History Characters / Quiververse

* MaliciousMisnaming: Practiced this regularly against her targets.

* StrongAndSkilled: Unfortunately for the victims of her mistreatment, she is this, as despite not having been accepted into Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, private tutors were able to teach her magic more than well enough to compensate. The only silver lining to that is her still clearly being at a unicorn's level, as seen when [[spoiler: Twilight Sparkle swiftly [[Depower depowers her]]]].

* SupernaturalProofFather: A rather extreme example as he angrily dismisses things such as Nightmare Moon, Sonic Rainbooms and Windigoes as "horseshit", despite the first two being confirmed as real.

Two individuals who came from the sea and are natives of Coltlantis. [[They intervened in the Pillars' battle against Basso Profundo on the side of the Pillars.]]

* WouldHurtAChild: Very much so. Besides doing it by proxy when she [[spoiler: orders her posse to brutally harm the colts and fillies alongside the adults in ''Many Happy Reunions'', not to mention when she orders Brick Wall to kill Spike]], she also does it herself when she restrains [[Diamond Tiara with her magic]].

* SchoolyardBullyAllGrownUp: Terrorized Quiver and Sunrunner both because she could and because she enjoyed it all the way into adulthood.

* StupidEvil: Acts this way mostly because she's been able to get away with it for so long. Naturally, it eventually comes around to bite her in the flank.

* TheBrute: Serves as muscle to Primrose Thorn.

The Deputy-Chancellor of the Equestrian Education Association. [[spoiler: Also a high-ranked operative of SMILE.]]

* MeaningfulName: Is the Deputy-Chancellor of the Equestria Education Assosciation, named after an idiom reflecting someone out of touch with the wide world.

A unicorn stallion. [[spoiler: Also a high-ranked operative of SMILE based in Canterlot who works with Ivory Tower.]]

!Mane Family Members

[[folder: Bitterhoof]]

->'''Debut:''' New Horizon

An Earth pony stallion and Quiver Quill's father.

* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Lost his youngest of two sons in a tragic accident. He did not take it well.

[[folder: Regal Grace]]

* PosthumousCharacter: Died years before the main events of the series.

[[folder: Solar Flare]]

->'''Debut:''' Six Nights (And A Day) With Sunset

A pegasus mare, mother to Sunrunner and aunt to Sunset Shimmer. She becomes one of Sunset's legal guardians after the deaths of Sunset's parents.

* FieryRedhead: A downplayed case, but she shows shades of being one, as she openly conveys her disapproval of the segregation in schools imposed by the EEA, is not shy about showing how incensed she is at Principal Fairweather after he dismisses Primrose's bullying of Sunrunner, and demands Celestia give her a concrete explanation about Sunset's whereabouts when she goes missing.
* GoodParents: Clearly loves and cares for Sunrunner, and was supportive of Sunset after taking her in.

!Miscellaneous Original Characters

[[folder: Gilded Lily]]

->'''Debut:''' New Horizon

An Earth pony mare and Quiver Quill's landlady. She handles a great deal of real estate in Ponyville, and is Scootaloo's primary caregiver.

----
* CoolAunt: Tries her best to be this for Scootaloo.
* ParentalNeglect: A downplayed example; she works to provide a good life for her niece, and regrets not spending more time with her.
* ParentalSubstitute: Serves as the primary caregiver for her niece, Scootaloo.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: When presented with evidence of Luster Drain's schemes, she swiftly acts to shut them down. She even allows Quiver to continue living in his new home (as his rent had already been paid), and later helps him to find a more suitable housemate.

[[folder: Legalhawke]]

->'''Debut:''' Scars of the Quill

An earth pony mare. She's Ponyville's district attorney, and Flash Sentry's and Pop Fly's mother.

* CanonImmigrant: Of a sort. She's the creation of another author and used with their permission.
* ConflictingLoyalty: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] in ''Many Happy Reunions'', where she declines to take the case against Primrose Thorn and her party, fearing it could be dismissed [[spoiler: due to one of the accused being her abusive first husband's niece]].
* DomesticAbuse: Suffered this from her first husband, Smooth Rock. Still limps because of a beating he gave her.
* GoodParents: Is a good mother to both her sons.
* HappilyMarried: To her second husband, Curt Marshall.
* MistakenForCheating: Very much PlayedForDrama. Her first husband, Smooth Rock, beat her regularly, but a beating of notice happened [[spoiler: after she gave birth to Flash Sentry, who was born a pegasus. Rather than consider that either he or his wife (both of them earth ponies) could have a pegasus in their respective family trees, Smooth Rock jumped to the conclusion Legalhawke had cheated on him]].
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: While she is firm when explaining to Diamond Tiara why it's important to tell her the truth about [[spoiler: how Spoiled Rich treats her and to clear up the MaliciousSlander Spoiled Rich initiated towards Quiver, she also is gentle in doing so. And when Spoiled Rich starts running her mouth while being arrested, Legalhawke still maintains a grip on her temper and doesn't abuse her power to get her to stop, only issuing a threat once Spoiled Rich starts going too far]].

[[folder: Allegra Soprana and Mezzo Spinto]]

-> '''Debut:''' Legends of Magic (flashback)

Two individuals who came from the sea and are natives of Coltlantis. [[They intervened in the Pillars' battle against Basso Profundo on the side of the Pillars.]]

* ChurchMilitant: Claim that they were charged with protecting their home by their holy rulers.
* GoodIsNotNice: Mezzo might be a good guy, but his attitude leaves much to be desired.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Were forbidden from pursuing Basso Profundo, but did so regardless to stop him from hurting anyone living on land.
* WomenAreWiser: Allegra is decidedly more polite than Mezzo.

!Members of the Royal Guard

[[folder: Pixie Dust]]

A thestral mare. She's an officer in the Royal Guard with the rank of First Lieutenant.

* ComicBookFantasyCasting: WordOfGod casts Creator/VenusTerzo as her voice.
* InnocentBlueEyes: Her eyes are stated to be Robin's Egg Blue, indicative of her playful nature.
* NonIndicativeName: With a name like Pixie Dust, you'd think she was a unicorn. Instead, she's a thestral (a pony with bat-like traits).
* PerkyGoth: A thestral with an energetic, friendly nature.

[[folder: Silver Bullet]]

->'''Debut:''' The Last of the Elements

A pegasus stallion. He's an officer in the Royal Guard with the rank of First Lieutenant.

* CanonImmigrant: Of a sort. Like Legalhawke above, he's the creation of another author and used with their permission.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Of a different sort compared to those of other characters, but he still has it. He was born in a remote village too small to even be on the map, and the sheriff and deputy who served as its only law enforcement couldn't defend it from a raid it suffered. And even when the miraculous rescue that the village prayed for arrived, one of the invaders seized Silver Bullet's mother with clear intentions of doing something unspecified but clearly conveyed as horrible to her. To the relief of all but the invader, [[spoiler:[[BigDamnHeroes Celestia]] stopped him]].
* IronicNickname: Doesn't smile or laugh much, and in fact was never seen doing either during his time at the Academy. The other recruits nicknamed him "Chuckles".
* TheStoic: Is shown to be the silent and serious type more than once.
* StrongAndSkilled: Built in a similar manner to Big Mac, but with actual combat training. When he gets into a fight with another stallion of similar build with equal strength but no combat training and plenty of arrogance, the other guy goes down hard.

* ChurchMilitants: Claim that they were charged with protecting their home by their holy rulers.

->'''Debut:''' Legends of Magic

[[/folder]]

* NamesTheSame: Shares her name with a character who appeared in an issue of the comics, but is in no way related to her.

* UnskilledButStrong: A deconstruted case. When he's up against Quiver Quill, who is only of average constitution and doesn't have combat training, the sheer difference in their builds puts him at an advantage. Against Silver Bullet, however, who's as well-built as he is but [[StrongAndSkilled trained in combat]], Brick Wall fares considerably less well.

A pegasus stallion. He's an officer in the Royal Guard with the rank of First Lieutenant.

* CanonImmigrant: Of a sort. He's the creation of another author and used with their permission.

* DumbMuscle: Is a very big and brawny stallion, but seems to have his dumb spots, [[spoiler: considering he tries to kill Spike in front of Twilight, not to mention Princess Celestia to boot, despite having figured out by himself how unwise it would be]].

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Proves to be incapable of understanding why a pony of the same race would not share his prejudices when Silver Bullet stands up to him and defies his direct orders.

A unicorn stallion who's a colleague of Ivory Tower.

* KnightTemplar: Is willing to go to literally criminal lengths to ensure his goal of "maintaining Harmony".
