History Characters / Lopoddity

Princess Skyla, Princess Cadence and Shining Armor’s Pegasus daughter, is a stressed-out perfectionist (she got a particularly heavy dose of the Sparkle family’s issues with neurosis), obsessed with keeping up a properly regal and put-together image of herself. She is devoted to the Crystal Empire and her subjects, a major workaholic, and gets nowhere near as much sleep as she should. She desperately wants to be an Alicorn, and doesn’t get why Celestia won’t make her one. [[HiddenDepths She also has some well-hidden emotional issues]], and does not appear to be a particularly happy pony. She’s pen pals with Prince Artemis, friends with Magnolia May, and has a crush on one of Pandora's friends (revealed to be [[spoiler: Peachy Keen.]])

* HappilyMarried: To Johnny Appleseed.
* MissingMom: Heavily implied to be deceased.
* SpiritedYoungLady: In her youth.

* SpiritedYoungLady: Very much so, with Rarity's class and Applejack's forthrightness.

* VitrioicBestBuds: He and his former mentor ''[[https://www.deviantart.com/lopoddity/art/Love-Dat-Zesty-748850033 Zesty Gourmand]]'' are very much this. Per [[WordOfGod Word Of Lop]]:

* HasTwoMommies: One biological in Sapphire while the other adopted in Coloratura. She does have a biological father (via sperm donor) but has no interest in meeting him, at least initially. Ironically enough, she does meet Turnip back when she was a filly.
** She would eventually meet up with Hayseed Turnip down the line. He is very happy to meet her and instantly accepts her into the family. This extends to his wife, Ms. Peachbottom, who more or less becomes her third mom.

* FriendToAllChildren: She adores spending time with children and also does her best to not swear around them.

* HasTwoMommies: One biological in Sapphire while the other adopted in Coloratura. She does have a biological father (via sperm donor) but has no interest in meeting him, at least initially. Ironically enough, she does meet Turnip back when she was a filly, playfully commenting on his large teeth (something that she would end up inheriting down the line.)
** She also ends up meeting her biological dad, Hayseed Turnip, down the line and he is quite happy to see her to say the least, recognizing her as his. This extends to his wife, Ms. Peachbottom, who more or less becomes her third mom.

* ItRunsInTheFamily: Apparently, fishing is a family tradition, which is why he insists on remaining one despite it not paying well and presumably why he tries to get his son(s) into it.

** Despite disliking his son for being a runt, he still cared for him and began panicking when Bruce began getting seriously ill as a colt.
* TookALevelInJerkass: While he was an unpleasant pony, Butch's death turned him into an embittered stallion to say the least. In an alternate scenario where Butch lived, he isn't as bad, but still a large jerk.

** In fact, the extent of her neglect is evident when seen in the AU where Butch lived and Bruce is noticeably larger and healthier-looking, presumably because he was fed.

* HighSchoolSweethearts: Surprisingly enough, he was this back when he was with Fey Ocean. He did genuinely love and care about her. Unfortunately, she didn't exactly feel the same way, which was one of the reasons their marriage fell apart.

** And it turns out he would have done this even if Butch had lived; he wouldn't have been as malicious about it but he still would have preferred Butch.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: She's out of her wretched marriage when Cutthroat ends up dying and finally gets to patch things up with Bruce after everything that happened. Furthermore, she gets along greatly with Aerostorm and becomes a doting grandmother to her granddaughter.

* InLoveWithLove: Her FatalFlaw and why she got with Cutthroat. She loved the idea of being in love, but wasn't in love with Cutthroat, while he was very much with her. This explains a bit of why their relationship fell apart.

* ThrowTheDogABone: After dealing with an abusive husband, the death of her oldest son and estrangement from her youngest, Fey finally gets a happy ending with Nautilus and is a doting grandmother to Wave Rider.

* BigBrotherBully/CoolBigBro: Loppodity provided an alternate scenario where Butch lived; he is a somewhat decent older brother to Bruce who just lacks understanding of Bruce's tender side. While he does care about Bruce and gives him advice, he takes a lot after his dad and so is a traditionally very masculine stallion while not understanding why his younger brother would feel guilty about their fishing practices. He does mean well, but his attempts at helping Bruce... aren't always the best.

* AnimalMotif: Sharks. His cutie mark is a shark jaw, he got the scar on his cheek in a fight with a shark, he's as a marine biologist and often works with sharks, and his full name is [[Franchise/{{Jaws}} Bruce]] Charcharodon, as in the scientific name of the genus to which great white sharks belong.

* AwesomeMcCoolName: His full name, [[Franchise/{{Jaws}} Bruce]] Charcharodon. It practically ''screams'' "badass shark".

* ComicBookFantasyCasting: According to [[http://lopoddity.deviantart.com/art/Voice-Actor-Meme-Pandoraverse-677302028 this post here]], Jam would sound like Harley Quinn (voiced by Creator/ArleenSorkin) while PB would be voiced by Jack McBrayer (the voice of Wander from WanderOverYonder.)

** She also ends up meeting her biological dad, hayseed Turnip, down the line and he is quite happy to see her to say the least, recognizing her as his. This extends to his wife, Ms. Peachbottom, who more or less becomes her third mom.

* NiceGal: Yes she may be sassy and a tease, she is actually a very nice mare.

* PetTheDog: Lopoddity mentioned he has technically met his granddaughter Wave Rider once, when she accidentally ran into him in the market when she snuck away from Bruce. Despite disapproving both of Bruce turning into a mare temporarily to conceive her and getting together with Stormy, Cutthroat still protected Wave from the thieves around them and lead her to safety.

* BiTheWay: Her feelings for Rosemary do indeed turn from platonic to romantic and her first relationship was Pandora. [[https://lopoddity.deviantart.com/art/Love-and-War-684722042 That said, she gets a lot of sexual tension with Zipperflash and ultimately ends up in a polyamorous relationship.]]

* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Arguably this trope is deconstructed in her relationship with Aerostorm, with Phoenix mocking him over his sensitive nature, puppy crush on Chakra Blossom and commenting that Aerostorm is more like a daughter than a son to Rainbow Dash. Though Phoenix is unaware of just how hurtful her remarks are, this strikes a nerve with Aerostorm and though they do get along better as adults, he still has issues towards his sister.

* FantasticRacism: She often found herself on the receiving end of this, from when she would be ostracized by other foals on the playground for her different appearance and powers to when pony society made it very clear that no matter how hard she worked, they never had any intention of accepting her as a princess. It's one of the main reasons she chose to leave her duties and embrace her father's chaos.

** Deconstructed since it made her a bit feared in town. [[https://www.deviantart.com/art/Making-New-Friends-734434981 Her pranks could have serious repercussions and she didn't know better as a child.]]

* CreepyChild: Downplayed. While she really wasn't that creepy, she was definitely [[https://www.deviantart.com/art/Making-New-Friends-734434981 perceived as such by the denizens of Ponyville.]] [[WordOfGod According to Lopoddity,]] this is because it didn't make sense for Pandora to be ostracized or bullied for her appearance given how Ponykind has been accepted of many odd-looking individuals. Instead, they're ''scared'' of her for being a very powerful child with a natural mischievous streak.

* HasTwoMommies: One biological in Sapphire while the other adopted in Coloratura. She does have a biological father (via sperm donor) but has no interesting in meeting him. Ironically enough, she does meet Turnip back when she was a filly, playfully commenting on his large teeth (something that she would end up inheriting down the line.)
** She also ends up meeting her biological dad down the line and he is quite happy to see her to say the least.

* UnevenHybrid: Apparently, the father possessed mild amounts of donkey lineage that he passed to his daughter. While she's not a mule (and presumably the father isn't either), Zee does possess some donkey traits as a result such as her notably long ears. Her slight buck teeth (reminiscent of Timmy Turner's) is another thing that could be attributed.

Fleur-de-Lis and Fancy Pants are a HappilyMarried couple in the Pandoraverse. At the time of Vogue's conception, Fleur revealed to Fancy Pants she had an affair with [[spoiler: Prince Blueblood]]. Despite this, the couple worked things out and Fancy Pants raised Vogue as his own daughter.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Though he was mostly saying it to drive a wedge between Aerostorm and Rosemary [[ItAmusedMe because he could]], he does have a point when he says that Rosie doesn't trust Aerostorm's judgment and thinks of him as a sweet, naïve idiot she needs to protect. Rosie isn't ''wrong'' for thinking this, but [[BerserkButton Stormy is clearly hurt that his best friend also thinks of him as stupid, even if it's with the best intentions.]]

* {{Irony}}: Wave is Bruce's daughter and Oddball is Pandora's son. While their parents were at one another's throats, they're besties. Granted, Aerostorm is a close friend of Pandora's and Cupcake seems civil enough toward Bruce (they even marry in an AlternateTimeline, so it evens out.

** Has been shown to misinterpret romantic cues such as Truffles blushing when he takes off his shirt and Finn blatantly flirting with him goes over his head until Finn bluntly requests a kiss.

* BelligerentSexualTension: Had some with ''Magnolia Mat''... [[https://lopoddity.deviantart.com/art/Love-and-War-684722042 back when they were dating Rosemary at the same time.]] Lampshaded by Rosemary who found it utterly hilarious... especially when they deny it.

A hippogriff (as in pony and griffin hybrid) who was close friends with Luna and ended up fathering Artemis. Unfortunately, he suddenly fell ill and ended up dying before they were born. From what has been revealed, he is a sorcerer. As revealed by Artemis' full name, he is from House Ravenwing.

* TheOwlKnowingOne: Despite being half-griffin (and therefore, quarter eagle), he actually looks quite owl-like. It certainly fits his career as a sorcerer while also giving a greater connection to his friend/lover, Princess Luna.

** Then there's how they announced they were with special someponies with Jam...
