11	The main character and target of Anon-a-Miss. She's in over her head and full well knows it.
12
13	* AnywhereButTheirLips: Delivers a silent kiss to [[spoiler: Rainbow's]] cheek before passing out for the night, after being assured by them that her still plotting revenge up until the climax of ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks Rainbow Rocks]]'' was both expected and not a big deal.
14	* [[spoiler: AwesomeMomentOfCrowning]]: [[spoiler:Sunset is given this upon accepting Queen Crescendo's offer to become Queen of the Sirens. In which the deceased spirits of Maretonia cheer that a new Queen has been crowned, and their race still has a hope for survival.]]
15	* BecomingTheMask: Sunset admits to Rainbow that she never actually planned on atoning for any of her actions, much less becoming a better person, plotting revenge on the girls in the weeks after the Fall Formal. It was only during ''Rainbow Rocks'' that she realized that she actually enjoyed having friends.
16	* DistinguishingMark: Gilda's crew left a [[spoiler: burn scar on Sunset's left cheek]] in the rough shape of her cutie mark.
17	* IAmWhatIAm: Despite her claims against this, [[spoiler:the appearance of a streak of blue in "Demonset's" hair implies that Sunset does accept that those powers and that form are very much a part of her.]]
18	* [[spoiler: MeaningfulRename]]: After [[spoiler:being crowned the next Queen of Maretonia]], Sunset changes her last name to [[spoiler:Stanza to fit both her new position and powers.]] It seems like a SuddenNameChange until she explains to Rainbow Dash that changing your name to fit your special talent isn't an uncommon action in Equestria.
19	* [[spoiler: ModestRoyalty]]: Even with her [[LimitedWardrobe new clothing]], Sunset's choice in garb remains casual, mainly swapping out the leather jackets seen in canon for a hoodie.
20	* [[spoiler: OfferedTheCrown]]: This is the first of Queen Crescendo's terms for Sunset in exchange for saving her life.
21	* ReformedButNotTamed: Sunset still isn't the power hungry fallen student she once was, but Anon-a-Miss and everything afterward has her behave more like a snarky {{antihero}} as opposed to the openly kind-hearted do-gooder seen in canon.
22	* [[spoiler: ReluctantRuler]]: Remembering what happened [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls last time]], Sunset denies being worthy of such a position and asks why she would ever deserve such a thing. [[spoiler: When she finally does accept, she does so out of a will to live and to make sure the Dazzlings aren't left to die.]]
23	* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Often uses this when teased about her friendship with Rainbow. Oddly, no one seems to buy it.
24	* StreetUrchin: Briefly notes that she was an orphan before being taken in by Princess Celestia, and later admits that she's been homeless the entire time she's resided in the human world.
25	* TalkingToThemself: Sunset has a short chat with her subconscious, [[spoiler: taking the shape of her demon form]], during a dream sequence. It warns her of [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity what might happen]] if she doesn't learn to control her vast amount of dark magic.
26	* TrueCompanions: With Rainbow Dash. Between being the only student in CHS to believe her innocence, sticking with her even after the beatdown delivered by Gilda and her goons, and now [[spoiler:demons and cults]] bearing down on them, its hard to imagine [[FireForgedFriends them not sticking by each other]].
27	* UnexpectedSuccessor: Based on the Dazzlings' reactions, [[spoiler: Sunset Shimmer was the last person they expected to become their new queen.]]
28	* WalkingSpoiler: Given the events of Chapter 6.
29	* WoundThatWillNotHeal: After the events of Chapter 6, [[spoiler: she's left with a paler skin tone and hair, red now replaced with blue, and a sun-shaped burn scar on her left cheek.]]

35	[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here to see her appearance post-chapter 6. Spoilers!]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/marred.png[[/labelnote]]]]
36	Athletic, competitive, short-tempered, loyal to a fault, and Sunset's best friend.
37
38	* AccidentalKiss: Happens when she and Sour Sweet [[LiteralMetaphor run into each other]] for the first time, much to the horror of both.
39	* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: When speaking to her subconscious, it takes on the form of Sunset, reasoning that Dash listens to her more than anyone else.
40	* DistractedByTheSexy: Rainbow's subconscious admits that they often get distracted from Sunset's MagiBabble by staring at her breasts.
41	* EmotionalPowers: [[spoiler:Rainbow's demonic form is triggered by feelings of anger. She becomes more powerful the angrier she becomes, but also begins to lose control in the process. She slowly gets better at this.]]
42	* ForWantOfANail: Rainbow Dash decides to trust in Sunset's innocence, remembering both her friend's recent acts of kindness and what happened the last time she refused to swallow her pride and hear a friend out. This is in contrast to many other ''Anon-A-Miss'' fics, where Rainbow Dash is either a villain, or at the very least the one most unwilling to hear Sunset out, due to {{Flanderization}} of her brash personality.
43	* HairTriggerTemper: Rainbow had always had a short fuse, but [[spoiler:getting imbued with copious amounts of dark magic]] made it that much worse, with both her mother and Sunset being caught off guard by her newfound hostility.
44	* LightningBruiser: This being Rainbow Dash, speed is key. [[spoiler:Becomes this literally in her demon form, being able to conjure lightning.]]
45	* ObfuscatingStupidity: While clearly lacking in some fields with her school work, Dash has shown on several occasions that she's nowhere near as stupid as others seem to think or her temper tends to portray.
46	* SecretIdentity: Following Sunset's recommendation, she decides to use [[spoiler:Marred Spectrum]] as her public alias.
47	* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Often uses this when teased about her friendship with Sunset. Oddly, no one seems to buy it.
48	* TalkingToThemself: Dash takes her turn to have a talk with her subconscious after the Power Plant incident, with it taking the form of Sunset. They're unable to have an actual conversation about [[spoiler:new demon powers]] however, instead constantly getting off-subject and squabbling with each other until they're shouting at each other to shut up.
49	--> '''Subconcious!Rainbow''': ''YOU’RE TALKING TO YOURSELF RIGHT NOW!''
50	* UndyingLoyalty: Towards Sunset, with the two of them being TrueCompanions. [[spoiler:Even when in a demonic rampage, she's unable to bring herself to harm Sunset in any way.]]
51	* WoundThatWillNotHeal: After the events of chapter 6, [[spoiler: she's left with a dullness in coloring and two scars across her mouth.]]

54	[[folder:General]]
55	[[/folder]]
56
57	[[folder:The Crusaders]]
58	The masterminds behind Anon-a-Miss.
59	!General
60	* BrattyHalfPint: Ruined Sunset and Rainbow's lives because they didn't like Sunset.
61	* DirtyCoward: Save for Sweetie Belle, they lie to avoid responsibility for almost getting two students killed.
62	* ObfuscatingStupidity: Play dumb when caught except for Sweetie Belle.
63	!Apple Bloom
64	!Scootaloo
65	* SmugSnake: She has an appallingly low opinion of Rainbow, smugly declaring in Chapter 8 that she would have left Sunset by now. She says this after Rainbow and Sunset have been attacked and neither has showed up at school.
66	!Sweetie Belle
67	* KnowWhenToFoldEm: When called into Celestia's office she just tells the truth rather than lie.
68	[[/folder]]
69
70	[[folder:The Humane Four]]
71	The remainder of Sunset and Dash's old friend group.
72	!General
73	* FairWeatherFriend: When Anon-A-Miss kicks off they don't stick around for very long.
74	!Applejack
75	* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Forgot that her sister told Sunset her EmbarrassingNickname before Anon-A-Miss went up. [[spoiler:With Sour Sweet having the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsForgottenFriendship Memory Stone]], this may not be a coincidence.]]
76	!Fluttershy
77	* MeeknessIsWeakness: [[spoiler:She suspected that something was wrong with Anon-A-Miss when Rainbow sided with Sunset but was too afraid to speak up to the rest of her friends after seeing their anger.]]
78	* ShrinkingViolet: It's ''Fluttershy'', this trope is a given. [[spoiler:See MeeknessIsWeakness to see how this bites her.]]
79	!Pinkie Pie
80	* NoSocialSkills: You wouldn't think that this trope applies to her, yet here it is. Pinkie by and large, can brighten up a room with her parties, but when she is called upon to cheer someone up without one she is clueless because she only understands people, not individuals.
81	!Rarity
82	* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Forgot that Sweetie Belle was in the house during the slumber party before Anon-A-Miss posted her secret. [[spoiler:With Sour Sweet having the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsForgottenFriendship Memory Stone]], this may not be a coincidence.]]
83	[[/folder]]
84
85	[[folder:The Wondercolts Soccer Team]]
86	!General
87	!Fleetfoot
88	* {{Hypocrite}}: Certainly comes off as one when she insults Sunset just after hearing about her being attacked then backpedaling when called out on it.
89	!Misty Fly
90	* AccompliceByInaction: Feels this way about the attack of Rainbow and Sunset because she told them the team couldn't vouch for them when they could have done something to stop it.
91	!Soarin
92	Graduated member of the team and owner of Clipper's Custom Guitars.
93	!Spitfire
94	The graduated, previous captain of the team.

184	* BigBad: To the characters as a whole.

192	* GreaterScopeVillain: As the master of both Bray and Tirek, Grogar is easily this. Spoken of with fear and reverence by others, its shown that even Tirek desperately fears displeasing him.
