History Characters / MyBravePonyStarfleetMagicSpacePonies

* StrongFamilyResemblance: Has his father's coat and his mother's eyes.

[[/folder]]

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Castor.

* RoseHairedSweetie: Leilani.

*** VIII gives us an especially egregious example; ''[[EpicFail they literally freed the Big Bad'' '''''within minutes of promising that they would keep him contained]]'''''. Not helping their case was the fact that the Big Bad's previous captors, the Ainzulians, successfully contained him for ''10,000 years''. Why the Ainzulians, or anyone else for that matter, trust Starfleet after that is utterly mind boggling.

* InformedAbility: It's been stated that he makes great poetry and is a MasterSwordsman (he even wields a sword, as seen on his character image). The few works we see, however, are too simple and generic to be called "great" and his only sword move is a special attack.

* InformedAttribute: He's supposedly a great artist, but we haven't been told why his artwork is so great beyond "He made a statue".

** In the seventeenth episode of the ninth season, they learn that, when settling disputes, Vistulans compete in a series of games and competitions, with losers getting banished and shunned. They consider this requirement of settling disputes to be a stupid law, even before finding out what happens to the losers. However, in the third episode of the same season, Applejack and an Earth Pony named Apple Spice find out they're engaged to be married by a certain time and the contract cannot be changed at all. They must get married, even though they don't want to and Applejack's parents, the ones who arranged the marriage, changed their minds or they will be penalized according to the law.

* {{Jerkass}}: At the very least, he's a huge ControlFreak, to the point where defying his orders regardless of circumstances is a ''major'' BerserkButton. [[ManipulativeBastard There's also that one time he guilt tripped Twilight into thinking a family got hurt because of her]], and when he refused to stop Raven even when his forces outnumbered her, he had her trapped, and his wife's life was on the line, only to have the gall to be surprised at Twilight for trying and dying, which could've been avoided if he had had captured Raven when he had had the perfect chance to.[[note]][[SkewedPriorities In addition, when Twilight did try to pursue Raven, the way his anger was worded made it seem that he was initially more angry about Twilight disobeying orders than about her being in danger]], and even though the narration tried to assure the reader it was just his anger talking, that still implied that, [[LawfulStupid as far as he cared, disobeying his orders was more important than a friend's well-being]].[[/note]]

* {{Expy}}: He is basically a male version of Twilight Sparkle, [[FlatCharacter only without her personality]] and what makes her likable.

** A similar case applies to their intelligence, for all their claims about being superior in intelligence to other species, they sure don't show it. They tend to fall for basic traps, typically rely exclusively on brute force (or a DeusExMachina) in a fight, and lack pretty basic tools for a supposedly advanced society (such as phones).

* BlindObedience: Most of the time, they wouldn't dream of going against Starfleet, much less question Grand Ruler's orders. This is also expected of the other residents under Starfleet jurisdiction. When Ace Ray, Brass Bolt, and Windy Bag all criticized Starfleet on separate occasions, the Space Ponies were quick to condemn them. When Twilight went off on her own to stop Raven, GR told the Space Ponies to stay back even though both Twilight and Celestia would be in danger. When Starla was kidnapped at her wedding just episodes later, Starfleet doesn't go after her until GR gave the green light.

* {{Idiot Hero}}es: Just look at the WhatAnIdiot page.

%%* SeeminglyProfoundFool: For all their claims about being superior in intelligence to other species, they sure don't show it.

[[folder:Galaxia Shine]]
Starla Shine's mother.

* FlatCharacter: She's the mother of Starla Shine, and that is the full extent of her character.

%%* CainAndAbel: The Abel to his younger brother's Cain.
* FlatCharacter: He's Dyno and Myte's father, the president of El Mundo, and that's it.

!Space Ponies
[[folder:Space Ponies in General]]

** When a hero is [[SoleSurvivor the last member of a dying race]], nearly everyone around them feels sorry for them (see all the times Lightning being the last living Harmonian is wheeled out for cheap sympathy points. When a villain is the last member of a dying race, Starfleet will kill them (or possibly send them to one of their {{Hellhole Prison}}s [[FateWorseThanDeath where they must serve multiple life sentences]]), thus rendering said villain's species extinct with Starfleet feeling absolutely no remorse.

** In spite of the Space Ponies' supposed superior strength and speed, said to be able to withstand a kick from Applejack and move faster than Rainbow Dash at her best [[ArtisticLicensePhysics while walking]], they actually had trouble incapacitating Diamond Dogs, which Rarity, [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E19ADogAndPonyShow in FiM canon]], was able to bend to her beck and call, and the other Mane 5 were easily able to handle. It's like [[Film/ReturnOfTheJedi the Ewoks thwarting the Empire]] by comparison. And the kicker? The Diamond Dogs aren't stated to have gotten stronger, not through training or anything. The only explanation for this (according to WordOfGod) is that "[[VoodooShark they had strong armor]]".

* ParentalSubstitute: For Lightning. Not that [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot their relationship has any significance on the overall plot]].

* [[invoked]] PaletteSwap: She is, according to recent videos, just a Rarity clone, but not "[[WordOfGod as shallow as the original]]". He has tried to cover this up by... slightly darkening her coat, which he feels "ruins the design".

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He doesn't play any role in the sequels. According to WordOfGod that`s because he had no idea how to use him anymore.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: She doesn't play any role in the sequels. According to WordOfGod that`s because he had no idea how to use her anymore.

* {{Expy}}: Often mistaken as one for Nurse Redheart, WordOfGod is that Penny's actually based on the veterinarian from "Secret of my Excess."

* RichBitch: Both of them, to the point where Artie and his maternal grandpa disowned them
Jerkass: Of course
Parental Neglect: They were never there to support Artie in his childhood
Control Freak: Tried to mold Artie to be like them. Obviously, it didn't work
Ungrateful Bastard: Their response to Artie saving them when he was young was to yell at him for attempting to bribe the ransomers into freeing them
Greed: Their primary trait
Flat Characters: Their greedy, pompous, terrible parents, and that's it

[[folder:Galaxia Shine]]
Starla Shine's mother.

* FlatCharacter: She's the mother of Starla Shine, and that is the full extent of her character.

[[folder:Shining Light]]
The child of Lightning Dawn and Starla Shine. Introduced in ''Season VII''.

* FlatCharacter: He pretty much exists solely to give Starla and Lightning the BabiesEverAfter treatment, and what he's like as a character is not explored. To be fair, newborns don't usually exhibit much personality.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Has blond hair, and is as innocent as an infant can get.
* InnocentBlueEyes: Gets them from his mother.
* LightIsGood: Is white with golden hair, has a light themed name, and, as far as we see, he's a more or less innocent baby.
* MeaningfulName: He's the child of '''Lightning''' Dawn and Starla '''Shine'''.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Sports his parents' white coats, and blue eyes like Starla.

[[folder:Button Fly]]
The child of Rhymey and Fluttershy. Introduced in ''Season VIII''.

* FlatCharacter: He pretty much exists solely to give Rhymey and Fluttershy the BabiesEverAfter treatment, and what he's like as a character is not explored. To be fair, newborns don't usually exhibit much personality.
* MeaningfulName: {{Averted|Trope}} in favor of [[RhymesOnADime rhyming with Fluttershy's name]]. [[SarcasmMode Thanks, Rhymey.]]
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Has his parents' yellow coats, and Rhymey's green eyes.
* UnfortunateNames: A [[DownplayedTrope downplayed example]]; his name sounds less like a typical pony name and more like a [[IncrediblyLamePun terrible pun]] associated with pants.

* FlyingBrick: They're [[InformedAttribute supposedly]] inhumanly [[SuperSpeed fast]], [[SuperToughness durable]], and [[SuperStrength strong]], both on the ground and in the air. In practice, they're only those things when [[StrongAsTheyNeedToBe the plot requires it]].

* ViolenceIsTheOnlyOption: They have the belief that evil can't be reasoned with, leaving them with no alternative to beating the evildoers up and then imprisoning/destroying them. In the past, they apparently tried negotiating with enemies before resorting to violence but failed miserably, and as a result, they changed their policy to skip straight to that second part.

* PlayingWithFire: They use fire-based attacks.
