10
11Apple Bloom is the "founder" of the Cutie Mark Crusaders and Applejack's younger sister [[spoiler: and possibly daughter.]]
12
13* AssholeVictim: In her debut, she's left without friends, after dumping her only one.
14* ChildrenAreInnocent: Relatively speaking.
15* DeliberatelyCuteChild: Tries to use this to sell apples.
16* GroinAttack: Threatens to do this to Time Turner, if he doesn't buy her apples.
17* EnfantTerrible: Sometimes, like threatening to deliver a groin attack on Time Turner.
18* KickTheDog: When she dumps her only friend Twist, she simply says she hates everything about her and only tried being her friend out of desperation, thinking she might like her more if they knew each other, but only found out she hates her even more after becoming her friend.
19* LackOfEmpathy: Claims children have this trope when threatening Time Turner.
20* OnlySaneMan: Much like Applejack, Apple Bloom is one of the saner ponies in Ponyville, and is becoming quite aware of it.
21* UnwittingPawn: To Sweetie Belle/Thrackerzod.
22
23!Scootaloo
24[[quoteright:167:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/untitled_911.png]]
25 [[caption-width-right:167:"HOO!"]]
26
27A young filly and member of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, who seems to be a little more... interested in others than you would expect from a child.
28
29* AcquaintedWithEmergencyServices: Apparently, all the police know her.
30* CasanovaWannabe: Only ever talks about getting "honey".
31* CatchPhrase: Baby!
32* CloudCuckoolander: The least coherent of the three.
33* DirtyKid: So much.
34* DoubleEntendre: Scootaloo basically makes a language out of it.
35* {{Expy}}: Of Johnny Bravo.
36* FlatCharacter: Only has that one gimmick.
37* HiddenDepths: Scootaloo's a surpisingly fantastic musician for her age, able to put on a winning performance at the talent show...[[IntercourseWithYou even if the song was also advanced for her age]].
38* UnwittingPawn: To Sweetie Belle/Thrackerzod.
39* VerbalTic: Hoo!
40
41!Sweetie Belle/Thrackerzod
42[[quoteright:167:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/untitled_36.png]]
43 [[caption-width-right:167:"I do not want to plummet to my death. Unless that's what normal ponies do.? Because if that's what normal ponies do..." ]]
44
45Rarity's little sister, who may or may not be possessed by a demon like dream creature, named Thrackerzod. Thrackerzod is a creature from the mysterious shadow world, where only dreams may go, and seeks to kill Twilight Sparkle to claim her, because of an unspecified and complex conspiracy/war involving the dream world. She often uses the crusaders to help her learn to better blend in and as pawns in her plans, to little success. Despite this, she has occasionally shown a general attachment to her friends. Due to being possessed, Sweetie Belle's true personality has never been revealed. She is also the only besides Twilight to sense that the universe has rebooted.
46
47%%* BlackSpeech: Can do this.
48* CassandraTruth: Rarity tends to ignore that Sweetie's insistence on being called Thrackerzod and tends to ingnore her sisters, unusual behavior.
49--> Fluttershy: Why does Sweetie Belle insist on being called Thrackerzod?
50--> Rarity: I don't know, she's done that for as long as I could remember. It's just silly nickname she came up with.
51* {{Conspiracy}}: She and many other dark entities, are apparently part of a conspiracy involving Twilight's soul.
52* DemonicPossession: Thrackerzod is a demon that has taken over Sweetie's body. Or alternately, she may have reincarnated as this series' Sweetie Belle.
53* DreamWalker: She may be one of these.
54* DoubleEntendre: She is going to pray so hard, when they pull that lever.
55* EarlyBirdCameo:
56** Twilight comes across Thrackerzod in her attic, a couple episodes before he/she's revealed to be in Sweetie's form.
57** In the remake of the same episode, she appears alongside Rarity wondering where Twilight is...
58* EldritchAbomination: While in Twilight's basement, Twilight describes her as a half-rat and half-cricket shadowy thing with a pony face.
59* EvenEvilHasStandards: Thrackerzod calls Orion out, for calling Aurora fat.
60* EvilGod: Possibly. It's not clear where she stands on the evil hierarchy.
61* EvilSoundsDeep: She has a particularly deep voice for a little filly, even by this shows standards.
62* HiddenAgendaVillain: It's not clear what her goals are, but it probably involves killing Twilight Sparkle, and it definitely involves other demonic deities.
63* HughMann: Or would it be Poe Nee? Whatever the case, half of her dialogue consists of her claiming to be a perfectly normal pony and doing perfectly normal pony things.
64* IHaveManyNames: Thracks states this, when the Crusaders first meet. Her family also knows her, as Sweetie Belle.
65* MoralityPets: Her fellow crusaders may be something like this.
66* MostDefinitelyNotaVillain: She is not exactly good at hiding that she is not a normal pony. Not that anyone notices.
67* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: "I wish to know all that you know about the ritual of child sacrifice." and "There are many things you should fear in the dark."
68* OnlySaneMan / StraightMan: She's a shadow demon thing, who barely understands anything about normal ponies, but still is the sanest member of the group.
69* PaperThinDisguise: Thrackerzod is very bad at blending in. Luckily, there's no sane/caring ponies to notice.
70* PetTheDog: She's apparently aware of the series reboot. What does she do? Finds Apple Bloom so they can reform the Crusaders.
71* RippleEffectProofMemory: She knows the series rebooted.
72* UnknownRival: Twilight has absolutely no idea that this demon has been plotting against her.
73* VillainProtagonist: Thrackerzod is a demon who constantly tries to kill Twilight and rope the other crusaders in her plans.
74* VocalDissonance: With most characters, but her in particular. Justified, because she's a interdenominational being, who just took the form of a young filly.
75* WellIntentionedExtremist: Is hinted to be this.

78[[folder: Princesses]]
79
80!Princess Celestia
81[[quoteright:167:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/untitled_67.png]]
82 [[caption-width-right:167:"Oh Twilight, if I was a lesser pony, I'd be furious with you. How lucky for us both that I am a god."]]
83
84The "benevolent" God Queen Tyrant of Equestria and older sister to Princess Luna. Celestia is Twilight's (abusive) teacher, routinely putting her student through cruel punishments, like making shoving stuff up her butt and destroying her prized toy, before making her write a long essay about what she learned from Celestia destroying her toy. Celestia is believed to be a god among ponies, who can strike them down and do as please, while having to face no retractions herself. She is feared by many across Equestria and has been shown to be very unpredictable and sadistic.
85
86* AGodAmI: She says she is this and the ponies seem to believe her.
87* AffablyEvil: She was able to have a polite conversation with Fluttershy.
88* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Among her many crimes, she has salted lands, committed genocide, physiologically abused her student, committed inhumane acts of torture, and shoved stuff up ponies' butts.
89* AxCrazy: Though she is capable of appearing civil and even friendly, you really don't want to mess with her.
90* BigBad: The closest we have. Considering not only is she a cruel and sadistic tyrant, but she also scarred Twilight for life, and is arguably responsible for the latter’s bitter and cynical attitude.
91* BrokenPedestal: Twilight implies that she genuinely looked up to her, while telling her "Cutie Mark Story" to the Crusaders. But as we all know, now she mostly serves her out of fear.
92--> Twilight: That was back before I knew her. (Changes to more depressed tone) I really wish I'd known her back then.
93* TheCaligula: Definitely has this vibe.
94* CruelAndUnusualDeath: A big fan.
95* TheCynic: Her speech at the beginning of ''Spiderses''- The story, not the actual episode- shows that she has.. a very interesting view on life.
96* DarkAndTroubledPast: "The Star in Yellow" implies that [[spoiler: as a child she (possibly unintentionally) brainwashed their hometown to hate her sister, turning their mother into an AbusiveParent, pushing young Luna so far that she reached out and summoned... ''[[EldritchAbomination something]]'' to act as her father and give her some self-confidence. That thing used them to cause some sort of calamity that led to their mother being killed.]]
97* DeathWish: Possibly alluded to. See SanitySlippage below.
98* DisproportionateRetribution: She poured molten silver down her adviser's throat for warning another adviser that he was going to be executed. Then, she poured molten silver in said adviser's ears before his execution.
99* TheDreaded: Without a doubt, she's the most feared pony in existence.
100* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Though we do not get to see much of their relationship, she at least seems to tolerate Luna's antics. For her, that's saying something.
101** According to Twilight, she makes sure her pet phoenix Philomena is taking care of by a qualified phoenix handler.
102* EvilBrit: She is portrayed with a deep Cockney accent and is evil.
103* EvilLaugh: Lets out an especially disturbing one after [[spoiler: trapping Big Mac and Twilight in a book.]]
104* EvilMentor: To Twilight.
105* EvilOverlord: She's the Benevolent God Queen Tyrant of Equistria.
106* EvilSoundsDeep: Is the most intimadating pony in the land and has a voice that reflects it.
107* FauxAffablyEvil: She has a not-so-well-veiled aura of politeness.
108* ForTheEvulz: Her actions in Rainbow Dash Presents seem to be motivated purely out of sadism.
109* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: Is implied to have this dynamic with Luna. Though Luna seems more vocal about it.
110* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Well, she's technically a princess, (Though sometimes she is referred to as the queen.) but the results are still the same.
111* HiddenDepths: She's shown to be surprisingly insightful, despite her insanity. Particularly, while talking with Fluttershy, when she briefly laments the cycle of life, after Philomena is brought up.
112** She also laminates on how the simple things of a child, [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall can be turned into much more, in the minds of adults,]] at the end of RDP: Yellow Star
113* HostileShowTakeover: Takes over ''Rainbow Dash Presents'' for an episode. Partially subverted, as Rainbow willingly-and probably wisely-lets her host, without any arguments.
114* InTheBack: She announces her presence to the Jokermort, with a magic blast in the back, while he is trying to make off with the Elements.
115* ItRunsInTheFamily: Luna apparently thinks Celestia gets her AxCrazy Tyrannical side, from their mother. If "The Star in Yellow" is anything to go by, [[spoiler: this is inverted, as their mother [[BrainwashedAndCrazy got this behavior from Celestia]].]]
116* ItsThePrincipleOfTheThing: After Fluttershy tries to explain her good intention for taking Celestia's bird, Celestia says she actually doesn't care. But she has a reputation to uphold. [[spoiler: Cut to Fluttershy in a cage, in the Everfree.]]
117* {{Jerkass}}: At her ''best'', she's this.
118* KarmaHoudini: She has never had to face any consequences for her action.
119* KickTheDog: One time when Twilight was playing with her stuffed bumblebee Mrs. Buzzy, Celestia came, pulled out all of Mrs. Buzzy's stuffing, filled her full of sliced bread, said, "There. Mrs. Buzzy isn't real!" and forced Twilight to write a 300-page essay explaining what that proved.
120-->'''Twilight''': And I didn't KNOW! ''(cries)''
121* KnightOfCerebus: ''Especially'' in Rainbow Dash Presents.
122* {{Leitmotif}}: Has very distinct theme, that corresponds to the OhCrap moment ponies usually have, when she appears.
123* LightIsNotGood: Celestia still appears as a elegant, pearly white alicorn with rainbow flowing mane. She is definitely not good.
124* PetTheDog: She is one of the few to have a polite and friendly discussion with Fluttershy.
125* PhysicalGod: Believed to be this.
126* SadistTeacher: She made Twilight dissect a dog, just because Twilight wanted a puppy.
127* {{Sadist}}: According to Twilight, she has a ''fetish'' for sadism.
128* SanitySlippage: In ''RD Presents: Spiderses'', she briefly implies that she might have went unhinged years ago and [[DeathWish someone should overthrow her, before her madness consumes Equestria.]]
129* TheSociopath: The only real explanation for all things she does.
130* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Somewhat. Everyone knows she is to be feared, but still seems to keep a good image.
131* VocalDissonance: It may be surprising to hear that she sounds like an East End crime lord.
132* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: This may be the source of her cruelty. See SanitySlippage above.
133
134!Luna
135[[quoteright:168:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/untitled_640.png]]
136 [[caption-width-right:168:"How else am I supposed to get you to dress as a banana!" ]]
137!!!!!![[caption-width-right:317:Click [[labelnote:here]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/untitled_81.png [[/labelnote]] to see her as Nightmare Moon]]
138Celestia's younger sister, who long ago became Nightmare Moon and rebelled against Celestia.
139
140* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: To Celestia. Partially out of envy and pent up resentment.
141* AxCrazy: Her attempts to have "fun" with the cast, mostly amount to torture.
142* CainAndAbel: Cain to Celestia's Abel. Unusually, in this case, Luna is presented as the more sympathetic of the two.
143* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Tries to get Celestia to dress up as a banana, as part of their national budget negotiations.
144* CombatTentacles: Briefly uses a shadowy one to knock Twilight across the room.
145* CripplingOverspecialization: How Twilight defeats her, after she erected a beerier that's impermeable to Twilight's strongest spells. Twilight simply throws one of the still petrified elements at her head, knocking her out.
146* DarkAndTroubledPast: "The Star in Yellow" implies that [[spoiler: her sister (possibly unintentionally) brainwashed their hometown to hate her as a child, turning their mother into an AbusiveParent, pushing her so far that she reached out and summoned... ''[[EldritchAbomination something]]'' to act as her father and give her some self-confidence. That thing used them to cause some sort of calamity that led to their mother being killed.]]
147* DarkIsNotEvil: Zigzagged, she is not intentionally evil, but she is not exactly a good guy either.
148* DeadPanSnarker: Briefly shows a snarky side, after Celestia is left temporally blinded, during the Jokermort's robbery.
149* DemotedToExtra: Since the pilot was skipped, she has only appeared in RDP and a brief short.
150* {{Foil}}: To Celestia.
151* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: She seems to resent her sister, even after Nightmare Moon is purged from her.
152* IJustWantToBeLoved: She is mostly upset that no ones thinks of her, but is too crazy to interact well.
153* HarmlessVillain: At least at the beginning, her attempts to "fight" The Elements amount to her trying to annoy them until they give up.
154* HiddenDepths: The pilot for the canceled ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'' parody, seems to imply that she may know more than she lets on and even after her defeat, is not completely subservient to Celestia, like other ponies.
155* HostileShowTakeover: Takes over ''Rainbow Dash Presents'' for an episode. The cast lampshade that Celestia already did this.
156* LazyBum: While the Jokermort is robbing the castle, she barely takes a second to consider going after him, before going back to her drawing. Though, this is just as likely out of spite, to Celestia.
157* NightmareFuelColoringBook : She is seen drawing a picture of a pony being hanged, during the Equestria Primates Pilot.
158* ObliviouslyEvil: She doesn't mean any harm, she just doesn't know how dangerous her idea of "fun" is. Coupled with her temperamental attitude and inability to take rejection, and she comes across as very scary to others.
159* SillyReasonForWar: She became Nightmare Moon and rebelled against Celestia because the latter refused to put on a banana costume. [[spoiler: Though if Star in Yellow is to be believed, Celestia not humoring her idea may have just been the thorn that broke the camel's back]]
160* SouthernBelle: This is apparently what Greg was going for, but he apparently is not that good with southern accents. But funny enough, by sure accident, he managed to use an old Southern Accent, that is no longer widely used.
161[[/folder]]

172
173!Big Mac
174[[quoteright:166:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/untitled_19.png]]
175 [[caption-width-right:167:"Well, I'll be honest, I'm only good at two things. One is heavy lifting, and the other...well, anyone will tell you they don't call me Big Mac for nothing." ]]
176
177The older brother to both Applejack and Applebloom.
178
179* BiggerIsBetterInBed: They don't call him '''Big''' Mac for nothing.
180* BrotherSisterIncest: Implied between him and Applejack.
181* ButtMonkey: Ponies rarely mention him in a positive way and Celestia torments him in Spideres, along with Twilight ForTheEvulz.
182* NiceGuy[=/=]GentleGiant: He seems like a pretty reasonable guy.
183* ReallyGetsAround: Has apparently slept with many mares and stallions.
184* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Applejack's red.
185
186!Trixie Lulamoon
187[[quoteright:168:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/untitled_04.png]]
188 [[caption-width-right:167:"Come, everypony, to the great, the powerful, Tricksy Shoe...show. Oh shoot, did I write that?" ]]
189The daughter of two accomplished stage performers, Trixie's parents where gunned down in the alleyway, while leaving their latest show. The culprit: A disgruntled theater critic. Since then, Trixie Lulamoon has sworn to try and uphold her parents' legacy. Until one fateful day, a bunch of jerks started interrupting her show for no reason other then showing off in her own show.
190
191* BadBadActing: Her voice isn't on that fitting.
192* {{Expy}}: Of BATMAN of all things.
193* LargeHam: Speaks dramatically in a Batman like voice. Justified as she is a performer.
194* VocalDissonance: She sounds like the Batman.
195
196!Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon
197[[quoteright:168:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/untitled_65.png]]
198 [[caption-width-right:168:Silver Spoon on top, Diamond Tiara on bottom]]
199 [[caption-width-right:167:Silver Spoon: "I don't even really like boy bands but I know that society expects me to because of my gender and age. So I just follow the rules. And Diamond Tiara likes them." ]]
200The local bullies.
201
202* AdaptationalHeroism: They're a lot more likable than their canon counterparts.
203* AlphaBitch: The head of the two school bullies.
204* FriendlyEnemy: Their relationship with Apple Bloom, seems more like a rivalry than just malicious bullying. Diamond Tiara even hinted that she was considering Apple Bloom to be her enforcer someday.
205* GirlsWithMustaches: Diamond Tiara.
206* HarmlessVillain: They ''try'' to bully Apple Bloom, but she quickly turns the tables on them. They decide to bully Twist instead after hearing she prefers someone other than the conventional choice in the boy band everyone listens to.
207* SatelliteCharacter: Silver Spoon. Just to rub it in, her cutie mark is literally a picture of Diamond Tiara.
208** Worse, it's actually live video feed of Diamond Tiara. It changed position and blinks when she does in several scenes.
209
210!Cheerilee
211
212The local teacher at CMC's school and rabid supporter of Celestia's regime.
213
214* EvilTeacher: Well not ''exactly'' evil, she does seem more interested in shooting off her praises for Celestia "victories", than actually teaching her students.
215* PaletteSwap: A nearly identical pegasus appears RDP: Captain Hook The Biker Gorilla. This even is LampShaded by Rainbow herself.
216* PatrioticFervor: She seems to be on the "Patriotism is bad" side of the trope.
217* PoliticallyMotivatedTeacher: She talks more like PropagandaMachine, than a teacher.
218
219!Zecora
220[[quoteright:167:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/untitled_653.png]]
221 [[caption-width-right:167:"The cure is nudity!"]]
222
223A local Zebra and voodoo expert.
224
225* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler: ''Might'' be dead after Twilight used Rainbow Dash to attack her in the reboot series.]]
226* KarmaHoudini: Was never punished for cursing the Mane Six. Though, considering their actions, no one can really hate her too much.
227* KickTheSonOfABitch: She cursed the Mane Six, who are mostly a bunch of {{Jerkass}}es that were going to harass her [[FantasticRacism for being a zebra]].
228* OutOfFocus: Hardly appears at all in 'her' episode, and most of that episode is spent talking about Mrs. Cake cheating on Mr. Cake, with only Pinkie even caring about Zecora. [[spoiler: Then she probably died.]]
229* SpannerInTheWorks: Her horsing around (no pun intended) interferes with Thrackerzod's argument with the demon possessing Twilight, causing them to hastily cover up with a pretense of playing pretend to finish negotiating.
230
231!Photo Finish
232[[quoteright:168:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/untitled_203.png]]
233A photographer and fashion star, who took advantage of Fluttershy's ExtremeDoormat and other emotional problems, to make her a fashion star.
234
235* BadBoss: Puts Fluttershy on an '''inhumane''' work schedule and doesn't seem to care that it is destroying her.
236* {{Greed}}: Her defining motive for what she does to Fluttershy.
237* JerkAss: She is basically cannon!Photo Finish, if all her negative qualities were TakenUpTo11.
238* KarmaHoudini: In both the original and the negative episode.
239* KickTheDog: In the original, she makes Fluttershy pay back all the money they payed her ''and the money they spent on her show.''
240* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Or whatever that is, that comes out of her mouth.
241
242!Hastur "The King in Yellow"
243[[quoteright:168:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/untitled_30.png]]
244Thrackerzod's partner/possible superior, he is mysterious deity who is part of a conspiracy with unseen forces, that somehow relates to the fate of Twilight Sparkle.
245
246* AmbiguouslyEvil: The true nature of him and the conspiracy, is yet to be revealed, but he seems nice enough.
247* BadassLongRobe: Well, as Badass as a yellow cloak can look. (That is still pretty Badass.)
248* BlackCloak: Subverted. It's a yellow cloak and much his true nature is left ambiguous.
249* BlackSpeech: Similar to Thrakerzod, only he speaks in this all the time. Though, the others steal seem to understand him.
250* TheConspiracy: Somehow linked to the one involving the dream world, Thrackerzod, and Twilight's destiny.
251* DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu: In the reboot of his debut episode, he actually helps Fluttershy host the Crusader's slumber party, without much complaint.
252* PhysicalGod: He might be one, though it is up for debate now.
253* ShipTease: After the end credits, Greg admits, that he's considering pairing him with Fluttershy, after a few of his viewers came up with the idea.
254* SummoningRitual: Thrakerzod does this to bring him to Fluttershy's house by sacrificing a chicken. Though Fluttershy saves the chicken, just as Hastur is being summoned with no apparent effect. So, this may just be Thrack being Thrack.
255
256!Angel Bunny
257
258Fluttershy's pet rabbit.
259
260* {{Jerkass}}: Is not particularity nice to his "owner" and creepily enough, even forces her to let him watch her shower.
261* TheVoiceless: Well he is a rabbit...
262
263!Twilight Velvet
264
265Twilight's unseen mom.
266
267* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: She asks her ''daughter'' for medical advice involving her and her husband’s sex life.
268* ParentalSubstitute: Implied to be this to Spike.
269* TheUnseen: Is yet to physically appear.
270* SupremeChef: Spike seems to think so.
271
272!Starlight Glimmer
273[[quoteright:167:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/untitled_34.png]]
274 [[caption-width-right:167: I was worried you wouldn't ask me about my tragic backstory!]]
275
276
277A unicorn who tried to mess up the timeline, in order to get back at Twilight and her friends.
278
279* BrokenPedestal: Turns out that childhood friend that moved away, causing her StartOfDarkness, went to school with Twilight. [[spoiler: He was only considered mildly attractive-a '7 out of 10' according to Twilight-and that was ''before'' he contracted herpes.]] Starlight is very disappointed and turns down Twilight's offer to re-introduce her to him.
280* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: She is sentenced to six consecutive life sentences, as friend to the Elements of Harmony.
281--> Starlight: "When you put it like that, it almost sounds like some sort of punishment."
282--> Twilight: (''Deadpanned'') "Wednesday is Monopoly night. Bring a bottle of Scotch and trash bag."
283* DisproportionateRetribution: She started a cult and tried to ''destroy time itself'', because an old child hood friend moved away [[spoiler: and she thought he was going to grow up to be hot.]]
284* EasilyForgiven: She thinks this she is going to be forgiven as easily as her canon counterpart and become friends with Twilight. Only for Twilight to subvert this. Though, her punishment ''was'' being their friend....
285* FreudianExcuse: The whole point of her short is deconstructing Cannon!Starlight's excuse.
286* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: When Starlight tries to invoke easy forgiveness, Twilight is ''not'' having any of her crap.
287---> Twilight: "Lets recap. You started a cult, stole my Cutie Mark, broke into my tree.. castle thing, and ''just tried to destroy time itself''. No, I can't let this go."
288* ShutUpHannibal: Twilight tries to do this, when Starlight is about to tell her ''terrible'' origin story.

294

298* AffablyEvil: Friendly enough that it's almost hard to remember he's supposed to be a bad guy.
299* BaitAndSwitch: Were you expecting Discord? Well, we got this weirdo instead.
300* BigBad: Of the season 2 premiere.
301* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He seems very off. Just look at his quote.
302* CreepyCrossdresser: Wears Twilight's gala gown as a way to show dominance, and never takes it off afterwards.
303* LargeHam: Milks his screen time for all that it's worth.
304* TakenForGranite: His fate prior to being freed. And then he willingly lets Twilight and her friends just to it to him again.
305* YellowEyesOfSneakiness: He's very sneaky and schemes a lot.

317----
318* ADayInTheLimelight: The first Rainbow Dash Presents episode centers around her... [[HijackedByGanon until Rainbow Dash winds up hijacking it, anyway.]]
319* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Subverted. Dinky treats her like this, even though Derpy never does anything particularly embarrassing in public.
320* TheDitz: She ''is'' Derpy. For example, she somehow gets her head stuck in the kitchen sink.
321* ExtremeDoormat: She seems to let her daughter boss her around.
322* ParentalIssues: With her mother, possibly do to EducationMama tendencies and being less than accepting of her daughter's mental issues. If her daughter's blog is anything to go by, this has not only carried into adulthood, but her mother also seems to be repeating the process with Dinky.
323* PottyFailure: Once peed herself during class.
324* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: As a filly in ''RDP: Bubbles''.
325* SilentBob: Is yet to have a single line of dialogue.
326
327!Dinky
328[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/untitled_13.png]]
329[[caption-width-right:250:"Mom! Everyone can see you! Here, hide behind this bush."]]
330-->''"Life is like Jenga. No, no, listen! You're supposed to pull out these blocks, and the blocks on the bottom are the most important, but... all anyone ever cares about is whether or not the blocks on the top are gonna fall over."''
331
332Derpy's unicorn daughter.
333
334----
335* ADayInTheLimelight: In her short lived [=DinkySharkFighter32=] vlogs.
336* BrattyHalfPint: She pushes her mother around and doesn't appear to be a very pleasant child.
337* JerkAss: She is so embarrassed by her mother's mere presence that she ''makes her hide'' whenever anyone is nearby.
338* ParentalIssues: Her and her mother obviously have these.
339* SixthRanger: To the Cutie Mark Crusaders in ''RDP: Bittersweet''.
340* TheFriendNobodyLikes: The only reason Apple Bloom's even hanging out with her is because Applejack grounded her from hanging out with Scootaloo. Thrackerzod is also less-than-impressed that Dinky is replacing them.
341* UngratefulBastard: She once again tries to make Derpy hide, ''after she had come to save her daughter''.
342
343!Aurora Dawn
344[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/untitled_814.png]]
345[[caption-width-right:250:[[MadeOfPlasticine *wing falls off*]]]]
346-->''"OH MY GAWD THEY'RE GOING TO GRIND US INTO RAINBOWS!"''
347-->[Beat]
348-->''"EVERYBODY PANIC!"''
349
350One of the students who failed the flight exam after both her wings broke for no reason whatsoever.
351
352----
353* AdorablyPrecociousChild: In both Investment Losses and Enunciation Emergency. In the former, she tries to convince her mother to buy a box of cereal using sales jargon. In the latter, she sings about politics and economics.
354* ButtMonkey: The rules of reality seem to turn off just so she can fail her exam and get sent to the Fanfic/RainbowFactory, and when everyone decides to parody Willy Wonka, she is labeled the fat kid for no reason.
355** Her mom accidentally abandons her at the grocery store in Investment Losses.
356* DayInTheLimelight: She was given her own short and her own song.
357* NoIndoorVoice: She yells every other sentence.
358* NoSenseOfDirection / DudeWheresOurCar: Shown in Investment Losses where she mistakenly believes that her Mom had left for the embroidering store without her due to the fact that their wagon is gone... despite the fact that she is looking in the wrong parking space for the wagon: which is still in the parking lot and directly behind her.
359* SparedByTheAdaptation: Survives the ''Rainbow Factory'' adaptation.
360* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: She sounds like Bill Cosby if he had no indoor voice.
361
362!Orion “OC” Comet
363[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/untitled_700.png]]
364[[caption-width-right:250:(Morally Outraged)]]
365-->''"I don't try to understand the fillies in my life. I just enjoy their company."''
366
367Another flight student who failed the exam. Is in love with Scootaloo for some reason.
368
369----
370* AdaptationalJerkass: The Orion from the original story was willing to call out the entire Flock for failing Aurora Dawn on a medical problem and not bothering to spare her fate, and was willing to intentionally flunk the Flight Exam to go help her out. This Orion while claiming to have issues with everyone picking on Aurora after she fell; doesn't even bother to raise a hoof to go help her out and spends the rest of the video berating and taunting Aurora by calling her fat or claiming that she has Pony AIDS.
371* [[LikeParentLikeSpouse Like Parent, Like Love Interest]]: Scootaloo reminds him a lot of his mother. There's even a strong resemblance between the two.
372* MeaningfulName: Tells ponies they can call him OC for short. He is a fan OC, after all.
373** MeaningfulRename: He was only known as Orion in the original fic.
374* TheOneGuy: The only male in the main group of characters.
375* SparedByTheAdaptation: Survives the ''Rainbow Factory'' adaptation. Just barely.
376* StrawCharacter: Constantly complains about how everything the group encounters over the course of the Rainbow Factory story is morally outrageous, like a stereotypical soap box speaker. He's not exactly wrong, though...
377* TokenRomance: He shares a mutual love with Scootaloo, despite the two of them barely knowing each other.
378
379!Surprise/Willy Wonka/Pogo The Clown
380[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/untitled_1133.png]]
381[[caption-width-right:250:[[BlatantLies You can trust her!]]]]
382-->''"[[ConditionedToAcceptHorror Man, get over it. After a few of these, it's like nothing.]] Sure, you stay up late at night thinking about how your family would think of you, and you wonder what Pony Hell is gonna be like, but... other than that, it's no big deal."''
383
384The tour guide and chief engineer of the Rainbow Factory. Surprise reluctantly takes part in the atrocities committed within the facility, repeatedly showing guilt about her actions and only participating due to a belief that what they do is a burden that they must bear. She does everything she can to help ease her supervisor, Rainbow Dash (who took the position without knowing what she would actually be doing) into doing her new job.
385
386----
387* AffablyEvil: Tries to make sure the children sent to the factory don't find out what's truly going to happen so they can at least have a few more moments of peace. She also shows a lot of compassion and understanding to Rainbow Dash's fears of going through with her job, and tries to help her slowly adjust to it.
388* TheDragon: Seems to be second-in-command at the Rainbow Factory.
389* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After [[spoiler:TheReveal that they didn't actually need the foals to create rainbows, she laments that they’re going to Pony Hell for nothing.]]
390* NecessaryEvil: How she views murdering the foals sent to the factory.
391-->"If we don't do this now, it's gonna be us in that thing!"
392* NobleDemon: Takes no joy in killing and is only willing to go through with her work because she believes it’s necessary. She even confesses to Rainbow Dash that she worries about what her family would think of her if they found out what she was doing and often wonders what Pony Hell is like.
393* NoNameGiven: She's obviously Surprise (Pinkie's G1 counterpart), but she's never actually referred to by name except for in the end credits.
394* VillainSong: While explaining why the Rainbow Factory is necessary, Latino style.
395* TheWonka: Puts on this persona, until Thrackerzod points out that Willy Wonka kills the children in the original story. She quickly switches to a clown.
396
397!Harry Wayne
398[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/untitled_29.png]]
399[[caption-width-right:250:The Bat Who Lived]]

401
402Rainbow Dash's adoptive father in ''RDP: Fanfic/MyLittleDashie''.
403
404----
405* AbusiveParents: Though not intentional on his part, ''RDP'' makes sure to {{Deconstruction}} how fear-mongering in order to keep a child indoors, cutting her off from the outside world completely, and only feeding her carrots and sugar cubes can negatively affect her. Even the Jokermort calls him out on this.
406* CloudCuckooLander: When he finally scolds the Jokermort near the end of the story, it isn't for kidnapping his daughter, [[DoWrongRight but for not following through with a proper kidnapping.]]
407-->"This acid isn't even lukewarm. It's room temperature!"
408* {{Expy}}: Of Franchise/{{Batman}} and Franchise/HarryPotter.
409* FriendlyEnemies: Though not much of their relationship is shown, he seems oddly comfortable around the Jokermort.
410* HeroicWannabe: His introduction shows him apprehending someone because he ''thinks'' the guy did something wrong, without actual evidence. He's also deep in poverty because he spent all his money on hero gear and a bat-themed car.
411** [[spoiler: It's eventually revealed that he really lost his family to AIDS and took his problems out on crime because he couldn't come to terms with it.]]
412* InsistentTerminology: He prefers to be recognized as The Bat Who Lived.
413* ParentalSubstitute: To Rainbow Dash, in the ''RDP'' version of ''Fanfic/MyLittleDashie''.
414* PerpetualPoverty: RDP deconstructs how financially-divesting being Batman would be, even for someone that was left with a lot of money.
415
416!The Jokermort
417[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/untitled_92.png]]
418[[caption-width-right:250:"You know, I've always hated your father."]]

422

425* ArchEnemy: To Harry, though we never find out exactly why.
426* AxCrazy: Despite his surprisingly friendly demeanor, he still runs around committing random acts of violence ForTheEvulz.
427* BackFromTheDead: Although Rainbow Dash says that he died after she left the "ape world", he not only comes back, but somehow makes it to Equestria in the ''Equestria Primates'' pilot.
428* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: In the pilot for the (sadly cancelled) ''Primates of Equestria'' spin off; he becomes the first to do any real damage to Celestia, when [[spoiler: she grabs him in her aura, only to reveal she also caught smoke pellets he was using to make his getaway, which proceed to go off in her eyes. This leaves her blinded for the rest of the episode.]]
429* EvenEvilHasStandards: He sympathizes with Rainbow's situation, because he knows what it's like for society to constantly cross-examine you and your actions.
430* {{Expy}}: Of both the Joker and Lord Voldemort.
431* FriendlyEnemies: With The Bat Who Lived.
432* InterspeciesRomance: [[spoiler: With Rainbow Dash.]]
433* JerkassHasAPoint: He makes a very valid argument that maybe, ''just maybe'', Rainbow Dash shouldn't be cared for by someone who has serious emotional problems, knows almost nothing about horses, is scarred from the death of his parents, and doesn't have any money.
434* MechaMooks: Builds an army of robotic Rainbow Dashes after the story. [[spoiler: He sadly dies of heavy metal poisoning soon after.]]
435* OmnicidalManiac: [[spoiler: Tries to turn the entire ape race into ponies so he can finally be together with Rainbow Dash.]]
436** [[spoiler: He succeeds, but Dash had already returned to her reality at that point, making the victory meaningless.]]
437* WhatTheHellHero: He calls Bats out for isolating his adopted daughter from the rest of the world.

452* NiceGirl: Is very kind to Rainbow Dash.
453* OnlyFriend: She is the only one outside of Harry who knows about Rainbow for most of her childhood. The two are often seen hanging out together in their backyards.
454* OverlyLongName: Her full name is Lefonda Delronda Bafonya Washington.
455* PinkMeansFeminine: She's always wearing pinks and purples, and her entire room is painted pink.
456* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Brushes off Rainbow Dash's concerns about Jokermort killing other monkeys by saying "that's just what men do".
457-->"I told you about my man David, right? He said he killed some fool last week for makin' fun of the rims on his car. They were all like, 'Oh hey, nice rim job!', [DisproportionateRetribution and David shot 'em.]

476** Other tentacles also spring up out of the bathroom toilet for some reason.
477* DemonicPossession: Takes control of Twilight during the story.
478* EldritchAbomination: It's never explained what this thing is exactly, except for Thrackerzod being familiar with it. It's implied that this mysterious being may be another link with TheConspiracy involving the dream world.
479** It's plan with Twilight involved seeking "the highest star such that she may be devoured and allowed to reproduce." [[NothingIsScarier Whatever that means...]]
480* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Gives these to Twilight.

492
493----
494* AuthorAvatar: Zigzagged. It's obvious she's a stand-in for Celestia, but unlike the original fanfiction, it is never outright stated that she was created by her.
495* BitchInSheepsClothing: She's introduced as a sweet, pretty, and perfect young filly. [[spoiler: In reality she's manipulative, underhanded, and implied to be some sort of EldritchAbomination trying to summon an even greater evil into the world.]]

500* ParodySue: Just like the original story.
501* UnreliableNarrator: When Twilight runs into a scratched out part of the book, [[spoiler: she immediately tries to talk her into just skipping that part]]. On top of that, the story seems overwhelmingly biased towards her, making you wonder how much of the story can actually be believed.
