3The Characters of ''Fanfic/TheRejuvenationPlay''. '''Beware of {{spoiler}}s!'''
4----
5[[foldercontrol]]
6
7!Protagonists
8[[folder: The Elements Of Harmony]]
9!!Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Spike
10The Bearers of the Elements of Harmony, guardians of Equestria and [[BunnyEarsLawyer quirky mares about the town.]]
11!!Tropes:
12* BadassCrew: So far shaping up to be this. They are unafraid to face [[TheDreaded Cascadius]] and his [[CarnivalOfKillers Mercenary Army]] and [[TheHighQueen Princess Celestia]] seems to believe they're ready.
13* TheDreaded: They seem to be one of the only things in Equestria, barring the Doctor, that Cascadius genuinely ''fears''.
14* NiceGirl: In the early story, all six of them are shown to be very kind and helpful towards the protagonists.
15** Rainbow Dash is one of Derpy's best friends and tries her best to look out for her.
16** Pinkie Pie welcomes the Doctor and Dinky to Sugarcube Corner.
17** Fluttershy informs Mayor Mare of the attack on Carrot Top and got Rainbow Dash to put out the fires.
18** Rarity arrives at Invitro Hall to make [[PimpedOutDress Derpy's dress.]]
19** Applejack comforts Fleur and gives her advice on how to improve her relationship with Fancy.
20** And though Twilight is too engrossed in her studies during the Derpy and the Doctor's struggles, she does show a lot of affection and concern towards Shining Armour and Cadence.
21* ThePowerOfFriendship: It wouldn't be ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' without this.
22
23!!Twilight Sparkle
24Bearer of Magic and Princess of Ponyville
25!!Tropes
26* BadassBookworm: It's Twilight Sparkle.
27* HiddenDepths: Seemingly has quite a bit of understanding of politics and military matters, judging by how she takes charge in Boulette.
28* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Employs very cautious and careful methods in dealing with the mercenary threat and overrules the [[GeneralRipper Boulettan military's]] wanton wish to invade unconfirmed threats. Granted, she can't do much against the mercenaries other than wait it out but she at least keeps a level head.
29
30!!Rainbow Dash
31Bearer of Loyalty
32!!Tropes:
33* ActionGirl: Knocks down two thugs fairly easily.
34* BoisterousBruiser: Eager to take the fight to Cascadius and tries to start a fight with anti-Equestrian Boulettans.
35* FireForgedFriends: Meets up with Gilda in a bar in Boulette. And takes to battle with her against Bloodhound.
36* HotBlooded: It's Rainbow Dash.
37
38!!Applejack
39Bearer of Honesty
40!!Tropes:
41* ActionGirl: Disarms a thug with little effort. Then goes up against [[TheBrute Hed'Kika]] and nearly lays him low with a single kick.
42* DeathGlare: Gives one to the [[MuggingTheMonster Boulettan thugs]].
43* NiceGirl: Helps out Fleur in ''Intriguing'' and rescues a foreign mare being accosted by thugs in Boulette.
44* TeamMom: It's Applejack.
45* TheStoic: Despite Twilight being the most level-headed, Applejack seems to be the most composed when faced with the threat of the mercenaries.
46* TranquilFury: In contrast to Rainbow Dash, when faced with the same thugs, having interrupted their victimising of a foreign mare, calmly tells them to get lost before she feels the wish to get violent.
47
48!!Rarity
49Bearer of Generosity
50!!Tropes:
51* DamselOutOfDistress: Against Corax. Though she is initially terrified of being [[EatenAlive dismembered and cannibalised]], she uses the lacerations Corax is inflicting on her as a means of stimulating her nerves, thus regaining control of her magic, whereupon she completely [[CurbStompBattle flattens]] the distracted mercenary.
52* TheFashionista: It's Rarity.
53* InterspeciesRomance: It's...''implied''...she reciprocates Spike's feelings for her.
54
55!!Fluttershy
56Bearer of Kindness
57!!Tropes:
58* FriendToAllLivingThings: Of course.
59* ShrinkingViolet: It's Fluttershy.
60
61!!Pinkie Pie
62Bearer of Laughter
63!!Tropes:
64* FourthWallObserver: Of course.
65* TheGadfly: Enjoys asking her friends awkward or private questions.
66* GenkiGirl: It's Pinkie Pie.
67
68!!Spike
69Ponyville's local Dragon and Twilight Sparkle's No. 1 Assistant
70!!Tropes:
71
72* LovableNerd: Huge fan of comics and debates with Angel [[TalkingWithSigns (Somehow)]] about their themes and scenarios.
73* TurnTheOtherCheek: Forgives Angel for the trouble he gave him during his pet-sitting.
74[[/folder]]
75
76[[folder: The Cutie Mark Crusaders]]
77Applebloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle
78Three helpful but precarious fillies around Ponyville.
79!!Tropes:
80* DumbassNoMore: In a sense. When they suspect Diamond Tiara of slandering Derpy, they realise that they shouldn't simply make accusations without proof, demonstrating they've learned a lot of responsibility through their various adventures and accidents.
81* HonoraryTrueCompanion: Gift Dinky with a CMC cloak, naming her an honorary Crusader.
82* NiceGirl: Are dedicated to helping Dinky, Pipsqueak and any other friend in need.
83* ShipperOnDeck: Like most of their friends, they seem to find Dinky and Pipsqueak's PuppyLove cause for celebration.
84[[/folder]]
85
86!!Doo Family
87[[folder: Derpy Doo]]
88!!Derpy Doo
89Ponyville's [[TheKlutz muddle-headed mailmare]].
90!!Tropes:
91* GoodParents: What she is aspiring to be, like her actual parents were to her.
92* TheKlutz: She gets better when Dinky's around. It's a sign of how bad she's feeling at Invitro Hall when Dinky nearly gets hurt because of a clumsy mistake.
93* MamaBear: She's willing to stand up to Countess Glass to protect her foal.
94* NobleFugitive: Although in this case the pursuit is more social and political than literal.
95* TheWoobie: Poor Derpy has it tough.
96** Before the story begins, she was born to loving parents who disappeared when she was a filly. She was then taken in by her aunt and cousins who physically and verbally abused her constantly and sent her to [[BedlamHouse Glanders Gate]] when she tried to go to the authorities. Finally running away at sixteen years old, she came to Ponyville and struggled to keep her job with her clumsiness. Finally, at a party in Manehattan with [[HardDrinkingPartyGirl Berry Punch]], she gets very drunk, has a one-night stand, ends up pregnant and has no idea who the father is.
97** In ''The Rejuvenation Play'', she suffers a MaternityCrisis during the Rejuvenation Play, several months earlier than expected, and is clearly terrified that something's wrong with the foal. She screams out to the Doctor, the stallion who's been helping her through her depression. [[EarnYourHappyEnding Luckily, he arrives and everything's sorted out.]]
98** In ''Old Fences'' it's shown just how abusive and cold-hearted her aunt acts towards her, ordering her to return to Invitro Hall and [[WouldHurtAChild ''dispose'' off her filly.]] When the Countess and Cascadius send an assassin after Carrot Top and Mayor Mare, she's [[ItsAllMyFault traumatised and wracked with guilt]]. Terrified for her friends and for the Doctor, she's forced to pull a BreakHisHeartToSaveHim and return to her old home where her aunt and cousins promptly continue abusing and mocking her incessantly.
99** In ''You Shall Go To The Gala'', she nearly has a [[HeroicBSOD breakdown]] when Dinky's nearly hurt due to her clumsiness. Upon arriving at the Gala, things start to look up for her but she's clearly very hurt by the insults thrown at her by [[JerkAss Blueblood, Jet Set and Upper Crust]]. Then she runs into her aunt who furiously drags her from the Gala and [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown viciously beats her]] while declaring her friends will suffer for her actions. Thankfully, [[BigDamnHeroes Fancy Pants, the Doctor and Celestia put a stop to it]]. Finally, she finds out [[LukeIAmYourFather the Doctor]] is really Dinky's father. [[EarnYourHappyEnding This, however, turns out to be something she's very thankful for.]]
100[[/folder]]
101
102[[folder: Doctor Whooves]]
103!!????
104Scruffy-looking time travelling stallion in a bowtie
105!!Tropes:
106* AccidentalPublicConfession: While very distressed, he accidentally reveals he's Dinky's father to Mayor Mare, following the attacks on Carrot Top and Lady Justice.
107* BunnyEarsLawyer: Given who he's based off, this is a given.
108* GoodParents: He's definitely shown to be one for Dinky.
109* IChooseToStay: At the end of ''The Rejuvenation Play'' when he reveals he's actually Dinky's father.
110* MyGreatestFailure: He views his failure to prevent the attack on Laurelore claiming so many lives as this.
111* NoodleIncident: It's never mentioned what, exactly, he did with or to Princess Platinum to make her so angry at him to the point where she sends angry letters full of profanity ''across time and space!''
112* NotThatKindOfDoctor: He is less than helpful during Derpy's delivery, despite his best efforts.
113* ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules: His response to the Countess trying to buy him off is a short, simple [[PrecisionFStrike ''Go buck yourself'']]
114* TheWoobie: Definitely during the [[spoiler: flashback to his first confrontation with Cascadius. He witnesses a great disaster in Canterlot, barely manages to save [[TheHighQueen Princess Laurelore]], is captured by Cascadius, tortured for days (Involving, but not limited to, having both back legs broken and a heavy iron nail hammered into his forehoof to keep a manacle in place), is powerless to stop the Bearers being slaughtered and, finally, has to pull a TakingYouWithMe on Cascadius to protect Equestria, culminating in [[AnArmAndALeg chopping off his own forehoof]] to keep him down and hanging from the drop by a horribly dislocated foreleg, [[BrokenTears crying]] for his fallen friends.]]

136

155* WhatTheHellHero: Lectures the Doctor on the dangers of having a child that [[DemonicPossession Marephistallion could possess]] or [[RevengeByProxy any number of his old foes could harm]].

174* BloodKnight
175* {{Expy}}: Of [[Franchise/DoctorWhoOtherSupportingCast Strax]]
176* CloudCuckoolander: Rigged the Doo family's ''toilet'' to explode at the first sign of dissent and offered to fit Dinky's rubber duck with nerve-gas canisters.
177* GeniusDitz: He's not particularly socially-aware or even very sane but he's a master engineer as his weapons prove.
178* HeroicComedicSociopath
179* MyInstinctsAreShowing: Coldblood orders him to 'sit' when he gets carried away, prompting him to do immediately. He finds it degrading.
180* WouldntHurtAChild: Can't bring himself to attack a possessed Pipsqueak. Apparently this goes for his entire species as pups are sacred to the [[EvenEvilHasStandards Demolition Dog dens]].
181[[/folder]]
182

184!!Jack Heartthrob
185An international detective, [[TheCasanova renowned Lady's Stallion]] and associate of the Doctor.

208* BerserkButton: Threaten, harm or kill her subjects and she will not rest until you are made to pay.
209%%* BigGood
210* TheHighQueen: A close enough case. She definitely comes more into her element, particularly during the first half.
211* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Besides kind words, she demonstrates firm judgement on many occasions.
212* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Consistently.
213** In ''The Rejuvenation Play'', she appears at the Ponyville Rejuvenation Festival, is quick to realise there's something wrong with Derpy, calls upon the Doctor and then volunteers to help, though her efforts aren't needed.
214** In ''You Shall Go To The Gala'', she is willing to hear Lyra and Colgate's plea to send Derpy back to Ponyville, helps the Doctor in working up the courage to reveal he's Dinky's father, [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech reprimands]] the Countess and her daughters for their treatment of Derpy and sends them from the gala, allows the guests from Ponyville stay at the School For Gifted Unicorns Dormitories, uses her authority to give the Doctor custody rights over Derpy and Dinky and sentences the Countess to seven years house arrest.
215** In ''Intriguing'', she cannot impede in the political campaigns Fancy Pants and Nitpick are struggling in but when a firestorm at Bittsburgh breaks out, she and Sunset Shimmer head straight to the city and largely save it from destruction. After which, she returns, delivers judgement to the defeated villains, rewards the heroes and [[ShipperOnDeck gives Fancy the push he needs to propose to Fleur]] (Even supplying him with a ring!).
216[[/folder]]
217
218[[folder: Princess Luna]]
219!!Luna
220Younger sister to Princess Celestia and Princess of the Moon.
221!!Tropes:

237Prince of the realm, descended from the first Unicorn rulers and [[LazyBum infamous layabout]].
238!!Tropes:
239* ALadyOnEachArm: How he enters the story in ''Intriguing''.
240* BenevolentBoss: It's mentioned that he can be very generous to those who service him well. He and his valet, Conkers, have a pretty good relationship.
241** And he also seems to genuinely care about [[HookerWithAHeartOfGold Fragrant Magnolia and Silvanberry]], the two mares he cavorts with at the Hanoverian Club. He stops [[DirtyOldMan Nitpick]] from making a grab at them and seemingly tries to defend them from [[TheBrute Morion]], though without much success.
242* CasanovaWannabe: Is certain that Fleur has always held feelings for him and tries to flirt with one of Photo Finish's models with limited success.
243* DirtyCoward: He is...less than willing to join in the Siege of Quartzwald against the [[TheDreaded Jotnar Warhost]].
244* TheDitz: He is consistently unaware that certain ponies are [[StealthInsult insulting]] or [[BlatantLies lying]] to him.
245* EvenEvilHasStandards: When Fleur launches her distress signal he realises he's done something terribly wrong and needs to fix it. Of course, he's still a coward, so he goes to get Fancy Pants rather than acting himself.
246** Nonetheless, he does later personally [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech denounce]] Nitpick for his actions and severs all ties with the Glass family, despite them being [[ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules major contributers to his trust fund.]]
247* HeelFaceTurn: After he finds out what Nitpick [[AttemptedRape tried to do]] to Fleur.
248* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's as smug and self-interested as he is in [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic canon]] but it becomes clear that his friends mean a lot to him and he's nowhere ''near'' as repugnant as the villains.
249* LazyBum: He spends most of his time at the [[DenOfIniquity Hanoverian Club]], drinking and cavorting with young mares. At Quartzwald, he won't even bother to use his ''magic'' to help moving crates, much less his hooves.
250* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Experiences this when he realises he's put Fleur in danger.
251[[/folder]]

258!!Tropes:
259* TheCavalry: He and his platoon come to the hero's rescue quite frequently.
260* CoveredInKisses: At the end of ''Intriguing'', courtesy of Cadence, leaving him panicking about how he can't show up for drills like this and asking her how to remove the lipstick.
261* HeroOfAnotherStory: Has this going. Contrasts his [[TheWorfEffect lack of achievement in the show]].
262* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: To his platoon. When Flash Sentry ends up in trouble, Shining doesn't hesitate to [[PunishmentDetail properly punish]] him but still saves him from a far worse penalty at the hooves of [[HangingJudge Nitpick]]
263* SergeantRock: He is a brave and selfless officer, beloved by his platoon.
264** FourStarBadass: Is addressed as ''Captain-General'' by Peregrine suggesting he's the official Commander-In-Chief of the Equestrian Armies and has earned the title.

277[[/folder]]
278
279[[folder: Private Flash Sentry]]

282!!Tropes:
283%%* TheBet: Lands him a lot of trouble at the start of ''Old Fences''
284* ButtMonkey: Comes close to being this. Shining regularly puts him on PunishmentDetail for his various mess-ups and Timber Spruce ends up tricking him into [[DisguisedInDrag cross-dressing]].
285* GirlOnGirlIsHot: Wears the biggest grin Shining's ever seen when they chance upon Lemon Hearts and Alma Rose [[CoitusUninterruptus locked in embrace]].
286* LovableRogue: Fits the bill. He loves to fool around and regularly teases and jests with his comrades.
287* NoodleIncident: Was apparently set upon by Sunset and the Dazzlings in an orgy. Apparently they [[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale 'jumped him']]. He seems more annoyed by the fact that his colleagues find it hilarious.
288* TotallyRadical: In front of Fancy Pants, prompting Shining Armour to chastise him.
289[[/folder]]
290
291[[folder: Private Stumbler]]

297* TheKlutz: Given who he's based off, this is likely. He's mentioned to have accidently stumbled into Sir Cumbersome's gang of thugs and [[DressingAsTheEnemy pretended he was one of them]] to find out about ThePlan.
298%%* UseYourHead: Upon Morion, repeatedly, while wearing a helmet.
299[[/folder]]

353* RedIsHeroic: Doesn't just wear red but decorates her entire room with it.
354* TechnoWizard: Zigzagged. She's mentioned to the computer expert among the Royal Guard at Boulette but requires Pinkie's help in cracking the financial details of Royal Flush to uncover his corruption. HilarityEnsues.

357[[folder: Lieutenant Jupiter]]

400* BigDamnHeroes: Multiple times.
401** In You Shall Go To The Gala, he comes to Derpy's rescue and dishes a well-deserved TheReasonYouSuckSpeech toward Countess Glass before ordering her to apologise and leave the gala.

419* FreudianExcuse: Was apparently TheUnfavourite in her family, always overshadowed and mocked by her [[BigBrotherBully elder sister]] and was brought up to try and be the best no matter what.
420* HotBlooded: It hurts her political campaign sufficiently that she resigns her candidacy just before the story begins.
421* IHatePastMe: She doesn't gloss over the fact that she was a JerkAss back in her school years.
422* JerkAssRealization: After her resignation, realising where and how she's gone wrong over the years.
423* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Has this going. She remains a little caustic and patronising but definitely has warmed to the protagonists.
424* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: Doesn't think highly of [[ProudWarriorRace Boulettan]] [[MightMakesRight traditions]].
425* ParodySue: WordOfGod suggests she was originally intended to be this.

443!!Tropes:
444* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler:For calling off the investigation of the murder of Fancy's parents and spying on him.

473!!Tropes:
474* AdaptationalNameChange: Her fan name is her middle name and what most ponies around town call her.
475* BerserkButton: Similar to her good friend, Twilight Sparkle, she values ThePowerOfFriendship and gets rather violent if any of her friends are hurt. It takes almost all her friends restraining her to stop her attacking Countess Glass at the Gala having seen Derpy beaten and dragged out.
476* HeroicLineage: Is apparently descended from an ancient Canterlot family called the 'Van Tancrems' [[PunnyName (Dutch for 'Toothpaste')]]

496* BunnyEarsLawyer: Her and most of her crew. They're a quirky bunch of fashionistas, but they've managed to survive the rest of Canterlot's fashion industry trying to drive them out of business, and if one of their own is threatened, [[AmazonBrigade well...]]

513* ActionGirl: Develops into this, being one of the only ponies to defeat [[TheDreaded Cascadius]]!
514* DamselInDistress: When captured by Nitpick in the Lower Gardens. Though she makes up for it by casting through a [[PowerNullifier containment ring]] to help Fancy, promting a HeroicRROD
515* HiddenDepths: She's actually very well-read and [[spoiler: has some head for strategy, giving Photo Finish the idea to hold the shoot at Briefly Manor both to save on resources and to thwart their opponents.]]
516* OlderThanTheyLook: In ''Intriguing'', she looks like she could be ( just) underage, but is actually 26. This makes her ''33'' after the Timeskip.

541%%* DeadpanSnarker
542* {{Expy}}: A very clear one of [[Literature/JeevesAndWooster Aunt Agatha]]. Right down to the West Highland Terrier.
543* GoodIsNotNice: While she remains a force of good, the measure of just how frightening she can be comes into play when she lets Countess Magnifying Glass know, in no uncertain terms, that she is looking for any excuse to make her suffer and that she may have [[TokenEvilTeammate 'friends who don't mind blood on their hooves']].
544%%* GrandeDame
545* EvilMatriarch: Subverted. While she's stern, patronising and ruthlessly pragmatic, she's never been outright ''mean'' to her nephew or any other members of her family.
546%%* FamilyHonor: Very important to her.
547* NeverMessWithGranny: Knocks out four thugs under Sir Cumbersome before he can even blink.
548* PetTheDog: Aside from her literal petting of her pet terrier, [[MrMuffykins Horatio]], she does seem willing to reward Fleur for protecting her nephew even if she disapproves of their relationship and is very friendly towards [[BeleagueredBureaucrat Raven Inkwell]].
549* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Explains to Fancy that while she doesn't think highly of him wanting to marry Fleur de Lis, she wouldn't at all object to their friendship.

566* NeverMessWithGranny: Pitches in at the defence of Briefly Manor.
567* NotNowKiddo: Firmly scolds Tinny Can for pestering Fleur about what happened in the Lower Gardens. Though, seeing as Fleur was almost raped, it may be a case of NotInFrontOfTheKid.

603* ChildrenAreInnocent: Doesn't quite understand what Mr Gruffleby means by 'They do not like it up 'em'...[[SubvertedTrope until the fight at Briefly Manor where Sir Cumbersome is subjected to it.]]
604* InnocentlyInsensitive: Is excited to know how Fancy rescued Fleur from Nitpick in the Lower Gardens. Considering she was almost raped, his aunt is right to stop him.

643Blue Murder's treasured son and best friend of Pipsqueak.
644!!Tropes:
645* BerserkButton: Don't bring up the direct-to-video sequels of Ogres and Oubliettes. Apparently, they weren't very good.
646* CoolBigBro: Though he has no relation, he rather fits this trope with Pipsqueak, being significantly older than him. WordOfGod suggests Blue Murder is Pipsqueak's godmother.
647* ShipperOnDeck: Is implied to be encouraging Pip to go out with Dinky.

746* AssholeVictim: Is subject to being blasted out of the Hospital by Sparkler and then left in the dirt without his wallet and keys by his wife. Considering the abuse we've seen him dish out towards Pipsqueak and the fact that he was perfectly willing to harm Dinky and Tootsie for trying to stop him, it's pretty cathartic.
747* {{Foil}}: To Countess Magnifying Glass. Both are utterly self-centred and abusive toward the meek and mild child under their care, uncaring of who knows it. But while the Countess acts in an austere and arrogant way, threatening Derpy with her considerable influence most of the time, Dodger is generally more brutish, hardly in control of himself at the best of times and it's clear his lifestyle has nearly ruined him and his wife.
748* HateSink: In the span of one paragraph he threatens three of Ponyville's cutest and most innocent denizens with violence and inflicts it on one of them.
749* {{Hypocrite}}: He openly cheats on his wife but rages at Pipsqueak upon seeing Dinky and Tootsie beside him.

765* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Demonstrates highly xenophobic sentiment and not-so-subtly chides Lafayette's sexuality.
766* SmugSnake: Sees Boulettan military officers as far superior to the Equestrian Royal Guard in terms of experience (Confusing the wish to start a war with the capability to win it if his 'strategies' are anything to go by).
767%%* WarHawk
768[[/folder]]
769
770[[folder: Captain Lafayette]]
771!!Lafayette
772Captain of the Boulettan Guard.
773%%* NiceGuy

777
778[[folder: Banana Republic]]
779!!Banana Republic
780Communications Officer at the Crossfort, killed by Gringore.
781* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: ''"Looks like Banana Republic had to [[BondOneLiner SPLIT]]...[[EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor Geddit?]]"''
782* OhCrap: His courage swiftly fades away when he sees what Gringore [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill did]] to the [[RedShirtArmy SWAT team]].
783* SacrificialLamb: Lives and dies solely to demonstrate how insane [[LaughingMad Gringore]] is.
784* WeHardlyKnewYe: If the Mercenaries needed him alive, it's possible he was involved in [[CorruptPolitician Royal Flush's]] secret dealings with Cascadius and his subsequent betrayal.
785[[/folder]]
786

800
801[[folder:Lord Ardentine Casterly]]
802The money behind the expedition.
803!!Tropes:
804* ItsAllAboutMe: Daring considers him to have a dose of this, dismissing her contributions to archaeology and being busy getting his photo taken rather than actually mucking in.
805%%* TheTeamBenefactor
806[[/folder]]
807
808%%[[folder:Madam Daubentone]]
809%%An old spiritualist, and former mentor to Trixie Lulamoon.
810%%!!Tropes:
811%%* MentorArchetype: Apparently was one to Trixie.
812%%* {{Necromancer}}: In the classical sense, and it's not treated as TheDarkArts.
813%%[[/folder]]
814
815[[folder:Professor Vergiss Meinnicht]]
816Professor at the University of Stuttegard, he's an expert in studies predating the First Age of Magic
817!!Tropes:
818* CunningLinguist: Is trusted with the translations.
819[[/folder]]
820
821[[folder: Doctor Eton Mess]]
822Head of Archeology at Trottingham Academy.
823!!Tropes:
824* TheCoroner: Is the one to examine Fortissimo's body and identify the true cause of death.
825[[/folder]]
826
827[[folder:Fortissmo]]
828One of Lord Casterly's hangers-on.
829!!Tropes:
830* ProfessionalButtKisser: Daring appears to hold this opinion of him.
831* SacrificialLamb: Is the first of the party to die, due to infection from the wound he takes opening the door, or at least, that's what everyone assumes. He was actually strangled.
832* WoundThatWillNotHeal: Takes one opening the door to the ruin.
833[[/folder]]
834
835!Antagonists
836
837!!Invitro Hall
838[[folder: Countess Magnifying Glass]]
839!!Magnifying Glass
840Derpy Doo's abusive aunt and head of the influential Glass Family of Invitro Hall in Canterlot.
841!!Tropes:
842* AristocratsAreEvil: Is the head of one of the most ancient and noble families in Canterlot. She is also a horribly abusive and conniving mare who is seemingly prepared to commit ''treason'' to satisfy her wishes.
843* BigBad: She definitely fits this tropes during the first half of the storyline (Focussing on Derpy and Dinky)
844* EnragedByIdiocy: Several times in Intriguing.
845%%zce* EvilAunt: To Derpy.
846* EvilCannotComprehendGood: She can't understand why the Doctor could love Derpy, much less want to raise her foal.
847* EvilMatriarch: Of the Glass Family
848* HateSink: She has absolutely ''no'' redeeming qualities and is unpleasant to just about everypony whenever she has the opportunity.
849* HumiliationConga: In ''You Shall Go To The Gala''. While attempting to [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beat]] her niece for appearing at the Gala against her commands, she and her daughters are interrupted by [[NiceGuy Fancy]] [[BadassInANiceSuit Pants]], their superior in title and reputation. He then proceeds to ''thoroughly'' [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech dress them down]] and orders them to return to the Gala and publically apologise to Derpy. Celestia is just as unamused by their conduct and they're forced to head home on hoof in the pouring rain.
850* ItsAllAboutMe: Largely. She talks constantly about the reputation of her family but it's quite obvious her concern doesn't extend beyond herself.
851%%* JerkAss: To put it ''lightly!''
852* NotSoHarmlessVillain: At least in contrast with her husband, Countess Magnifying Glass has no qualms in hiring professional assassins to kill any threat that presents itself.
853* SanitySlippage: Her seven year house arrest has not been kind to her. She is a nervous wreck who will do anything to get back at the heroes.
854%%* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: Firmly relies on this trope.
855%%* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Also relies on this. She attempts to bribe the Doctor to abandon Derpy. [[ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules It doesn't work.]]
856* SmugSnake: Although she's no slouch, in a story with Cascadius she's just out of her league. It takes a while for her to realise this.
857* SurroundedByIdiots: {{Invoked}} repeatedly. To be fair, while she's not as smart as she thinks she is, she's definitely ahead of her co-conspirators by ''several'' miles.
858* VillainousBreakdown: Numerous times in ''You Shall Go To The Gala'' and ''Intriguing''. After the [[TimeSkip timeskip]] she's basically lost it entirely.
859* WhipOfDominance: She's a haughty EvilMatriarch who carries a riding-crop, which she enjoys using on those who irritate her.
860[[/folder]]
861
862[[folder: Lord Magistrate Nitpick]]
863!!Nitpick
864Countess Magnifying Glass's husband, Canterlot's Lord Magistrate and running for Royal Council Chairstallion.
865!!Tropes:
866* AttemptedRape: Nitpick assaults Fleur while she's working at the theatre. She reports him, resulting in a scandal. After she begins showing up again due to her relationship with Fancy Pants, Nitpick begins viewing her as TheOneThatGotAway and tries several more times.
867%%* TheBet: Lost his old estate, Lausenhaus Court, in one.
868* BigBadWannabe: It's quite obvious that he is forced to rely on his wife to avoid trouble and get ahead. [[SurroundedByIdiots She's just as unhappy about this as he is.]]
869* HangingJudge: Is shown to be this towards those he thinks beneath him.
870* HateSink: He is as vile and self-interested as his wife and lecherous to boot. You certainly know when a character is deplorable when they receive a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech from [[PrinceCharmless Prince Blueblood]]!
871* HenpeckedHusband: Evidently.
872* LargeHam: In court. Flash Sentry thinks he should become an actor.
873* NeverMyFault: He maintains that Fleur was trying to seduce him at the theatre.
874-->''All that mane and make-up on a mare of your status? My dear filly, you may as well have worn a'' price-tag''.''
875* NoHonorAmongThieves: He wastes no time in trying to pin his crimes on Sir Cumbersome and Earwax.
876%%* ProfessionalButtKisser: To Blueblood.
877%%* UpperClassTwit: He is ''not'' a smart stallion.

880
881[[folder: Monocular and Binocular]]
882!!Monocular, Binocular
883Daughters of Magnifying Glass and Nitpick.
884!!Tropes:
885* AnimalMotifs: Their plain but heavily made-up faces are described as 'fish-like', while on their illustration, Monocular appears somewhat baboon-like and Binocular looks very porcine.
886* TheBully: Gleefully take part in their aunt's abuse of Derpy.
887* LameComeback: For all their time spent insulting and mocking Derpy, they aren't particularly witty.
888* FatAndSkinny: Monocular is thin and Binocular is fat...[[AccidentalMisnaming or the other way round]].
889%%* SpoiledBrat: Their main trait.
890%%* UpperClassTwit: Certainly seem to be.

898%%* TheDragon: To Nitpick.
899* DumbMuscle: He is very large and isn't particularly clever.
900* JerkAss: He is rarely seen being willfully ''nice'' to anypony.
901* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Doesn't like lower-class ponies and hasn't a very high opinion of mares either.
902%%* ProfessionalButtKisser: To Blueblood.
903* UpperClassTwit: He's a single-minded, blustering oaf.
904* WouldHitAGirl: Claims that social climbing if a good enough reason to beat a pony bloody, ''even more so'' if they're a mare.
905%%* YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler:His ultimate fate, shared with Nitpick.]]
906[[/folder]]
907
908[[folder: Earwax]]
909!!Earwax
910Nitpick and Magnifying Glass's private lawyer.
911!!Tropes:
912* AmoralAttorney: Is not above falsifying evidence or bribing, duping and threatening ponies to support his claims.
913* NoHonorAmongThieves: When it's clear that the Glass family won't get him out of prison, he spills the beans on their plans.
914* OhCrap: When he finds out that the weekly Magnifique Fashion Magazine has Fleur's profile, making his false story about her background unpublishable.
915** And soon afterwards when Shining Armour finds the photos he was holding onto.
916* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: His response to Celestia's entrance in ''Intriguing''. He makes it quite clear that he can't help the Countess if the Princess is involved.
917* TheSmartOne: In comparison with Nitpick and his cronies, though that's not saying much. He's the only one who thinks [[EvilGloating revealing the grand scheme]] to Fancy Pants might not be such a good idea but is won over at the thought of satisfaction.
918%%* SmugSnake: It sure as hell grates on Fancy Pants.
919%%* YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler:His ultimate fate, shared with Nitpick.]]
920[[/folder]]
921
922[[folder: Morion, Culverin and Arquebus]]
923!!Morion, Culverin, Arquebus
924Nitpick's bodyguard. An Earth Pony, a Unicorn and a Pegasus respectively.
925!!Tropes:
926* TheBrute: They all fit this trope but special mention goes to Morion, the toughest and possibly the most sadistic of the trio.
927* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: It's all but stated that Morion plans to have his way with [[HookerWithAHeartOfGold Fragrant Magnolia and Silvanberry]]. Thankfully, [[BigDamnHeroes this is prevented by Stumbler]].
928* TheSmartOne: Arquebus appears to be the smartest of the three, not being spotted sneaking into the hospital and having Earl Grey and his family at his mercy fairly easily. Unfortunately for him, [[RightBehindMe he forgets about the nurse]].
929* TheToothHurts: Morion plans on pulling out Fragrant Magnolia's teeth for biting him.
930* WouldHitAGirl: It's shown that Morion and Culverin have no quarrel with assaulting Fleur with hooves and magic.
931* YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler:Their ultimate fate, shared with Nitpick.]]
932[[/folder]]
933
934[[folder: Cringeworth]]

936Sir Cumbersome Clout's valet.
937!!Tropes:
938* ButtMonkey: Whether it's his allies or his enemies, everypony seems to find any excuse to pick on him.
939** UnluckilyLucky: [[spoiler:Though the fact that he was never directly involved in his ally's treasons, resulting in him only getting six years in Canterlot Prison, is what saves him from [[YouHaveFailedMe sharing]] their fate.]]
940* {{Gonk}}: His illustration hardly looks like a pony!
941* ProfessionalButtKisser: Is sycophantic to a high degree.
942[[/folder]]
943
944!!Glanders Gate Asylum
945[[folder: Doctor Bittersweet]]
946!!Bittersweet
947Head of [[BedlamHouse Glanders Gate Asylum]].
948!!Tropes:
949* AffablyEvil: He is flawlessly polite and could easily be mistaken for a kind pony.
950* BlueAndOrangeMorality: His MotiveRant suggest he sees mental illness, of any kind, as similar to a foal's misbehaviour, requiring punishment in order to make them learn. The worse the 'misbehaviour, the more painful the punishment.
951%%* EvilGenius
952* FourEyesZeroSoul: Wears spectacles that give his eyes a certain dead look.
953* HateSink: The keeper of an illegal asylum who firmly advocates ColdBloodedTorture as a means to treat mental illness.
954%%* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate
955* NeatFreak: Shows signs of this, being highly displeased that dust is gathering in his desk and ordering the asylum relentlessly sanitized.
956* TheOneThatGotAway: Seems to see Derpy as this, believing he could have 'fixed' her if he had more time with her.
957%%* TheShrink: Fits this role.
958[[/folder]]
959
960[[folder: Matron Hellebore]]
961!!Hellebore
962The domineering matron of Glanders Gate.
963!!Tropes:
964* BerserkButton: Don't show disrespect towards Doctor Bittersweet when she's close-by.
965* TheBigGuy: She is stated to be very large.
966* ToThePain: Her illustration shows her holding a drill and preparing to use it.
967* UndyingLoyalty: She seems very loyal to Doctor Bittersweet, any attempt to show impertinence toward him enraging her.
968[[/folder]]
969
970[[folder: SpoilerCharacter]]
971!!Lightning Dust
972Failed Wonderbolt turned informant in Cloudsdale for the Asylum and the Mercenaries.

982!!The Grand Gorging Council Of The Trough
983Masters of the Cult of Piggsicorn.
984!!Tropes:
985* AffablyEvil: The only named one so far, [[MeaningfulName Bloatula]] is very reasonable with Cascadius.
986* BigEater: Their servants constantly shovel fermenting fruit into their mouths.
987* BrotherhoodOfFunnyHats: When idle they give off this vibe. [[NightmareFuel/TheRejuvenationPlay When not idle, however]]
988%%* FatBastard
989* TheGrotesque: Not only are they ridiculously obese and have to be carried around in palanquins but are also riddled with ulcers and open sores owing to their unhealthy lifestyle.
990%%* OmniscientCouncilOfVagueness: See above.
991%%* SmugSnake
992[[/folder]]
993
994[[folder: Senator Royal Flush]]
995!!Royal Flush
996Former Senator of Boulette in league with the Cult and the Mercenaries, press-ganged into more direct service.
997!!Tropes:
998%%* ButtMonkey: For the Mercenaries.
999* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: The only reason he's still alive. [[KickTheDog So Cascadius and the Cult settle for his wife and daughter.]]
1000* CorruptPolitician: Used Cascadius's Mercenaries to get elected.
1001* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He has a wife and daughter. While the former is not highly elaborated on, it's clear he cares quite a bit about his daughter, [[IHaveYourWife something Cascadius takes advantage of]].
1002* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Was very enthusiastic about victimising non-Boulettans and forcefully breaking from the rest of Equestria.
1003* TooDumbToLive: He betrays the Mercenaries who got him his seat in power. Subverted as he's kept unharmed. His wife and daughter, however, aren't so lucky.
1004* UngratefulBastard: The Mercenaries see him as this for trying to sell them out after they got him in power.
1005[[/folder]]
1006
1007%%[[folder: Trilby]]
1008%%!!Trilby
1009%%Royal Flush's daughter and newly-made Oracle for the Cult of Piggsicorn.
1010%%!!Tropes:

1012%%* TheWoobie: Poor, poor Trilby.
1013%%[[/folder]]
1014
1015[[folder: Threadbare]]
1016!!Threadbare
1017The Cult of Piggsicorn's most capable hitpony.
1018!!Tropes
1019* {{BFS}}: His weapon of choice; a double-ended glaive.
1020%%* TheDreaded: Among ''Cascadius's hardened mercenaries!''
1021* FacialHorror: Rarity observes his face resembles torn gunnysack. Most ponies actually think it's a mask at first-glance.
1022%%* MouthStitchedShut
1023%%* PsychoForHire: For the cult.
1024* SerialKiller: A proficient one to earn Cascadius and Najiva's approval.
1025* TheVoiceless: Different to the Echo Squad, Threadbare actually has his lips sown shut.
1026[[/folder]]
1027
1028!!The Mercenary Army
1029[[folder: Cascadius]]
1030!!Cascadius
1031Mysterious mercenary leader who has murdered countless innocents [[spoiler: across a seemingly millennia-long lifetime]] and a mortal enemy of Doctor Whooves.
1032!!Tropes:
1033* AffablyEvil: Mostly. It takes a lot to break his composure.
1034* AndYourLittleDogToo: Deliberately works to kill the loved ones of everyone who opposes him, to [[VictoryThroughIntimidation discourage further opposition]].
1035* AntiMagic: Makes use of a powder that has this effect on ponies, with a side of MindRape. It was invented by Sombra, and Cascadius' access to it following the Crystal Empire's banishment tips off Celestia to his presence.
1036** [[spoiler: He actually gained this knowledge many centuries ago when he captured and ''tortured'' a sixteen-year old Sombra for information!]]
1037* BenevolentBoss: He seems quite chummy with his fellow Mercenaries, treating them like students.
1038* BigBad: Certainly shaping up to serve this role in the second half of the story.
1039* ConsummateProfessional: to the point where his frustration with Countess Glass's lack of such an attitude causes him to [[spoiler:seize control of the operation]] at the end of ''Intriguing''.
1040* CrazyPrepared: Obsessed with preparing for every situation.
1041* CulturedBadass: Appreciates fine music, expensive alcoholic beverages and ancient history. [[spoiler: He even tortures Fancy Pants while playing Gymnopedie No. 1 on a record player.]]
1042* TheDragon: To Countess Magnifying Glass.
1043** DragonInChief: [[spoiler: Forcibly takes charge by the end of ''Intriguing'', sick of the Countess' meddling screwing up his plans to do what she hired him for]].
1044* TheDreaded: Amongst those who know him.
1045* EscapedFromHell: Cascadius' first meeting with the Doctor ends with him being dropped into Tartarus. It wasn't his last meeting.
1046* IHaveManyNames: Is sometimes referred to as ''The Paymaster''. [[spoiler: He went by the name ''Downriver'' when fighting for the Lunar Republic in the Civil War and by the name [[MeaningfulName Trojan]] when fighting for Marephistallion the Deceiver. An old Earth Pony faith calls him the "Warmonger".]]
1047* KnightOfCerebus: He is definitely the most threatening villain so far.
1048* MadeofIron: Catches an iron poker swung with such force that it bends around his hoof with no apparent effect.
1049* MasterOfDisguise: The Doctor describes his as this. It's shown when Cascadius rapidly switches disguises during his attack on Laurelore, well enough to fool a crack squad with a WoundedGazelleGambit.
1050%%* ProfessionalKiller: ...In [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic My Little Pony]]...
1051* Really700YearsOld: He is very old, old enough to have fought the Doctor and Celestia several times in the past.
1052* RescuedFromTheUnderworld: [[spoiler:How Cascadius escaped Tartarus. Marephistallion the Deceiver attempted to build an army by recruiting the prisoners there, and Cascadius was amongst them]].
1053* TranquilFury: A theme of his, contrasting with Countess Glass's ranting and raving.
1054* UnderestimatingBadassery: {{Defied}}. He's very careful to research the Elements' capabilities properly. To his frustration, there's still a lot he can't predict.
1055* UnPerson: Celestia attempted this with Cascadius for his crimes the last time he showed up, and not just with mundane means, she used a very powerful spell to erase every record in the known world. The Doctor later believes it to have been a mistake, allowing him to hide much more effectively.
1056* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:Despite his usual unflappable attitude, he definitely broke down when the Doctor pulled a TakingYouWithMe at the Pit of Tartarus]]
1057* WarForFunAndProfit: Quite happily murders a former employer in order to force a region into civil war he can profit off.
1058* WeNeedADistraction: A recurring theme of his. He will quite happily cause a disaster somewhere close by, however many lives are lost, simply to distract or waylay his opponents.
1059* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: {{Defied}} by Cascadius. He ''will'' shoot first chance he gets, provided a more convenient means of disposal does not exist. {{Lampshaded}} by the Doctor to the Mane 6...
1060-->''Whenever you face one of these major threats, you all make mistakes on your first try. That’s fine. That’s normal. But the thing about Cascadius is'' he doesn’t give you a second try''.''
1061* WoundedGazelleGambit: A trick he uses several times.
1062[[/folder]]
1063
1064[[folder: Bloodhound]]
1065!!Bloodhound
1066Cascadius's foremost lieutenant.
1067!!Tropes:
1068* AnimalMotif: [[MeaningfulName Clue's in the name.]] Though his speckled coat and spiky mane more resembles a hyena.
1069* BloodKnight: He duels [[SergeantRock Shining Armour]] to a standstill and then faces down [[SiblingTeam Cloud Kicker and Flitter]] alone and heavily wounded to [[HoldTheLine buy his allies time to escape]].
1070* CulturedBadass: He produces an authentic knife and proudly details its history...right before using it to kill a stallion.
1071%%* TheDragon: To Cascadius
1072* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumour: He seems to find [[spoiler: [[FateWorseThanDeath what Trilby's being put through]] ]]as well as various instances of murder and torture rather funny.
1073* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has one that goes all the way across his face diagonally. Apparently, a griffon put it there.
1074%%* MacheteMayhem: His preferred close-combat weapon.
1075%%* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast
1076* VillainousFriendship: With Cascadius, hugging him warmly, teasing him, asking about their friends and pleasantly regaling him with [[BreadEggsMilkSquick stories of torture and brutality.]]
1077* WouldHitAGirl: Has a habit of this so far. He once [[DisproportionateRetribution burned a senator's daughter half-to-death when he stiffed him]] and [[spoiler:seemed all too ready to horribly murder Fleur and Carcassonne]]...though he could simply enjoy [[OmnicidalManiac killing in general]].
1078[[/folder]]
1079
1080[[folder: Balisong]]
1081!!Balisong
1082A young but hardened Fillypino mercenary.
1083!!Tropes:
1084* AwesomeAussie: She was raised in Horsetrailia and speaks with the accent and colloquialism. She is also able to [[OffWithHisHead decapitate]] a ''timber wolf'' with a single swing of her glaive.
1085%%* BattleBoomerang: Her weapon of choice, though it's called a ''Glaive''.
1086* BitchInSheepsClothing: Early in the story, she comes across as sane and sensible when compared to the likes of [[TheBrute Bloodhound]], [[ImAHumanitarian Corax]] and [[LaughingMad Gringore]] but, as she later proves, she may be just as bad, if not ''worse'' than the rest of them.
1087%%* DreadlockWarrior
1088%%* EvenEvilHasStandards: Is not a fan of Corax's...[[ImAHumanitarian habits]]...
1089* GetawayDriver: Fills this role at the Storming of the Crossfort, driving an [[CoolAirship airship]].
1090* KickTheDog: [[ColdBloodedTorture Ambushing and torturing]] seven of Ponyville's citizens is bad enough. But after capturing three of them (Caramel, Cherry Berry and Berry Punch), she films the footage of their brutal tortures and sends it to their relatives (Dr Stable Horse, Lemon Zest and Ruby Pinch).
1091%%* PsychoticSmirk: Possesses one when finding captives.
1092%%* {{Sadist}}: Certainly seems to be in the basic sense of the word.
1093* SmugSnake: Around Trixie, seemingly confident that there isn't a thing she can do against her.
1094%%* TortureTechnician
1095* UnusualEuphemism: Repeatedly curses with the word 'Scud'.
1096[[/folder]]
1097
1098[[folder: Blue Murder]]
1099!!Blue Murder
1100A formerly-retired mercenary from Trottingham.
1101!!Tropes:
1102* ActionMom: Kind mother to Tungsten. Also a battle-hardened mercenary working as an interrogator for a collapsing regime.
1103* BadassNormal: She, of all the mercenaries, has very little to set her apart and make her look distinctly threatening. Yet she is, most definitely, a threatening individual.
1104* BoringButPractical: When faced with [[TheBrute Crullion]] she simply hits him in [[AttackItsWeakPoint unguarded but vital spots]], rendering physically unable to fight, rather than match him strength for strength.
1105%%* BrokenBird: Has shades of this.
1106%%* ColdBloodedTorture: Her second greatest skill.
1107%%* ColdSniper
1108%%* ConsummateProfessional
1109* DisproportionateRetribution: A 13 year old colt bullied Tungsten and broke his O&O set, [[spoiler: Blue Murder ''tortured him to death''.]]
1110* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Tungsten means everything to her and apparently is still grieving for her dead husband.
1111* TheGunslinger: Has incredible aim, capable of shooting two targets two times each in swift succession without looking!
1112* MamaBear: Is very, ''very'' protective of her son.
1113* NotInFrontOfTheKid: Works very hard to keep Tungsten from finding out about her job.
1114* OneLastJob: She wants this trope to be in play by ''Call To Arms''. [[AvertedTrope Cascadius can't promise it.]]

1116* TheUnfettered: In contrast to her psychotic compatriots, Blue Murder rarely shows much emotion in battle.

1125%%* CreepyCrows: Makes use of the motif.
1126* FatteningTheVictim: Sometimes. Other times he settles for clean kills (Reminiscent of a hunter) suggesting that, despite being a cannibal, he's not an outright ''sadist''.
1127* FreudianExcuse: As far as anyone knows, he lost his family in a war as a foal, was captured and left to starve to death in a cage until he literally ''slid'' through the bars and glutted himself on the flesh of his captors.
1128* ImAHumanitarian: This is one of his main traits that sets him apart from his comrades. He is actually very skilled at the art (In practice similar to real-life humans cooking meat) but it still [[EvenEvilHasStandards creeps out some of them]].

1310%%* AristocratsAreEvil
1311%%* HateSink: And you thought Nitpick was depraved!
1312* HonorableElephant: Subverted. While Schnortel is a despicable creature, he's a gomphothere, not an elephants. Elephants in the fic are mentioned to exist and are very peaceful and honour-bound beasts. [[SlaveRace They were among the first race the Ivorium Empire set about enslaving]].
1313%%* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: Has this in mind for Fleur de Lis.
1314* JerkAss: In contrast with most of Cascadius's allies, Schnortel isn't very courteous towards him or anyone else.

1369* TheArchmage: Even when in direct conflict with the person holding the InUniverse title.

1372%%* FriendlyRivalry: With Vorpal Blade
1373* GrumpyOldMan: Develops into something of one, as seen in FanFic/{{Warmonger}}.
1374* TheUnishment: Is punished for heretical ideas and endangering lives with his curiousity by being made Royal Tutor, a position that effectively becomes equivalent to Minister for Education, giving him the political clout to actually make the reforms he wanted all along.
1375[[/folder]]
1376
1377[[folder:Vorpal Blade]]
1378A celebrated scholar and politician from [[ViceCity Dunholm]] who brought Equestria into a second GoldenAge as well as founded the [[HunterOfMonsters Slayers Guild]]

1382* AmbiguousDisorder: From the sound of him, he may have had OCD, accounting for his perfectionism and his apparent need to master so many skills.
1383%%* BadassBookworm
1384%%* CoolUncle: To Midnight Blade.
1385* CulturedBadass: One of the most famous in Equestrian history, he was one of the pioneers in what was known as the [[GoldenAge 'Equestrian Renaissance'.]]

1387* FriendlyRivalry: With [[TheArchmage Star-Swirl the Bearded]].
1388%%* JackOfAllTrades

1392%%* PhraseCatcher: [[Series/RedDwarf 'What a guy'.]]

1394* RescueRomance: Zigzagged. When Lusaira of Erivara was due to be sacrificed to a sea monster, he offered to [[TakeMeInstead take her place]], leading her to rescue him.
1395* UniversallyBelovedLeader: Was absurdly popular among the common ponies and foreign allies and soon held sway over most of the court.
1396[[/folder]]
1397
1398[[folder:Popencirque M. Stance]]
1399The inept archmage that is replaced by Star Swirl.
1400!!Tropes:
1401* FantasticRacism: The one quote we have from him is a diatribe on how the world should not be reordered and unicorn's proper place is at the top of the heap.
1402* HateSink: Becomes one InUniverse, hated by most of his students. The FictionalCounterpart to FanFic/MyImmortal is a text written to demonise him (although Archmage Mimic refuses to let it be filed as historical fiction due to the extremity of the demonisation, amongst other inaccuracies).
1403%%* IneptMage: Despite holding the title Archmage.
1404* KickedUpstairs: Despite not having a change in job title, he's effectively demoted to paper-shuffling after Star Swirl's ascent to the role of Royal Tutor, something Star Swirl found deliciously ironic.
1405* {{Nepotism}}: How he holds his title.
1406* ObstructiveBureaucrat: His main job as Archmage, blocking Rememberly's meritocratic reforms.
1407%%* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain
1408%%* PunnyName
1409* UnwittingPawn: The historian Vorpal Blade portrays him as this, and little more, being merely a hedonistic pawn of his family.

1417* BrokenBird: After having to execute Auric, she underwent a bout of depression and self-doubt.
1418* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: With both her sister, Arsenic, and cousin, Lye.
1419* TheHighQueen: Before the Alicorns came, Platinum was seen as the Equestrian equivalent of this trope.
1420* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: InUniverse. Apparently, she wasn't as cold and haughty as the events of Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E13HearthsWarmingEve make her out to be.
1421%%* KickingAssInAllHerFinery
1422* NiceToTheWaiter: Her experience with Clover caused Platinum to make various reforms to help the common folk.

1430%%* TheDragon: To Pansy
1431* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: InUniverse, similar to Platinum above. Apparently his bossiness and meanness were traits Pansy asked him to show [[IDidWhatIHadToDo in order to keep the tribe together]].
1432* NiceGuy: From what history can tell. [[LetsGetDangerous Though he had to get tough later]].
1433%%* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: Of Marcus Agrippa.
1434* WouldHitAWoman: As long as that mare was [[BerserkButton speaking ill of Pansy]], as his [[AbusiveParents mother]] was.

1438[[folder: Chancellor Puddinghead]]
1439The last chancellor of the Earth Pony Republic ruling at the only point it was successfully unified.
1440%%* CloudCuckoolander: Uncertain.
1441* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: It's implied that at least part of her madness/stupidity was faked to lure her enemies into a false sense of security.
1442* {{Gaslighting}}: Did this to some of her enemies, most notably Carbuncle, faking attempts on his life to [[NervousWreck propel him into paranoia]] and eventually cause him to commit suicide.
1443%%* TheHedonist
1444* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: Inverted, VillainDecay, InUniverse, in contrast to the other two above. While she was as mad as the play depicts, [[BewareTheSillyOnes she was far from harmless]].

1486* DoomedHometown: Fletcher's home is destroyed by the Gildenpakt, a rebellion against his parents' overlord.
1487* TheDreaded: In the modern era, they've been ''busy'' with the cult of Piggsicorn and, as revealed in the backstory posts, they've had a reputation for a very long time.
1488* TheEngineer: Fletcher is a capable smith and craftsman, forging a prosthetic limb for Conrad, and later maintaining a large collection of warmachines to help pass the time.
1489* FantasticRacism: White Wolf came into conflict with King Aspen over this, being an outsider learning the ways of the deer.

1493* HappilyAdopted: White Wolf's parents vanished or died when she was young (the details are lost, perhaps deliberately so), but she was taken in by Fallingleaf of the Wolfsong Deer, and seems to consider herself one of them. Certainly, when King Aspen proposes putting her to death, it takes twelve stags to restrain [[PapaWolf Fallingleaf]], and civil war is only[[note]]Temporarily[[/note]] averted by her choosing to leave, rather than see harm come to her family.
1494* HeroicLineage: Fletcher Fray's father [[RescueRomance saved his future wife]], his grandfather [[OneManArmy took down 800 Boarzerkers]], and an even more distant ancestor [[OneHitKill took down the Troll King]].

1504* SuperSpeed: White Wolf, as is to be expected for a pegasus.
1505* TerrorHero: During the Civil War, exaggerated tales of their exploits and ferocity spread far and wide, and historians generally reckon this was at least partially deliberate.

1512!!Tropes:
1513* AnticlimaxBoss: In the Interlude. He possesses Pipsqueak and, momentarily, proves quite formidable against the Doctor and his companions. Then Pipsqueak's asthma kicks in and he's forced to leave his body before he passes out, allowing the Doctor to imprison him.
1514%%* CombatTentacles
1515%%* DemonicPossession: To Pipsqueak. It doesn't do him much good ultimately.
1516* GreaterScopeVillain: Responsible for a lot of villains getting out of Tartarus (including Cascadius), and the effects of his actions occasionally show up (such as his son), but he doesn't have any real impact on the current storyline, due to being (apparently permanently) defeated in the distant past.

1540* EnergyWeapon: His main attack.
1541* FreudianExcuse: Was born a unicorn with an unresponsive horn and so sought to find a power that could surpass the magic he was denied.
1542%%* GigglingVillain

1559* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: While it seems he was responsible for Angel's behaviour in Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E19PuttingYourHoofDown which led to Fluttershy's change and [[TookALessonInJerkass all it entailed]], he promised Marephistallion he'd warp [[FriendToAllLivingThings Fluttershy]] into a [[OmnicidalManiac berserk, bloodthirsty slaughterer]] which, evidently, he failed to accomplish.

1567* DefiantToTheEnd: Dies laughing at Laurelore and mocking her for her defeats and the lives Marephistallion has taken.

1592* TooDumbToLive: They offered [[EvilOverlord Tirek]] a position of [[MiddleManagementMook Auxiliary General]] if he helped them conquer Equestria. [[AFateWorseThanDeath Sufficed to say he didn't think highly of that offer.]]

1596[[folder:The Deer Tribes]]
1597!!Tropes:
