A female earth pony, and a celebrity activist for earth pony rights. Though initially portrayed as sympathetic to her tribe's plight, things are actually not what they seem.
----
* DisproportionateRetribution: She cuts off Bundt's microphone the moment she announces Twilight's presence on air, and then fires her as her assistant.

* {{Hypocrite}}: She, as an earth pony, claims to sympathize with the problems her tribe faces at large, but as Twilight deduces, she's actually a very sheltered mare who rode to the top on the backs of many ponies and chooses to remain ignorant, using prestige and Cadance's psychological methods to stir up public opinion for her own goals.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Twilight unleashes an absolutely ''brutal'' one on her, utterly deconstructing her MotiveRant about being a SelfMadeMan, and informing her of the ''real'' atrocities that ponies have directly fought to protect others from suffering them. It results in Blintz holding a deep grudge against Twilight.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Realizing that she couldn't cow Twilight easily, she instead chooses to pull a TakingYouWithMe by leaving and pull many of the Great Equestrian Bakeoff's sponsers and celebrities with her, all to spite Twilight for exposing her true character.
* SelfMadeMan: Blintz claims that her origins were based on this in a MotiveRant. But because Blintz's speech sounds tailored, Twilight suspects otherwise, and gives her a ''brutal'' TheReasonYouSuckSpeech.
* ShadowArchetype: She's what Twilight could have been, if she chose to stay oblivious to the heart of the public issues she claims to sympathize with, and used prestige and public opinion to manipulate things into her own favor.
* TakingYouWithMe: Her sudden departure is of this manner; by leaving and taking many corporate sponsers with her, she ensures the failure of the Great Equestrian Bakeoff, leaving many earth ponies without a good chance to become successful, [[EvilIsPetty all to spite Twilight and the many ponies who sided with her]].
* WouldHurtAChild: After she was fired, Bundt Buttercream confides to Twilight that Blintz wouldn't hesitate to send security after her if she continues to stay on the premises, not caring that her former assistant is heavily pregnant with twins. This causes Twilight to promptly Bundt to her friends' hotel room and enlist Applejack to be Bundt's bodyguard.

* BlueBlood: As a member of one of Equestria's oldest noble houses, she is one.
* BrotherSisterIncest: She and Dim are products of this, being half-siblings through relations Dire Dark and Dark Desire. In fact, incest is encouraged to keep the Dark line pure.

* DealWithTheDevil: Sold her soul for power, and after she dies, they come to collect.

* VillainousBreakdown: Does not go quietly into the night.
