| 20 | !!The Young Six |
| 21 | |
| 22 | [[folder:General]] |
| 23 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/large_254.png]] |
| 24 | [[caption-width-right:350:The Young Six[[note]]Left to right: [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Gallus]], [[GenkiGirl Silverstream]], [[{{Tomboy}} Smolder]], [[HugeSchoolgirl Yona]], [[SurferDude Sandbar]], and [[TheSmartGuy Ocellus]][[/note]]]] |
| 25 | |
| 26 | * AchievementsInIgnorance: In the final issue of the ''[[ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFeatsOfFriendship Feats of Friendship]]'' miniseries: [[spoiler:In reconciling their friendships, the Young Six unknowingly reform Swift Foot by proving to her [[ThePowerOfFriendship how strong]] friendship really is]]. |
| 27 | * ComicallyMissingThePoint: They miss the fact that their professors are winging it a lot of the time. In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E9NonCompeteClause Non-Compete Clause]]", they all assume Applejack and Rainbow Dash are pulling a FailureGambit to make their students work together better, when they were actually just [[RightHandVersusLeftHand needlessly bickering about the same goal]]. |
| 28 | * CorruptTheCutie: In the ''ComicBook/MyLittlePonyGenerations'' miniseries, the school gains three new new teachers: Black Belle, Shadow Storm and Violet Shiver. Unbeknownst to anyone, the trio are actually formed from the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie1986 Generation One version of the Smooze]], with the ability to spread hostility between others. A combination of this latent ability and their teaching intentionally mean-spirited "lessons" causes the Young Six to turn into disrepectful troublemakers. By the third issue, Ocellus and Silverstream (usually the sweetest of the group) openly mock and insult Fluttershy during her class. |
| 29 | * FaceYourFears: They all go through this in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E22WhatLiesBeneath What Lies Beneath]]". [[spoiler:Gallus has to confront his fear of small spaces, Ocellus confronts the past of her race as Queen Chrysalis, Sandbar's loyalty to his friends is tested by telling him to go on without them, Silverstream has to stare down a shadow of the Storm King, Smolder has to admit she has a girly side, and Yona confronts her fear of spiders.]] |
| 30 | * FantasticRacism: Some of them (Gallus, Smolder, and Yona) started out this way, believing their species was the best and didn't see the point of learning about friendship from ponies or the other creatures. Though this was mainly because they were stressed out from their boring classes. Once they skip class and just hang out together they all begin to bond quickly to the point of becoming TrueCompanions despite all being different creatures. |
| 31 | * FireForgedFriends: The core six students became friends after sneaking out of school, accidentally destroying part of it, and later running away so they could stay together and having to fend off an attacking pack of puckwudgies. |
| 32 | * {{Flight}}: Of the Young Six, four of them have wings and can fly (being a dragon, a changeling, a hippogriff and a griffon). They carry Yona and Sandbar when they want them to share the experience; Yona is scared at first, but soon enjoys it. |
| 33 | * GenerationXerox: A variation; they're not the kids of the Mane Six, but they're clearly younger and each take after certain traits. [[spoiler:The Tree of Harmony apparently associates each with an Element, too; after the rescue in "School Raze", Gallus is glowing purple (magic), Ocellus is white (generosity), Sandbar is yellow (kindness), Yona is orange (honesty), Silverstream is pink (laughter), and Smolder is light-blue (loyalty).[[note]]They're associated with the color of the element holder, not the element itself[[/note]] The same correlation is featured in "The Last Problem"; During the song "The Magic of Friendship Grows", a series of character groupings is shown for each of the Mane Six, with each of the Young Six appearing in the group of the pony whose Element they take after (Gallus = Twilight, Yona = Applejack, etc.).]] |
| 34 | * GondorCallsForAid: Invoked in "The Ending of the End" by the six of them. [[spoiler:They call on ordinary citizens of Equestria and beyond to help the Mane Six fight Chrysalis, Cozy Glow and Tirek. It results in TheCavalry coming to help when all seems lost.]] |
| 35 | * HeroOfAnotherStory: "The Last Problem" shows a stained glass window in the Canterlot throne room, the kind reserved for commemorating great victories achieved by Equestria's heroes, depicting the six defeating a rhinoceros-like creature. |
| 36 | * HiddenDepths: Several of them have these. |
| 37 | ** While Gallus generally seems to be one of the least studious of the Young Six, both "A Matter of Principals" and "School Raze – Part 2" have him quoting subjects from both class and school books, showing that he ''can'' be an attentive student when he needs to be. And In "Uprooted", he shows off a level of showmanship, as seen in his attempts to [[spoiler:honor the Tree of Harmony's memory]] by creating a museum, and enthusiastically calling on passers-by to "step right up" like it's a tourist attraction. |
| 38 | ** In "Uprooted", Ocellus is shown to have an interest and knowledge in meditation, wanting to turn [[spoiler:the Cave of Harmony]] into a place where "only positive energy can bloom". |
| 39 | ** In "A Matter of Principals", Sandbar shows some knowledge and enjoyment of poetry, using the lyrics of one such poem to locate one of the hidden artifacts. |
| 40 | ** In "Uprooted", Silverstream dreams of being the first non-pegasus Wonderbolt. She also proves herself to be a talented artist. |
| 41 | ** Also in "Uprooted", Smolder shows her to be a good sculpter, carving [[spoiler:a memorial for the Tree of Harmony]] with her bare hands. |
| 42 | ** In "Student Counsel", Silverstream displays that she has a way with animals, [[spoiler:being able to tame a cockatrice]]. |
| 43 | ** In "A Horse Shoe-In", Silverstream plays the saxophone as part of the school orchestra. |
| 44 | ** During her parent-teacher conference in "A Horse Shoe-In", Doctor Whooves claims that Yona excels in science, saying "she takes to it like a yak takes to smashing" and could potentially expand the very understanding of science itself. |
| 45 | * InterspeciesFriendship: A pony, a dragon, a hippogriff, a changeling, a griffon, and a yak, all of whom become close-knit friends with each other. |
| 46 | * {{Irony}}: They all came to the School of Friendship to learn about friendship from their classes, but they didn't become [[FireForgedFriendship close friends with each other]] until they all skipped class together due to how boring they had gotten. |
| 47 | * MasterApprenticeChain: The six of them learn lessons on friendship from the Mane Six (and Starlight). [[spoiler:At some point after Twilight's coronation, Smolder, Silverstream, and Ocellus become teachers at the school, with a new generation of students.]] |
| 48 | * MultinationalTeam: Each one originates from a different nation in the ''MLP:FIM'' world, brought together by the School of Friendship -- Equestria (Sandbar), Yakyakistan (Yona), Griffonstone (Gallus), the Dragon Lands (Smolder), Mount Aris/Seaquestria (Silverstream) and the Changeling Kingdom (Ocellus). |
| 49 | * OutOfFocus: |
| 50 | ** Compared to season 8, they have less of a presence in season 9. Though they do show up for the GrandFinale [[spoiler:and are instrumental in saving the day by giving a RousingSpeech to their races to join the fight]]. |
| 51 | ** Zig-zagged in the comics; their appearances are even more scarse, with only a handful of issues even including them in the story. Though they did get their own miniseries in the form of ''Feats of Friendship''. |
| 52 | * PartyOfRepresentatives: They are all from different species/nations, as noted above. |
| 53 | * PromotionToOpeningTitles: After their introduction in the two-part premiere, they are included in the new intro beginning with the third episode of Season 8, "The Maud Couple". |
| 54 | * ShipTease: |
| 55 | ** Between Gallus and Silverstream in the second half of season 8. |
| 56 | *** In "A Matter of Principals", Silverstream is practically beaming with pride when she realizes Gallus actually paid attention in class. |
| 57 | *** In "The Hearth's Warming Club", Silverstream is the first of the Young Six to [[spoiler:offer to stay with Gallus over the winter break]]. |
| 58 | *** In "What Lies Beneath", [[spoiler:Gallus helps Silverstream overcome her fear of the Storm King by admitting to her his own fear of enclosed spaces. After Silverstream successfully passes her test, she gives Gallus a tight hug, which he awkwardly escapes from]]. |
| 59 | ** In "She's All Yak", Sandbar invites Yona to be his partner for the school's upcoming Amity Ball ([[BlushSticker blushing]] and acting nervous as he does so), with Yona doing everything she can to try and impress him. After her efforts fail, and Sandbar assures her that he invited her for who she is, Yona hugs him, and they both blush right after. |
| 60 | ** In the same episode, Smolder nonchalantly asks Gallus to the ball, and he accepts. |
| 61 | --->'''Smolder:''' You wanna go? I don't have anything better to do.\ |
| 62 | '''Gallus:''' You had me at "dinner". |
| 63 | ** In "The Ending of the End - Part 2", Sandbar and Yona briefly hold hooves [[spoiler:when it is revealed that the Young Six brought in TheCavalry]]. |
| 64 | ** In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS9E26TheLastProblem The Last Problem]]", [[spoiler:Yona and Sandbar are living together and running the Carousel Boutique in Ponyville together in the DistantFinale. It's unclear if their relationship is platonic or romantic, however]]. |
| 65 | * TrueCompanions: In the short time they spend together, they become close enough that they actually run away from home after the school is closed because they can't bear to say goodbye to each other. |
| 66 | * TwoGirlsToATeam: Inverted. Unlike the Mane Six whose group consists of mares with the occasional male SixthRanger, the students are made up of four girls and two boys: Sandbar and Gallus. |
| 67 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: They nearly cause a war between the races when they run away without telling anyone where they were going. |
| 68 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: |
| 69 | ** Gallus has claustrophobia, the fear of small spaces. [[spoiler:When placed in a puzzle room in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E22WhatLiesBeneath What Lies Beneath]]", where breaking a purple beam causes the room to shrink, he starts panicking as the room gets smaller until he finds out breaking blue beams makes the room grow.]] |
| 70 | ** In the same episode, Yona is revealed to be afraid of spiders, [[spoiler:although she overcomes this fear after befriending a spider named Spindle]]. |
| 71 | ** PlayedForLaughs in "Uprooted"; Sandbar's nightmare involves him being unable to choose between a large number of desserts. |

| 82 | |
| 83 | A snarky blue griffon from Griffonstone who still hasn't quite shaken off his kind's standoffish attitude. |
| 84 | ---- |
| 85 | * ActuallyPrettyFunny: While hanging out with the other students by the lake, he laughs with the others when Yona jokes that griffons are "just full of hot air" after he just told them all why griffons breathe fire when they get mad. |
| 86 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Gallus' bright blue color scheme stands out in comparison to other griffons' more subdued hues, though [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E24EquestriaGames it's not without precedent]]. |
| 87 | * BlatantLies: When talking to the other students at the lake, he claims that griffons breathe fire when they get mad. Silverstream doesn't know if he's lying or being truthful, but no-one else buys it. |
| 88 | * {{Claustrophobia}}: In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E22WhatLiesBeneath What Lies Beneath]]", [[spoiler:it's revealed that he has a fear of enclosed spaces, and his test forces him to overcome it]]. |
| 89 | * CrashIntoHello: This is how he and Sandbar meet each other at the School's opening: Sandbar, who wasn't looking at where he was going, runs right into Gallus' backside. |
| 90 | -->'''Sandbar:''' Whoa, sorry! I'm Sandbar! Are you a student here too?\ |
| 91 | '''Gallus:''' No, I just figured I'd stand here and see how many ponies just walk into me. |
| 92 | * CrazyPrepared: In "Uprooted", Twilight tells the Young Six they can stay in Ponyville to [[spoiler:pay their respects to the Tree of Harmony]] as long as they get their parents/guardians to sign permission slips. Gallus asks her if she wants the form in triplicate, holding up three of them. |
| 93 | -->'''Gallus:''' What? I like to be prepared. |
| 94 | * DeadpanSnarker: His opening line of dialogue is a snarky comeback to Sandbar. In general, Gallus seems to get annoyed rather quickly, and has little patience for things that annoy him. |
| 95 | * DramaticIrony: Early in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E22WhatLiesBeneath What Lies Beneath]]", he pokes fun at how, in Equestria, a tree is considered to be a source of wisdom. [[spoiler:Come the end of the episode, he has indeed been taught a friendship lesson by the very tree he was mocking. [[LampshadeHanging And he knows perfectly well it happened]].]] |
| 96 | * ExpectingSomeoneTaller: Despite hearing stories about Rainbow Dash from Gilda and Sandbar, Gallus is not very impressed with her, and that sentiment only grows when Dash is forced to teach according to EEA standards. He changes his mind when she (along with the rest of the Mane Six) save him and his friends from pukwudgies. |
| 97 | * FeatherFingers: Although he also has hand-like talons, Gallus sometimes gestures with his wingtips too. |
| 98 | * ImmediateSelfContradiction: After the students rescue their teachers in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E9NonCompeteClause Non-Compete Clause]]", he confidently claims that the bite-acudas "weren't even a thing", then gets scared by Ocellus, who is still in her giant bite-acuda form. |
| 99 | * {{Irony}}: In "The Last Problem", it is revealed that the formerly rebellious, rule-bending young griffon [[spoiler:ends up becoming part of the Canterlot Royal Guard in the future]]. |
| 100 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He starts out as standoffish, confrontational and rude, but after a while he quickly warms up to the other students, becoming close friends with them in short order. He regularly teases and plays pranks on them, but he truly does care about them a lot. Examined in "The Hearth's Warming Club": [[spoiler:he's the one who caused the mess in the common room and tried to prevent the Young Six from leaving. It wasn't out of any genuine malice, but because he didn't want to go back to Griffonstone, hating having to spend the Blue Moon Festival alone. Gallus was hoping the students could all stay behind and be TrueCompanions over the holidays instead]]. In "School Raze", [[spoiler:his glow is similar in color to the element of Magic when rescued by the Tree of Harmony]]. |
| 101 | * JustJokingJustification: In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E9NonCompeteClause Non-Compete Clause]]", he invokes this after suggesting the students leave the trapped Applejack and Rainbow Dash hanging. |
| 102 | -->'''Gallus:''' I'm kidding! ...Kinda. |
| 103 | * TheLeader: Zig-zagged during the ''Feats of Friendship'' series. [[spoiler:After Swift Foot's false flattery, Gallus tries to take charge of the team, but Swift Foot's other machinations means they barely listen to him. After the Young Six reconcile in the final issue, he does a much better job of leading them to complete the final event.]] Also zigzagged in the main series, where while he never necessarily "leads" the group, he does take the initiative on many things and the others follow his lead. [[spoiler:Him apparently being the next Element of Magic (going by his purple glow in "School Raze") also helps with this, considering that's the element that brings all of the others together.]] He also [[spoiler:becomes the Captain of the Canterlot Royal Guard in the end of the series, further enforcing it.]] |
| 104 | * MeaningfulName: "Gallus" is the Latin genus name for "chicken", fitting with his race's avian qualities, as well as the tradition of griffon names [[AlphabeticalThemeNaming all starting with "g"]]. |
| 105 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: Gallus is not only unusually colorful, but the colored feathers of his head match the color as his lion's lower half, while all other griffons are usually separate colors below their neck, to separate the lion and bird parts. He's also the only griffon to be shown with "ears" of some kind. [[ExpressiveHair Though whether they're ears or just tufts on his head isn't clear.]] |
| 106 | * NotBad: In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E9NonCompeteClause Non-Compete Clause]]", this is his opinion of the apple shed Rainbow Dash builds. |
| 107 | -->'''Gallus:''' Impressive... if you can call an apple shed impressive. |
| 108 | * OrphansOrdeal: Gallus is all but stated to be an orphan. [[spoiler:And it's shown to be a very painful subject for him. While he does have Grandpa Gruff as his guardian, their relationship is strained at best. "A Horse-Shoe In" points out Gruff isn't a very good guardian and Gallus is clearly upset at how he acts.]] |
| 109 | * OurGryphonsAreDifferent: He's a griffon, with the head and forequarters of a bird and the tail and hindquarters of a cat. He's also much more colorful than most griffons in the show. While most other griffons have the coloring of real-life felines and birds of prey, Gallus has bright blue fur and feathers. [[note]]While a lot of real birds have blue feathers similar in color, such as parrots, it's still unusual his lion half is also that color.[[/note]] |
| 110 | * ParentalAbandonment: He states in "The Hearth's Warming Club" that [[spoiler:he doesn't have any family of his own. When asked about Grandpa Gruff, Gallus remarks that it's just his name, and that he's not any griffon's actual grandpa. WordOfGod has confirmed Gruff is his official guardian, but Gallus's relationship with him is strained at best]]. |
| 111 | * PinkGirlBlueBoy: Blue Boy to Silverstream's Pink Girl. Most obvious when they're shown together. |
| 112 | * PrehensileTail: A trait of griffons we've already seen with Gilda. Gallus once shows that his tail is strong enough to support his own weight by dangling from it in the Castle of the Two Sisters. |
| 113 | * PuppyDogEyes: He uses these to convince Grandpa Gruff to let him stay at the school. |
| 114 | * SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Is the Manly Man to Sandbar's Sensitive Guy. Sandbar is laid back, straightforward, and a NiceGuy. Gallus is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, standoffish, and snarky. |
| 115 | * StatingTheSimpleSolution: In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E9NonCompeteClause Non-Compete Clause]]", when the teachers and students come to a chasm, he points out that they have enough flyers there that they can simply fly everyone over the gap. |
| 116 | * StepfordSnarker: Underneath his sarcastic attitude, [[spoiler:he suffers from some pretty bad abandonment issues, to the point where he couldn't stand the thought of being separated from his friends for 2 weeks]]. |
| 117 | * VerbalBackspace: In [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDWIssue71 Issue #71]] of the [[ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDW comics]]. When Twilight assumes the Young Six must have been scared by being caught in a fire in the castle of the Two Sisters, Gallus claims otherwise... only to admit the truth after the others glare at him. |
| 118 | * TheWallsAreClosingIn: |
| 119 | ** In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E22WhatLiesBeneath What Lies Beneath]]", [[spoiler:Gallus is stuck in a small chamber will thin beams of light shining through. Every time he touches a wrong one, the chamber compresses. Every time he touches a right one, a gap widens bit by bit, allowing him to escape once he figures out the pattern]]. |
| 120 | ** Happens again in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS9E3Uprooted Uprooted]]", [[spoiler:this time he is trapped sideways in a closing box during a DreamSequence]]. |

| 131 | |
| 132 | A reformed changeling who initially prefers being seen in other forms than her own, but gradually opens up to the other students. |
| 133 | ---- |
| 134 | * TheAtoner: In [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDWIssue84 Issue #84]] of the comics. Part of the reason Ocellus pushes herself so hard in making her end of term project perfect is because she wants to prove that changelings can use their powers for something good and beautiful. |
| 135 | * BigCreepyCrawlies: Besides being an insectoid equine in her default appearance, she can transform into a gigantic, armored insect-like monster. |
| 136 | * BigNo: In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E22WhatLiesBeneath What Lies Beneath]]", she screams "NO!" when [[spoiler:she looks at her reflection, and sees she has become Chrysalis]]. |
| 137 | * {{Bookworm}}: By far, she's the most likely of the six to remember what's been taught in class. She knew about the Castle of the Two Sisters from Twilight's class. When the pukwudgies appear, she cites Fluttershy's lesson. She also reads ahead in books about magical artifacts to know what things are for the spell-venger hunt. |
| 138 | * BriefAccentImitation: When she disguises herself as Rarity, she greatly exaggerates the fashionista pony's "darling" habit, among other things. Fluttershy falls for it, but Angel Bunny is suspicious. She also does this when she impersonates Twilight and Applejack as a joke, and she's apparently gotten better at it. |
| 139 | * {{Flight}}: Quite capable of it with her insect wings, and does so a lot, though not as much as Silverstream. |
| 140 | * HeroicRROD: In Issue #84 of the comics. Ocellus puts so much effort into her project (a dance where she shapeshifts into multiple historical figures) that she exhausts herself, leading to her falling asleep in class and stumbling during her practice. |
| 141 | * InvisibleIntrovert: Introduced as a shy changeling who turns into other creatures in order to hide. She grows out of this once she bonds with her classmates. |
| 142 | * LiteralMinded: When she and the other Changelings were first introduced to the traditions of Hearth's Warming Eve, Ocellus took them at face value. For instance, when told to "put a tree up," she and her family hang a tree upside-down from the ceiling of their hive with a pulley, and they "exchange gifts" by passing them around to each other but not opening them. |
| 143 | * MonochromaticEyes: Like all changelings, in her default form, her eyes are all one color. Light blue in her case. The only way to tell where she's looking is to watch the white reflections in her eyes which move to where she focuses. |
| 144 | * MorphicResonance: Her bugbear, pukwudgie, seapony, and bite-acuda forms have the same light blue and pink coloring as her standard changeling form. |
| 145 | * MundaneUtility: Ocellus briefly uses her shapeshifting abilities to impersonate Twilight and Applejack as a joke in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E22WhatLiesBeneath What Lies Beneath]]". |
| 146 | * NerdsLoveToughSchoolwork: According to Gallus anyway. In "The Hearth's Warming Club", he snarks about how she'll survive two weeks without studying over the holidays. |
| 147 | * NiceGirl: Despite her shyness, she is very kind and polite. In "School Raze", [[spoiler:her glow is similar in color to the element of Generosity when rescued by the Tree of Harmony]]. |
| 148 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: She's smaller, thinner, and has [[TaremeEyes different eye design]] and more rounded features than other changelings. She also has a unique translucent mane-like frill on the back of her head and lack a diligently colored torso. |
| 149 | * ObliviousTransformation: In "What Lies Beneath". [[spoiler:She doesn't realize that she's been transformed into Chrysalis until she sees herself in a nearby mirror.]] |
| 150 | * OldShame: InUniverse. She's well aware of the dark history of changelings in Equestria, and is working to overcome it. [[spoiler:The Tree of Harmony plays on this fear in "What Lies Beneath", making Ocellus appear as Queen Chrysalis, along with the changelings appearing in the AlwaysChaoticEvil forms from the past.]] |
| 151 | * OutOfFocus: Out of all the Young Six, she is in the spotlight the least, and never got a focus episode of her own. The [[ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDW comics]] ultimately amended this, with [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDWIssue84 Issue #84]] revolving around her. |
| 152 | * ShapeshifterBaggage: She can transform into things far larger than herself, apparently with all the mass they would normally have. Where she gets the extra mass is not explained (though the changelings' shapeshifting process seems to be magical in nature, so the mass may just literally appear from out of nowhere). |
| 153 | * ShapeshifterDefaultForm: Naturally for a changeling, her true form is an insectoid equine. |
| 154 | * ShapeshifterModeLock: In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E22WhatLiesBeneath What Lies Beneath]]", Ocellus is trapped in the form of [[spoiler:Queen Chrysalis, which she can only dispel once Smolder helps convince her that the evil past of the changelings is behind them]]. |
| 155 | * ShorterMeansSmarter: Is the shortest of the young six, and seems to be the smartest, most academically inclined of the group. |
| 156 | * ShrinkingViolet: |
| 157 | ** Very quiet and very shy, she often assumes new forms just to avoid meeting people in her normal form. Her EstablishingCharacterMoment is getting scolded by Thorax for changing into a dragon on the first day. |
| 158 | ** In "2, 4, 6 Greaaat", her shyness makes it hard for her to make herself heard during cheer squad practice. Rainbow Dash manages to get around this by giving Ocellus a megaphone to speak through during the actual performance. |
| 159 | * SmartGirl: The most academically inclined of the group. |
| 160 | * SummonBiggerFish: In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E9NonCompeteClause Non-Compete Clause]]", the students deal with the bite-acudas by having her transform into a much bigger bite-acuda and chase them away. |
| 161 | * TaremeEyes: Unique amongst changeling to have them, fitting her shy personality. |
| 162 | * ThemeNaming: "Ocellus" is the word for the simplistic eyes sported by some insects, fitting with the [[AnimalMotifs insect motif]] that many changeling names have. |
| 163 | * VocalDissonance: Her voice sounds kind of odd coming from some of the forms she takes. |
| 164 | * VoicesAreMental: She zig-zags this; sometimes she uses her own voice when shapeshifting (mostly when changing into things that don't talk), at other times she doesn't (mimicking the voice as well as the appearance). |
| 165 | * VoluntaryShapeshifting: Standard for a changeling. She can even turn into things several times her size, including a giant bug monster, a bite-acuda, and a bugbear. She can also change into a seapony to breathe underwater. |
| 166 | * WingedUnicorn: Technically, she is one, having insect wings and a horn. However, it doesn't seem to confer her any special powers or additional respect, unlike the ponies with wings and horns, and she doesn't seem to use her horn for anything, though she does fly a lot. |

| 177 | A laid-back earth pony stallion, and the most sensible member of his group of friends. |
| 178 | ---- |
| 179 | * AmazonChaser: Crushes on and eventually gets with Yona, a BrawnHilda twice his size who grows even larger as an adult. |
| 180 | * BadLiar: When asked why he needs so many cupcakes when he and the rest of the students are supposed to be hiding, he nervously replies that he's really hungry. On his way out the door, he walks very slowly, and even nervously drops a box of cupcakes. He's better at [[spoiler:tricking Neighsay into thinking he's thrown the other five under a bus when Neighsay takes over the school]]. |
| 181 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: |
| 182 | ** In "The Hearth's Warming Club", while the Young Six are all arguing over who pulled the prank, Sandbar actively blames Ocellus, and earlier in the episode is unwilling to take the blame for whoever did it. |
| 183 | ** He plays a ''major'' part in foiling the EvilPlan of [[spoiler:[[EnfantTerrible Cozy Glow]] in "School Raze", and, like everyone else, doesn't protest against her [[DraggedOffToHell being imprisoned in Tartarus]] for her crimes]]. |
| 184 | * CrashIntoHello: This is how he and Gallus meet each other at the School's opening: Sandbar, who wasn't looking at where he was going, runs right into Gallus' backside. |
| 185 | -->'''Sandbar:''' Whoa, sorry! I'm Sandbar! Are you a student here too?\ |
| 186 | '''Gallus:''' No, I just figured I'd stand here and see how many ponies just walk into me. |
| 187 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: He has green eyes to match his green mane. |
| 188 | * DisappointedInYou: In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E22WhatLiesBeneath What Lies Beneath]]", [[spoiler:when he refuses to go any further without finding his friends first the illusions of Rarity and Rainbow say he is a disappointment for choosing a small group of friends over all of Equestria. He fires back that they disappoint him for trying to make him abandon his friends and go against everything they stand for, but soon realizes they are not the real Rarity and Rainbow after all]]. |
| 189 | * EarlyBirdCameo: He made a brief appearance in the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsForgottenFriendship'' special, during the establishing shot of Canterlot. |
| 190 | * FakeDefector: [[spoiler:Sandbar pretends to betray the Young Six in "School Raze", but that's only so neither Neighsay nor Cozy Glow would prevent him from getting the CMC as reinforcements, finding out what was going on, and freeing his friends from the student quarters.]] |
| 191 | * FriendOrIdolDecision: For a different meaning of "idol". [[spoiler:Sandbar's test in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E22WhatLiesBeneath What Lies Beneath]]" has illusions of Rarity and Rainbow Dash show up insisting they need his help for a friendship problem, but the task will require him to leave his friends behind. He goes along with it, at first, but as they get more insistent that he abandon his friends, he eventually stands up to them and passes the test.]] |
| 192 | * HeroWorshipper: In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E22WhatLiesBeneath What Lies Beneath]]" he says that he's always looked up to the Mane Six. |
| 193 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: |
| 194 | ** In "The Hearth's Warming Club", he tries to get Ocellus to sing, not noticing that Ocellus is uncomfortable with doing so. |
| 195 | ** In "Uprooted", he unintentionally upsets the Young Six by [[spoiler:putting away the Tree of Harmony's remains]] and planting a sapling in its place. |
| 196 | * {{Irony}}: In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E7HorsePlay Horse Play]]", the students are asked to play the unicorns who raised the sun every day before Celestia took up the responsibility. Sandbar, who comparatively is the "normal" one of the group without any special abilities, is the one playing Star Swirl the Bearded, one of the most powerful unicorns of all time and the only one whose magic was able to withstand raising the sun. |
| 197 | * LoveAtFirstSight: [[spoiler:In the ''Feats of Friendship'' comic arc, he gains a crush on the new student Swift Foot once she enters the classroom.]] |
| 198 | * {{Muggle}}: While all of his friends have varying levels of abilities or feats of strength, Sandbar is the most relatively normal character of the group. This is made even more apparent by the fact that he's an earth pony instead of a magic-wielding unicorn or an airborne pegasus. |
| 199 | * MundaneMadeAwesome: In "The Hearth's Warming Club", in contrast to the other student's stories, Sandbar's tale of his Hearth's Warming doll falling off a hearth and nearly getting caught in the fire is rather boring, but he acts as if it's as amazing as the other stories. He later offers to tell another story of how he almost spilled grape juice on a white couch. |
| 200 | * NiceGuy: Sandbar is a very affable pony and overall the most laid back of the students. [[spoiler:In "School Raze", he's got the color of the element of Kindness when rescued by the Tree of Harmony.]] |
| 201 | * OnlySaneMan: He points out how much trouble the students could get in for skipping school in "School Daze", but no-one else listens to him. |
| 202 | * SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Is the Sensitive Guy to Gallus' Manly Man. |
| 203 | * SurferDude: His voice and laid-back demeanor give off this impression. Considering his cutie mark is three turtles, he probably spends a lot of time near the water. |
| 204 | * TeamDad: He serves as this for the group, trying to defuse their arguments, and going with them when they cut class in order to make sure they don't get into trouble. |
| 205 | * TokenHuman: On a pony-majority show, he's the only pony in the Young Six. |
| 206 | * WellDoneSonGuy: While he has no relation to the Mane Six, "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E22WhatLiesBeneath What Lies Beneath]]" has him desperate to impress Rarity and Rainbow Dash. |

| 216 | |
| 217 | A very excitable hippogriff and the niece of [[Characters/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017 Queen Novo]]. Having spent much of her life underwater as a seapony, she is quite curious to experience life above the surface. |
| 218 | ---- |
| 219 | * AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Is always seen wearing her necklace, which doubles as a TransformationTrinket. |
| 220 | * AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Having spent most of her life underwater, Silverstream is easily captivated by every new thing she sees on the surface. |
| 221 | * ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E22WhatLiesBeneath What Lies Beneath]]", she mentions that because the Storm King has returned, she'll never see another sunset, fly through another cloud, or study plumbing. |
| 222 | * CoolBigSis: WordOfGod [[https://twitter.com/TheBiggestJim/status/1026696582257754112 states]] that between her and Terramar, she's the older sibling. [[invoked]] |
| 223 | * CuteButCacophonic: She tends to yell a lot when she's excited. Which is, to say, often. |
| 224 | * DoubleTake: In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E9NonCompeteClause Non-Compete Clause]]", she does this when Applejack and Rainbow Dash give the canoe team contradictory directions. |
| 225 | -->'''Ocellus:''' Which way do we go?\ |
| 226 | '''Rainbow Dash:''' Left!\ |
| 227 | '''Applejack:''' Right!\ |
| 228 | '''Silverstream:''' Aye-aye, captains! ...Wait, what? |
| 229 | * FeatherFingers: Like Gallus, she makes gestures with her wings as well as her talons. |
| 230 | * FishOutOfWater: Almost quite literally. Being a young hippogriff, she has spent most of her life underwater as a seapony, as her nation was hiding from the Storm King's armies. As such, she's not just unfamiliar with the pony lands, but with the surface world altogether. All the novelties she discovers solely inspire her excitement, however, rather than any fear. |
| 231 | * {{Flight}}: Off all the winged students, Silverstream is the one flying the most often, being in the air more frequently than walking. Probably also linked to her past as a seapony: it must feel more natural for her, as it's closer to swimming, than actually moving on the ground. |
| 232 | * FluffyTamer: [[spoiler:Figured out how to tame a ''cockatrice'', a creature that even Fluttershy had to Stare into submission.]] |
| 233 | * GenkiGirl: She's quite excitable, especially about things she's never seen outside of home. [[spoiler:In "School Raze", she's got the color of the element of Laughter when rescued by the Tree of Harmony.]] |
| 234 | * TheGlomp: In "What Lies Beneath". [[spoiler:After shouting down the (fake) Storm King, Silverstream glomps Gallus, causing him to awkwardly push her away and say "Okay, hug time later."]] |
| 235 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: At the end of "Student Counsel", she offhandedly mentions that Starlight wasn't much help with her attempts to explain dry land concepts to her Seapony cousins. |
| 236 | * LiteralMinded: In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E9NonCompeteClause Non-Compete Clause]]", she thinks that a "field trip" means tripping while on a field instead of going somewhere. |
| 237 | * MotorMouth: Silverstream has a tendency to talk rather fast when she's excited. Which is often. |
| 238 | * MundaneObjectAmazement: |
| 239 | ** At one point, she gets excited by ''stairs''. She justifies it by explaining that while living underwater, she and the other seaponies had no way to climb stairs and thus never built any. |
| 240 | ** In "What Lies Beneath", she's amazed by a book on plumbing. |
| 241 | ** In "She's All Yak," she becomes fascinated by the posters Twilight is putting up to advertise a school dance. |
| 242 | * MyHovercraftIsFullOfEels: Her attempt to speak yak in ''Feats of Friendship'' Issue #3: |
| 243 | -->'''Silverstream:''' I was trying to say "we do care and we're trying" in yak.\ |
| 244 | '''Yona:''' Haw! You are saying "we need more mayo for the trout bike!" |
| 245 | * NiceGirl: She is very sociable and friendly to everyone. |
| 246 | * NoIndoorVoice: Since she's always so excited, she tends to shout almost everything she says. |
| 247 | * NotAfraidOfYouAnymore: Gives off this vibe during a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech in "What Lies Beneath". [[spoiler:Silverstream says that the Storm King is nothing but a bully, but now that he's gone, the hippogriffs are better for it, and they're never going to think about him ever again.]] |
| 248 | * ObliviousGuiltSlinging: In ''Feats of Friendship'' Issue #3; [[spoiler:When Swift Foot questions how the Young Six can still want her on their team after everything she's done, Silverstream responds by saying she showed nothing but compassion and concern for them and their cultures. Swift Foot of course knows she did the exact opposite.]] |
| 249 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Pointed out by Gallus in comics Issue #84 when Silverstream rallies the rest of the Young Six to check on Ocellus. |
| 250 | -->'''Silverstream:''' [[StagingAnIntervention It's time for an intervention]].\ |
| 251 | '''Smolder:''' Can't it wait until morning?\ |
| 252 | '''Gallus:''' I wouldn't argue. Have you ever seen Silverstream ''this'' serious?\ |
| 253 | '''Smolder:''' You make a good point. |
| 254 | * OurGryphonsAreDifferent: She's a hippogriff, a creature described as half-pony and half-eagle. Her equine and avian traits are fairly well blended together, including feathered fetlocks, a mane of colorful feathers, and mammalian ears on her avian head. This helps distinguish her from griffons, which strictly have the heads, wings, and talons of birds, and the legs and tails of lions. |
| 255 | * OurMermaidsAreDifferent: On top of being a hippogriff, she's also able to transform into a seapony, or a hippocampus to use the more technical term, which is a horse with the hindquarters of a fish. She retains the same general features as a hippogriff, but loses her beak and gains fins in place of feathers. |
| 256 | * PinkGirlBlueBoy: Pink Girl to Gallus' Blue Boy. At least when shown together. |
| 257 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E22WhatLiesBeneath What Lies Beneath]]", Silverstream gives one to [[spoiler:the shadow of the Storm King when she finally faces her fear and stands up to him]]. |
| 258 | -->'''Silverstream:''' [[spoiler:Uh, hey! Storm King! You're nothing but a big, old bully with a silly name and a goofy crown! You thought you could scare us into doing whatever you wanted! But we learned that together, we're stronger than you! And now that we're rid of you, we're gonna soar through the sky and go on adventures and NEVER GIVE YOU ANOTHER THOUGHT EVER!!]] |
| 259 | * RoyalBlood: Her mother Ocean Flow is Queen Novo's sister, which is how she's Princess Skystar's cousin. [[spoiler:When she is considered missing during "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS9E11StudentCounsel Student Counsel]]", ''the entirety of Mount Aris'' is mobilized to look for her.]] |
| 260 | * RummageSaleReject: In Issue #71 of the comics ("Happy Haunts"), Silverstream, being unable to decide which costume to wear for Nightmare Night, chooses to wear all of them at once. |
| 261 | * SarcasmBlind: Not completely, but she's not used to hearing sarcasm, so it becomes a DiscussedTrope with her. |
| 262 | -->'''Gallus:''' Aw, are we not being sweet and friendly enough for you, pony?\ |
| 263 | '''Silverstream:''' That was sarcasm, right? 'Cause you weren't being sweet ''or'' nice? |
| 264 | * SkewedPriorities: In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E22WhatLiesBeneath What Lies Beneath]]", [[spoiler:when she finds herself at what appears to be Mount Aris, she initially wonders if she's been suspended]]. |
| 265 | * {{Squee}}: She tends to squee just as often as Pinkie Pie. |
| 266 | * StealthPun: Silverstream having lived underwater as a seapony for as long as she can remember before coming to the School of Friendship makes her a FishOutOfWater in more ways than one. |
| 267 | * StepfordSmiler: [[spoiler:It seems Silverstream, for all her happy-go-lucky nature, was deeply traumatized by the Storm King's invasion of Mount Aris. Just the sight of him and his Storm Guard in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E22WhatLiesBeneath What Lies Beneath]]" is enough to make her afraid that she'll never be able to return to the surface ever again, showing how deeply she was psychologically scarred by the experience.]] |
| 268 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To her cousin, Princess Skystar. She shares Skystar's race, [[GenkiGirl excitability]], and [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} awkwardness]]. |
| 269 | * TransformationTrinket: Her necklace contains a fragment from the Pearl of Transformation, which enables her to shift between her hippogriff and seapony forms at will. Other episodes past her introduction show that every hippogriff wears such a necklace. |
| 270 | * VoluntaryShapeshifting: Like the rest of her kind after the events of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017 the movie]], she uses a fragment of Queen Novo's Pearl of Transformation to shift between her hippogriff and seapony forms at will. |
| 271 | * WhatIsThisFeeling: As the classes grow dull and uninteresting, Silverstream finds herself experiencing what seems to be an unfamiliar feeling for her: boredom. |
| 272 | -->'''Silverstream:''' Is this what boring is? Am I bored? |

| 287 | ** In "Sweet and Smoky", she sticks up for Spike when Garble's gang mock him, and is ''not'' happy when she learns Garble has been picking on Spike behind her back. |
| 288 | * ClassClown: If the official class photo from Discovery Family Channel's website is anything to go by. When Sandbar brings everycreature pillows for the Castle of the Two Sisters, she promptly turns it into a pillow fight. |
| 289 | * CoolBigSis: She appears to have taken this role towards Spike. |
| 290 | ** In "Molt Down", she tracks down Spike after realizing that he is going through "The Molt" and explains what it is to him when she realizes he doesn't know anything about it, congratulating him for growing up. |
| 291 | ** In "A Rockhoof and a Hard Place", they have a fire-breathing contest, which according to Twilight is something they do "all the time". |
| 292 | ** In "Father Knows Beast", [[spoiler:she gives Spike flying lessons and the two become quite close in the subsequent scenes too. Towards the end of the episode she realizes that Sludge is taking advantage of Spike and asks Spike to explain everything Sludge has "taught" him about being a dragon, [[ShutUpHannibal calls Sludge out]] when they find out he was only pretending to be Spike's dad, and comforts Spike after Sludge leaves]]. |
| 293 | * CompetitionFreak: When asked what dragons are good at, she replies "competition" and challenges all of her new friends to a race. |
| 294 | * CuteLittleFangs: She has a pair of small fangs peeking out the side of her lips, even when her mouth is shut. |
| 295 | * DeadpanSnarker: In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E9NonCompeteClause Non-Compete Clause]]", she plays this role when Applejack and Rainbow Dash argue over who'll be the next Teacher of the Month in front of the students. |
| 296 | -->'''Smolder:''' Yeah... This isn't awkward at all... |
| 297 | * EatDirtCheap: Like all dragons, she has a taste for gems. While the students are hiding out at the Castle of the Two Sisters, Smolder can be seen plucking jewels off the helmet from an old suit of armor and eating them. |
| 298 | * FailedASpotCheck: After Smolder manages to pass her test in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E22WhatLiesBeneath What Lies Beneath]]", she doesn't realize that [[spoiler:she is still wearing the dress and makeup until Gallus asks her about it]]. |
| 299 | * GuiltyPleasures: "What Lies Beneath" establishes that she secretly likes [[spoiler:"cute, silly stuff"]]. |
| 300 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E11MoltDown Molt Down]]", she tells Spike all about the molt that dragons go through, such as how the molting dragon's family kick them out of their home, and that the smell makes them a magnet for predators. Smolder fails to realize that she is only making Spike feel worse about his molting process. She only sees it as a good thing, to the point where she ''congratulates'' him for it. |
| 301 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: At first, she's dismissive of the other students' species and cultures and makes it quite clear she does not want to be there. Once she has spent some time with the others, however, she reveals herself to be willing to be much friendlier and agreeable than she first let on. |
| 302 | * LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E22WhatLiesBeneath What Lies Beneath]]", she warns Gallus never to speak of [[spoiler:seeing her in a dress and girly make-up]]. |
| 303 | * MoralityPet: Smolder is this to her older brother Garble. Note that while throughout Garble's past appearances in the series he was at best a brute and a bully, and at worst a murderous, sadistic sociopath, Smolder's appearance with him in the episode "Sweet and Smoky" was the first time in the series that Garble is shown being capable of feeling empathy for another living being. Garble genuinely cares for Smolder, and according to her he was a good brother to her in the past. And when Smolder calls Garble out on his actions, he listens to her. She was one of the reasons he reforms at the end of the episode. |
| 304 | * MrExposition: Essentially her role in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E11MoltDown Molt Down]]". She notices Spike is molting, explains him what it is and then leaves, not appearing again for the rest of the episode. |
| 305 | * NoJustNoReaction: In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E22WhatLiesBeneath What Lies Beneath]]", this is her response to the Stepford ponies' first invitation to join them at their tea party. |
| 306 | -->'''Smolder:''' No. On so many levels. No. |
| 307 | * NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: She seems to have this in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E11MoltDown Molt Down]]", where she follows Spike into a custodian's closet and ignores his request to be left alone. |
| 308 | * NotBad: She says a variation of this after spending time with the other students and after being rescued by the Mane Six. |
| 309 | * OneDegreeOfSeparation: [[spoiler:In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E11MoltDown Molt Down]]", she mentions having an older brother. In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS9E9SweetAndSmoky Sweet and Smoky]]", her brother is revealed to be Garble.]] |
| 310 | * OurDragonsAreDifferent: Being a young dragon, she's small. She's also bipedal and has wings. |
| 311 | * PassionateSportsGirl: She's the most athletic out of all the girls. |
| 312 | * ProudWarriorRaceGuy: She starts out that way, clearly being chauvinistic about her own people. She mostly grows out of it after spending time around both Spike and the Student Six, [[spoiler:to the point that by "School Raze", she gets colored by the element of Loyalty when rescued by the Tree of Harmony]]. |
| 313 | * RememberedICouldFly: In Issue #71 of the comics. Smolder is afraid of the Castle of the Two Sisters burning down around the Young Six until Yona reminds her that she is immune to fire. |
| 314 | * RememberTheNewGuy: In a roundabout way. In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS9E9SweetAndSmoky Sweet and Smoky]]", we learn that she is actually [[spoiler:Garble's sister]], but she never ever appeared alongside [[spoiler:him]] before, even on occasions where it would be expected of her, like all those gatherings of dragons on special occasions (dragon migration in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E21DragonQuest Dragon Quest]]", competition for Bloodstone Scepter in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E5GauntletOfFire Gauntlet of Fire]]", et cetera). |
| 315 | * SheCleansUpNicely: "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E22WhatLiesBeneath What Lies Beneath]]" shows that Smolder looks quite adorable [[spoiler:when she dresses up for tea]]. |
| 316 | * TechnicolorFire: The episode "A Matter of Principals" shows us that Smolder's BreathWeapon is multicolored, with a blue core, yellow edge, and pink in-between. |
| 317 | * TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: "What Lies Beneath" reveals [[spoiler:she has a liking for cute things, which she's afraid of admitting. Only by admitting it does the Tree of Harmony break the illusion, even though she tells Gallus to [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain never mention it again]]]]. She also later joins the cheer squad. |
| 318 | * TomboyishVoice: She has a very androgynous, raspy voice, and she's also aggressive and competitive. |
| 319 | * {{Tsundere}}: Smolder, much like Ember before her, has a hard time embracing affection [[spoiler:and "silly cute things." It's only when she admits it in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E22WhatLiesBeneath What Lies Beneath]]" that she passes her test]]. |
| 320 | * UndyingLoyalty: While she doesn't get sappy about it, she is very devoted to her friends. In "What Lies Beneath", [[spoiler:she is willing to admit to her secret love of "cute, silly stuff" in order to get to them, and again to help Ocellus realize she could grow beyond her dark past. In "School Raze", she is the first to go after Gallus as he gets pulled into the magic-draining sphere, and is colored with the element of Loyalty when rescued by the Tree of Harmony]]. |
| 321 | * UnmanlySecret: [[spoiler:Smolder does like cute things, like tea parties and dresses, but it takes a life-or-death situation to get her to admit it.]] |
| 322 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: In Issue #84 of the comics. Smolder was the one who unknowingly inspired Ocellus to use her changeling abilities for her project. |
| 323 | * VocalDissonance: When she [[spoiler:finally accepts the Stepford ponies' request to join their tea party in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E22WhatLiesBeneath What Lies Beneath]]"]], she briefly speaks in a much softer, more feminine tone than her usual scratchy voice. |

| 337 | * AllAnimalsAreDogs: When she stops rolling in front of a cart full of cupcakes that Sandbar brought the students, Yona starts panting like a dog and wagging her tail. |
| 338 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: Yona is the most accident-prone of the Young Six, but she has quite the temper and isn't afraid to show it for the most part. |
| 339 | * BeYourself: An {{Aesop}} she learns in "She's All Yak", with Sandbar explaining that he invited her to the pony dance because he likes her as herself and not "as a pony", prompting her to go back to the dance. |
| 340 | * BigDamnHeroes: In the comics storyline "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDWIssue87To88 The Fast and the Furriest]]": [[spoiler:While watching the Draytona Breach 500 race via airship, she observes that [[BigBad Dr. Sacks Roamer]] is about to cross the finish line into Yakyakistan with his stolen dragon artifact (as he knows the dragons will be unable to follow him due to the cold). Yona dons an emergency parachute and jumps out of the airship, landing on top of him and stopping him in his tracks]]. |
| 341 | * BoisterousBruiser: Easily the biggest, strongest, and most physical of the Young Six, with a big, friendly, and excitable personality to match. |
| 342 | * BrawnHilda: Huge, strong, and foreign, easily the largest of the Student Six, with a [[HulkSpeak Brutish manner of speech]] and a penchant for smashing things. Unusually for the trope, though, she ends up being Sandbar's choice of partner for the dance in "She's All Yak" in part ''because'' [[AmazonChaser of these traits.]] |
| 343 | * BrutalHonesty: She can usually be counted on to provide her unabashed opinion on matters. [[spoiler:In "School Raze", she gets colored with the element of Honesty when rescued by the Tree of Harmony.]] |
| 344 | * ButtMonkey: Out of the whole group she is the one physically harmed and put in danger the most. |
| 345 | ** In the two-part opener, she is constantly tripping on her braids and falling over herself, which causes her to smash into things around her and others. |
| 346 | ** In "Non-Compete Clause", she has her lifejacket torn off and almost drowns before Ocellus and Silverstream save her. |
| 347 | ** When Discord has a bugbear chase the students in "A Matter of Principals", she can't keep up with the other students and trips, nearly getting caught by the bugbear until Starlight arrives. |
| 348 | ** In "School Raze – Part 1", [[spoiler:she and several others fall from a cloud when magic begins disappearing. She is caught only a few inches from the ground, and is the last one of the falling group to be saved]]. |
| 349 | ** "Uprooted" has her live a nightmare of falling from the sky. |
| 350 | * CuteBruiser: Easily the most adorable yak seen in the show so far, but like the rest of her species, she prefers to use force to solve a problem. |
| 351 | * CuteClumsyGirl: She has long braids that she keeps tripping over, often resulting in her crashing into things. Rarity solves this problem by looping them so she's somewhat less accident-prone. |
| 352 | * {{Gasshole}}: In "She's All Yak". After swallowing the brussel sprouts Rarity had her hold in her mouth to help her be articulate, Yona belches loudly. |
| 353 | * GonkyFemme: A cutesy, energetic girl who's also a huge, hairy yak. |
| 354 | * HeroWorshipper: In "A Rockhoof and a Hard Place", Yona quickly becomes enraptured by Rockhoof, since he isn't so different from Yaks. She's the most devastated of the class when she learns that he plans to [[TakenForGranite turn himself into stone]]. She also writes her friendship essay about him and is the one who convinces him to abandon his plan. |
| 355 | * HidingBehindTheLanguageBarrier: In the ''Feats of Friendship'' miniseries. After Swift Foot convinces Yona that the rest of the Young Six don't respect her culture enough to even learn her language, she starts speaking in yak, just to spite them. |
| 356 | * HugeSchoolgirl: While it's common for yaks to be bigger and stronger than the average pony, Yona still sets herself apart from all of her classmates by being almost ridiculously more powerful than them. |
| 357 | * HulkSpeak: As is standard for the yaks, she doesn't conjugate verbs or use articles like the word "the" when she speaks. |
| 358 | * IGotBigger: She was already the biggest of her group of friends thanks to being a yak, but in the DistantFinale she's grown even bigger, towering over both Rarity and Sandbar. |
| 359 | * TheKlutz: Besides just tripping, she's prone to breaking things, smashing into stuff and knocking people over, causing a lot of trouble for everyone else. Applejack even offers to give her a tour before she "destroys the place". Gallus outright calls Yona a "klutz" during the students' brief argument. |
| 360 | * LessonsInSophistication: She takes some from Rarity in "She's All Yak", as part of her desire to be the best "pony pal" for Sandbar. |
| 361 | * LiteralMinded: In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E9NonCompeteClause Non-Compete Clause]]", she thinks that a "field trip" means tripping while on a field instead of going somewhere. |
| 362 | * NiceGirl: She's quite a friendly yak who's more than willing to help out her friends and others without any question. |
| 363 | * NotBad: In "School Daze – Part 2", she says this after the Mane Six, Starlight and Spike save her and the rest of the Young Six from some pukwudgies (though she hastily adds "for ponies"). |
| 364 | * OnlySaneMan: In "Uprooted". She is the only member of the Young Six to suggest that they work together to [[spoiler:honor the Tree of Harmony]]. After their individual projects sabotage each other, she gets them on the same page by saying [[spoiler:they shouldn't be honoring the Tree for what it was, but instead honoring its place in their hearts]]. |
| 365 | * ProudWarriorRaceGuy: No matter the activity, Yona will proclaim that yaks are the best at it. Except for flying and swimming. |
| 366 | * SpidersAreScary: [[spoiler:To Yona, an arachnophobe, they certainly are. Subverted by "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E22WhatLiesBeneath What Lies Beneath]]", as the spiders Yona encounters in that episode are friendly and harmless creatures who help her find her friends.]] |
| 367 | * SuperDrowningSkills: In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E9NonCompeteClause Non-Compete Clause]]", she sinks like a stone when she gets into water and her lifejacket rips off, since she can't swim. Luckily, Ocellus and Silverstream both transform into seaponies to save her. |
| 368 | * ThirdPersonPerson: As is the case for the rest of the yaks, she rarely uses first person, referring to herself as "Yona" or "Yak". However, she does refer to Gallus and Sandbar by their names in later episodes. |
| 369 | * UseYourHead: In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E9NonCompeteClause Non-Compete Clause]]", when Applejack and Rainbow Dash end up stuck in the gap between two trees, Yona (with a little prompting from Gallus) frees them with a headbutt. |
| 370 | * WheelOFeet: Briefly has these when she rushes outside to meet Sandbar and get some cupcakes he brought for the students. |
