History Characters / PonyPOVSeriesTheTiaraFamilyAndFriends

** [[spoiler:It's hinted it may be InTheBlood, though [[MindRape Discord isn't helping one bit.]]]]

--> '''Diamond Tiara''': [[spoiler:I was MADE to be this, there is no escaping reality: a little monster is all I ever was, and the greatest thing I could hope to grow up into, is a bigger monster.]]

* [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas Even Bad Fillies Love Their Parents]]:

* [[FromNobodyToNightmare From Nopony to Nightmare]]: [[spoiler:Goes from a child bully to TheDragon of ''Discord''! In fact, she ultimately usurps him as the final main villain.]]

* JediMindTrick: Her style of mind control. [[spoiler:As such it's limited in its effectiveness against people who know better than to believe what she's saying.]]

* InverseLawOfUtilityAndLethality: [[spoiler:Once Diamond Tiara becomes a nightmare, with sincerely disturbing powers like Can't Sense Their Energy combined with Decaying Touch and her innate talent at mind games... and yet she is eternally frustrated at running into characters these don't work on.]]

* MindRape: [[spoiler:As a Nightmare, she can do this now. She does this to Silver Spoon in "Character Rerailment" in an attempt to convince her her only purpose in existence is being a monster. She can also force despair on others, but the memory spell can counter it, her own tiara held by Silver can block it, and Celestia [[NoSell shrugs it off]] because while she's effected, she's been through a thousand years of despair already and thus can endure it.]]

* {{Reincarnation}}: [[spoiler:Is revealed to be the {{Reincarnation}} of G3 Glitterbelle, who in turn was the {{Reincarnation}} of G2 Diamond Glow. This ironically means she and Apple Bloom were ''sisters'' in a past life.]]

* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:After being purified and returned to normal, she becomes this, very aware of what she did and after being helped through does want to be a better person.]]
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: [[spoiler:Ultimately her choice when Discord breaks her, embracing her status as a jerk villain and deciding to be a 'bigger monster'.]]
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:She became Discord's host after freeing him (which involved shattering and killing him so he could BodySurf), the two SharingABody.]]
* [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior Troubling Unfillylike Behavior]]: She had some disturbing behavior for a child [[spoiler:after her mother went insane. Discord's manipulations of her make it considerably worse.]]

* WalkingSpoiler: I mean, look at how much of these examples are spoilered out!!!!

* AxCrazy: [[spoiler: When she had her jewelry rearranged on accident by her daughter, she goes utterly nuts to ''put it lightly'' and tries to strangle her to death in a utterly maniacal UnstoppableRage. In the revised time line, she 'only' tried to beat her up.]]

* ControlFreak: [[spoiler:When she first went insane, she was this, to the point of harming her daughter for messing with her jewelry. She's decidedly ''not'' proud of it.]]

* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Can happen due to her high pain tolerance.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:After Discord restores her sanity, she remembers she tried to kill Diamond and has a rather nasty one of these, including saying this practically word for word. Still feels this in the new timeline, even though Applebloom altered history so she 'only' tried to beat her up. Thankfully, this has a positive outcome as it helps her fully understand her daughter's pain after being defeated and purified from being Nhilus.]]
--> "[[OhMyGods Dear Cadence]], ''what did I do''?! WHAT DID I DO?! If [[EmbarrassingFirstName Filthy]] hadn't [[PapaWolf stopped me]]…WHAT WOULD I HAVE [[OffingTheOffspring DONE]] ''TO MY BABY''?!"
* TheOphelia: Never has an Ophelia been so badass.

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Feels a huge amount of obligation to Golden Tiara for hiring her when she had no place to go. [[spoiler:This is what causes her the aforementioned sex by proxy ploy, and also why she secretly escorts Golden's daughter to visit her mother in the asylum.]]

* [[FantasticRacism Fantastic Racist]]: No longer as of "Mind Games Pt. 2", according to her husband Silver Tongue. [[spoiler:Possibly never at all thanks to Applebloom.]]

* IveComeTooFar: [[spoiler:Is convinced she's done too much evil to be forgiven by this point.]]

* SuccessThroughInsanity: [[spoiler:Her insanity is part of how she escapes the asylum and makes it to Canterlot.]]

* {{Determinator}}: [[spoiler:Despite her nihilistic worldview, she shows traits of this as a Nightmare. Particularly when she [[EvilVsEvil fought Gaea Everfree]], who outclassed her by a good margin. Ironically, this determination is ultimately geared towards getting herself killed come the FinalBattle.]]]

* BadassGrandpa: Sort of. How old he is isn't clear, but he's older than Cadence and Shining (and in fact [[spoiler:reported Cadence's birth to Celestia]]), but when forced to come out of retirement during the Wedding, he's still more than capable of kicking flank.

* PsychicLink: [[spoiler:The events of the Day of Chaos granted Diamond and Sweetie Belle an empathic link with each other that both eventually become aware of. Discord uses this to make the Bearers hesitant to use the Elements on the duo in fear of what would happen to Sweetie, of course they have ''other'' ways to use them now.]]

* [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior Troubling Unfillylike Behavior]]: She had some disturbing behavior for a child [[spoiler:after her mother went insane. Discord's manipulations of her make it considerably worse.]]

* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:She's still ''very'' guilty from her time as a madpony, to the point of refusing to answer to "Golden Tiara".]]

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:After Discord restores her sanity, she remembers she tried to kill Diamond and has a rather nasty one of these, including saying this practically word for word. Still feels this in the new timeline, even though Applebloom altered history so she 'only' tried to beat her up.]]

* DragonAscendant: [[spoiler:When Discord's will to fight in the final battle against the heroes becomes lost, Diamond takes his place in the battle. Further made clear when she ''absorbs'' the orphaned spirits of Dark Magic to become Night''mare'', fully planning to force the heroes to either kill her and presumbaly destroy the Dark magic that makes Nightmares, or let her take over.]]

* HeelRealization: Which [[IgnoredEpiphany hasn't taken]]. [[spoiler:And is actually making things worse.]]

* LogicalWeakness: [[spoiler:While not completely immune, her depression inducing power doesn't hinder Princess Celestia all that much, as Celestia has endured heartbreak and pain on a gigantic scale for over a thousand years.]]

* PapaWolf: He's genuinely protective of his daughter. [[spoiler:So much so that when his now insane wife tried to strangle Diamond, Onyx tackled Screwball so hard she went straight through a coach and embedded in the bookshelf behind it. Even in the revised timeline where Golden didn't try to ''kill'' her, only ''hurt'' her, he still came to her defense.]]

* DeadmanSwitch: [[spoiler:Inverted: she puts one on herself designed to only ''not'' go off if she's killed. Subverted in it's a fake to try and force them to kill her, and the Spirits of Dark Magic expose it as such.]]

* StrawNihilist: Repeatedly says everything, especially choice, is pointless.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: [[spoiler:She can't understand why Silver ''still'' cares about her despite her HeelFaceTurn and the monster she's become.]]

* ItsAllAboutMe: As she puts it herself, "Mom always said I was special. So that means everypony else can't be special. After all, they weren't me, what did I care if they hurt?"

* BodyHorror: Was turned into the body of a baby foal with the face of an elderly mare by Discord on the day of chaos.

* StepfordSmiler: Has some bad issues despite how she acts.

* JediMindTrick: Her style of mind control.

* {{Determinator}}: [[spoiler:Despite her nihilistic worldview, she shows traits of this as a Nightmare. Particularly when she [[EvilVsEvil fought Gaea Everfree]], who outclassed her by a good margin.]]]

* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:Says to the CMC that if she got a do-over, she'd have done this instead of just being a bully. Given her general motivation, it's not entirely clear if that's a bluff or not.]]

* MindRape: [[spoiler:As a Nightmare, she can do this now. She does this to Silver Spoon in "Character Rerailment" in an attempt to convince her her only purpose in existence is being a monster.]]

* MotiveDecay: Justified: [[spoiler:her initial goal was to save her mother, which she succeeded at...but by then had been manipulated into turning into an insane Nightmare and more or less just went along with Discord's plans at that point. She develops a desire to drive away the Shadows Who Are in order to give her world true freedom. The failure of her plans clearly doesn't do her mental state any favors, and ultimately leaves her dangerously suicidal.]]
