History Characters / ManehattansLoneGuardian

* MysteriousPast: Calico has refused to discuss herself or her race with others; only the fact that she's called a kirin is known, and that only because Mr. Mocha saw fit to include that fact in her personnel file. This helps avoid any discrepancies with her species' debut episode, which would have happened differently if knowledge of her race had been widespread. The readers at least get to see that the incident that led to her village getting torched happened while she was out on one of her trips, and her frustration upon her discovery of it led her to flee the village for good.

* NighInvulnerability: All of the agents except Metallium wear full-body suits of dragon scale mail into battle, theoretically letting them tank incredible amounts of damage. At first, enchanted metal on the chest and neck was required to prevent the wearers from being subject to the laws of physics after being struck, but after Leviathan proves herself quick to exploit this weakness, steps are quickly taken to remove it and grant the wearers the nigh-invulnerability promised.

* BerserkButton: Take her children out of her sight without her permission? Cue the warning sirens.

* WeakToMagic: Or to be accurate, a specific ''type'' of magic. Leviathan has a subsistent weakness to illusions such as heartsongs, which cause trouble for her time and time again.

* BigEater: Considers five hayburgers, three carrot dogs and a pitcher of orange juice to be a ''light'' lunch.

* ElectiveMute: [[spoiler:Calico submits to this fate after her final battle turns sour.]]

* HeelRealization: [[spoiler:Strongly implied. When Fiver demonstrates the likely reason why the authorities were on her case for stealing a refrigerator, Calico vanishes for the rest of the evening and is later heard that night weeping. She sends a reimbursement to the store owners shortly thereafter.]]

* MeaningfulName: Has a tri-color pattern (white coat, cream-ish mane, and gray-blue scales, a.k.a. "diluted") and a case of wanderlust. While meaningful, it also fits the kirins' naming scheme from the source material.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Claims to be a firsthand witness of Celestia and Luna's defeat of Discord, states the latter's fate to be the only thing she will agree with Celestia on, and warns their colleagues to stay away from his statue. They also would prefer not to target civilians unless they're actively getting in the way of their plans.

* IHaveManyNames: They've been many ponies throughout their existence, and as such have used all of the names they've had for the sake of going with the flow. The name they prefer is one that they call themselves, instead of one used by whichever pony's body they've stolen.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: The pony that would eventually call themselves "First Quarter" has been walking the world since before Discord's reign more than a thousand years ago, jumping bodies whenever their current one dies.

* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:After being late to Gilbert's morale-boosting party, Drama shows up in time to interrupt Illudere's illusion and save Leviathan's life.]]

** Omega appears only briefly in a flashback, but his slaughter of Quarter's squadron burned her memory of him into permanence. Because of him, Quarter cannot look at Leviathan without seeing Omega in her place. One of the 2nd Anniversary Chapter's What Ifs shows that without Omega's influence, she would have left Leviathan alone and never accelerated her plans to conquer Equestria.

* YouAreGrounded: Ebony is subject to this by her parents prior to the story's beginning after she steals some cake from one of her friends at a birthday party. When the rest of the family aside from Gray goes out of town to visit a relative, she's left behind. This leads to her being the first to interact with Leviathan directly, which doesn't do her phobia any favors. Later, the incident prompts her to write a letter of apology, which is swiftly accepted and leads to the two fillies resuming their friendship.

A filly and the oldest of Gray's four children. Aspires to be an exterminator.

* AllLovingHero: If they're even halfway decent, they're getting a hug. Bushwhacker notes after meeting him that he radiates love "left, right, and center", so much so that he's able to [[spoiler:keep the changeling fed with nothing but his physical presence.]]

* EmotionlessGirl: Is basically Maud Pie Lite. When she's kidnapped, her behavior in this regard is able to unnerve the culprit. The expression seen in her artwork to the right is all but permanent. [[spoiler:This was done instinctively in response to the asthma she suffered as a toddler, halting any sort of reaction that would shorten her breath.]]

* AnimalMotifs: Cats. She sleeps wherever she wants, even out in broad daylight. She has a tendency to turn up in places where she has no right being, pull unintentional [[JumpScare jump scares,]] and behave generally cat-like in most situations. Her Cutie Mark is even a pair of cat's eyes.

Gray's oldest daughter. Aspires to be an exterminator.

Next in line behind Ebony is this bundle of hyperactivity.

Third up is Energy's unusually quiet younger sister.

The family's youngest. Hasn't yet gained his Cutie Mark.

* CoolOldLady: Went from being a morally-challenged scientist in her youth to a competent daycare owner and babysitter after thirty-four years. Pure Energy remembers her for the delicious sandwiches she made, while Fiver recalls Juniper helping her read a book implied to be above her grade level.[[note]]The book in question is the in-universe version of John Scarne's ''Scarne on Cards'', which would indeed be difficult reading for someone her age.[[/note]]

* BigEater: Considers a half-dozen hayburgers, three carrot dogs and a pitcher of lemonade to be a ''light'' lunch.

* {{Sleepyhead}}: Has a reputation for sleeping out in broad daylight whenever she wants, often resulting in those unacquainted with her to believe she's homeless.

* RetiredBadass: Served as a Royal Police officer during young adulthood, and was trusted enough to serve as a S.M.I.L.E. agent. Celestia describes her to Shining Armor as "an absolute beast" in combat. When given a chance to fight Leviathan on an even playing field, she proves it by being able to give the Reploid the same thrill of a fight that Zero gave her.
