Unfortunately, Shining Armor is a very busy stallion, and doubts he'll be able to give an apprentice the time and effort they deserve, but promises to consider the problem.


Added DiffLines:

* AttackReflector: Chartreuse's shield does this indirectly, converting incoming energy into heat that is (when the shield is charged enough) reflected back at the origin.
* BarrierWarrior: Chartreuse's special spell is a force-field, with a twist. Anything striking the field strengthens it and causes the outer surface to heat up, quickly reaching the point where it will burst into flames. This process can be continued indefinitely. She seeks out another one (Shining Armor) as her master because she thinks he'll be the best option to help her control it.

* ClassifiedInformation: [[spoiler:Exactly what Pasteur Le Feu[[note]]Chartreuse's father[[/note]] does is very highly classified]], even Shining Armor lacks clearance to know.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Foil}}: Chartreuse is something of one to Dim. Both were raised by parents who has a purpose in mind for their child and worked to arrange it, but while Dim was raised to seek power and rulership, and rebelled against that upbringing, Chartreuse was raised to be altruistic and to serve, and does not rebel.


Added DiffLines:

* PersonOfMassDestruction: Canterlot Central Intelligence keeps a watchlist of them. Chartreuse is on it.


Added DiffLines:

* UnskilledButStrong: Shining's magical theory is weak. While he can learn and cast spells fine, he can't creatively use them like Twilight, Dim or Sunburst.
