* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler:[[EatenAlive Eating Makarov alive]] and [[RetGone erasing him from existence.]]]]
** [[spoiler:Booting the Incubators out of the universe and deleting the Master also qualifies.]]

* WomenAreWiser: Probably the only one of Misfit Actual who isn't a CloudCuckooLander.

* CoolGun: Has one given to him by Mother Deer. It can [[EnergyWeapon shoot lasers]] and [[SwissArmyWeapon can turn into a]] CoolSword.

* SwissArmyWeapon: His CoolGun can be turned into a CoolSword.

* InterserviceRivalry: Shows up when Twilight spots some Guards on an airship while camping with him when she was a filly. When asked if they should wave or salute, his reply is they should {{mooning}} them.

Captain of Princess Cadence's bodyguard retinue, a [[OfficerAndAGentleman gentlemanly soldier]], Twilight Sparkle's BBBFF, and dorky at times but [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking serious when he has to be]], Shining Armor is of course, the protagonist of the arc. These events are occurring as his relationship with Cadence that eventually leads to marriage truly begin...

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: As shown in his fight with the Hooviets, he's a very able soldier.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Leads the Air Naval Cavalry component of Cadence's guard, and as shown during the fight with Makarov in Liberty City, is probably one of the best fighters in said guard.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: While we haven't seen much fighting from him, he's the leader of the Rebels (though second to [[BigGood Mother Deer]], he seems to call the shots when it comes to fighting), Mother Deer entrusted him with a supernatural weapon and given how the SA Arc typically treats this trope...

** Garnet and Fluttershy are TheChick of their respective groups.

* TheChick

* NamesTheSame: Has the same first name as Sunset Shimmer, Princess Celestia's former student. This is actually brought up a few times when talking about her [[spoiler: after her death.]] It doesn't help that we don't know this Sunset's last name and probably never will.

* NamesTheSame: There's also a general in the Columbian military named Shepard. Shining is grateful there are enough differences to tell them apart without confusion.

* CoolPet: She has a dog named "Chitzkoi". He's her spotter as a sniper.

* ATeamFiring:

* FiveManBand:
** MissionControl: Cadence.
** TheLeader: Shining.
** TheLancer: Thunderchild.
** TheSmartGuy: Audience.
** TheBigGuy: Ellis.
** KidAppealCharacter: Gag.
** TheChick: Garnet, who was also the SixthRanger.

* SkunkStripe: Just like in the show. It kind of bit him in the flank when [[NoodleIncident somepony played a prank on him by dying his mane and tail like a skunk]] as a prank.

* {{Asexuality}}: At one point, Makarov tries to insult him and Shining by accusing them of HoYay. Dima replies that in truth, he feels no desire for anyone of any gender.

* ShutUpHannibal: Blows off [[spoiler:Nightmare Nhilis]] taunts about being an expendable one-off character. Turns out being raised in Giffonstone gave her a [[OutsideContextMagic very different outlook on life]] which was the perfect counter to her {{breaking speech}}es.

* {{Seer}}: All his speech of the use of leylines seems to imply this. He also [[spoiler:claims to know more about the Wolf. Oh, and he's a ghost....]]
