double Diamond turns against Starlight along with the rest of the town when they discover she still hasn't removed her own cutie mark.
* IChooseToStay: After running Starlight out of town, they decide to stay since it's the only home they have now.
* LethalChef: Sugar Belle is this without her cutie mark, causing Pinkie Pie, a proud BigEater, to go green after eating her muffins. Once she recovers her original talent (baking delicious sweets), she becomes a SupremeChef at the town-wide celebration.
* MacGyvering: Party Favor's talent is the ability to make seemingly ''anything'' out of balloons, and have them function just like the real thing.
* MeaningfulName: All of them, as normal, though Double Diamond's may be a bit obscure: in skiing, a double diamond route is the most difficult type and is only recommended for experts. His "Feel like an air drop?" line refers to a maneuver that only skiers good enough to run a double diamond course can pull off.
* NumberTwo: Double Diamond to Starlight Glimmer. He's the first to greet the Mane Six, personally monitors them during their visit, and carries out her orders out of town.
* SecretPolice: Before his HeelFaceTurn, Double Diamond is a one-pony version of this as he watches the Mane Six behind his newpaper.
* StepfordSmiler: They wear big, creepy smiles when first introduced, tipping Pinkie off that something is seriously wrong with them.
* YesMan: All of them are forced to agree with Starlight on everything.

->'''Debut:''' [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E2ElementsOfHarmony "Friendship Is Magic, Part 2" ("Elements of Harmony")]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LeeTockar
A large purple scaled [[SeaMonster Sea Serpent]] with orange hair, encountered in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E2ElementsOfHarmony Elements of Harmony]]". His thrashing made a river uncrossable, blocking the ponies' progress. He's not a villain, though; he was simply distressed that a "tacky little cloud" had sliced off his perfect mustache. Not about to let such a crime against "fabulosity" go unanswered, Rarity came to his aid and the ponies were graciously allowed to cross. His [[LargeHam drama queen]] antics and [[AmbiguouslyGay metrosexual]] mindset gave him a notoriety among fans who dubbed him "Steven Magnet" after a [[SoBadItsGood hilariously bad]] Website/YouTube auto-caption, and this FanNickname has since become AscendedFanon due to the toyline making it his official AllThereInTheScript name. And finally, in the Season Five episode "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E9SliceOfLife Slice of Life]]", he introduces himself by that name when first meeting Matilda at the Ponyville Spa.
* AdvertisedExtra: Despite only appearing in two episodes so far (the second and the 100th), he's been in 3 different commercials (even saying his "It's so true!" line in the two American ones): the [[TheHub Hub]] commercial seen [[http://see.walmart.com/hasbro/girls-hub/Girls.swf here]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUrDxdlHANI this commercial]], and the British [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm8m-LOqplA Boomerang commercial]] announcing the show's UK premiere.

* AudibleSharpness: His scales do this if you pluck one off.
* {{Camp}}: He's ''absolutely fabulous.''
* CharacterDevelopment: When we first meet Steven he's crying a river because his mustache was chopped in half. Come Cranky's wedding, he willingly cuts his mustache for Cranky to use as a toupee.
* TheDandy: As much as possible for a naked scaled serpent and something only [[TheFashionista Rarity]] understands.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Averted when he only has half a mustache. Played straight after Rarity's assistance but in fairness to him, he technically has a whole mustache after her gift.
* FelonyMisdemeanor: Nopony but Rarity takes his dilemma seriously.
* GayBestFriend: Is pretty much this to Cranky. Though subverted in the fact that [[WordOfGod Lauren Faust said on Twitter]] that he's "as straight as they come".

* HeroOfAnotherStory: He and Cranky apparently had great adventures together.
* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: His "mous-STACHE"
* LargeHam: His crying is enough to turn the river into an impassable torrent.

* NonMammalianHair: He's a reptile; why does he have a mustache in the first place?
* OddFriendship: He's apparently friends with Cranky Doodle Donkey. Close enough to be his best man, erm, sea serpent at the later's wedding.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LeeTockar
A large purple scaled [[SeaMonster Sea Serpent]] with orange hair, encountered in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E2ElementsOfHarmony Elements of Harmony]]". His thrashing made a river uncrossable, blocking the ponies' progress. He's not a villain, though; he was simply distressed that a "tacky little cloud" had sliced off his perfect mustache. Not about to let such a crime against "fabulosity" go unanswered, Rarity came to his aid and the ponies were graciously allowed to cross. His [[LargeHam drama queen]] antics and [[AmbiguouslyGay metrosexual]] mindset gave him a notoriety among fans who dubbed him "Steven Magnet" after a [[SoBadItsGood hilariously bad]] Website/YouTube auto-caption, and this FanNickname has since become AscendedFanon due to the toyline making it his official AllThereInTheScript name. And finally, in the Season Five episode "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E9SliceOfLife Slice of Life]]", he introduces himself by that name when first meeting Matilda at the Ponyville Spa.
* AdvertisedExtra: Despite only appearing in two episodes so far (the second and the 100th), he's been in 3 different commercials (even saying his "It's so true!" line in the two American ones): the [[TheHub Hub]] commercial seen [[http://see.walmart.com/hasbro/girls-hub/Girls.swf here]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUrDxdlHANI this commercial]], and the British [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm8m-LOqplA Boomerang commercial]] announcing the show's UK premiere.

An enterprising Earth Pony who owns Cherry Hill Ranch, a cherry orchard and processing factory in the town of Dodge Junction. Evidently a fan of rodeos, as this is where she met Applejack.

Canterlot's defenders who serve under Shining Armor. These armored stallions show up wherever Canterlot needs extra security and also serve as the Princesses' personal bodyguards. Pegasus guards are usually seen escorting the princesses or as royal flying carriage pullers. Unicorn guards are generally seen around Canterlot and performing some ceremonial procedures.

* BladeOnAStick: The only weapon they've been seen wielding, so far.
* BodyguardingABadass: They are often seen serving as personal guards or armed escort for the Princesses, who are extremely powerful physically and magically and easily outclass them.
* BritishRoyalGuards: They act like this at times. In "A Bird in the Hoof" Rainbow Dash tries to get a couple of them to react, making small talk and funny faces. The guards don't respond to her at all, causing Rainbow to admit defeat (and boredom), noting that they're good - ''too'' good. They react instantly, however, when Fluttershy tries to get past them until Twilight Sparkle vouches for her. At the end of the episode, Rainbow Dash convinces Philomena to tickle the guards' noses, finally getting them to laugh.
* ColorCodedWizardry: Yellow-green, light blue, or bright yellow for "normal" unicorn guards, silver gray for the Canterlot Archives unicorn guards.
* CreatorCameo: The Pegasi in "A Bird in the Hoof" and one unicorn in "It's About Time" are voiced by director Jayson Thiessen.
* DarkIsNotEvil: In addition to the bat-winged pegasus guards, the nighttime Canterlot Library guards have darker armor than their gold-armored counterparts.
* EvilCounterpart:
** Luna's royal [[http://www.hasbro.com/common/assets/Flash/Creative/dad2af6e1c4311ddbd0b0800200c9a66/0f6b55af5056900b1013cd724a8d4018/assets/characters/MLP_CharH_Pegasus.swf guards]] and [[http://www.hasbro.com/common/assets/Flash/Creative/dad2af6e1c4311ddbd0b0800200c9a66/0f6b55af5056900b1013cd724a8d4018/assets/props/MLP_PropH_Carriage.swf carriage]]. Although they're just evil-''looking'' rather than genuinely evil.
** [[spoiler:The Changelings from "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E26ACanterlotWeddingPart2 A Canterlot Wedding]]" are genuinely evil counterparts. Some of them are shown wearing armor with the same color scheme as the Lunar Pegasus Guards.]]
* GoodWingsEvilWings: The [[http://www.hasbro.com/common/assets/Flash/Creative/dad2af6e1c4311ddbd0b0800200c9a66/0f6b55af5056900b1013cd724a8d4018/assets/characters/MLP_CharH_Pegasus.swf pegasi]] that brought Luna into Ponyville have bat wings instead of the usual bird wings.
* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: Whenever they are seen guarding something (be it [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E22ABirdInTheHoof pets]], [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E20ItsAboutTime archives]], the [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E26ACanterlotWeddingPart2 city of Canterlot]], the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks Crystal Empire palace]], ''the [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E1PrincessTwilightSparklePart1 Princesses]]'', an [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E16RarityInvestigates empty hallway]], etc.), one can count on them failing spectacularly at it.
* MildlyMilitary: They can't fight their way out of a soggy paper bag and nicking off for a snack in the middle of guard duty is A-O-K.
* MilitariesAreUseless: Along with the examples under both TheGuardsMustBeCrazy and RedshirtArmy, it's shown in the Season 4 opener that they're completely helpless order-wise without a Princess to point out their tasks. ''They don't even have their own command''.
* PraetorianGuard: They serve as the Princesses' personal bodyguards.
* TheQuietOne: They only talk when necessary, which is rare in the show.
* RedShirtArmy:
** They try to subdue Nightmare Moon in the pilot, but are subdued themselves.
** Again in "The Canterlot Wedding" [[spoiler:where they are quickly slimed into submission by the Changeling Army.]]
** And ''again'', in the Season 4 finale, where [[spoiler:Discord]] even finds the time to tease them beforehand.
* SeriousBusiness: You will almost always see them wearing a serious face whenever they appear. Ceremonial duty is very important you know. Averted by one of the guards in the Canterlot library who catches Twilight sneaking around in "It's About Time"; he cheerfully greets her and opens a door for her before going on his way.
* WingedUnicorn: One of Twilight Sparkle's {{flashback}}s during "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E25ACanterlotWeddingPart1 A Canterlot Wedding – Part 1]]" shows three guards (two light, one dark) with unicorn horns and Pegasus wings; WordOfGod [[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=86386&view=findpost&p=2053490 says]] [[http://comments.deviantart.com/4/1453017/2515683692 that]] this was a {{Blooper}}.
* YouALLLookFamiliar: There are different kinds and colors of them, but the differences between most of them stop there. The unicorn guards have two different uniforms.

The Pony of Pop, Sapphire Shores appeared at Carousel Boutique one day, having read about Rarity's fashion designs. She was so impressed with a GemEncrusted outfit on display that she bought it on the spot and ordered five others similar to it. She has since kept Rarity on retainer as her "favorite designer".
* AlliterativeName: '''S'''apphire '''S'''hores.
* AllThereInTheManual: [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yu4O2XtIh5M/T16NVeOK3xI/AAAAAAAAibg/T6PL_UXq62I/s1600/8.jpg Her molded toy and collector card]] reveal her cutie mark and (in the card's case) the facts that she "loves to collect pretty seashells" and "[[HilariousInHindsight is quietly kind]]."
* ChewingTheScenery: She's been known to overact at times, primarily when she gets excited.
* ControlFreak: She's fair, but she works her crew hard to get the performance just right.
* DolphinsDolphinsEverywhere: Her spirit animal.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: She has that effect on ponies.
* {{Expy}}: Averted; a G3 Sapphire Shores exists only in the toyline, but this one looks nothing like her. (Mind you, her unique design means she [[YouDontLookLikeYou looks nothing like]] her ''own'' toy, either.
* InformedAttribute: Despite being known as the Pony of Pop, she doesn't sing so much as a note during either of her appearances.
* NiceGuy: She's very exuberant and a little self-absorbed, but she does seem to be genuinely friendly.
* ThePerfectionist: Wants everything just right for her performance.
* SassyBlackWoman: She seems to be the pony equivalent.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yu4O2XtIh5M/T16NVeOK3xI/AAAAAAAAibg/T6PL_UXq62I/s1600/8.jpg Her molded toy and collector card]] (from the [[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/03/tons-of-new-blindbags-actual-lyra.html fifth wave of the Blind Bags]]) both depict her as a differently-colored {{unicorn}} PaletteSwap of Twilight Sparkle.

An important and influential business unicorn in Canterlot. He befriends Rarity in the episode "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E9SweetAndElite Sweet and Elite]]" and introduces her to high society life. He makes a small cameo in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E26ACanterlotWeddingPart2 A Canterlot Wedding – Part 2]]", with Rarity, and later appears in Ponyville in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E3TooManyPinkiePies Too Many Pinkie Pies]]". His next major speaking role is in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E10PrincessSpike Princess Spike]]", where he's head of the Canterlot delegation for the Grand Equestrian Pony Summit.
* BlueBlood: Rarity refers to him as the top of Canterlot's elite.
* BowtiesAreCool: He wears a rather snazzy one at the party at the end of the episode.
* TheCameo:
** He makes an inexplicable visit to Ponyville in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E3TooManyPinkiePies Too Many Pinkie Pies]]".
** He appears again alongside Fleur during the musical number in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E8RarityTakesManehattan Rarity Takes Manehattan]]".
* DashinglyDapperDerby: He wears one of these in "Too Many Pinkie Pies".
* HighClassGlass: It makes him look all the more refined; he adjusts it with his unicorn magic.
* MeaningfulName: "Fancy pants" is a common term to describe members of the upper class.
* NiceGuy: Unlike most high-society ponies, he was quite nice to Rarity the whole time and even complimented the simple dress she made for Twilight. That being said, like any other pony/person, [[BewareTheNiceOnes even he has limits]], like when Spike accidentally causes trouble in "Princess Spike".
* NonIndicativeName: He doesn't even wear pants let alone a fancy pair...
* OnlySaneMan: Gives off this vibe during "Princess Spike" once he learns that "Princess Twilight" had stopped a bunch of public works he had ordered specifically to avoid having a disaster during the Canterlot summit, the same disaster that caused him to get beaten back by a tidal wave that had accumulated in the meeting hall.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: According to Rarity, he has a hedgemony on Canterlot's upper class and most (if not all) of its members look to him for cues. He is the first to acknowledge Rarity's sophistication and this catapults her into the upper class spotlight.
* SharpDressedMan: He always wears a classy suit.
* UnclePennybags: He finds the Mane Six not named Rarity "charmingly rustic", and he's pretty humble otherwise.
* VisualPun: His cutie mark is three crowns, referencing Triple Crown horse racing among other classy things.

->'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E14CanterlotBoutique Canterlot Boutique]]"
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KellySheridan
A unicorn Rarity hired as manager of her new Canterlot Carousel shop to help everything get ready for its grand opening. She has a multi-point plan to bring the boutique much business and success. Unfortunately, it comes at a price.
* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: Both her name and her [[UnusualEuphemism exclamations]].
* AlliterativeName: ''S''assy ''S''addles.
* ControlFreak: She spends a good part of the episode taking orders, changing dress names, and managing Rarity’s boutique without actually consulting Rarity.
* HeelRealization: Near the end of "Canterlot Boutique," she realizes that her business structure was wrong because it did not bring everypony happiness. She apologizes to Rarity for all the problems she's caused and Rarity, being the Element of Generosity, forgives her and gives her another chance as branch manager of Canterlot Carousel. In "Rarity Investigates!", she and Rarity are getting along much better.
* HiddenDepths: When Rarity announces she's going to shut down Canterlot Carousel, Sassy laments that she can't be part of "another" failed boutique, implying she's seen this happen many times before. This would explain why she's so desperate for success and so risk-averse.
* HypercompetentSidekick: Played with. She does inadvertently push around her employer, but her experience does serve the boutique (mostly) well. And she proves to have input that Rarity can't ignore and displays a showmanship that Rarity is glad to play off at a fashion exhibition.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Slightly, but when she takes in another 100 orders for the princess dress and suggests mass producing it, she let's slip it'll be the success of ''Sassy Saddles'' Boutique. To which at that point, Rarity brings her back to reality, correcting Sassy that it's ''her'' shop.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite overstepping her bounds with her employer in her enthusiasm for the boutique's prosperity, it's clear from the get-go she does want was best for the store and believes that her methods does benefit Rarity. When she's proven wrong, she's humbled and willing to learn from her mistakes.
* NoodleIncident: When Rarity announces she’s closing down shop, she panics over being part of ''another'' failed boutique.
* ObliviouslyEvil: While evil might be stretching it -- "Obliviously Selfish" might work better -- she doesn't seem to realize just how selfish she is and how damaging she can be.
* SeverelySpecializedStore: Turns Canterlot Carousel into this as she has Rarity, a celebrated dressmaker, make copies of the same dress two hundred times and relentlessly markets it while ignoring other designs or variations.
* ShoutOut: Her exclamations are specialized versions of [[Literature/PrinceCaspian Trumpkin's]].
* UnusualEuphemism: She seems to like two-word, alliterative ones related to fashion terms.
* VillainyFreeVillain: Sassy isn't exactly a malicious enemy or a serious villain. She is just a hard-to-work-with employee who gets into conflict with Rarity over creative differences on running the boutique.

[[quoteright:191:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sunburst.png]]
->'''First Appeance:''' "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E26TheCutieRemarkPart2 The Cutie Remark – Part 2]]"\\
'''Full Debut:''' "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E1TheCrystallingPart1 The Crystalling – Part 1]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E2TheCrystallingPart2 & 2]]"
->'''Voiced by:''' Ian Hanlin
Starlight Glimmer's childhood friend, who left to study magic in Canterlot when they were foals. In the present day, he lives in the Crystal Empire.
* AdjustingYourGlasses: Sunburst pushes his glasses up quite often, as they keep slipping. Unlike Moondancer, though, he usually does it with his hoof rather than with magic.
* {{Adorkable}}: He is nerdy, kind of shy, has a low opinion on himself, is pretty friendly, loves to study magic and is obviously quite adorable.
* BadassBookworm: Downplayed; despite his thorough knowledge of magic on paper, he is a poor spellcaster. However, his EncyclopaedicKnowledge still winds up saving the day.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Starlight.
* CynicismCatalyst: He's the very reason that Starlight resented Cutie Marks.
* EncyclopaedicKnowledge: Though Sunburst's own magic isn't any greater than the average unicorn's, his ''knowledge'' of magic is superior to that of any of the Princesses. He even recognized at a glance Twilight's reconstruction of the Spell of Relic Reconstitution. More than this though, his talent seems to be applying this knowledge in abstract or theoretical ways (compared to Twilight who is very straightforward when it comes to the use of magic she learns). That is he is able to use his knowledge of how magic works on ancient and powerful objects to realize that no one spell can fix the Crystal Heart, and that various spells must be combined in a certain way.
* {{Hermit}}: It doesn't seem like he gets out much, and he didn't even notice the storm outside his window.
* IneptMage: Downplayed: he certainly felt like one in magic school, but he is still able to use regular unicorn powers at least. Nevertheless, despite his thorough knowledge of magic '''theory''' he is not a powerful spellcaster by any means.
* {{Irony}}: Sunburst was shipped off to Canterlot due to his apparent great magical talent, which caused Starlight's descent into villainy until she was talked out of it by Twilight. When Starlight finally meets up with him again, it turns out his talent is average despite earning a cutie mark from it (albeit this is a misunderstanding, as his real talent is learning about magic rather than actually performing magic spells), further proving her old philosophy wrong (and meaning his cutie mark caused him a fair amount of strife as well).
* MessyHair: Like Moondancer, he seems to have put aside grooming in favor of studying.
* NiceGuy: He's a pretty sweet guy.
* OldShame: [[invoked]] Sunburst couldn't confront Starlight after so long because he didn't want her to know that he really ''wasn't'' all that powerful as she thought he was -- turns out his little show when he gained his Mark was a total fluke.
* PlatonicLifePartners: With Starlight, though that doesn't mean ShipTease doesn't occur.
* RedIsHeroic: Has red hair and helps save the Crystal Empire.
* ShoutOut: He has some similarities to [[Literature/{{Discworld}} Rincewind]], being a red-haired magic user with a scruffy beard who knows how magic works, but not how to use it, had a hard time at magic school, and even though he considers himself a failure, still wears the traditional wizard garb.
* TheSmartGuy: Becomes this to the Crystal Empire.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: He is very smart and knowledgeable about magic and wears glasses. However, spellcasting is not his forte.
* SpearCounterpart: To Moondancer, as they're both unicorns who have dedicated their lives to magical studies, living in relative isolation despite residing in a big city each, and having a very low opinion of themselves; also, a lot of their current issues come from an old, close friendship falling apart, and, in the end, they get much better once rekindling with their respective old friend.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Had he not left Starlight after getting his Cutie Mark, let's just say Equestria wouldn't have gone through seven different apocalypses.
* WalkingSpoiler: To know of his existence is to know of Starlight's FreudianExcuse, hence the unmarked spoilers.
* WeakButSkilled: As an adult, his magical ability is a lot more limited, but he has a lot of magical knowledge through years of research.
* WizardBeard: Downplayed and then subverted; he has a longish goatee, but it turns out he's not a wizard.

[[folder:Thorax]]

->'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E17TheTimesTheyAreAChangeling The Times They Are a Changeling]]"
->'''Voiced by:''' Kyle Rideout
A changeling who defected from Queen Chrysalis. Hiding out in the Crystal Empire, all Thorax really wants in life is to make friends.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Thorax considers himself "different" from other changelings, even from when he was first hatched. The attack on Canterlot led him to realise he wanted real friends, not just to feed on love.
* ApologeticAttacker: Being around love and kindness [[MyInstinctsAreShowing causes him to hiss and growl at anyone around him,]] and whenever that happens he immediately begins apologizing.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Thorax has a teal green dorsal carapace to differentiate him from the usual navy blue changelings. Also his magic aura is blue, unlike the usual SicklyGreenGlow of the changelings.
* DefectorFromDecadence: Thorax was a member of Chrysalis's army during her attack on Canterlot, but upon seeing the Mane Six's friendship and desiring it for himself he defected.
* GlamourFailure: Thorax struggles and fails to hold his disguised form of "Crystal Hoof" when so close to the love given off from Flurry Heart and the other ponies.
* GoodCostumeSwitch: Although not a costume, strictly speaking, in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E25ToWhereAndBackAgainPart1 To Where And Back Again]]" Thorax has new wings that shine like crystal, something that both Starlight and Thorax himself notice.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Just like Gilda (and Gabby after him), he's now trying to introduce the concept of friendship to his whole race, which is even harder in this case.
* MookFaceTurn: In his backstory. According to Thorax, he was part of the attack on Canterlot by Chrysalis and her army, but upon seeing the friendship of the Mane Six and desiring it for himself, he decided to change.
* MyInstinctsAreShowing: When Spike asks Thorax if anypony had showed him kindness before, the latter responds with a ravenous hiss, saying that "kindness like that sort of brings it out". This comes back to bite him hard when he can't control himself around Flurry Heart. The fact that he's been starving for a long time doesn't help.
* NoInfantileAmnesia: Thorax can remember the day he was hatched with great clarity.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Aside from his uniquely colored carapace, Thorax stands out from other changelings due to having rounder eyes, and differently-shaped ears.
%%* StrangerInAFamiliarLand: In "To Where And Back Again", Thorax seemed terrified of return to the Changeling Kingdom, stating he hoped to never see that place again. (leaving hidden until there's more information when Part 2 airs)
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: Thorax tries to do this after Spike betrays him, calling himself an "evil changeling". However, it doesn't last long and he once again saves Spike from falling off a cliff.
* TokenHeroicOrc: Thorax is, as implied by both previous appearances of changelings and his own flashbacks, a very rare genuinely friendly member of the changeling species.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Thorax, as a changeling, is capable of this, even disguising himself as a rock at one point.

->'''Debut:''' [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E2ElementsOfHarmony "Friendship Is Magic, Part 2" ("Elements of Harmony")]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LeeTockar
A large purple scaled [[SeaMonster Sea Serpent]] with orange hair, encountered in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E2ElementsOfHarmony Elements of Harmony]]". His thrashing made a river uncrossable, blocking the ponies' progress. He's not a villain, though; he was simply distressed that a "tacky little cloud" had sliced off his perfect mustache. Not about to let such a crime against "fabulosity" go unanswered, Rarity came to his aid and the ponies were graciously allowed to cross. His [[LargeHam drama queen]] antics and [[AmbiguouslyGay metrosexual]] mindset gave him a notoriety among fans who dubbed him "Steven Magnet" after a [[SoBadItsGood hilariously bad]] Website/YouTube auto-caption, and this FanNickname has since become AscendedFanon due to the toyline making it his official AllThereInTheScript name. And finally, in the Season Five episode "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E9SliceOfLife Slice of Life]]", he introduces himself by that name when first meeting Matilda at the Ponyville Spa.
* AdvertisedExtra: Despite only appearing in two episodes so far (the second and the 100th), he's been in 3 different commercials (even saying his "It's so true!" line in the two American ones): the [[TheHub Hub]] commercial seen [[http://see.walmart.com/hasbro/girls-hub/Girls.swf here]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUrDxdlHANI this commercial]], and the British [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm8m-LOqplA Boomerang commercial]] announcing the show's UK premiere.
* AllThereInTheManual: [[http://theponyartcollection.tumblr.com/post/26391734445 His trading card]], the show's script, and [[https://twitter.com/M_A_Larson/status/210414549281685507 a tweet by one of the show's writers]] all call him a ''sea'' serpent/monster, even though he's only shown in the river, though [[https://twitter.com/M_A_Larson/status/216035777526767616 a later tweet by the same writer]] calls him a river serpent. His trading card also mentions that he has a magnetic personality (referencing his name, which wasn't yet AscendedFanon when the card was made).
* AllThereInTheScript: The [[http://cdn.toyark.com/news/attach/1/9/9/9/My-Little-Pony-Toy-Fair-2013-037_1360451576.jpg Elements of Harmony Friends]] character collection set names him [[AscendedFanon Steven Magnet]].
* AscendedExtra: He gets a molded toy in an [[http://stitchkingdom.tumblr.com/post/42688291715/upcoming-mlpfim-mini-packs-tf13-tfny molded toy]] from an [[http://cdn.toyark.com/news/attach/1/9/9/9/My-Little-Pony-Toy-Fair-2013-037_1360451576.jpg Elements of Harmony Friends]] character collection set.
* AscendedFanon:[[invoked]] His voice actor adopted his fan name as his actual name, saying it just fit.
* AudibleSharpness: His scales do this if you pluck one off.
* {{Camp}}: He's ''absolutely fabulous.''
* CharacterDevelopment: When we first meet Steven he's crying a river because his mustache was chopped in half. Come Cranky's wedding, he willingly cuts his mustache for Cranky to use as a toupee.
* TheDandy: As much as possible for a naked scaled serpent and something only [[TheFashionista Rarity]] understands.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Averted when he only has half a mustache. Played straight after Rarity's assistance but in fairness to him, he technically has a whole mustache after her gift.
* FelonyMisdemeanor: Nopony but Rarity takes his dilemma seriously.
* GayBestFriend: Is pretty much this to Cranky. Though subverted in the fact that [[WordOfGod Lauren Faust said on Twitter]] that he's "as straight as they come".
* GentleGiant: He's massive in size compared to a pony (or donkey), but he surely is friendly.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: He and Cranky apparently had great adventures together.
* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: His "mous-STACHE"
* LargeHam: His crying is enough to turn the river into an impassable torrent.
* NoNameGiven: At least in his original episode. (Though one could make an argument this is untrue, given his name comes from Youtube's auto subtitles.)
* NonMammalianHair: He's a reptile; why does he have a mustache in the first place?
* OddFriendship: He's apparently friends with Cranky Doodle Donkey. Close enough to be his best man, erm, sea serpent at the later's wedding.
* RentAZilla: It's a wonder how he fits into that river.
* SeaMonster: He's a classic sea serpent but in a river instead.
* YourSizeMayVary: His [[http://stitchkingdom.tumblr.com/post/42688291715/upcoming-mlpfim-mini-packs-tf13-tfny molded toy]] from the [[http://cdn.toyark.com/news/attach/1/9/9/9/My-Little-Pony-Toy-Fair-2013-037_1360451576.jpg Elements of Harmony Friends]] character collection set is on a much smaller scale than the ponies' equivalent molded toys.

[[folder:The Wonderbolts]]
[[quoteright:136:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Wonderbolt_Poster_by_Stinkehund_8667.png]]
->'''First Mention:''' [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E1MareInTheMoon "Friendship is Magic - Part 1" ("Mare in the Moon")]]\\
'''Full Debut:''' "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E3TheTicketMaster The Ticket Master]]"
The most talented flyers in all of Equestria and Rainbow Dash's idols. The Wonderbolts perform at the Grand Galloping Gala every year and also served as celebrity judges for the Best Young Flyer Competition in Cloudsdale. The organization itself was founded one year after Princess Luna's banishment to the moon. As a result, they have quite a long and storied history.
[[AllThereInTheManual According to the official guidebook]] the team has at least twelve members: Blaze, Fire Streak, Fleetfoot, High Winds, Lightning Streak, Misty Fly, Rapidfire, Silver Lining, Soarin, Spitfire, Surprise and Wave Chill. Only eleven have thus far been seen, though.
!!Tropes which apply to the entire group
* AdaptationNameChange: One of Creator/TheHub's alternate stories of how Rainbow Dash got her cutie mark refers to them as the Blue Thunders.
* BadassAdorable: They're the equivalent of a military group in Equestria who also operate as stunt fliers and a rescue team... and are still adorable ponies underneath those flight suits.
* BadassInDistress:
** Very briefly in "Sonic Rainboom" when Rarity punches them during their attempt to save her from falling to death.
** Again in "Secret to My Excess", though the situation is somewhat less dire.
* BigDamnHeroes: In addition to being performers, they're Equestria's rescue team as seen in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E16SonicRainboom Sonic Rainboom]]" and "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E10SecretOfMyExcess Secret of My Excess]]". Too bad they fail in both situations. They finally get a successful chance in "Party Pooped".
* CoolShades: Their uniforms at the Wonderbolt Academy come with these.
* EmbarrassingNickname: Many of the Wonderbolts have these, often earned for some screwup on their first day as Wonderbolts. Soarin' is "Clipper". Fleetfoot is "Flatfoot". Misty Fly is "Daisy". Surprise is "Slowpoke". High Winds is "Hoof-in-Mouth". Spitfire's nickname is so embarrassing she [[TheUnreveal refuses to say it out loud]].
* TheFaceless: Prior to Season 6, most of the team is always seen in their uniforms which cover their faces and their eyes are always covered by their goggles, leaving only their muzzles visible. Only Spitfire, Soarin, and Fleetfoot were seen out of uniform at that point, but the rest of the team has briefly been seen out of uniform now as well.
* GlassCannon: They are incredibly fast and agile, and at full speed their wings can cut through dragon scales like knife through butter, but a single hit from Rarity was enough to send three of them plummeting to their (almost) death. Makes sense since [[FridgeBrilliance horses kick a lot harder than humans can]] and [[GirlyBruiser Rarity]] [[IKnowKarate Knows Kung Fu]].
* LatexSpaceSuit: What their blue uniforms appear to be.
* MulticoloredHair: Three of them have this.
* MildlyMilitary: More like ambiguously military -- it's somewhat implied they're part of Equestria's military force, but never how. The group is clearly inspired by the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Angels Blue Angels]] and the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Air_Force_Thunderbirds Thunderbirds]], and one needs to undergoing extensive training to join them. "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E22TestingTesting123 Testing Testing 1, 2, 3]]" reveals that the Wonderbolts were originally formed from members of the E.U.P. Guard, an organization formed after Luna's banishment to protect Celestia, and their past leaders bore military ranks. However, Spitfire doesn't seem to hold such a rank in the present, and they were originally a performance group, rather than a force intended for combat. Whether they've stayed even loosely affiliated in the thousand years since then is unknown. That episode also revealed that entering the Wonderbolts Reserves does '''not''' require entering the E.U.P., Equestria's military. A civilian organization that has some military personnel and ties, like UsefulNotes/{{NASA}}, seems to be the closest real world situation.
* NiceGuy: They are superfamous celebrities, but they keep a humble attitude and are openly friendly towards their fans; in fact, they were the '''only''' nice ponies around during the Grand Galloping Gala. Besides Rarity, they were the only guests who didn't think themselves were too good for Applejack's apple treats.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: The Wonderbolts are [[https://twitter.com/goldenrusset/status/147573636369354752 likely]] based on the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Angels US Navy Blue Angels]], resembling them in colour scheme, profession and flying style, while their name recalls the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Air_Force_Thunderbirds Thunderbirds]].
* NoNameGiven: All of them except Soarin, Spitfire, Fleetfoot, Rapidfire, [[AllThereInTheScript Misty Fly]], Blaze and [[AllThereInTheScript Surprise]].
* OCStandIn: It's starting to become a trend on Website/{{Tumblr}} to start blogs for the [[NoNameGiven unnamed]] Wonderbolts. They're on the same level as most background ponies, perhaps even lower since they show up less than, say, Derpy or Lyra. Even their cutie marks are a mystery, but they still receive {{Fanon}}.
* OpaqueLenses: Their goggles.
* RazorWings: Probably a by-product of natural Pegasi abilities; sharp enough to shave a dragon if they feel like it.
* RunningGag: In most episodes where the Wonderbolts have an important role, there had been somepony falling and needing to be saved; in all these cases, Rainbow Dash had been the rescuer, or part of the rescuers if this is done by more than one pegasus.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Whether their name is two words or one. "Wonderbolts" is used in the title of the episode "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E7WonderboltsAcademy Wonderbolts Academy]]", on Spitfire, Misty Fly & Soarin's [[http://i48.tinypic.com/285h1k.png collector cards]] (as a trademark), in Enterplay's trading cards (in [[http://chimicherrychanga.com/img/tc/22a.jpg the front of the Spitfire and Soarin card]]'s case, as a trademark), in Ruckus Media Group's [[IOSGames iOS app]] ''[[http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-little-pony-twilight-sparkle/id465213808?mt=8 Twilight Sparkle: Teacher for a Day]]'', in Creator/{{Gameloft}}'s ''VideoGame/MyLittlePony'' game, on Hasbro's ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' Website/{{Facebook}} and {{Twitter}} pages and in a [[http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/File:%22The_Wonderbolts%22_name_dispute_email_screenshot.png response]] by the company's customer service, on Creator/TheHub's {{Facebook}} [[http://www.facebook.com/hubtvnetwork page]], in Mighty Fine's merchandise and listings of & advertising for said merchandise, in a [[https://twitter.com/Fyre_flye/status/241037025476747265 tweet]] by show creator Creator/LaurenFaust, [[https://twitter.com/KeatingRogers/status/233652109290131457 as]] [[https://twitter.com/KeatingRogers/status/254016274819055616 well]] [[https://twitter.com/KeatingRogers/status/254065810614652928 as]] [[https://twitter.com/KeatingRogers/status/254274233197264896 in]] [[https://twitter.com/KeatingRogers/status/260835935405604864 six]] [[https://twitter.com/KeatingRogers/status/261483846204272641 tweets]] by writer Amy Keating Rogers, while "Wonder Bolts" is used on the Miniature Collection toy sets' boxes (as a trademark), in the British [[TieInNovel magazine story]] "The Ticket Master" (a {{Novelization}} of [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E3TheTicketMaster the episode of the same name]]), [[http://www.facebook.com/mylittlepony/posts/348953445122099 by]] Hasbro's ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' Website/{{Facebook}} [[http://www.facebook.com/mylittlepony page]], as well as [[https://twitter.com/M_A_Larson/status/227059090948493312 by]] writer M.A. Larson "[=WonderBolts=]" has been used in a [[https://twitter.com/MMeghanMcCarthy/status/254072938737856513 tweet]] by writer Meghan [=McCarthy=].
* SpellMyNameWithAThe: Possibly.
* VagueAge: Their goggles hide whether or not they have bags under their eyes.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse:
** Six Wonderbolts performed an acrobatic stunt before the start of the Best Young Flyer Competition. Three of them sat in the stands and were the only ones who tried to rescue Rarity later in the episode. The other three flew off the top of the screen and weren't seen again.
** Again in the Season 1 finale "Best Night Ever", we don't see what happens to Spitfire and Soarin after Rainbow Dash catches the statue. There's also all the other Wonderbolts who Rainbow Dash might've had better luck hanging out with, though her focusing on Spitfire and Soarin makes sense in hindsight now that we know Spitfire is the captain and Soarin may be second in command.
* TheWorfEffect: For such an elite group, they have an abysmal track record of doing anything useful in dangerous situations.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Soarin and a few others. Additionally a poster seen in "Friendship is Magic - Part 1" shows a stylized depiction of three blue-haired Wonderbolts.

A yellow {{Pegasus}} mare with a fiery looking mane, Spitfire has a laid back and easy going personality in contrast to her appearance. "Hurricane Fluttershy" revealed that she is the leader of the Wonderbolts (as many fans had assumed beforehand). She's getting a partly-translucent [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5gHDdPXnuFI/UCGjj6-abiI/AAAAAAAAzJg/vzpCI0FQNj4/s1600/3.jpg toy]] in Blind Bag Wave 7.
* ADayInTheLimelight: The ''Friends Forever'' comic series not only makes her the protagonist of issue 11, but expands her personality and backstory considerably.
* BeneathTheMask: ''Friends Forever 11'' shows what Spitfire's like when she's not busy leading the Wonderbolts, and she has some considerable HiddenDepths.
* BrokenAce: Revealed in ''Friends Forever 11''. Spitfire's only method for leading is to shout and criticize her recruits, and when she can't do that (like say, because it's a pack of kids), she has no idea how to command and completely loses her nerve. Rainbow lampshades "everypony's got a few flaws" when Spitfire expresses her regret at having this problem. She also reveals she initially didn't ''want'' to leader the Wonderbolts, because leadership sounded boring -- she just found out she was good at it via her DrillSergeantNasty routine, and she sticks to that because it's all she knows.
* BrokenPedestal: Briefly becomes one for Rainbow Dash in "Wonderbolts Academy" when she seemingly rewards Lightning Dust for her recklessness by naming her TheLeader. [[RebuiltPedestal It doesn't last long]], as Spitfire chases after her to give the response that Rainbow Dash didn't stick around for.
* TheCameo: At the end of "Twilight's Kingdom Part 2", along with the rest of the ponies who gave the Mane Six their keys.
* TheCaptain: Of the Wonderbolts, as revealed in "Hurricane Fluttershy".
* ChildHater: Played with. She doesn't hate kids, but she can't deal with them because she can't be her usual DrillSergeantNasty self to children. ''Friends Forever 11'' focuses on her and Rainbow teaching a bunch of young pegasi, and Spitfire completely freezes up and has no idea what to do. She eventually ''does'' try that routine with them because it's all she knows, and she makes them burst into tears.
%%* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
* DesignStudentsOrgasm: Her cutie mark is [[http://derpiboo.ru/183403 unusually complex]] compared to those of other characters.
* DrillSergeantNasty: At the Wonderbolt Academy, where she likes to intimidate new recruits. ''Friends Forever 11'' has her tell Rainbow that she acts this way because she knows they can take it, and they know she's only doing it because she wants to make them the best fliers they can be.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Spitfire's known to be a hard-nosed DrillSergeantNasty on the job, but when she's deceived into believing that her mother is ill with pegasitis in "Rarity Investigates!", she doesn't hesitate to travel in search of a medicinal mountain iris in spite of the plant's extreme scarcity during springtime.
* FieryRedhead: Generally {{averted|Trope}}, [[DrillSergeantNasty except when training cadets]].
* FlamingHair: Spitfire's mane and tail resemble blazing flames.
* JerkassFacade: Revealed in ''Friends Forever 11''. She's actually a perfectly nice and pleasant pony in private, but when she's commanding, the only way she knows to motivate and lead the Wonderbolts is to be a DrillSergeantNasty.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She is generally a nice pony (at least when she's not training potential recruits) but her view of how one should be the best causes her to act questionably at times, such as initially rewarding the sociopathic Lightning Dust for her performances despite her treating her fellow cadets like fodder to do so, and outright lying about Soarin's condition to try to get Rainbow Dash to join her team. She is, however, also willing to listen to reason, and if somepony (mainly Rainbow Dash) points out that she's crossing the line, then she's quick to see the error of her ways.
* MeaningfulName: She is named after the UsefulNotes/WW2-era [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermarine_Spitfire Supermarine Spitfire]] Fighter Plane (perhaps the most iconic plane of the whole war).
* NotSoDifferent: To Rainbow Dash, as it turns out. She's a good pony but can occasionally hold the JerkassBall firmly with both forehooves; comparable to the RD of the first season, who would resort to cheating to win a race or [[NoSympathy harshly chew her friends out for their phobias]]. The present-day Rainbow Dash, who's since [[TookALevelInKindness softened up]], is usually the one to call Spitfire out and get her to drop her less than savory characteristics.
* OnceASeason: She has a supporting role and speaking lines in at least one episode every season.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: ''Friends Forever 11'' has her trying to teach kids how to fly, but she's not used to taking care of kids. Seeing Spitfire of all ponies hiding behind Rainbow Dash and shrinking into corners unable to talk really hammers home how ''terrified'' she is of the situation.
* {{Pride}}: Her biggest vice.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: In "Wonderbolt Academy", Rainbow Dash can't argue with her logic in making Lightning Dust the leader and her the wingpony ("You'll be an unstoppable team"), but when Lightning Dust reveals her disregard for the safety of others, she demotes Dust and puts the more levelheaded Dash in her place.
* RedOniBlueOni: Despite her appearance, she's the levelheaded Blue to Soarin's compulsive Red. It's the other way around when she's paired with Rainbow Dash however.
* SameCharacterButDifferent: In her appearances during the first two seasons, she appears fairly laid-back and friendly, especially towards Rainbow Dash ([[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E16SonicRainboom who saved her life when they first met in person]]). In Season 3 she's a [[FieryRedhead tough-as-nails]] -- [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure though still reasonable]] -- [[DrillSergeantNasty drill instructor who throws insults at new Wonderbolt cadets, Dash being no exception]]. {{Justified|Trope}} since they ''are'' at a boot camp whereas she was more or less off duty in earlier appearances, so it could just be a front she puts up on the job, and Spitfire has no reason to go soft on her savior.
* [[ShesAManInJapan She's a Stallion in Poland]]: Possibly in the Polish dub. She has a male voice in both "Sonic Rainboom" and "The Best Night Ever", but it might just be an extreme case of CrossDressingVoices. In "Hurricane Fluttershy", she is voiced by a woman.
* VocalEvolution: After Kelly Metzger takes up the role, her voice goes from relatively mid-pitched in "The Best Night Ever" to higher pitched and raspy in "Wonderbolts Academy".
* YouDontLookLikeYou: [[http://theponyartcollection.tumblr.com/post/26391528291 Her and Soarin's trading card]] lists her cutie mark as the lightning bolt symbol shown on the female Wonderbolts' flight suits (like how Soarin's cutie mark is the winged lightning bolt symbol shown on the male Wonderbolts' flight suits), but "Wonderbolts Academy" reveals that it's a phoenix-like bunch of flames.

This lovable blue Pegasus stallion despite his goofy personality is one of the best fliers in Equestria. He ''really'' loves pies. He makes a small cameo in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E26ACanterlotWeddingPart2 A Canterlot Wedding – Part 2]]", dancing with Rainbow Dash and out of his flight suit to boot, instead wearing a uniform that implies he's second-in-command. He's getting a partly-translucent [[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XNB_kWOokEA/UCGjjpOnDLI/AAAAAAAAzJY/tk6KcWSgtyA/s1600/2.jpg toy]] in Blind Bag Wave 7.
* {{Adorkable}}: Seems to have this personality, especially in regards to pies.
* AllThereInTheManual: [[http://theponyartcollection.tumblr.com/post/26391528291 His and Spitfire's trading card]] confirms that pie is his TrademarkFavoriteFood.
* ArtEvolution: A minor bit, but his cutie mark was first shown to just be the same as what's on his Wonderbolts uniform. A later appearance in "Rainbow Falls" updated it to resemble a lightning bolt striking some clouds.
* BigEater: According to his teammate Spitfire, he always gets hungry after a performance. When he finds Applejack's food cart, he goes absolutely nuts for one of her apple pies. This has led to {{Shipping}} between the two.
* BigNo: "MYYYYYYYYYYY PIIIIIIEEEEEE!"
* CrazyConsumption: Soarin ''literally'' eats like a horse.
%%* GreenEyes
* DistractedByTheSexy: Gets into an accident in "Rainbow Falls" due to being distracted by cheerleaders.
* EmbarrassingNickname: "Clipper", from the time he clipped his wing on a flagpole on his first day as a Wonderbolt.
* {{Keet}}: He's extremely friendly and really likes pies.
* NiceGuy: Of the Wonderbolts who've been characterized in the series, he's consistently nice and friendly, and fair when he has to take charge. Meanwhile, Spitfire, while most times a friendly enough mare and a ReasonableAuthorityFigure, isn't above [[MsViceGirl letting the idea and drives of being the best overtake her]] until called on it. In contrast, Fleetfoot is just plain smug. His nice guy image is tarnished by giving into peer pressure when Rainbow Dash earned her unfortunate nickname "Rainbow Crash.
* NotSoDifferent: From Rainbow Dash. Both have adorkable sides, both are speedy athletes, and both have a tendency to give into peer pressure when it comes to their teammates and friends, both are loyal to their friends, and as of Newbie Dash, are both Wonderbolts. It's this reason that many fans of Rainbow Dash ship her with Soarin.
* NumberTwo: Soarin seems nice and silly in most of his appearance. However, it was shown in "Rarity Investigates!" that he's capable of taking command when needed and does a good job delegating duties and controlling the situation. He's hinted to be the second-in-command of the Wonderbolts, a position that they don't give to just anyone.
* TheOneGuy: Downplayed. While he isn't the only stallion on the team, he's been the only prominent one with a supporting role.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: When Spitfire is sent on a wild goose chase in "Rarity Investigates!", the normally laid-back Soarin makes it clear that he will have to ban Rainbow Dash from the Wonderbolts if she is found to be responsible, but at the same time is willing to give her the opportunity to prove herself innocent.
* RedOniBlueOni: Despite their mane colors, this is {{inverted|Trope}} as Soarin is the Red Oni to Spitfire's Blue Oni.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name was originally spelled "Soarin'" with an apostrophe, and this spelling has been used by Enterplay's trading card set and Mighty Fine's apparel, but Hasbro's Blind Bags and Creator/{{Gameloft}}'s ''VideoGame/MyLittlePony'' game have since spelled it "Soarin" without the apostrophe.
* SweetTooth: Soarin has a big one for Applejack's pie, considering how fast he eats it at the Grand Galloping Gala.
* [[TheFriendNobodyLikes The Teammate Nobody Likes]]: When he gets injured, his teammates not only don't visit him in the hospital, but try to replace him even after he gets better. Ouch.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Pie.
* {{Tuckerization}}: He was named after Amy Keating Rogers' son Soren. Rogers was the writer for "The Best Night Ever", which featured the Wonderbolts.
* VagueAge: the bags under his eyes make him look middle-aged, but his voice makes it sounds like he's in his early 20's. Given he looks about the same age as Rainbow Dash, he's probably a young adult like her.
* VocalDissonance: He sounds younger than the bags under his eyes imply he is.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: His toy uses the same mold as the female Wonderbolts' toys, only being indicated as male by sporting the male Wonderbolts' winged lightning bolt symbol rather than the female Wonderbolts' plain lightning bolt symbol.
!!Fleetfoot
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fleetfoot_1706.png]]
[[caption-width-right:200:Not everyone can fly with the winners.]]
->'''First Appearance:''' [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E26TheBestNightEver The Best Night Ever]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AndreaLibman
A blue pegasus with a mostly white mane with a streak of light blue in it, [[AllThereInTheManual green eyes, and a cutie mark of a winged horseshoe.]] She's apparently one of the smaller Wonderbolts, but makes up for it with great speed. She wins the derby in "Sweet and Elite". In the comics, she develops a crush on Big Macintosh after being hit by some fireworks and crashing into him at a festival.
* AllThereInTheManual: Creator/IDWPublishing's ''[[ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDW Friendship is Magic]]'' comic book issue #9 reveals her eye color and her cutie mark... which gets subsequently {{Jossed}} by the episode "Rainbow Falls". However, even after the show revealed what she looks the comics published after have retained her alternative green-eyed look.
* AscendedExtra: She is only briefly mentioned and could only be identified via a FreezeFrameBonus in "Sweet and Elite", but shows up in "Rainbow Falls" as a major character.
* EmbarrassingNickname: "Flatfoot". On her first day as a Wonderbolt she misjudged a landing and came down right on Spitfire's hoof.
* FreezeFrameBonus: How she's identified. In "Sweet and Elite" its announced she's the winner of the race, however it's hard to tell which Wonderbolt is Fleetfoot since they move so fast. Pausing at the right moment reveals she's the blue, white-maned Wonderbolt.
* LoveAtFirstSight: In the IDW comic, instantly falls for Big Mac when she first sees him, though the concussion she got may have helped.
* MsViceGirl: Like Spitfire, she has a real problem with her pride and ego, but not so much that she won't admit if she's screwed up by doing something questionable after being called out on it compared to the regular [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicJerksAndBullies jerks and bullies]] that show up in FIM.
* OCStandIn: Had a rather notable example in the Blog/AskAPony community with [[http://ask-echo-wonderbolt.tumblr.com/ Echo]], the [[HandicappedBadass blind Wonderbolt]]. The blog started a few days before "Sweet and Elite" aired. Echo's was popular in that community despite Fleetfoot being little more than a named background pony.
* OffModel: In a wide shot in "The Best Night Ever", she's missing her tail.
* SmugSuper: She's one of the fastest Wonderbolts and has no problem showing that off. In "Rainbow Falls", both she and Spitfire are adamant about winning the Equestria Games competition, seeing themselves as natural winners and anyone less skilled as a liability to be dropped as quickly as possible, though Fleetfoot is about five times as blunt about it. Even the comic, which instead plays her up as an {{Adorkable}} StalkerWithACrush, still has a bit of this; Fleetfoot has an ImagineSpot of marrying Big Macintosh and resigning from the Wonderbolts which leads them to disband, the imaginary newspaper headline saying, "There's no point without the best flyer ever!"
* SpeechImpediment: Talks with a slight lisp.
* StalkerWithACrush: #10 of the comic portrays her as this to Big Mac.
* YouDontLookLikeYou:
** She's playable in Creator/{{Gameloft}}'s ''VideoGame/MyLittlePony'' game, though her mane is solid light blue, has blue wings, and a white nose and ears. Preview demos had the white, blonde-maned Wonderbolt incorrectly labeled as Fleetfoot, so her model may have been changed late in development to closer match the show's Fleetfoot.
** The comic and cartoon adaptations notably differ in appearances. In the cartoon she has purple eyes and in the comic they're green. While her cutie mark consists of a horseshoe in both, the cartoon portrays it as a black one diving down and reaching a sonic boom the comic one instead shows it as a yellow one with wings. However, the comics have started portraying her with her TV show look.
!!Rapidfire
Another participant in the "Sweet & Elite" race, Fancy Pants believed he would win, but Fleetfoot beat him and the other Wonderbolts. Unlike Fleetfoot, which one he is isn't entirely clear other than "not Soarin". It [[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=83737&view=findpost&p=1960624 isn't specified]] which one he is but he's most likely the gray one with a white mane who appears at the start of, during and at the finish of the Derby; [[{{Blooper}} at least one other unnamed male Wonderbolt appears in some shots, but not all of them]].

* AllThereInTheScript: Enterplay's CollectibleCardGame eventually [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/de598f2d6c6adc4527f26d841d333d6e/tumblr_mxg2yrhoxG1rpsdt6o1_1280.jpg gave]] her the same name, after ''The Elements of Harmony'' guidebook listed the name as belonging to a then-unspecified Wonderbolt. She's notably the first Wonderbolt to get a toy, though she's [[NoNameGiven unnamed there]].
* AscendedExtra: She's the first Wonderbolt to get a toy. She's even on the banner at [[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ubB0FzVcX-Q/T_4q4Fu0QEI/AAAAAAAAv2o/uMA9C9ZVKXo/s1600/1.jpg Comic Con]], among main characters and fan favorites with Spitfire & Soarin nowhere in sight!
* DependingOnTheArtist: In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E10SecretOfMyExcess Secret of My Excess]]" (her only Season 2 appearance), she has a noticeably darker mane than in her other appearances (in the show, the ExpandedUniverse, the toy line, and TheMerch).
* {{Expy}}: Surprise was a G1 pony.
* LawyerFriendlyCameo: Hasbro doesn't have trademark rights to the name "Surprise" anymore, so she can never actually be called that in official products (except the trading card game with some fan input). Notably, in her speaking appearance in "Newbie Dash" she's credited only as "Wonderbolt 1," and when she's seen out of uniform briefly in the episode it's from the top half only due to her sitting up in bed, so her cutie mark is unseen.
* SuddenlyVoiced: After five seasons she has a few speaking lines in the 6th season episode "Newbie Dash."
!!Misty Fly

She's also been featured on a couple of pieces of TheMerch; [=80sTees=] [[http://www.80stees.com/products/MLPFIM-Wonderbolts-Shirt.asp has]] [[http://www.80stees.com/products/Wonderbolts-Shirt.asp identified]] her as Fleetfoot, but this appears to be a case of CowboyBebopAtHisComputer.
* AscendedExtra: After being absent for two seasons she not only reappears and is named in "Rarity Investigates!" but gets the most amount of lines after Spitfire and Soarin.
* AllThereInTheManual: [[https://derpibooru.org/888270?scope=scpe338720edf72350b2b944b24cfbfa0d39d9624143 This]] page from the UK comics shows what her eyes look like without her goggles on.
* DemotedToExtra: In the season 1 episode "Sonic Rainboom" she joined Spitfire and Soarin as part of the main Wonderbolt trio judging the Best Young Flier Competition. After that, and for the next few seasons, she was only spotted briefly in the background a few times while Fleetfoot took her "trio" spot, appearing with Spitfire and Soarin several times. However, she finally reappears in the fifth season, and as noted above even has a supporting role.

Daring Do [[AllThereInTheScript Dazzle]] is an archaeologist pegasus with yellow fur and a grayscale mane who is the heroine of the adventurous tale of ''Daring Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Stone'' as well as many other titles, a series of books anypony can enjoy.
Daring Do is actually a real pony, as shown in "Daring Don't". Her adventures actually happened and she recounts them in her novel series under the pen name (or maybe it's the other way around) "A.K. Yearling".
There's also a highly detailed [[JustForFun fictional]] [[JustForFun/DaringDo Daring Do work page]] if you are interested.
* ActionGirl: "Another day, another dungeon."
* AdventurerArchaeologist: Considering [[Franchise/IndianaJones who]] she's an {{Expy}} of, it comes with the territory.
* AdventurerOutfit: Complete with pith helmet.
* AlliterativeName: Daring Do [[AllThereInTheScript Dazzle]].
* AllThereInTheScript: The last part of her name, Dazzle, has only been used in the toyline; specifically, in the Miniature Collection's Daring Pony Story Set.
* BadassAdorable: This is a given considering she's a PaletteSwap of Rainbow Dash.
* BadassBookworm: An archeologist and author that can battle several big cats at once.
* BroughtDownToBadass: In ''Quest for the Sapphire Stone'', she loses her ability to fly and becomes Indiana Jones. Flying and she would be almost too good to work as an adventurer archaeologist.
* CharacterNameAndTheNounPhrase: How the titles of her books work.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Her adventurous lifestyle had made her much tougher than the average pony; she recovers quite fast from most injuries, and when she can't escape a death trap by skill, she can do it by sheer strength and determination.
* {{Determinator}}: Nothing's going to stop her from getting the Sapphire Relic.
* EscapeArtist: She's extremely good at escaping death traps. Even when Rainbow Dash had to help her escape from one, Daring was already half-way out.
* {{Expy}}: Ponydom's answer to Franchise/IndianaJones mixed with a bit of [[Franchise/TombRaider Lara Croft]].
* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: Bush shirt and pith helmet, but that's it.
* HandicappedBadass: In ''Quest for the Sapphire Stone'', her right wing was injured in a crash, rendering her unable to fly.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: [[spoiler:Literally. She's the author of an autobiographical series that happens usually separately from the main show.]]
* IWorkAlone: Her attitude to [[spoiler:Rainbow Dash]] at first, but she warms up in the end.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Daring comes across as aloof, cynical, and distrusting of others, but at the end, she does warm up a bit to [[spoiler:Rainbow Dash]].
* LiteraryAgentHypothesis: [[spoiler:About as explicit as they come. Daring Do writes about her own adventures under a pen name and publishes them as a novel series]].
* MeaningfulName: She is a Doer of Daring Things. Also, probably a pun on derring-do, which she is prone to.
* NiceHat: It even helps her to escape Ahuizotl's trap!
* PaletteSwap: Of Rainbow Dash, down to leaving a greyscale rainbow trail behind her when she flies.
* PenName: Either Daring's pen name is [[spoiler:A.K. Yearling]] or Daring is just her alias.
* RealAfterAll: [[spoiler:Her adventures are actually autobiographical and not a work of fiction]].
* ShoutOut: A. K. Yearling, author of a popular series of novels, sounds suspiciously like [[Creator/JKRowling the author]] of [[HarryPotter another famous series of novels]]...
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: "Daring Do" is the trademarked[[note]](in RealLife, not {{In-Universe}})[[/note]] spelling used on [[http://theponyartcollection.tumblr.com/post/26391734445 her and Mare Do Well's trading card]], the ''Another day, another dungeon'' trading card and on the shirt ''[[http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=1922 Daring Do]]'', but "Daring-Do" is the spelling used on the cover of ''Quest for the Sapphire Stone'' (shown in legible form on her and Mare Do Well's trading card and on the shirt ''[[http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=2722 Daring-Do]] [[http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=2725 Cover]]'').
* ThematicRoguesGallery: Downplayed, but implied; our encounters with her enemies in the series imply a "South American" motif to her usual opponents -- her nemesis is Ahuizotl (an Aztec river monster), her villainous rival is Dr. Caballeron (a name which at least sounds "Spanish", and Spanish is the primary language in South America), and season 6 has an encounter with the Cipactli (another Aztec water monster) who guards a treasure.

The Head of the Equestria Games, who also acts as its official inspector and judge.
* {{Adorkable}}: After the CMC performance in the near end, she practically gushes over of how stupendous it really is in the most fangirlish way possible.
* ArtEvolution: At least within "Flight to the Finish", the animators spent extra time to give her more exaggerated mouth movements to accent her proper enunciation and StuffyBrit mannerisms.
* BeingPersonalIsntProfessional: Her ''raison d'être''; she makes other ponies who work with her follow the same mindset. [[HypocriticalHumor Thankfully, she's not immune to breaking her own rules]].
* ButtMonkey: In "Games Ponies Play", she gets passed over in favor of a stranger who happens to fit the ''very'' vague description of her. Then she gets splashed by a sidewalk puddle ''twice'', while carrying her heavy luggage.
* TheComicallySerious: She's a serious mare, which makes her funny when surrounded by silliness.
* IronLady: She takes her job very, ''very'' seriously. However, the Mane Six, the CMC, and Spike have managed to draw out her more [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold friendly]] or [[NotSoAboveItAll fun-loving]] side on separate occasions.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's stuffy and no-nonsense most of the time, but is also easily moved by how hospitable the Mane Six were to Ms. Peachbottom, and is considerably less stern to Spike during the closing ceremony of the Equestria Games.
* LastNameBasis: She repeatedly addresses other characters by their last names, if they ''have'' [[OnlyOneName last names]] (e.g., Rainbow Dash is "Miss Dash", Spike the Dragon is "Mister [[SpeciesSurname the Dragon]]").
* MeaningfulName: She's a pony, so when she speaks, she technically whinnies. She's also a very grouchy and surly DeadpanSnarker.
* NotSoAboveItAll: In "Flight to the Finish", she tries to keep Rainbow Dash from geeking out over her role as Equestria Games coach, only to do exactly the same when she first sees the [=CMC's=] flag-carrying routine.
* PowerHair: It is close cut.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Despite being unintentionally humiliated by the Mane Six's antics in "Games Ponies Play", and even ''knowing'' who's responsible, she still takes their kindness towards a complete stranger into consideration in her decision to name the Crystal Empire the host of the Equestria Games.
* StuffyBrit: Speaks with an exaggerated Received Pronunciation accent.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/CathyWeseluck
A rising star in the Manehattan theatre community and formerly the long-suffering assistant to fashion designer Suri Polomare, Rarity's rival during Fashion Week.
* TwentiesBobHaircut: Manehattan being at least somewhat based on '20s-'40s New York, it's fitting.
* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: The below-mentioned hair clip and (unusually for a female character) a collar.
* {{Adorkable}}: With her {{literal minded}}ness, meek nature, and habit of blushing adorably, Coco is arguably one of the most adorkable characters on the show.
* BeleagueredAssistant: To Suri.
* TheCameo:
** At the end of "Twilight's Kingdom – Part 2", along with the rest of the ponies who gave the Mane Six their keys.
** She can also be seen in one shot attending the Equestria Games.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Blue eyes and [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair a blue mane.]]
* DistaffCounterpart: Being a put-upon and highly competent assistant to another character, she's basically Spike the dragon as a female pony, except with a much meaner boss. They even share a voice actress.
* HairDecorations: Her flower-shaped hair clip, which was given to her by her old mentor Charity Kindheart for her work in community theatre as a filly.
* HeelFaceTurn: Quits working for Suri after seeing the Mane Six's friendship and deciding Suri's "every pony for herself" attitude is wrong. She's rewarded by being given a job working for Rarity's costume designer friend on his next project.
* HeelRealization: She's touched by how generous Rarity and her friends are towards each other, inspiring her to quit her job.
* HypercompetentSidekick: She's actually the one doing all the work Suri got credit for.
* InnocentBlueEyes: They match her mane.
* LiteralMinded: In "Made in Manehattan", when Rarity and Applejack are offering to help her.
-->'''Applejack:''' You bet your boots we will!\\
'''Coco:''' Oh, I don't wear boots. I find they chafe my calves when I walk.\\
'''Applejack:''' It's just an expression.
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: Well, it probably didn't help.
* NiceHat: Doesn't wear one, but has one of these for her cutie mark.
* NiceGirl: Outgoing, friendly, and very considerate.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Her name is a reference to designer UsefulNotes/CocoChanel.
* PuppyDogEyes: During her time as [[MeanBoss Suri's]] assistant, she was often seen with a face that makes her look like a kicked puppy.
* SickEpisode: Although it's not the focus, Coco spends her appearance in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E10TheSaddleRowReview The Saddle Row Review]]" battling a nasty cold.
* SkunkStripe: She has a blue mane with a light-blue stripe in the middle.
* SuddenNameChange: A slight one. In "The Saddle Row Review," Rarity addresses her as Miss Pommel rather than Coco. Jim Miller tweeted that the change was made for [[https://twitter.com/TheBiggestJim/status/735328706655342594 "legal reasons"]] -- most likely because of the Coco Chanel take-off noted above.
* TaremeEyes: Just like Fluttershy, they reflect how kind-hearted she can be.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: She has a blue mane with a light-blue stripe in the middle.

Canterlot's defenders who serve under Shining Armor. These armored stallions show up wherever Canterlot needs extra security and also serve as the Princesses' personal bodyguards. Pegasus guards are usually seen escorting the princesses or as royal flying carriage pullers. Unicorn guards are generally seen around Canterlot and performing some ceremonial procedures. Earth pony guards are hardly ever seen; only a few have appeared.
For your pleasure, there now also is a fictional ForcesWithFirepower page for the [[JustForFun/PoniesWithPikes Royal Guard]].
* AudibleSharpness: Their wings. The second season gives us evidence that [[RazorWings Pegasus wings can be that sharp]].
* BadassBaritone: In the rare occasions they speak, it's usually a deep voice of authority.
* BladeOnAStick: The only weapon they've been seen wielding, so far.
* BodyguardingABadass: They are often seen serving as personal guards or armed escort for the Princesses, who are extremely powerful physically and magically and easily outclass them.
* BritishRoyalGuards: They act like this at times. In "A Bird in the Hoof" Rainbow Dash tries to get a couple of them to react, making small talk and funny faces. The guards don't respond to her at all, causing Rainbow to admit defeat (and boredom), noting that they're good - ''too'' good. They react instantly, however, when Fluttershy tries to get past them until Twilight Sparkle vouches for her. At the end of the episode, Rainbow Dash convinces Philomena to tickle the guards' noses, finally getting them to laugh.
* ColorCodedWizardry: Yellow-green, light blue, or bright yellow for "normal" unicorn guards, silver gray for the Canterlot Archives unicorn guards.
* CreatorCameo: The Pegasi in "A Bird in the Hoof" and one unicorn in "It's About Time" are voiced by director Jayson Thiessen.
* DarkIsNotEvil: In addition to the bat-winged pegasus guards, the nighttime Canterlot Library guards have darker armor than their gold-armored counterparts.
* EvilCounterpart:
** Luna's royal [[http://www.hasbro.com/common/assets/Flash/Creative/dad2af6e1c4311ddbd0b0800200c9a66/0f6b55af5056900b1013cd724a8d4018/assets/characters/MLP_CharH_Pegasus.swf guards]] and [[http://www.hasbro.com/common/assets/Flash/Creative/dad2af6e1c4311ddbd0b0800200c9a66/0f6b55af5056900b1013cd724a8d4018/assets/props/MLP_PropH_Carriage.swf carriage]]. Although they're just evil-''looking'' rather than genuinely evil.
** [[spoiler:The Changelings from "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E26ACanterlotWeddingPart2 A Canterlot Wedding]]" are genuinely evil counterparts. Some of them are shown wearing armor with the same color scheme as the Lunar Pegasus Guards.]]

* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: Whenever they are seen guarding something (be it [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E22ABirdInTheHoof pets]], [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E20ItsAboutTime archives]], the [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E26ACanterlotWeddingPart2 city of Canterlot]], the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks Crystal Empire palace]], ''the [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E1PrincessTwilightSparklePart1 Princesses]]'', an [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E16RarityInvestigates empty hallway]], etc.), one can count on them failing spectacularly at it.
* MildlyMilitary: They can't fight their way out of a soggy paper bag and nicking off for a snack in the middle of guard duty is A-O-K.
* MilitariesAreUseless: Along with the examples under both TheGuardsMustBeCrazy and RedshirtArmy, it's shown in the Season 4 opener that they're completely helpless order-wise without a Princess to point out their tasks. ''They don't even have their own command''.
* PraetorianGuard: They serve as the Princesses' personal bodyguards.
* TheQuietOne: They only talk when necessary, which is rare in the show.
* RedShirtArmy:
** They try to subdue Nightmare Moon in the pilot, but are subdued themselves.
** Again in "The Canterlot Wedding" [[spoiler:where they are quickly slimed into submission by the Changeling Army.]]
** And ''again'', in the Season 4 finale, where [[spoiler:Discord]] even finds the time to tease them beforehand.
* SeriousBusiness: You will almost always see them wearing a serious face whenever they appear. Ceremonial duty is very important you know. Averted by one of the guards in the Canterlot library who catches Twilight sneaking around in "It's About Time"; he cheerfully greets her and opens a door for her before going on his way.
* WingedUnicorn: One of Twilight Sparkle's {{flashback}}s during "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E25ACanterlotWeddingPart1 A Canterlot Wedding – Part 1]]" shows three guards (two light, one dark) with unicorn horns and Pegasus wings; WordOfGod [[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=86386&view=findpost&p=2053490 says]] [[http://comments.deviantart.com/4/1453017/2515683692 that]] this was a {{Blooper}}.
* YouALLLookFamiliar: There are different kinds and colors of them, but the differences between most of them stop there. The unicorn guards have two different uniforms.

The Pony of Pop, Sapphire Shores appeared at Carousel Boutique one day, having read about Rarity's fashion designs. She was so impressed with a GemEncrusted outfit on display that she bought it on the spot and ordered five others similar to it. She has since kept Rarity on retainer as her "favorite designer".

* ChewingTheScenery: She's been known to overact at times, primarily when she gets excited.
* ControlFreak: She's fair, but she works her crew hard to get the performance just right.
* DolphinsDolphinsEverywhere: Her spirit animal.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: She has that effect on ponies.
* {{Expy}}: Averted; a G3 Sapphire Shores exists only in the toyline, but this one looks nothing like her. (Mind you, her unique design means she [[YouDontLookLikeYou looks nothing like]] her ''own'' toy, either.
* InformedAttribute: Despite being known as the Pony of Pop, she doesn't sing so much as a note during either of her appearances.
* NiceGuy: She's very exuberant and a little self-absorbed, but she does seem to be genuinely friendly.
* ThePerfectionist: Wants everything just right for her performance.
* SassyBlackWoman: She seems to be the pony equivalent.

An important and influential business unicorn in Canterlot. He befriends Rarity in the episode "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E9SweetAndElite Sweet and Elite]]" and introduces her to high society life. He makes a small cameo in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E26ACanterlotWeddingPart2 A Canterlot Wedding – Part 2]]", with Rarity, and later appears in Ponyville in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E3TooManyPinkiePies Too Many Pinkie Pies]]". His next major speaking role is in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E10PrincessSpike Princess Spike]]", where he's head of the Canterlot delegation for the Grand Equestrian Pony Summit.
* BlueBlood: Rarity refers to him as the top of Canterlot's elite.
* BowtiesAreCool: He wears a rather snazzy one at the party at the end of the episode.
* TheCameo:
** He makes an inexplicable visit to Ponyville in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E3TooManyPinkiePies Too Many Pinkie Pies]]".
** He appears again alongside Fleur during the musical number in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E8RarityTakesManehattan Rarity Takes Manehattan]]".
* DashinglyDapperDerby: He wears one of these in "Too Many Pinkie Pies".
* HighClassGlass: It makes him look all the more refined; he adjusts it with his unicorn magic.
* MeaningfulName: "Fancy pants" is a common term to describe members of the upper class.
* NiceGuy: Unlike most high-society ponies, he was quite nice to Rarity the whole time and even complimented the simple dress she made for Twilight. That being said, like any other pony/person, [[BewareTheNiceOnes even he has limits]], like when Spike accidentally causes trouble in "Princess Spike".
* NonIndicativeName: He doesn't even wear pants let alone a fancy pair...
* OnlySaneMan: Gives off this vibe during "Princess Spike" once he learns that "Princess Twilight" had stopped a bunch of public works he had ordered specifically to avoid having a disaster during the Canterlot summit, the same disaster that caused him to get beaten back by a tidal wave that had accumulated in the meeting hall.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: According to Rarity, he has a hedgemony on Canterlot's upper class and most (if not all) of its members look to him for cues. He is the first to acknowledge Rarity's sophistication and this catapults her into the upper class spotlight.
* SharpDressedMan: He always wears a classy suit.
* UnclePennybags: He finds the Mane Six not named Rarity "charmingly rustic", and he's pretty humble otherwise.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KellySheridan
A unicorn Rarity hired as manager of her new Canterlot Carousel shop to help everything get ready for its grand opening. She has a multi-point plan to bring the boutique much business and success. Unfortunately, it comes at a price.
* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: Both her name and her [[UnusualEuphemism exclamations]].
* AlliterativeName: ''S''assy ''S''addles.
* ControlFreak: She spends a good part of the episode taking orders, changing dress names, and managing Rarity’s boutique without actually consulting Rarity.
* HeelRealization: Near the end of "Canterlot Boutique," she realizes that her business structure was wrong because it did not bring everypony happiness. She apologizes to Rarity for all the problems she's caused and Rarity, being the Element of Generosity, forgives her and gives her another chance as branch manager of Canterlot Carousel. In "Rarity Investigates!", she and Rarity are getting along much better.
* HiddenDepths: When Rarity announces she's going to shut down Canterlot Carousel, Sassy laments that she can't be part of "another" failed boutique, implying she's seen this happen many times before. This would explain why she's so desperate for success and so risk-averse.
* HypercompetentSidekick: Played with. She does inadvertently push around her employer, but her experience does serve the boutique (mostly) well. And she proves to have input that Rarity can't ignore and displays a showmanship that Rarity is glad to play off at a fashion exhibition.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Slightly, but when she takes in another 100 orders for the princess dress and suggests mass producing it, she let's slip it'll be the success of ''Sassy Saddles'' Boutique. To which at that point, Rarity brings her back to reality, correcting Sassy that it's ''her'' shop.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite overstepping her bounds with her employer in her enthusiasm for the boutique's prosperity, it's clear from the get-go she does want was best for the store and believes that her methods does benefit Rarity. When she's proven wrong, she's humbled and willing to learn from her mistakes.
* NoodleIncident: When Rarity announces she’s closing down shop, she panics over being part of ''another'' failed boutique.
* ObliviouslyEvil: While evil might be stretching it -- "Obliviously Selfish" might work better -- she doesn't seem to realize just how selfish she is and how damaging she can be.
* SeverelySpecializedStore: Turns Canterlot Carousel into this as she has Rarity, a celebrated dressmaker, make copies of the same dress two hundred times and relentlessly markets it while ignoring other designs or variations.
* ShoutOut: Her exclamations are specialized versions of [[Literature/PrinceCaspian Trumpkin's]].
* UnusualEuphemism: She seems to like two-word, alliterative ones related to fashion terms.
* VillainyFreeVillain: Sassy isn't exactly a malicious enemy or a serious villain. She is just a hard-to-work-with employee who gets into conflict with Rarity over creative differences on running the boutique.

->'''Voiced by:''' Ian Hanlin
Starlight Glimmer's childhood friend, who left to study magic in Canterlot when they were foals. In the present day, he lives in the Crystal Empire.
* AdjustingYourGlasses: Sunburst pushes his glasses up quite often, as they keep slipping. Unlike Moondancer, though, he usually does it with his hoof rather than with magic.
* {{Adorkable}}: He is nerdy, kind of shy, has a low opinion on himself, is pretty friendly, loves to study magic and is obviously quite adorable.
* BadassBookworm: Downplayed; despite his thorough knowledge of magic on paper, he is a poor spellcaster. However, his EncyclopaedicKnowledge still winds up saving the day.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Starlight.
* CynicismCatalyst: He's the very reason that Starlight resented Cutie Marks.
* EncyclopaedicKnowledge: Though Sunburst's own magic isn't any greater than the average unicorn's, his ''knowledge'' of magic is superior to that of any of the Princesses. He even recognized at a glance Twilight's reconstruction of the Spell of Relic Reconstitution. More than this though, his talent seems to be applying this knowledge in abstract or theoretical ways (compared to Twilight who is very straightforward when it comes to the use of magic she learns). That is he is able to use his knowledge of how magic works on ancient and powerful objects to realize that no one spell can fix the Crystal Heart, and that various spells must be combined in a certain way.
* {{Hermit}}: It doesn't seem like he gets out much, and he didn't even notice the storm outside his window.
* IneptMage: Downplayed: he certainly felt like one in magic school, but he is still able to use regular unicorn powers at least. Nevertheless, despite his thorough knowledge of magic '''theory''' he is not a powerful spellcaster by any means.
* {{Irony}}: Sunburst was shipped off to Canterlot due to his apparent great magical talent, which caused Starlight's descent into villainy until she was talked out of it by Twilight. When Starlight finally meets up with him again, it turns out his talent is average despite earning a cutie mark from it (albeit this is a misunderstanding, as his real talent is learning about magic rather than actually performing magic spells), further proving her old philosophy wrong (and meaning his cutie mark caused him a fair amount of strife as well).
* MessyHair: Like Moondancer, he seems to have put aside grooming in favor of studying.
* NiceGuy: He's a pretty sweet guy.
* OldShame: [[invoked]] Sunburst couldn't confront Starlight after so long because he didn't want her to know that he really ''wasn't'' all that powerful as she thought he was -- turns out his little show when he gained his Mark was a total fluke.
* PlatonicLifePartners: With Starlight, though that doesn't mean ShipTease doesn't occur.
* RedIsHeroic: Has red hair and helps save the Crystal Empire.
* ShoutOut: He has some similarities to [[Literature/{{Discworld}} Rincewind]], being a red-haired magic user with a scruffy beard who knows how magic works, but not how to use it, had a hard time at magic school, and even though he considers himself a failure, still wears the traditional wizard garb.
* TheSmartGuy: Becomes this to the Crystal Empire.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: He is very smart and knowledgeable about magic and wears glasses. However, spellcasting is not his forte.
* SpearCounterpart: To Moondancer, as they're both unicorns who have dedicated their lives to magical studies, living in relative isolation despite residing in a big city each, and having a very low opinion of themselves; also, a lot of their current issues come from an old, close friendship falling apart, and, in the end, they get much better once rekindling with their respective old friend.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Had he not left Starlight after getting his Cutie Mark, let's just say Equestria wouldn't have gone through seven different apocalypses.
* WalkingSpoiler: To know of his existence is to know of Starlight's FreudianExcuse, hence the unmarked spoilers.
* WeakButSkilled: As an adult, his magical ability is a lot more limited, but he has a lot of magical knowledge through years of research.
* WizardBeard: Downplayed and then subverted; he has a longish goatee, but it turns out he's not a wizard.

[[folder:Thorax]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thorax.png]]
->'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E17TheTimesTheyAreAChangeling The Times They Are a Changeling]]"
->'''Voiced by:''' Kyle Rideout
A changeling who defected from Queen Chrysalis. Hiding out in the Crystal Empire, all Thorax really wants in life is to make friends.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Thorax considers himself "different" from other changelings, even from when he was first hatched. The attack on Canterlot led him to realise he wanted real friends, not just to feed on love.
* ApologeticAttacker: Being around love and kindness [[MyInstinctsAreShowing causes him to hiss and growl at anyone around him,]] and whenever that happens he immediately begins apologizing.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Thorax has a teal green dorsal carapace to differentiate him from the usual navy blue changelings. Also his magic aura is blue, unlike the usual SicklyGreenGlow of the changelings.
* DefectorFromDecadence: Thorax was a member of Chrysalis's army during her attack on Canterlot, but upon seeing the Mane Six's friendship and desiring it for himself he defected.
* GlamourFailure: Thorax struggles and fails to hold his disguised form of "Crystal Hoof" when so close to the love given off from Flurry Heart and the other ponies.
* GoodCostumeSwitch: Although not a costume, strictly speaking, in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E25ToWhereAndBackAgainPart1 To Where And Back Again]]" Thorax has new wings that shine like crystal, something that both Starlight and Thorax himself notice.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Just like Gilda (and Gabby after him), he's now trying to introduce the concept of friendship to his whole race, which is even harder in this case.
* MookFaceTurn: In his backstory. According to Thorax, he was part of the attack on Canterlot by Chrysalis and her army, but upon seeing the friendship of the Mane Six and desiring it for himself, he decided to change.
* MyInstinctsAreShowing: When Spike asks Thorax if anypony had showed him kindness before, the latter responds with a ravenous hiss, saying that "kindness like that sort of brings it out". This comes back to bite him hard when he can't control himself around Flurry Heart. The fact that he's been starving for a long time doesn't help.
* NoInfantileAmnesia: Thorax can remember the day he was hatched with great clarity.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Aside from his uniquely colored carapace, Thorax stands out from other changelings due to having rounder eyes, and differently-shaped ears.
%%* StrangerInAFamiliarLand: In "To Where And Back Again", Thorax seemed terrified of return to the Changeling Kingdom, stating he hoped to never see that place again. (leaving hidden until there's more information when Part 2 airs)
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: Thorax tries to do this after Spike betrays him, calling himself an "evil changeling". However, it doesn't last long and he once again saves Spike from falling off a cliff.
* TokenHeroicOrc: Thorax is, as implied by both previous appearances of changelings and his own flashbacks, a very rare genuinely friendly member of the changeling species.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Thorax, as a changeling, is capable of this, even disguising himself as a rock at one point.

[[folder:Steven Magnet the Sea Serpent]]
[[quoteright:229:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Steven_Magnet_by_Hnrvb_8294.png]]
->'''Debut:''' [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E2ElementsOfHarmony "Friendship Is Magic, Part 2" ("Elements of Harmony")]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LeeTockar
A large purple scaled [[SeaMonster Sea Serpent]] with orange hair, encountered in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E2ElementsOfHarmony Elements of Harmony]]". His thrashing made a river uncrossable, blocking the ponies' progress. He's not a villain, though; he was simply distressed that a "tacky little cloud" had sliced off his perfect mustache. Not about to let such a crime against "fabulosity" go unanswered, Rarity came to his aid and the ponies were graciously allowed to cross. His [[LargeHam drama queen]] antics and [[AmbiguouslyGay metrosexual]] mindset gave him a notoriety among fans who dubbed him "Steven Magnet" after a [[SoBadItsGood hilariously bad]] Website/YouTube auto-caption, and this FanNickname has since become AscendedFanon due to the toyline making it his official AllThereInTheScript name. And finally, in the Season Five episode "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E9SliceOfLife Slice of Life]]", he introduces himself by that name when first meeting Matilda at the Ponyville Spa.
* AdvertisedExtra: Despite only appearing in two episodes so far (the second and the 100th), he's been in 3 different commercials (even saying his "It's so true!" line in the two American ones): the [[TheHub Hub]] commercial seen [[http://see.walmart.com/hasbro/girls-hub/Girls.swf here]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUrDxdlHANI this commercial]], and the British [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm8m-LOqplA Boomerang commercial]] announcing the show's UK premiere.
* AllThereInTheManual: [[http://theponyartcollection.tumblr.com/post/26391734445 His trading card]], the show's script, and [[https://twitter.com/M_A_Larson/status/210414549281685507 a tweet by one of the show's writers]] all call him a ''sea'' serpent/monster, even though he's only shown in the river, though [[https://twitter.com/M_A_Larson/status/216035777526767616 a later tweet by the same writer]] calls him a river serpent. His trading card also mentions that he has a magnetic personality (referencing his name, which wasn't yet AscendedFanon when the card was made).
* AllThereInTheScript: The [[http://cdn.toyark.com/news/attach/1/9/9/9/My-Little-Pony-Toy-Fair-2013-037_1360451576.jpg Elements of Harmony Friends]] character collection set names him [[AscendedFanon Steven Magnet]].
* AscendedExtra: He gets a molded toy in an [[http://stitchkingdom.tumblr.com/post/42688291715/upcoming-mlpfim-mini-packs-tf13-tfny molded toy]] from an [[http://cdn.toyark.com/news/attach/1/9/9/9/My-Little-Pony-Toy-Fair-2013-037_1360451576.jpg Elements of Harmony Friends]] character collection set.
* AscendedFanon:[[invoked]] His voice actor adopted his fan name as his actual name, saying it just fit.
* AudibleSharpness: His scales do this if you pluck one off.
* {{Camp}}: He's ''absolutely fabulous.''
* CharacterDevelopment: When we first meet Steven he's crying a river because his mustache was chopped in half. Come Cranky's wedding, he willingly cuts his mustache for Cranky to use as a toupee.
* TheDandy: As much as possible for a naked scaled serpent and something only [[TheFashionista Rarity]] understands.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Averted when he only has half a mustache. Played straight after Rarity's assistance but in fairness to him, he technically has a whole mustache after her gift.
* FelonyMisdemeanor: Nopony but Rarity takes his dilemma seriously.
* GayBestFriend: Is pretty much this to Cranky. Though subverted in the fact that [[WordOfGod Lauren Faust said on Twitter]] that he's "as straight as they come".
* GentleGiant: He's massive in size compared to a pony (or donkey), but he surely is friendly.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: He and Cranky apparently had great adventures together.
* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: His "mous-STACHE"
* LargeHam: His crying is enough to turn the river into an impassable torrent.
* NoNameGiven: At least in his original episode. (Though one could make an argument this is untrue, given his name comes from Youtube's auto subtitles.)
* NonMammalianHair: He's a reptile; why does he have a mustache in the first place?
* OddFriendship: He's apparently friends with Cranky Doodle Donkey. Close enough to be his best man, erm, sea serpent at the later's wedding.
* RentAZilla: It's a wonder how he fits into that river.
* SeaMonster: He's a classic sea serpent but in a river instead.
* YourSizeMayVary: His [[http://stitchkingdom.tumblr.com/post/42688291715/upcoming-mlpfim-mini-packs-tf13-tfny molded toy]] from the [[http://cdn.toyark.com/news/attach/1/9/9/9/My-Little-Pony-Toy-Fair-2013-037_1360451576.jpg Elements of Harmony Friends]] character collection set is on a much smaller scale than the ponies' equivalent molded toys.

[[folder:The Wonderbolts]]
[[quoteright:136:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Wonderbolt_Poster_by_Stinkehund_8667.png]]
->'''First Mention:''' [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E1MareInTheMoon "Friendship is Magic - Part 1" ("Mare in the Moon")]]\\
'''Full Debut:''' "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E3TheTicketMaster The Ticket Master]]"
The most talented flyers in all of Equestria and Rainbow Dash's idols. The Wonderbolts perform at the Grand Galloping Gala every year and also served as celebrity judges for the Best Young Flyer Competition in Cloudsdale. The organization itself was founded one year after Princess Luna's banishment to the moon. As a result, they have quite a long and storied history.
[[AllThereInTheManual According to the official guidebook]] the team has at least twelve members: Blaze, Fire Streak, Fleetfoot, High Winds, Lightning Streak, Misty Fly, Rapidfire, Silver Lining, Soarin, Spitfire, Surprise and Wave Chill. Only eleven have thus far been seen, though.
!!Tropes which apply to the entire group
* AdaptationNameChange: One of Creator/TheHub's alternate stories of how Rainbow Dash got her cutie mark refers to them as the Blue Thunders.
* BadassAdorable: They're the equivalent of a military group in Equestria who also operate as stunt fliers and a rescue team... and are still adorable ponies underneath those flight suits.
* BadassInDistress:
** Very briefly in "Sonic Rainboom" when Rarity punches them during their attempt to save her from falling to death.
** Again in "Secret to My Excess", though the situation is somewhat less dire.
* BigDamnHeroes: In addition to being performers, they're Equestria's rescue team as seen in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E16SonicRainboom Sonic Rainboom]]" and "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E10SecretOfMyExcess Secret of My Excess]]". Too bad they fail in both situations. They finally get a successful chance in "Party Pooped".
* CoolShades: Their uniforms at the Wonderbolt Academy come with these.
* EmbarrassingNickname: Many of the Wonderbolts have these, often earned for some screwup on their first day as Wonderbolts. Soarin' is "Clipper". Fleetfoot is "Flatfoot". Misty Fly is "Daisy". Surprise is "Slowpoke". High Winds is "Hoof-in-Mouth". Spitfire's nickname is so embarrassing she [[TheUnreveal refuses to say it out loud]].
* TheFaceless: Prior to Season 6, most of the team is always seen in their uniforms which cover their faces and their eyes are always covered by their goggles, leaving only their muzzles visible. Only Spitfire, Soarin, and Fleetfoot were seen out of uniform at that point, but the rest of the team has briefly been seen out of uniform now as well.
* GlassCannon: They are incredibly fast and agile, and at full speed their wings can cut through dragon scales like knife through butter, but a single hit from Rarity was enough to send three of them plummeting to their (almost) death. Makes sense since [[FridgeBrilliance horses kick a lot harder than humans can]] and [[GirlyBruiser Rarity]] [[IKnowKarate Knows Kung Fu]].
* LatexSpaceSuit: What their blue uniforms appear to be.
* MulticoloredHair: Three of them have this.
* MildlyMilitary: More like ambiguously military -- it's somewhat implied they're part of Equestria's military force, but never how. The group is clearly inspired by the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Angels Blue Angels]] and the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Air_Force_Thunderbirds Thunderbirds]], and one needs to undergoing extensive training to join them. "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E22TestingTesting123 Testing Testing 1, 2, 3]]" reveals that the Wonderbolts were originally formed from members of the E.U.P. Guard, an organization formed after Luna's banishment to protect Celestia, and their past leaders bore military ranks. However, Spitfire doesn't seem to hold such a rank in the present, and they were originally a performance group, rather than a force intended for combat. Whether they've stayed even loosely affiliated in the thousand years since then is unknown. That episode also revealed that entering the Wonderbolts Reserves does '''not''' require entering the E.U.P., Equestria's military. A civilian organization that has some military personnel and ties, like UsefulNotes/{{NASA}}, seems to be the closest real world situation.
* NiceGuy: They are superfamous celebrities, but they keep a humble attitude and are openly friendly towards their fans; in fact, they were the '''only''' nice ponies around during the Grand Galloping Gala. Besides Rarity, they were the only guests who didn't think themselves were too good for Applejack's apple treats.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: The Wonderbolts are [[https://twitter.com/goldenrusset/status/147573636369354752 likely]] based on the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Angels US Navy Blue Angels]], resembling them in colour scheme, profession and flying style, while their name recalls the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Air_Force_Thunderbirds Thunderbirds]].
* NoNameGiven: All of them except Soarin, Spitfire, Fleetfoot, Rapidfire, [[AllThereInTheScript Misty Fly]], Blaze and [[AllThereInTheScript Surprise]].
* OCStandIn: It's starting to become a trend on Website/{{Tumblr}} to start blogs for the [[NoNameGiven unnamed]] Wonderbolts. They're on the same level as most background ponies, perhaps even lower since they show up less than, say, Derpy or Lyra. Even their cutie marks are a mystery, but they still receive {{Fanon}}.
* OpaqueLenses: Their goggles.
* RazorWings: Probably a by-product of natural Pegasi abilities; sharp enough to shave a dragon if they feel like it.
* RunningGag: In most episodes where the Wonderbolts have an important role, there had been somepony falling and needing to be saved; in all these cases, Rainbow Dash had been the rescuer, or part of the rescuers if this is done by more than one pegasus.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Whether their name is two words or one. "Wonderbolts" is used in the title of the episode "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E7WonderboltsAcademy Wonderbolts Academy]]", on Spitfire, Misty Fly & Soarin's [[http://i48.tinypic.com/285h1k.png collector cards]] (as a trademark), in Enterplay's trading cards (in [[http://chimicherrychanga.com/img/tc/22a.jpg the front of the Spitfire and Soarin card]]'s case, as a trademark), in Ruckus Media Group's [[IOSGames iOS app]] ''[[http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-little-pony-twilight-sparkle/id465213808?mt=8 Twilight Sparkle: Teacher for a Day]]'', in Creator/{{Gameloft}}'s ''VideoGame/MyLittlePony'' game, on Hasbro's ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' Website/{{Facebook}} and {{Twitter}} pages and in a [[http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/File:%22The_Wonderbolts%22_name_dispute_email_screenshot.png response]] by the company's customer service, on Creator/TheHub's {{Facebook}} [[http://www.facebook.com/hubtvnetwork page]], in Mighty Fine's merchandise and listings of & advertising for said merchandise, in a [[https://twitter.com/Fyre_flye/status/241037025476747265 tweet]] by show creator Creator/LaurenFaust, [[https://twitter.com/KeatingRogers/status/233652109290131457 as]] [[https://twitter.com/KeatingRogers/status/254016274819055616 well]] [[https://twitter.com/KeatingRogers/status/254065810614652928 as]] [[https://twitter.com/KeatingRogers/status/254274233197264896 in]] [[https://twitter.com/KeatingRogers/status/260835935405604864 six]] [[https://twitter.com/KeatingRogers/status/261483846204272641 tweets]] by writer Amy Keating Rogers, while "Wonder Bolts" is used on the Miniature Collection toy sets' boxes (as a trademark), in the British [[TieInNovel magazine story]] "The Ticket Master" (a {{Novelization}} of [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E3TheTicketMaster the episode of the same name]]), [[http://www.facebook.com/mylittlepony/posts/348953445122099 by]] Hasbro's ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' Website/{{Facebook}} [[http://www.facebook.com/mylittlepony page]], as well as [[https://twitter.com/M_A_Larson/status/227059090948493312 by]] writer M.A. Larson "[=WonderBolts=]" has been used in a [[https://twitter.com/MMeghanMcCarthy/status/254072938737856513 tweet]] by writer Meghan [=McCarthy=].
* SpellMyNameWithAThe: Possibly.
* VagueAge: Their goggles hide whether or not they have bags under their eyes.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse:
** Six Wonderbolts performed an acrobatic stunt before the start of the Best Young Flyer Competition. Three of them sat in the stands and were the only ones who tried to rescue Rarity later in the episode. The other three flew off the top of the screen and weren't seen again.
** Again in the Season 1 finale "Best Night Ever", we don't see what happens to Spitfire and Soarin after Rainbow Dash catches the statue. There's also all the other Wonderbolts who Rainbow Dash might've had better luck hanging out with, though her focusing on Spitfire and Soarin makes sense in hindsight now that we know Spitfire is the captain and Soarin may be second in command.
* TheWorfEffect: For such an elite group, they have an abysmal track record of doing anything useful in dangerous situations.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Soarin and a few others. Additionally a poster seen in "Friendship is Magic - Part 1" shows a stylized depiction of three blue-haired Wonderbolts.

A yellow {{Pegasus}} mare with a fiery looking mane, Spitfire has a laid back and easy going personality in contrast to her appearance. "Hurricane Fluttershy" revealed that she is the leader of the Wonderbolts (as many fans had assumed beforehand). She's getting a partly-translucent [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5gHDdPXnuFI/UCGjj6-abiI/AAAAAAAAzJg/vzpCI0FQNj4/s1600/3.jpg toy]] in Blind Bag Wave 7.
* ADayInTheLimelight: The ''Friends Forever'' comic series not only makes her the protagonist of issue 11, but expands her personality and backstory considerably.
* BeneathTheMask: ''Friends Forever 11'' shows what Spitfire's like when she's not busy leading the Wonderbolts, and she has some considerable HiddenDepths.
* BrokenAce: Revealed in ''Friends Forever 11''. Spitfire's only method for leading is to shout and criticize her recruits, and when she can't do that (like say, because it's a pack of kids), she has no idea how to command and completely loses her nerve. Rainbow lampshades "everypony's got a few flaws" when Spitfire expresses her regret at having this problem. She also reveals she initially didn't ''want'' to leader the Wonderbolts, because leadership sounded boring -- she just found out she was good at it via her DrillSergeantNasty routine, and she sticks to that because it's all she knows.
* BrokenPedestal: Briefly becomes one for Rainbow Dash in "Wonderbolts Academy" when she seemingly rewards Lightning Dust for her recklessness by naming her TheLeader. [[RebuiltPedestal It doesn't last long]], as Spitfire chases after her to give the response that Rainbow Dash didn't stick around for.
* TheCameo: At the end of "Twilight's Kingdom Part 2", along with the rest of the ponies who gave the Mane Six their keys.
* TheCaptain: Of the Wonderbolts, as revealed in "Hurricane Fluttershy".
* ChildHater: Played with. She doesn't hate kids, but she can't deal with them because she can't be her usual DrillSergeantNasty self to children. ''Friends Forever 11'' focuses on her and Rainbow teaching a bunch of young pegasi, and Spitfire completely freezes up and has no idea what to do. She eventually ''does'' try that routine with them because it's all she knows, and she makes them burst into tears.
%%* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
* DesignStudentsOrgasm: Her cutie mark is [[http://derpiboo.ru/183403 unusually complex]] compared to those of other characters.
* DrillSergeantNasty: At the Wonderbolt Academy, where she likes to intimidate new recruits. ''Friends Forever 11'' has her tell Rainbow that she acts this way because she knows they can take it, and they know she's only doing it because she wants to make them the best fliers they can be.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Spitfire's known to be a hard-nosed DrillSergeantNasty on the job, but when she's deceived into believing that her mother is ill with pegasitis in "Rarity Investigates!", she doesn't hesitate to travel in search of a medicinal mountain iris in spite of the plant's extreme scarcity during springtime.
* FieryRedhead: Generally {{averted|Trope}}, [[DrillSergeantNasty except when training cadets]].
* FlamingHair: Spitfire's mane and tail resemble blazing flames.
* JerkassFacade: Revealed in ''Friends Forever 11''. She's actually a perfectly nice and pleasant pony in private, but when she's commanding, the only way she knows to motivate and lead the Wonderbolts is to be a DrillSergeantNasty.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She is generally a nice pony (at least when she's not training potential recruits) but her view of how one should be the best causes her to act questionably at times, such as initially rewarding the sociopathic Lightning Dust for her performances despite her treating her fellow cadets like fodder to do so, and outright lying about Soarin's condition to try to get Rainbow Dash to join her team. She is, however, also willing to listen to reason, and if somepony (mainly Rainbow Dash) points out that she's crossing the line, then she's quick to see the error of her ways.
* MeaningfulName: She is named after the UsefulNotes/WW2-era [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermarine_Spitfire Supermarine Spitfire]] Fighter Plane (perhaps the most iconic plane of the whole war).
* NotSoDifferent: To Rainbow Dash, as it turns out. She's a good pony but can occasionally hold the JerkassBall firmly with both forehooves; comparable to the RD of the first season, who would resort to cheating to win a race or [[NoSympathy harshly chew her friends out for their phobias]]. The present-day Rainbow Dash, who's since [[TookALevelInKindness softened up]], is usually the one to call Spitfire out and get her to drop her less than savory characteristics.
* OnceASeason: She has a supporting role and speaking lines in at least one episode every season.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: ''Friends Forever 11'' has her trying to teach kids how to fly, but she's not used to taking care of kids. Seeing Spitfire of all ponies hiding behind Rainbow Dash and shrinking into corners unable to talk really hammers home how ''terrified'' she is of the situation.
* {{Pride}}: Her biggest vice.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: In "Wonderbolt Academy", Rainbow Dash can't argue with her logic in making Lightning Dust the leader and her the wingpony ("You'll be an unstoppable team"), but when Lightning Dust reveals her disregard for the safety of others, she demotes Dust and puts the more levelheaded Dash in her place.
* RedOniBlueOni: Despite her appearance, she's the levelheaded Blue to Soarin's compulsive Red. It's the other way around when she's paired with Rainbow Dash however.
* SameCharacterButDifferent: In her appearances during the first two seasons, she appears fairly laid-back and friendly, especially towards Rainbow Dash ([[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E16SonicRainboom who saved her life when they first met in person]]). In Season 3 she's a [[FieryRedhead tough-as-nails]] -- [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure though still reasonable]] -- [[DrillSergeantNasty drill instructor who throws insults at new Wonderbolt cadets, Dash being no exception]]. {{Justified|Trope}} since they ''are'' at a boot camp whereas she was more or less off duty in earlier appearances, so it could just be a front she puts up on the job, and Spitfire has no reason to go soft on her savior.
* [[ShesAManInJapan She's a Stallion in Poland]]: Possibly in the Polish dub. She has a male voice in both "Sonic Rainboom" and "The Best Night Ever", but it might just be an extreme case of CrossDressingVoices. In "Hurricane Fluttershy", she is voiced by a woman.
* VocalEvolution: After Kelly Metzger takes up the role, her voice goes from relatively mid-pitched in "The Best Night Ever" to higher pitched and raspy in "Wonderbolts Academy".

This lovable blue Pegasus stallion despite his goofy personality is one of the best fliers in Equestria. He ''really'' loves pies. He makes a small cameo in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E26ACanterlotWeddingPart2 A Canterlot Wedding – Part 2]]", dancing with Rainbow Dash and out of his flight suit to boot, instead wearing a uniform that implies he's second-in-command. He's getting a partly-translucent [[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XNB_kWOokEA/UCGjjpOnDLI/AAAAAAAAzJY/tk6KcWSgtyA/s1600/2.jpg toy]] in Blind Bag Wave 7.
* {{Adorkable}}: Seems to have this personality, especially in regards to pies.
* AllThereInTheManual: [[http://theponyartcollection.tumblr.com/post/26391528291 His and Spitfire's trading card]] confirms that pie is his TrademarkFavoriteFood.
* ArtEvolution: A minor bit, but his cutie mark was first shown to just be the same as what's on his Wonderbolts uniform. A later appearance in "Rainbow Falls" updated it to resemble a lightning bolt striking some clouds.
* BigEater: According to his teammate Spitfire, he always gets hungry after a performance. When he finds Applejack's food cart, he goes absolutely nuts for one of her apple pies. This has led to {{Shipping}} between the two.
* BigNo: "MYYYYYYYYYYY PIIIIIIEEEEEE!"
* CrazyConsumption: Soarin ''literally'' eats like a horse.
%%* GreenEyes
* DistractedByTheSexy: Gets into an accident in "Rainbow Falls" due to being distracted by cheerleaders.
* EmbarrassingNickname: "Clipper", from the time he clipped his wing on a flagpole on his first day as a Wonderbolt.
* {{Keet}}: He's extremely friendly and really likes pies.
* NiceGuy: Of the Wonderbolts who've been characterized in the series, he's consistently nice and friendly, and fair when he has to take charge. Meanwhile, Spitfire, while most times a friendly enough mare and a ReasonableAuthorityFigure, isn't above [[MsViceGirl letting the idea and drives of being the best overtake her]] until called on it. In contrast, Fleetfoot is just plain smug. His nice guy image is tarnished by giving into peer pressure when Rainbow Dash earned her unfortunate nickname "Rainbow Crash.
* NotSoDifferent: From Rainbow Dash. Both have adorkable sides, both are speedy athletes, and both have a tendency to give into peer pressure when it comes to their teammates and friends, both are loyal to their friends, and as of Newbie Dash, are both Wonderbolts. It's this reason that many fans of Rainbow Dash ship her with Soarin.
* NumberTwo: Soarin seems nice and silly in most of his appearance. However, it was shown in "Rarity Investigates!" that he's capable of taking command when needed and does a good job delegating duties and controlling the situation. He's hinted to be the second-in-command of the Wonderbolts, a position that they don't give to just anyone.
* TheOneGuy: Downplayed. While he isn't the only stallion on the team, he's been the only prominent one with a supporting role.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: When Spitfire is sent on a wild goose chase in "Rarity Investigates!", the normally laid-back Soarin makes it clear that he will have to ban Rainbow Dash from the Wonderbolts if she is found to be responsible, but at the same time is willing to give her the opportunity to prove herself innocent.
* RedOniBlueOni: Despite their mane colors, this is {{inverted|Trope}} as Soarin is the Red Oni to Spitfire's Blue Oni.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name was originally spelled "Soarin'" with an apostrophe, and this spelling has been used by Enterplay's trading card set and Mighty Fine's apparel, but Hasbro's Blind Bags and Creator/{{Gameloft}}'s ''VideoGame/MyLittlePony'' game have since spelled it "Soarin" without the apostrophe.
* SweetTooth: Soarin has a big one for Applejack's pie, considering how fast he eats it at the Grand Galloping Gala.
* [[TheFriendNobodyLikes The Teammate Nobody Likes]]: When he gets injured, his teammates not only don't visit him in the hospital, but try to replace him even after he gets better. Ouch.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Pie.
* {{Tuckerization}}: He was named after Amy Keating Rogers' son Soren. Rogers was the writer for "The Best Night Ever", which featured the Wonderbolts.
* VagueAge: the bags under his eyes make him look middle-aged, but his voice makes it sounds like he's in his early 20's. Given he looks about the same age as Rainbow Dash, he's probably a young adult like her.
* VocalDissonance: He sounds younger than the bags under his eyes imply he is.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: His toy uses the same mold as the female Wonderbolts' toys, only being indicated as male by sporting the male Wonderbolts' winged lightning bolt symbol rather than the female Wonderbolts' plain lightning bolt symbol.
!!Fleetfoot
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fleetfoot_1706.png]]
[[caption-width-right:200:Not everyone can fly with the winners.]]
->'''First Appearance:''' [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E26TheBestNightEver The Best Night Ever]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AndreaLibman
A blue pegasus with a mostly white mane with a streak of light blue in it, [[AllThereInTheManual green eyes, and a cutie mark of a winged horseshoe.]] She's apparently one of the smaller Wonderbolts, but makes up for it with great speed. She wins the derby in "Sweet and Elite". In the comics, she develops a crush on Big Macintosh after being hit by some fireworks and crashing into him at a festival.
* AllThereInTheManual: Creator/IDWPublishing's ''[[ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDW Friendship is Magic]]'' comic book issue #9 reveals her eye color and her cutie mark... which gets subsequently {{Jossed}} by the episode "Rainbow Falls". However, even after the show revealed what she looks the comics published after have retained her alternative green-eyed look.
* AscendedExtra: She is only briefly mentioned and could only be identified via a FreezeFrameBonus in "Sweet and Elite", but shows up in "Rainbow Falls" as a major character.
* EmbarrassingNickname: "Flatfoot". On her first day as a Wonderbolt she misjudged a landing and came down right on Spitfire's hoof.
* FreezeFrameBonus: How she's identified. In "Sweet and Elite" its announced she's the winner of the race, however it's hard to tell which Wonderbolt is Fleetfoot since they move so fast. Pausing at the right moment reveals she's the blue, white-maned Wonderbolt.
* LoveAtFirstSight: In the IDW comic, instantly falls for Big Mac when she first sees him, though the concussion she got may have helped.
* MsViceGirl: Like Spitfire, she has a real problem with her pride and ego, but not so much that she won't admit if she's screwed up by doing something questionable after being called out on it compared to the regular [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicJerksAndBullies jerks and bullies]] that show up in FIM.
* OCStandIn: Had a rather notable example in the Blog/AskAPony community with [[http://ask-echo-wonderbolt.tumblr.com/ Echo]], the [[HandicappedBadass blind Wonderbolt]]. The blog started a few days before "Sweet and Elite" aired. Echo's was popular in that community despite Fleetfoot being little more than a named background pony.
* OffModel: In a wide shot in "The Best Night Ever", she's missing her tail.
* SmugSuper: She's one of the fastest Wonderbolts and has no problem showing that off. In "Rainbow Falls", both she and Spitfire are adamant about winning the Equestria Games competition, seeing themselves as natural winners and anyone less skilled as a liability to be dropped as quickly as possible, though Fleetfoot is about five times as blunt about it. Even the comic, which instead plays her up as an {{Adorkable}} StalkerWithACrush, still has a bit of this; Fleetfoot has an ImagineSpot of marrying Big Macintosh and resigning from the Wonderbolts which leads them to disband, the imaginary newspaper headline saying, "There's no point without the best flyer ever!"
* SpeechImpediment: Talks with a slight lisp.
* StalkerWithACrush: #10 of the comic portrays her as this to Big Mac.
* YouDontLookLikeYou:
** She's playable in Creator/{{Gameloft}}'s ''VideoGame/MyLittlePony'' game, though her mane is solid light blue, has blue wings, and a white nose and ears. Preview demos had the white, blonde-maned Wonderbolt incorrectly labeled as Fleetfoot, so her model may have been changed late in development to closer match the show's Fleetfoot.
** The comic and cartoon adaptations notably differ in appearances. In the cartoon she has purple eyes and in the comic they're green. While her cutie mark consists of a horseshoe in both, the cartoon portrays it as a black one diving down and reaching a sonic boom the comic one instead shows it as a yellow one with wings. However, the comics have started portraying her with her TV show look.
!!Rapidfire
Another participant in the "Sweet & Elite" race, Fancy Pants believed he would win, but Fleetfoot beat him and the other Wonderbolts. Unlike Fleetfoot, which one he is isn't entirely clear other than "not Soarin". It [[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=83737&view=findpost&p=1960624 isn't specified]] which one he is but he's most likely the gray one with a white mane who appears at the start of, during and at the finish of the Derby; [[{{Blooper}} at least one other unnamed male Wonderbolt appears in some shots, but not all of them]].
!!Surprise
->'''First Appearance:''' "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E3TheTicketMaster The Ticket Master]]"

A white Pegasus mare with a yellow mane. She resembles [[https://derpicdn.net/img/view/2014/3/12/572954__safe_solo_g1_g1+to+g4_surprise_artifact_concept+art_artist-colon-lauren+faust_origins_what+could+have+been.jpeg Surprise]], an [[WhatCouldHaveBeen early design of Pinkie Pie]] (based on G1 Surprise) with a three-purple-balloons cutie mark and purple eyes.
* AllThereInTheScript: Enterplay's CollectibleCardGame eventually [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/de598f2d6c6adc4527f26d841d333d6e/tumblr_mxg2yrhoxG1rpsdt6o1_1280.jpg gave]] her the same name, after ''The Elements of Harmony'' guidebook listed the name as belonging to a then-unspecified Wonderbolt. She's notably the first Wonderbolt to get a toy, though she's [[NoNameGiven unnamed there]].
* AscendedExtra: She's the first Wonderbolt to get a toy. She's even on the banner at [[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ubB0FzVcX-Q/T_4q4Fu0QEI/AAAAAAAAv2o/uMA9C9ZVKXo/s1600/1.jpg Comic Con]], among main characters and fan favorites with Spitfire & Soarin nowhere in sight!
* DependingOnTheArtist: In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E10SecretOfMyExcess Secret of My Excess]]" (her only Season 2 appearance), she has a noticeably darker mane than in her other appearances (in the show, the ExpandedUniverse, the toy line, and TheMerch).
* {{Expy}}: Surprise was a G1 pony.
* LawyerFriendlyCameo: Hasbro doesn't have trademark rights to the name "Surprise" anymore, so she can never actually be called that in official products (except the trading card game with some fan input). Notably, in her speaking appearance in "Newbie Dash" she's credited only as "Wonderbolt 1," and when she's seen out of uniform briefly in the episode it's from the top half only due to her sitting up in bed, so her cutie mark is unseen.
* SuddenlyVoiced: After five seasons she has a few speaking lines in the 6th season episode "Newbie Dash."
!!Misty Fly

She's also been featured on a couple of pieces of TheMerch; [=80sTees=] [[http://www.80stees.com/products/MLPFIM-Wonderbolts-Shirt.asp has]] [[http://www.80stees.com/products/Wonderbolts-Shirt.asp identified]] her as Fleetfoot, but this appears to be a case of CowboyBebopAtHisComputer.
* AscendedExtra: After being absent for two seasons she not only reappears and is named in "Rarity Investigates!" but gets the most amount of lines after Spitfire and Soarin.
* AllThereInTheManual: [[https://derpibooru.org/888270?scope=scpe338720edf72350b2b944b24cfbfa0d39d9624143 This]] page from the UK comics shows what her eyes look like without her goggles on.
* DemotedToExtra: In the season 1 episode "Sonic Rainboom" she joined Spitfire and Soarin as part of the main Wonderbolt trio judging the Best Young Flier Competition. After that, and for the next few seasons, she was only spotted briefly in the background a few times while Fleetfoot took her "trio" spot, appearing with Spitfire and Soarin several times. However, she finally reappears in the fifth season, and as noted above even has a supporting role.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: Her collector card depicts her as a PaletteSwap of Spitfire.

An enterprising Earth Pony who owns Cherry Hill Ranch, a cherry orchard and processing factory in the town of Dodge Junction. Evidently a fan of rodeos, as this is where she met Applejack.

Daring Do [[AllThereInTheScript Dazzle]] is an archaeologist pegasus with yellow fur and a grayscale mane who is the heroine of the adventurous tale of ''Daring Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Stone'' as well as many other titles, a series of books anypony can enjoy.
Daring Do is actually a real pony, as shown in "Daring Don't". Her adventures actually happened and she recounts them in her novel series under the pen name (or maybe it's the other way around) "A.K. Yearling".
There's also a highly detailed [[JustForFun fictional]] [[JustForFun/DaringDo Daring Do work page]] if you are interested.
* ActionGirl: "Another day, another dungeon."
* AdventurerArchaeologist: Considering [[Franchise/IndianaJones who]] she's an {{Expy}} of, it comes with the territory.
* AdventurerOutfit: Complete with pith helmet.
* AlliterativeName: Daring Do [[AllThereInTheScript Dazzle]].
* AllThereInTheScript: The last part of her name, Dazzle, has only been used in the toyline; specifically, in the Miniature Collection's Daring Pony Story Set.
* BadassAdorable: This is a given considering she's a PaletteSwap of Rainbow Dash.
* BadassBookworm: An archeologist and author that can battle several big cats at once.
* BroughtDownToBadass: In ''Quest for the Sapphire Stone'', she loses her ability to fly and becomes Indiana Jones. Flying and she would be almost too good to work as an adventurer archaeologist.
* CharacterNameAndTheNounPhrase: How the titles of her books work.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Her adventurous lifestyle had made her much tougher than the average pony; she recovers quite fast from most injuries, and when she can't escape a death trap by skill, she can do it by sheer strength and determination.
* {{Determinator}}: Nothing's going to stop her from getting the Sapphire Relic.
* EscapeArtist: She's extremely good at escaping death traps. Even when Rainbow Dash had to help her escape from one, Daring was already half-way out.
* {{Expy}}: Ponydom's answer to Franchise/IndianaJones mixed with a bit of [[Franchise/TombRaider Lara Croft]].
* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: Bush shirt and pith helmet, but that's it.
* HandicappedBadass: In ''Quest for the Sapphire Stone'', her right wing was injured in a crash, rendering her unable to fly.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: [[spoiler:Literally. She's the author of an autobiographical series that happens usually separately from the main show.]]
* IWorkAlone: Her attitude to [[spoiler:Rainbow Dash]] at first, but she warms up in the end.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Daring comes across as aloof, cynical, and distrusting of others, but at the end, she does warm up a bit to [[spoiler:Rainbow Dash]].
* LiteraryAgentHypothesis: [[spoiler:About as explicit as they come. Daring Do writes about her own adventures under a pen name and publishes them as a novel series]].
* MeaningfulName: She is a Doer of Daring Things. Also, probably a pun on derring-do, which she is prone to.
* NiceHat: It even helps her to escape Ahuizotl's trap!
* PaletteSwap: Of Rainbow Dash, down to leaving a greyscale rainbow trail behind her when she flies.
* PenName: Either Daring's pen name is [[spoiler:A.K. Yearling]] or Daring is just her alias.
* RealAfterAll: [[spoiler:Her adventures are actually autobiographical and not a work of fiction]].
* ShoutOut: A. K. Yearling, author of a popular series of novels, sounds suspiciously like [[Creator/JKRowling the author]] of [[HarryPotter another famous series of novels]]...
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: "Daring Do" is the trademarked[[note]](in RealLife, not {{In-Universe}})[[/note]] spelling used on [[http://theponyartcollection.tumblr.com/post/26391734445 her and Mare Do Well's trading card]], the ''Another day, another dungeon'' trading card and on the shirt ''[[http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=1922 Daring Do]]'', but "Daring-Do" is the spelling used on the cover of ''Quest for the Sapphire Stone'' (shown in legible form on her and Mare Do Well's trading card and on the shirt ''[[http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=2722 Daring-Do]] [[http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=2725 Cover]]'').
* ThematicRoguesGallery: Downplayed, but implied; our encounters with her enemies in the series imply a "South American" motif to her usual opponents -- her nemesis is Ahuizotl (an Aztec river monster), her villainous rival is Dr. Caballeron (a name which at least sounds "Spanish", and Spanish is the primary language in South America), and season 6 has an encounter with the Cipactli (another Aztec water monster) who guards a treasure.

The Head of the Equestria Games, who also acts as its official inspector and judge.
* {{Adorkable}}: After the CMC performance in the near end, she practically gushes over of how stupendous it really is in the most fangirlish way possible.
* ArtEvolution: At least within "Flight to the Finish", the animators spent extra time to give her more exaggerated mouth movements to accent her proper enunciation and StuffyBrit mannerisms.
* BeingPersonalIsntProfessional: Her ''raison d'être''; she makes other ponies who work with her follow the same mindset. [[HypocriticalHumor Thankfully, she's not immune to breaking her own rules]].
* ButtMonkey: In "Games Ponies Play", she gets passed over in favor of a stranger who happens to fit the ''very'' vague description of her. Then she gets splashed by a sidewalk puddle ''twice'', while carrying her heavy luggage.
* TheComicallySerious: She's a serious mare, which makes her funny when surrounded by silliness.
* IronLady: She takes her job very, ''very'' seriously. However, the Mane Six, the CMC, and Spike have managed to draw out her more [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold friendly]] or [[NotSoAboveItAll fun-loving]] side on separate occasions.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's stuffy and no-nonsense most of the time, but is also easily moved by how hospitable the Mane Six were to Ms. Peachbottom, and is considerably less stern to Spike during the closing ceremony of the Equestria Games.
* LastNameBasis: She repeatedly addresses other characters by their last names, if they ''have'' [[OnlyOneName last names]] (e.g., Rainbow Dash is "Miss Dash", Spike the Dragon is "Mister [[SpeciesSurname the Dragon]]").
* MeaningfulName: She's a pony, so when she speaks, she technically whinnies. She's also a very grouchy and surly DeadpanSnarker.
* NotSoAboveItAll: In "Flight to the Finish", she tries to keep Rainbow Dash from geeking out over her role as Equestria Games coach, only to do exactly the same when she first sees the [=CMC's=] flag-carrying routine.
