* AntiVillain: Nightmare Moon is actually a pretty nice pony. She's horrified by the suggestion that she kill Twilight to avoid the filly becoming a potential threat, is the one who forced Twilight to realize what a terrible path her fledgling abuses of power would lead to, and in in a conversation with her student, the Inquisitor, and [[TokenGoodTeammate Silverstar]] she is the only one to bring up morality as a reason to avoid war.
