6
7	!!Xvital
8
9	An ahuizotless from the Cuanmiztl Kingdom, and the new Bearer of Magic.
10
11	----
12	* EmbodimentOfVirtue: Like Twilight Sparkle before her, she represents a social virtue. As the Element of Magic, she is the balance that acts as a bridge between the other five.
13	* FurryReminder: Xvital, being a feline species, tends to curl up like a cat and make mewing sounds.
14	* GratuitousSpanish: She occasionally slips into Burroñeso (read: Spanish) when exasperated.
15	* TheLeader: Of the new Bearers, a position she finds herself falling into even before all of the others get their Elements.
16	* MasterForger: Xvital is one, plotting to steal and sell valuable scrolls from the Canterlot Library after switching them out for otherwise identical forgeries.
17	* OneNoteCook: Xvital describes Pozole, a stew made of a base of cooked hominy in broth (with either meat or beans) and assorted garnishes, as "something from back home that even ''I'' can cook". She admits in the sequel that it's really ''all'' she can make.
18	* PlayingWithFire: Xvital gains this ability when she gains magic; in the days after, it's noted that she has trouble with accidentally creating fire in her sleep.
19	* PowerFist: Xvital's other preferred weapon, as she wears a pair of knuckledusters on her main hands.
20	* PrehensileTail: Like all ahuizotls, she has a tail-hand which she often uses to hold a knife.
21	* PurpleIsPowerful: Xvital's outer coat is purple. Right after awakening her Element of Magic, her new magic is also violet-colored.
22	* RunawayBride: Thanks to her disapproving would-be mother-in-law discovering her past as a thief and thinking her intended would hate her for it, Xvital fled just hours before her wedding to Prince-King Tizoc of the Cuanmiztl Kingdom. They eventually get back together, since he knew her secret the whole time and still loves her.
23	* UnusualEuphemism: Xvital occasionally uses Mictlan, the Aztec underworld, as a curse.
24
25	!!Night Blade
26
27	A nox pony, or bat pony, from Canterlot, and the new Bearer of Loyalty.
28
29	----
30	* AmbiguouslyBi: In the second fic, Night Blade suggests he might be interested in another male if Page gave him permission to be. Wind Breaker's not sure if he's joking or serious.
31	* AncestralWeapon: ''Determined Point'', passed down from parent to child or brother to brother for years, until it breaks in battle with Sharp Point.
32	* CoolSword: Both Determined Point and the Masamane sword he replaced it with.
33	* DualWielding: During the battle in chapter 44, Night Blade begins using both his sword and sheath as weapons.
34	* EmbodimentOfVirtue: Like Rainbow Dash before him, he represents a social virtue. As the Element of Loyalty, he defends and protects the others even at cost to themselves.
35	* FurryReminder: Night Blade, as a batpony, hisses like a bat when things get too bright or too loud.
36	* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Night Blade's self-hatred is tremendous, and it takes a ''lot'' to ultimately convince him that he is ''not'' a bad pony.
37	* HeroesPreferSwords: Sword usage is Night Blade's special talent, and his personal weapon, a gift from his brother Deep Blade, is named [[ICallItVera Determined Point]]. After it [[WreckedWeapon breaks]], he gets a replacement from the Questioning Order's vault, made by the legendary swordsmith Masamane.
38	* ICallItVera: Night Blade's original sword is ''Determined Point''.
39	* InsistentTerminology: Night Blade is a "Nox pony", not a "bat pony".
40	* TheLancer: Night Blade, who tends to butt heads with Xvital and is the polished noble to her rough-and-tumble, streetwise upbringing.
41	* LivingEmotionalCrutch: His beloved Page is literally the only one who keeps him stable, at the cost of overshadowing his bonds with the other Elements, until Balance deliberately sets things up to sever this bond so Night can have a chance to properly awaken his Element.
42	* NotAMorningPerson: Night Blade admits to it, and that it's one major difference between he and Page.
43	* NotDistractedByTheSexy: Night Blade with ''anyone'' other than Page.
44	* OneNoteCook: Night Blade can make sandwiches in the first story, and that's about all. He explains in the sequel that he had someone else cooking for him most of the time, so he never really learned, and Vix-Lei promptly takes it upon herself to teach him more.
45	* ParentalNeglect: Night Blade's parents ''really'' did a number on him, since he was born so late in their lives and they no longer knew how to relate to a young child. They're trying to make up for it when he finally calls them out in the second story.
46	* PracticallyDifferentGenerations: Night Blade's siblings were all adults by the time he was born, and his oldest brother's first-born is a year older than Night himself. The massive distance between them is a big part of why they hardly interact.
47	* RedBaron: Night Blade earns one after his brutal slaughter of Sharp Point's mercenary allies -- the "Butcher of the Everfree Forest". He is less than thrilled by it.
48	* RuggedScar: He gains one across his eye after his fight with Sharp Point in the forest.
49	* SheathStrike: During the battle in chapter 44, dual-wielding it with his new sword.
50	* SourSupporter: Night Blade is pretty grouchy a lot of the time, and given his history, who can blame him? About the only time he's happy is when Page Turner is around him, and even that doesn't stop him from being very reluctant to be a part of the group of new Bearers. He's improving with time and experience though.
51	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Night Blade loves his mangos. The second story reveals that a love of a specific fruit or vegetable is a family trait.
52	* TheUnSmile: He gives one, "an all too wide smile on his face, showing off his fangs and sharper teeth in a frightening way", at one point. Page has to make him stop via a cold nose in the ear.
53
54	!!Page Turner
55
56	Appearing as a unicorn, from Canterlot, and the new Bearer of Kindness, who grew up as a ward of the Great/Grand Library. She is secretly a pony/changeling hybrid, and the current Changeling Queen.
57
58	----
59	* BadassBookworm: Page Turner might be a librarian (in fact, helping another colt find the book he wanted is how she got her Cutie Mark), but you don't want to mess with her in a fight.
60	* BarrierWarrior: During battle, Page demonstrates that she's capable of using magical shields both to defend against and physically attack enemies.
61	* BerserkButton: She gets ''very'' mad when it's implied that their hidden enemy is responsible for everything that's happened to her species, including the FantasticRacism aimed at Changelings.
62	* BewareTheNiceOnes: She may be the Bearer of Kindness, but she can be pretty dangerous when she wants to be.
63	* CordonBleughChef: Most of the time, Page is a really good cook. But when she goes heavy on the spices (even adding them to ''salad''), it can get a little hairy.
64	* DarkSecret: Page's status as a changeling/unicorn hybrid, which she's been keeping from the griffon who raised her for her entire life, and from Night Blade for fourteen years, at the time the story starts. The spirit of Balance indicates that the longer she keeps it, the worse off things will be. He's right, as Night Blade freaks out when he sees her in her true form and mistakes her for an impostor.
65	* DeflectorShields: Page prefers using these in battle. It's something she inherited from her great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather Shining Armor.
66	* DoNotCallMePaul: Page Turner was given one name at birth, but given a new, pony-style name by Hush Tone. As far as she's concerned, she ''is'' Page Turner, and not Lamella Armor the Tenth... she later relents when she begins taking her role as Changeling Queen more seriously.
67	* EmbodimentOfVirtue: Like Fluttershy before her, she represents a social virtue. As the Element of Kindness, she acts as the moral guidance to the others.
68	* FanCreatedOffspring: She's the descendent of Queen Chrysalis and Shining Armor (who slept with Chrysalis when she was disguised as Cadance).
69	* TheHeart: As Kindness, she acts as the peacekeeper and moral guidance of the team.
70	* HybridPower: Page is the tenth in her line to be a mix of unicorn and changeling, and refers to herself as a halfling or halfbreed after it comes out, though the exact percentage isn't certain at this point (her maternal ancestors have alternated between mating with full unicorns or full changelings ever since Lamella Armor the First was born to a unicorn and changeling pair). This mixed blood allows she and other changeling hybrids like her to gain Cutie Marks, and also renders them immune to the effects of the changeling detector lights.
71	* KingIncognito: Or rather Queen -- Page has been hiding her true nature and status essentially her entire life.
72	* LivingEmotionalCrutch: To Night Blade. She is literally the only one who keeps him stable, at the cost of overshadowing his bonds with the other Elements, until Balance deliberately sets things up to sever this bond so he can have a chance to properly awaken his Element.
73	* NaturalWeapon: Page is the only one who relies completely on her inherent magic, rather than carrying a physical weapon.
74	* ParentalSubstitute: On the receiving end -- Page Turner is a ward of the Great Library and was raised by its matron, the griffon Hush Tone, whom she says is like a mother to her.
75	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: More like "Trademark Favorite Flavor" -- Page Turner likes her food ''spicy''. She's mentioned as freaking other ponies out by snacking on jalapeños, has eaten and enjoyed red habaneros, and is looking forward to trying hotter peppers like Phantom Peppers (AKA Bhut jolokia, the Ghost peppers) and Dragon's Breath (at the time of writing, the hottest pepper on record). It is later revealed that to Changelings, anger has a "spicy" flavor to it. And since she feeds off Night Blade's anger mixed with love, Page has developed a taste for that spicy flavor.
76	* VoluntaryShapeshifting: It's part of her natural changeling abilities, though she admits at one point that she's not as skilled with it due to years of hiding in her unicorn form.
77
78	!!Wind Breaker
79
80	A valley griffon with one blue eye and one gold eye, raised in Canterlot's Caring Sisters of the Virtues Hatchery, and the new Bearer of Honesty.
81
82	----
83	* AddictionDisplacement: In the second story, he meets another griffon who'd switched to chewing gum to kick his smoking habit, and decides to take up the same thing to try and kick his alcoholism.
84	* TheAlcoholic: Wind Breaker drinks a lot (but only enough to get buzzed, no more), and Night Blade, noticing this, fires him from a job for it during the former's EstablishingCharacterMoment due to the laws against public intoxication. It eventually comes out that when he was a child, he couldn't stop from telling the truth and got into fights because of it, so his caretakers decided to give him alcohol to try and restrain his truth-telling. This happened when he was ''nine'', and he hasn't been able to stop drinking since, though after earning his Element, he promises Applejack that he'll try and sober up and finally admits to himself and the others that he has a problem.
85	* BeakAttack: Being a griffon, Wind Breaker uses his beak as one of his close-range weapons when he can't rely on his crossbow. He even took out a foe's [[EyeScream eye]] with it.
86	* TheBigGuy: A second one of these for the group, who sometimes fights up close but gradually becomes more of a LongRangeFighter.
87	* CannotTellALie: Per his Element, which got him into a lot of trouble as a kid. He was given alcohol to overcome it when he was nine, resulting in a lot of problems for him later in life.
88	* EmbodimentOfVirtue: Like Applejack before him, he represents a social virtue. As the Element of Honesty, he keeps the others honest by staying honest himself.
89	* FurryReminder: Wind Breaker, as a griffon, sometimes stretches his neck out and chirps like a bird.
90	* IWillFindYou: On the receiving end, as Discord reveals that his birth mother's wanted to find him for a long time, but until recently it was unsafe for her to return to Equestria.
91	* LongRangeFighter: After he gets his crossbow.
92	* NaturalWeapon: Being a griffon, Wind Breaker primarily relies on his beak and talons in battle, at least initially. He still uses them as backups even after getting a crossbow.
93	* NeverHeardThatOneBefore: When introducing himself to some of his fellow future Bearers, Wind Breaker adds "And yes, I've heard all the jokes, so please don't start." He finally hears a new and less offensive one in the human world, when the human Applejack asks "Your folks named you after a coat?"
94	* ObliviousToLove: For a very long time, Wind Breaker had no idea that Diamond Back, a griffon from the same Hatchery who bullied him, secretly had a crush on him.
95	* OurGryphonsAreDifferent: Wind Breaker is a classic griffon with the front of a bird of prey (though he's colored more like a falcon than an eagle) and the back of a lion. Griffons are also described as having two different subspecies, mountain griffons and the smaller valley griffons, with Wind Breaker being the latter type.
96	* TheStraightAndArrowPath: Wind Breaker picks up a crossbow, which becomes his signature weapon, partway through the first story.
97	* WolverineClaws: Wind Breaker uses his natural talons as one of his close-range weapons.
98
99	!!Vix-Lei
100
101	A female [[OurMinotaursAreDifferent minotaur]] from Ledra in the Minos Islands, daughter of the Shipmaster of Ledra, and the new Bearer of Laughter.
102
103	----
104	* BigEater: Very much so. She chalks it up to being a growing girl.
105	* TheBigGuy: She's the biggest and muscliest of the group, relying on raw physical might.
106	* BoisterousBruiser: Loud, strong and friendly.
107	* CarnivoreConfusion: Vix-Lei, despite being a minotaur, sees nothing wrong with eating beef. She explains that since the cows in the world of Canterlot High are non-sapient and different enough from her own species, it doesn't matter.
108	* CrazyPrepared: Vix-Lei carries various things around in case of "emergencies". Including a large rubber lizard that was in her coin bag. (And a pony-sized eyepatch.)
109	* DrivesLikeCrazy: As demonstrated during the escape from the Lower East-South Quarter. It's explained afterward that she grew up around a shipyard, and learned how to drive from her father's employees, most of whom had worked as her country's equivalent of cab drivers. She also admits to joyriding in the past.
110	* EmbodimentOfVirtue: Like Pinkie Pie before her, she represents a social virtue. As the Element of Laughter, she keeps the others' spirits up even when things seem bad. However, she also needs to know when to be serious so her comrades know they can always count on her and not dismiss her for being useless or insensitive.
111	* GratuitousGreek: Unusually for this trope, it's used in much the same way as Xvital's GratuitousSpanish -- Vix-Lei breaks into her native language while under stress.
112	* IAmBigBoned: Justified version during the final battle with the Nightmare. While Wind Breaker's trying to support her as she gets back on her feet, he comments on how heavy she is. She tells him, truthfully, that she weighs more because of how dense her species' bones and muscles are.
113	* ICallItVera: Vix-Lei named her hammers -- Lady Kabonk (her "fun" hammer, a giant squeaky rubber one) and Señor Hardhead (her ''hammer'' hammer).
114	* InnocentlyInsensitive: Vix-Lei's humor tends to be this way, as she doesn't realize her jokes might be offensive to others. At least, at first -- she ''does'' recognize that the others don't necessarily find them funny, but jokes are the best way she knows to break the ice.
115	* MassiveNumberedSiblings: Vix-Lei is the oldest of ''eight''.
116	* OurMinotaursAreDifferent: She's a minotaur -- an anthropomorphic bull-like being.
117	* ShipTease: With the human Bulk Biceps during the ''Equestria Girls'' arc. She's clearly attracted to him, and the feeling is mutual, but it never goes beyond talk and dancing.
118	* SupremeChef: She's one of the better cooks of the group, which she picked up from her mother, and starts teaching Night Blade later.
119	* WeaponBasedCharacterization: Vix-Lei, the TheBigGuy of the group and a BoisterousBruiser who relies on her muscles, carries two hammers on her, a warhammer she calls "[[ICallItVera Señor Hardhead]]" and a [[JokeItem squeaky one called "Lady Kabonk"]]. She's also seen admiring (and cooing at) a massive hammer with a head as big as ''she'' is at one point, which serves to break the tension between two of her teammates when they see it.
120
121	!!Rex
122
123	A male doberman-style diamond dog from Canterlot's Under, and the new Bearer of Generosity.
124
125	----
126	* BerserkButton: Rex does ''not'' like it when people think he's stupid [[DogsAreDumb just due to being a Diamond Dog]]. He also doesn't appreciate it when others consider him to not be a "true Equestrian" because he's not a pony.
127	* EmbodimentOfVirtue: Like Rarity Belle before him, he represents a social virtue. As the Element of Generosity, he understands others and ''inspires'' them with his selflessness.
128	* FlatEarthAtheist: Some believe Celestia and Luna are still responsible for the sun and moon rotating around the world, even a thousand years after their deaths. Rex is among those who believes gravity is responsible, and also firmly believes that magic, or thaumatology as he calls it, can be broken down into and understood in terms of scientific principles.
129	* FurryReminder: Rex, being a canine species, has been heard barking and seen with his tail wagging, and during the escape from Canterlot, he had his head sticking over the side of their skimmer, his tongue hanging out like a real dog's would, though he denies it. He's embarrassed when photographic proof emerges.
130	* IncendiaryExponent: Rex utilizes a potion that's essentially ''napalm'' in the final battle of the first story.
131	* TheMedic: He's the most skilled at healing of the group, treating their wounds when they need it.
132	* NotSoAboveItAll: Rex tries to stay calm and dignified most of the time, but he's not above having a little fun every now and then, like teasing Vix-Lei with his reaction to the idea of setting her on fire.
133	* RecognizableBySound: Rex has such keen senses that he's able to recognize a pony by the sound of their footstep.
134	* TheSmartGuy: Rex is highly intelligent and wiser than most, much to the surprise of people who expect less of him due to his being a Diamond Dog. He's a skilled alchemist who developed and supplied the formulae for the spell that created the items he and his business partners are selling, and easily translates Xvital's comments when she slips into her native language.
135	* ThrowDownTheBomblet: Rex is skilled at creating and using explosive potions.
136	* UnusualEuphemism: Rex, like other Diamond Dogs, uses minerals and gemstones as swear words.
137
138	[[/folder]]
139
140	[[folder: Guard Captains and Lieutenants]]
141
142	!!Captain-General Gentle Step
143
144	A unicorn and Captain-General of the Royal Guards.
145
146	----
147	* CarnivoreConfusion: Despite being a pony (a nominally herbivore species), Gentle Step has developed a taste for meat.
148	* DefrostingIceQueen: Not so much as icy as stoic, Captain-General Gentle Step starts to show a lot more emotion when she is around Memorizing Gaze.
149	* TheDreaded: She's stronger than any of her fellow captains and got her position after ten days in the Guard -- five days as a normal guard and five fighting her way into and out of Tartarus to rescue some of her fellows, with her only wounds being a scar on her face and a broken snout.
150	* DualWielding: Wields the swords ''Justice'' and ''Protector''.
151	* HeroicBuild: Her body muscle mass is described as having "seemed to belong to an earth pony that had trained themselves to the cusp of being unhealthy opposed to a unicorn".
152	* ObliviousToLove: Gentle Step is clearly attracted to Memorizing Gaze, but doesn't seem to realize her own feelings for him until she gets some help from Page.
153	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Once she's been made aware of what's really going on.
154	* RedBaron: Thanks to the incident which led to her being promoted to Captain-General, she's known as the Bane of Tartarus.
155	* ToHellAndBack: She once went into Tartarus, spent five days fighting there, and successfully rescued two of her Guards... with her only injuries being a scar on her face and a broken snout. After being a Guard for only five days at the time.
156
157	!!Lieutenant Mist Flight
158
159	A unicorn and second-in-command of the Royal Guards.
160
161	----
162	* CoolOldGuy: He's a grizzled stallion who was lieutenant when Gentle Step began guard training, and is firmly loyal to her.
163	* DecliningPromotion: He's been offered a Captain's position before, but always declined because he liked where he was. During the second story, he winds up becoming ''Acting'' Captain-General as a result of Internal Affairs' actions against Gentle Step, who decides to use a sick day and leave Mist in charge.
164	* NumberTwo: Of the Royal Guard. He appoints Artisan Shine as his own Number Two when he steps up as Acting Captain-General.
165	* EmbarrassingNickname: He doesn't like being called "Misty".
166	* OldSoldier: Mist Flight has held his lieutenant's post longer than his captain Gentle Step.
167
168	!!Captain Blazen Sun
169
170	A unicorn and Holy Corona of the Celestia Guards. The oldest of the six Captains, he's in charge of Canterlot's fire department and Eastern quarter, and is official leader of the religious orders that worship Celestia, though he leaves the day-to-day running of it to another.
171
172	----
173	* CoolOldGuy: Blazen Sun, the oldest of the captains. Over 130 years old and a great-grandfather (he mentions having needed to stop and help one of his great-granddaughters that morning in chapter 11 of the second story).
174	* TheDreaded: Especially by dragons, after what he did to a hostile one.
175	* KillItWithFire: Blazen Sun's specialty. He once killed a ''dragon'' with fire via his sun-based magic (and not just any dragon -- it was Garble from the episode "Dragon Quest").
176	* MilesToGoBeforeISleep: Blazen Sun, at over 130 years old, is the last of his generation, and his comments to Memorizing Gaze indicate that, while not suicidal, he is tired and looking forward to the day when he can retire and pass his position on to his lieutenant, but he can't bring himself to do so just yet, feeling there is still more for him to do.
177	* OldSchoolChivalry: Blazen Sun is a firm believer in this, and once gave all his Guards a royal chewing-out for not helping a couple of old mares when it was raining. It's become a trait of the entire Celestia Guard since then.
178	* OldSoldier: Blazen Sun, who's over 130 years old and is one, if not the very last, of his generation still in the Guard. Still sharp as a tack -- he ''killed'' a ''dragon'' once and could do it again if needed.
179	* ThePowerOfTheSun: Blazen Sun can ''create'' a miniature sun, bright enough to turn night into day. It's later revealed that he's ''so'' attuned to the sun that he awakens at sunrise every day.
180	* RedBaron: The Bane of Dragons, so named after an incident in which he made a hostile dragon ''explode''.
181
182	!!Lieutenant Steady Lance
183
184	Second-in-command of the Celestia Guards.
185
186	----
187	* NumberTwo: Of the Celestia Guard. And Blazen Sun fully intends for him to take over as Captain when Blazen himself retires.
188
189	!!Captain Sweet Surprise
190
191	A unicorn and Full Moon of the Luna Guards. She's in charge of Canterlot's hospitals and Southern quarter, and is official leader of the religious orders that worship Luna, though she leaves the day-to-day running of it to another.
192
193	----
194	* BewareTheSillyOnes: She may seem like a ditz, but she holds her rank for a reason.
195	* TheDreaded: She held back a demon incursion on her own (the same one that led Gentle Step to invade Tartarus), is a master tactician and so adept at approved transformation magic that she can fly better than most naturally-winged ponies.
196	* DudeWheresMyRespect: Sweet Surprise feels that every single Guard has been laughing at her and questioning her competence since the skimmer incident (when the new Bearers managed to escape Canterlot, leading her on a wild chase in the process) and has been working overtime to try and prove herself ever since... on top of that, she fears that others, once they found out about her husband and wife, would treat ''them'' with the same lack of respect as they're treating Sweet, and doesn't want that to happen.
197	* HappilyMarried: Sweet Surprise is married to a firepony stallion named Hot Rod and a psychiatrist mare named Sound Mind, much to the surprise of her fellow Captains when they find out.
198	* MyOwnPrivateIDo: Sweet Surprise explains that she and her marefriend and coltfriend had a private wedding in Las Pegasus so they wouldn't be swarmed by the press and media.
199	* ShipperOnDeck: Sweet Surprise recognizes that Gentle Step has feelings for Memorizing Gaze that run deeper than friendship, and is in favor of the relationship.
200	* VoluntaryShapeshifting: A unicorn who's adept enough at transformation magic to fully change into different pony types.
201
202	!!Lieutenant Even Hoof
203
204	Second-in-command of the Luna Guards.
205
206	----
207	* HappilyMarried: To Scented Meadows.
208	* NumberTwo: Of the Luna Guard.
209
210	!!Captain Standing Wall
211
212	An Earth pony and leader of the Cadenza Guards. She's in charge of Canterlot's police matters and the Western quarter.
213
214	----
215	* DishingOutDirt: Standing Wall is capable of a very strong degree of earth manipulation, including a sort of teleportation through it, moving from one spot to another ''incredibly'' fast.
216	* TheDreaded: She's renowned as the strongest Earth pony mage known to have ever lived.
217	* RedBaron: Known as the Bane of Minotaurs after an incident in which she and a squad of her Guards took on a mob of a thousand strong minotaurs and came back without a single loss and three hundred minotaurs marching in perfect formation to a Royal Guard stronghold.
218	* TunnelKing: As part of her earth-related powers, Standing Wall can phase through the ground without leaving a trace.
219
220	!!Lieutenant Dazzling Aura
221
222	Second-in-command of the Cadenza Guards, and the highest-ranking Crystal Unicorn in all the Guard branches.
223
224	----
225	* NumberTwo: Of the Cadenza Guard.
226
227	!!Captain Violet Lulamoon
228
229	Magi Supreme of the Magi of Stars Guards. An expert thaumatic artificer who revolutionized the Guard's armor protection spells. She's in charge of the farms outside Canterlot and the city's Northern quarter.
230
231	----
232	* FanCreatedOffspring: She's unknowingly descended from Trixie Lulamoon, the fabled "Blue Sorceress" and supposed enemy of the Magi of Stars. In truth, after Twilight's death in the Changeling invasion of Canterlot, Trixie vowed to honor the mare that saved her life once.
233	* HiddenDepths: On top of being Magi Supreme, Violet Lulamoon is revealed as being the published author of a non-fiction work on amulets (actually her college dissertation), and is working on a second in the second story.
234	* JustFriends: Violet Lulamoon insists (truthfully) that she and her lieutenant Lunar Light are this. Sweet Surprise isn't convinced, and chapter 20 mentions that she's not the only one, since there've been rumors about the two of them being a couple before, but InternalAffairs hasn't bothered them because they know both are suffering from TheFirstCutIsTheDeepest.
235	* TheFirstCutIsTheDeepest: She lost her husband when he was young, and hasn't been interested in romance since then.
236
237	!!Lieutenant Lunar Light
238
239	Second-in-command of the Magi of Stars Guards.
240
241	----
242	* InSeriesNickname: Violet calls him "Weird Beard", to Sweet Surprise's amusement.
243	* JustFriends: With his captain -- they're long-time friends who've been through a great deal together, and neither would ever have anypony else as their Captain or lieutenant, but there's nothing romantic about it.
244	* LethalChef: He admits he "can't cook worth a hill of beans" and comes over to his captain's house for breakfast, since he prefers her cooking to anything prepared by, as he puts it, "most of the so-called professionals out there".
245	* NumberTwo: Of the Magi Of Stars Guard.
246	* TheFirstCutIsTheDeepest: He joined the Guard to have something else to focus on after a mare jilted him and broke his heart.
247

Uses the names Gladstone or Gray Hoof when undercover. His Guards also protect the individual family members of the other Captains and Guards.

252	----
253	* PraetorianGuard: He's the Royal Protector of the Badlands Changeling Hive, born to protect its Royal Family, and takes up that duty again when Page finally accepts her position as Queen.
254	* SameSexTriplets: With his brothers Sound Record and High Finish, who serve as the Sage's Protector and Hivemind Protector (respectively).
255	* TheSpymaster: Per his role as Secret Protector of the Hidden Guards, who serve as Equestria's secret intelligence division and investigate potential threats to the nation. He even keeps Guards in his fellow Captains' headquarters to keep an eye out for ''other'' potential infiltrators.

258
259	Second-in-command of the Hidden Guards. Also goes by Mitta when she's undercover.
260
261	----
262	* CannotKeepASecret: Has a recurring problem with letting details slip -- she's the one who unwittingly revealed Page was the Changeling Queen to the rest of the Bearers, and accidentally referred to two of them by their codenames where Vix-Lei could hear it in the second story.
263	* NumberTwo: Of the Hidden Guard.

287	!!Reel / Kamen Rider Skull II
288
289	An A.R. (alternate reality) version of Anon e Mouse Jr., he likes to drop in on alternate versions of Equestria from time to time.
290
291	----
292	* AllYourPowersCombined: He has fifty-two Gaia Memories, and his [[GoldenSuperMode strongest form]] lets him tap all of them at once. [[AllThereInTheManual According to his author-given backstory]], his second-strongest form tapped only his first twenty-six when he first accessed it, and added more as he gained them, with the fifty-second pushing the form over the edge to Gold Xtreme.
293	* AnonymousBenefactor: Three of his four appearances have him pop in briefly and give some information and advice (while not spoiling anything that they won't find out on their own later) to the characters.
294	* AuthorAvatar: Of Anon e Mouse Jr., the co-writer of the series.
295	* CallingYourAttacks: When facing the Nightmare, he snaps his fingers and chants the first three words alongside his TransformationTrinket, followed by the attack name itself.
296	-->''KEY, MAXIMUM DRIVE! FINAL UNLOCK!''
297	* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: In his third omake appearance, he personally deals with the Nightmare and banishes it to Tartarus. Balance is dumbfounded by this.
298	* DimensionalTraveler: [[AllThereInTheManual According to his author-given backstory]], he gained the ability to travel around alternate worlds from a meeting with Kamen Rider Decade, though he can only visit A.R. versions of existing stories rather than the core world (which is why he only appears in omakes). He's visited three different versions of the Pieces-verse so far.
299	* DropInCharacter: Downplayed -- he only shows up a few times, and they're all in alternate-continuity versions of the Pieces-verse.
300	* GoldenSuperMode: Kamen Rider Skull Gold Xtreme, the form he uses to defeat the Nightmare in his third appearance.
301	* HenshinHero: Became one after gaining the powers of a Kamen Rider.
302	* HeroOfAnotherStory: Literally -- he originates from a fanfic that Anon e Mouse Jr. has in development, in which he ended up in an alternate version of Equestria that he now calls home.
303	* LegacyCharacter: Inherited the powers (and then some) of Sokichi Narumi, Kamen Rider Skull, after someone else recreated them and tried to use them for evil.
304	* MasterOfUnlocking: One of his most powerful attacks allows him to permanently unbind every atom in a target's body, even if they're intangible. It's how he beats the Nightmare in his third appearance.
305	* MultiformBalance: Reel, as Kamen Rider Skull the Second, has multiple Rider forms he can change between, but the omakes only show two: his default form, and his strongest. Word of God states that his first five forms are the default JackOfAllStats, a MightyGlacier, a FragileSpeedster, a LightningBruiser and a SuperMode (Kamen Rider Skull Xtreme). The form used for battle in the final omake is his sixth and final form, Kamen Rider Skull Gold Xtreme.
306	* PhlebotinumRebel: [[AllThereInTheManual According to his author-given backstory]], his Skull Driver and T2 Gaia Memories were created by Foundation X to have their own new and more effective Kamen Rider, but were stolen by their creator and lost into another world where Reel found them and used them to become a hero.
307	* ShipperOnDeck: Fully supports Gentle Step and Memorizing Gaze as a couple.
308	* TouchTheIntangible: One of Reel's abilities, which he utilizes to remove the Nightmare from their host in the fifth omake.
309	* TrappedInAnotherWorld: [[AllThereInTheManual According to his author-given backstory]], he somehow ended up in an alternate Equestria, just a hair to the side of the canon timeline. While not strictly trapped there anymore after an encounter with Kamen Riders Decade and Double (which led to his gaining Decade's ability to travel around dimensions), he now calls it home and always returns between visits to other worlds.
