New Flutter Valley


    open/close all folders 

    General 
  • Butterfly of Death and Rebirth: The Flutter Ponies were a Pony tribe that was populous in the First Age until they inexplicably vanished, with heavy implication that they and their ruler, Rosedust, transformed into the Changelings thanks to a combination of Discord's meddling and Emperor Blackthorn's infamous 'Love Poison'. Four Ages later, the Flutter Ponies would slowly be reborn again through Star Flower via artificial means, allowing them to come back as a race.
  • Fantastic Racism: Both Tribalists and Autorists hate the new Flutter Ponies for not fitting their standards of tribal/racial 'purity' and have been trying their hardest to render them truly extinct. These attempts have been met with harsh opposition from various forces, such as the Terran Empire (largely due to Emperor Golden Scepter's close friendship with Star Flower), the Equestrian Principalities, the Bogolenya Deer Pantheon, and naturally, the Changeling Courts themselves.
  • Pretty Butterflies: The Flutter Ponies are a Pony tribe of butterfly-winged Ponies whose magic can counter dark spells and entities such as the Smooze. However, they supposedly went extinct at the end of the First Age due to transforming/evolving into the Changeling race. Thanks to Star Flower, they're able to be reborn again.

    Star Flower, the Last Flutter Pony/Queen Star Flower, the Mother of All Flutter Ponies 

Classification: Ethereal/Ascendant

Portfolio: Flutter Ponies, Survival, Space

Rank: Demi-Goddess

"At first I was afraid. I was petrified! Kept thinking I could never live without folks by my side. But then I spent so many nights thinking how I defied the odds. I was wrong... I learned how to get along!"

Queen Star Flower (her entries here and here) is the Flutter Pony Alicorn demigoddess of Flutter Ponies, Survival, and Space, and is a heroic individual whose status as a member of a lost species has made her a subject of renown.

Star Flower was a Second-Age Flutter Pony and "Lost One" who was lost for millennia after a trip into outer space went seriously awry, returning only tens of thousands of years later, aging little only thanks to relativistic effects of her spacecraft.
  • Abstract Apotheosis: At one point, she was cornered by a group of Tribalists who wanted to kill her as part of their plan to drive the Flutter Ponies to extinction. However, her refusal to back down and protect both Pink Carnation and her parents ends up triggering her Ascension to demi-godhood, giving her the strength to overpower her would-be killers and beat them all up singlehandedly. It turns out the reason why her Ascension was possible in the first place is because Blackrose/Rosedust hid a piece of her own Primordian Quintessence in the royal Flutter Pony crown she gave to Star Flower in a prior meeting.
  • All Your Powers Combined: As a Flutter Pony Alicorn, she has access to the combined magics of all Pony tribes.
  • Anti-Magic: Her Flutter Pony magic cancels out against dark magic, especially corrupting or evil magic, and is extremely effective against such things. Notably, one big reason why Hydianite covens are trying to have her killed is because her racial magic would allow her to specifically affect the dreaded Purple Smooze from the First Age, which modern-day Hydianites are trying to recreate.
  • Anthropomorphic Personification: She's now a Flutter Pony Alicorn demigoddess who embodies Flutter Ponies, Survival, and Space.
  • Ascended Fanboy: She spent much of her life looking up to the stars, and after the Flutter Ponies were united with the other Pony tribes, she joined Ponyland's space program as an astronaut, traveling to the moon and other planets in the Equusian solar system. She ends up being stranded in space for what outsiders perceive as tens of thousands of years thanks to Time Dilation and an experimental relativistic speed engine reacting to various magical anomalies (though she does help free a species of "space manta rays" from their leader, a xenophobic tyrant). After going back to Equus/Tellus in the Fourth Age, her experiences in space would later influence her portfolio when she Ascends to demi-godhood, giving her the domain of Space.
  • Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance: Her Cutie Mark depicts a blue, star-shaped flower, which is fitting considering she was a Second Age astronaut who ended up stranded in time before coming back to her world in the Fourth Age, then later Ascended to demi-godhood as the Alicorn demigoddess of Space.
  • Awesome Moment of Crowning: Empress Blackrose, formerly one of the Flutter Pony Queens to hold the name of Rosedust, gives her the lost crown of the Flutter Ponies, declaring that when the race is restored, she is now their Queen. This later becomes literal once she Ascends to godhood while defending herself from various Autorists and Tribalists who sought to make the Flutter Ponies truly extinct out of Fantastic Racism. As it turned out, Blackrose/Rosedust was clever enough to hide a spark of her own Primordial Quintessence inside the crown, allowing the Ascension to happen in the first place.
  • Blue Is Heroic: She has a dark blue mane and tail, and her Cutie Mark is a blue, star-shaped flower. She's also a heroic Flutter Pony astronaut who liberated the Mobuli race from a xenophobic, fascist regime, literally birthed the Flutter Ponies back into existence after they were transformed into the Changelings, and later became an Alicorn demigoddess by resolving to protect her race (including her daughter, Pink Carnation) from Pony bigots seeking to drive the Flutter Ponies into extinction.
  • Catapult Nightmare: As part of her PTSD, she occasionally wakes up screaming from nightmares where she never returned to Equus at all and instead was still floating in space, having dreamed everything up inside her pod. Thankfully, she is receiving therapy for this.
  • Cold-Blooded Torture: At one point, the Emperor of the Mobuli captured her and poisoned her to torture her for information, worsened by the fact that as an "Alpha" (a royal subtype of Mobuli), he can change the potency of his poison and made his more agonizing to make her likely to spill. Thankfully, she was freed, but she was bedridden for several weeks afterward and later stated the short time she spent being tortured was one of the most physically painful things she ever experienced.
  • Cool Crown: Following her return from outer space in the Fourth Age, she is given the Flutter Pony crown by Empress Blackrose, who claims to have known the legendary Queen Rosedust and wanted her to be Rosedust's successor. It turns out Blackrose is Rosedust and wants her to bring back the extinct Flutter Pony race, though which Rosedust she is is unknown. She has agreed to wear it, but refuses to wear other regalia other than her crown.
  • Earn Your Happy Ending: After being launched into deep space, having to defeat an interplanetary empire, fix her ship, find her way back to Equus, and dealing with being the last of her kind, she ultimately gets her happy ending when crowned the new Queen, and Mother Demi-Goddess, of the Flutter Ponies and living peacefully with her recovering species in New Flutter Valley.
  • Emerald Power: She has green fur, and despite being stranded in space for what appeared to be tens of thousands of years to outsiders, she managed to adapt to her environment, free an alien race from a fascist intergalactic regime, and eventually survive her return trip to Equus. Later on, with a piece of divine essence Blackrose placed in the Flutter Pony crown, she ends up Ascending to demi-godhood as the Alicorn demigoddess of Flutter Ponies, Survival, and Space while fighting a group of Tribalists out of sheer desire to not let the Flutter Ponies die off for real.
  • Ethnic God: As an Alicorn, she embodies all mortal Pony tribes and has their combined magics. She also specifically embodies Flutter Ponies and thus has enhanced versions of their magic, including the "Utter Flutter" ability that killed the Hydianite-created Smooze in the First Age.
  • Fantastic Racism: Both Autorists and Tribalists have constantly been trying to kill her because they see both her and the Flutter Ponies as an affront to Ponykind's racial "purity". As a result, she is put under vigilant protection under numerous benevolent (and villainous) factions, including the Terran Empire, with all attempts to kill her being met with swift, harsh retaliation. Once Pink Carnation is born, their efforts doubled. Fortunately, given her skills and experience as an astronaut, interplanetary rebel, and space pirate, she's very capable in defending herself, as a group of tribalists learned. In fact, what led to her Ascending to demi-godhood was her desire to keep the Flutter Ponies from truly dying out.
  • Freak Out: Doctor Stable notes that she "screamed for a full ten minutes" during her stay in the Ponyville Hospital after learning that she is now the last living Flutter Pony.
  • Gravity Master: As a demigoddess of Space, she can create gravity wells.
  • Gone Horribly Right: The drive her ship used was supposed to allow for interstellar travel with some amount of Time Dilation involved. What actually happened, however, was the drive worked far better than expected. Too well in fact, to the point that she ended up in an alien star system far sooner than she should have... from her perspective, as this caused the Time Dilation effect to be exaggerated and tens of thousand of years had passed for the outside universe.
  • Heavenly Blue: She has a dark blue mane and tail. After coming back to Equus/Tellus in the Fourth Age and learning she's the last living Flutter Pony due to all of them having evolved into the Changeling race, she ends up bonding with Golden Scepter, an ancient Alicorn god who himself experienced similarly massive losses upon waking up in a different time. Since then, she would receive protection from various deities who are interested in helping revive the Flutter Pony tribe, with even the likes of Temnobog and his mortal cultists delivering horrific retribution on the Hydianite covens that tried to harm her. Later, she would Ascend to demi-godhood by fending off a group of Tribalists who tried to kill her and Pink Carnation, becoming the Alicorn demigoddess of Flutter Ponies, Survival, and Space.
  • Heroic BSoD: She experienced a particularly tear-jerking one when she finally returned home to Equus to find that not only three Ages worth of time (some tens of thousands of years) had passed over her trip, but also she is, quite literally, the last of her kind, her Tribe the Flutter Ponies having gone extinct in the intervening time period.
    Doctor Stable: Miss Star Flower screamed for a full ten minutes before we figured out the best way to sedate her.
  • Karmic Jackpot: Her efforts in freeing both the Mobuli and the galaxy she ended up in from a xenophobic, fascist regime would later see her being given the Flutter Pony crown by Empress Blackrose, who crowns her Queen of the (then-extinct) Flutter Ponies and wants her to bring the lost Pony tribe back. In the late Fourth Age, after space exploration becomes available, she discovers that not only the Mobuli started worshping her as a goddess in gratitude for her actions, but also built a statue in tribute to her and her friend Nebula, who had Ascended to godhood since her departure.
    Queen Star Flower Rosedust: Wow... they still remembered me, even after all this time...
    Emperor Auriolus Scaeptrum Terra: Considering all that you've done to bring down a xenophobic tyrant, I wouldn't expect anything less from them.
  • Last of Her Kind: Due to Time Dilation, she ended up returning to Equus tens of thousands of years later to find the Flutter Ponies have gone extinct, making her the last one left. She did not take this well at all. Thankfully, both therapy and Golden Scepter had been helping her recover emotionally and mentally from her losses, while Amicitia and others are trying to repopulate the Flutter Pony tribe by having surrogates sire her offspring, as Star Flower has slowed aging and is still fertile despite pushing forty. This is later averted once people, with divine backing, successfully found a way to revive the Flutter Ponies using her still-fertile eggs, leading to the birth of Pink Carnation and many others. By the time she Ascends to demi-godhood and the "War Against Order" starts, the Flutter Ponies number approximately to 30 adults and an undisclosed number of foals.
  • Legacy Character: Defied. Despite considering renaming herself "Rosedust" as was tradition for all Flutter Pony Queens, she ultimately decides against it after being convinced by Empress Blackrose, who reasons that with the rebirth of the Flutter Ponies, she's essentially the founder of a new royal dynasty. Instead, she makes "Rosedust" her last name.
  • The Magnificent:
    • Known as "the Last Flutter Pony" due to being the last member of her aforementioned race by the time she arrived in Equus during the Fourth Age. Fortunately for her, people like Twilight/Amicitia Sparkle and Golden Scepter are invested in making this temporary by restoring the Flutter Pony tribe.
    • After Ascending to demi-godhood and helping restore the Flutter Pony tribe in the Fourth Age, she adopted a new title, "the Mother of All Flutter Ponies", to display her new status as a royal matriarch and mother goddess of the Flutter Ponies.
  • Malicious Misnaming: She calls the previous Emperor of the Mobuli "the big jerk", owing to him being a fascistic, warmongering, and xenophobic tyrant before he was killed by his benevolent successor, Nebula. In relation, she had taken to calling the fascistic Mobuli Emperor's supports "D.I.M-wits", owing to said Emperor's regime being called the Dominion of Imperial Majesty, which led to her abbreviating the name to D.I.M.
    Star Flower: (battling Mobuli imperial forces) Take that you dust-sprinkled D.I.M.-WITS!
  • Meaningful Rename: Averted. She was originally supposed to rename herself "Rosedust" after becoming Queen of the new Flutter Ponies, as dictated by tradition for previous Flutter Pony Queens. However, Empress Blackrose lets her keep her name on the reasoning that with the rebirth of the Flutter Ponies, she'll be the progenitor of a new royal dynasty.
  • Mix-and-Match Critters: As an Alicorn, she has all of their chimeric traits and can manifest any of them (along with their accompanying powers) at will.
  • Modest Royalty: Downplayed; while she wears the royal Flutter Pony crown, she refuses to wear other regalia outside of it. It's noted that past Flutter Pony Queens had made the same choice as she did due to their affinity for nature.
  • The Needless: As a demigoddess of Space, she no longer needs to breathe in space and is made resistant to its environmental effects.
  • Pals with Jesus: Pre-Ascension, of the three Alicorns she met upon crash-landing on Equus in the Fourth Age, she became the closest to Emperor Golden Scepter. A huge reason behind their friendship is their shared experiences in losing so much in the time they were dormant/stranded elsewhere, and then coming back to find everything they knew was gone. Golden Scepter's support would in part help her overcome her PTSD over being the sole-surviving Flutter Pony at the time, and their connections would grant her backing and protection from the Terran Empire.
  • Personality Powers: Her domain of Flutter Ponies refers to how she, as a surviving Flutter Pony, represented international hope that the Flutter Pony tribe can be rescued from total extinction. Her domains of Survival and Space refers to her adventures/experiences in space and how she ultimately managed to adapt to it, despite the dangers she faced at the time.
  • A Shared Suffering: She bonded with Golden Scepter over the fact that they both had lost so many people in their lives over a long period of time while only they survived for some reason (Golden Scepter's Imperium of Ponykind collapsed while he was in stasis and only learned of it after waking up, while Star Flower became the last living Flutter Pony due to temporal displacement while in space). While she did receive lots of therapy in the meantime, it was Golden Scepter who largely helped with her trauma over her experiences of isolation in space and outliving her own people.
    Emperor Golden Scepter: (to Star Flower) You've survived for all this time, you've done your tribe proud... Do you really want their last ember to die as a whimper?
  • Space Master: As a demigoddess of Space, she can manipulate space in various ways, such as warping space to teleport, creating gravity wells, and distorting space for defensive means. Her domain also makes her perfectly adaptable to space, meaning she no longer needs to breathe in space and is resistant to the downsides of being in space.
  • Tears of Joy: She cried upon seeing several Second-Age Alicorns Princess Stitching Time invited over showing off their Flutter Pony Wings just to assure her that Alicorns represented the Flutter Ponies as well.
  • Thrill Seeker: Her first entry notes that she is a constant thrill-seeker. This led to her befriending Patch and her family, and her being one of the first Flutter Ponies to move to the outside world following Queen Starcatcher's unification of all Pony tribes. It also factored into her decision to become an astronaut, and her fateful decision to travel through space to test an experimental relativistic speed engine.
  • Wowing Cthulhu: She impressed the dreaded King Brachion of the Changeling Summer Court with her feats of survival out in space — so much that Brachion genuinely offered to help her revive the Flutter Pony tribe using her genetic samples (though part of it was to help the Summer Court improve relationships between the Changeling Spring Court and the Principalities of Equestria). Many are concerned of what Brachion might do to make the new Flutter Ponies "better" survivors, however, and thus his offer is still pending international approval.
  • You Are Not Alone: Princess Stitching Time assures her that she is not entirely alone, and proves it by inviting all the Second-Age Alicorns, including Shamrock, Tough Love, and Blue Suede Heartstrings, to visit Star Flower and show off their Flutter Pony traits to show their support. This caused Star Flower to cry Tears of Joy as she hugged everyone.
    Princess Stitching Time: Star Flower?
    Star Flower: Yes, Stitching? (sees other Alicorns approaching them) Wait... what?
    Princess Stitching Time: You're not alone, at least not entirely. We all understand, and we're all here for you.

    Pink Carnation 

Character: Heroic

Alignment: Neutral Good

Type: Filly/Flutter Pony/Newborn/Tropical Pony

Faction: Principalities of Equestria


Pink Carnation (her entry here) is an infant Flutter Pony who is the result of others' attempts to revive the Flutter Pony race.
  • Cheerful Child: In her infancy, she was a cheerful, loving baby who loves to play and meet other children. She's also rather affectionate to Star Flower, who is her "second mother" via in-vitro fertilization.
  • Extra Parent Conception: A realistic example — she was born via in-vitro fertilization, and technically is the daughter of Phoenix Flare (biological father), Citrus Storm (surrogate mother and partial genetic donor), and Star Flower (biological mother).
  • Fantastic Racism: As a Flutter Pony, many Pony Tribalists and Autorists see her as "inferior" to their own tribe/race and seek to kill her to render the Flutter Ponies extinct. Fortunately, she and her parents are heavily protected by various groups interested in helping recreate the Flutter Ponies, including the Terran Empire, the Changeling Courts, the Equestrian Crown, and others.
  • Floral Theme Naming: She is named "Pink Carnation" after the Carnation flower, and pink carnations symbolize love and remembrance. It's rather fitting since she's the first Flutter Pony to be born after thousands of years following their extinction, and thus represents their hope of coming back as a Flutter Pony tribe.
  • Long-Lived: As a Flutter Pony, she is capable of living far longer than the average Pony, much like Earth Ponies. By the time she reached adulthood, a century had passed and the Flutter Ponies had repopulated themselves to a decent number.
  • Mutants: She is a Tropical Pony due to inheriting the mutation from her father, Citrus Storm, and thus has both fire powers and heat resistance.
  • Pink Means Feminine: She inherited her pink fur from her father, and she's a cheerful, loving baby who loves to play and meet other children.
  • Playing with Fire: Due to inheriting the Tropical Pony mutation from her father, Citrus Storm, she can both generate heat and is resistant to it. This has combined with her racial "Utter Flutter" power to make her wings' magical dust superheated, making it stronger compared to other Flutter Ponies. However, being a baby, she had poor impulse control; it's noted her parents were lucky they already fire-proofed their house to accommodate Citrus Storm's mutation.

    Orchid 
A stuffed parrot owned by Star Flower.
  • Can't Move While Being Watched: Due to him undergoing the process of becoming a Tulpa, it moves on its own when no one is looking. This is later averted once he becomes a real parrot, landing on Queen Star Flower's hoof in full view of everyone.
  • Companion Cube: He was Star Flower's constant companion while she was trapped in space for the equivalent of three Ages, and her treating her like he's a real parrot gradually transformed him into a Tulpa.
  • Pirate Parrot: Sort of. While he started off as a stuffed parrot, Star Flower constantly treated him like one during her time as a space pirate launching raids against the Mobuli's fascist regime. By the time he became a real parrot, Star Flower had become Queen of the Flutter Ponies and an Alicorn demigoddess.
  • Tulpa: He's a stuffed parrot who Star Flower had and treated as real, resulting in it become a tulpa and her pet. By the time Star Flower Ascended to (demi-)godhood, was crowned Queen of the Fourth Age's Flutter Ponies, and helped found New Flutter Valley, he had become a real parrot.

The Fjellklan

    General 
  • Deity of Human Origin: Save for Iteshk, the Fjellklan were originally mortals who ultimately decided to transcend their equine limits and become divine Elementals.
  • Elemental Embodiment: The core members of the Fjellklan are gods who embody certain elemental and/or weather phenomena. They were originally mortal Ponies, but after saving the Wise Magician of Misty Mountain from being trapped in a cave, they were granted the power to turn themselves into Elementals. Despite the risk of losing their equinity every time they used it, the Fjellklan ultimately agreed to permanently turn into Elementals after realizing the benefits outweighed the costs, leading to them Ascending to godhood while in that state.
  • Giver of Lame Names: They called themselves the "Mountain Boy Ponies" out of love for mountain-trekking. It's noted that First Age Ponies were not really creative in naming things.
  • True Companions: The Fjellklan started off as a group of close friends who loved mountain-trekking, and were fiercely loyal to each other. Later, they would extend their friendship to Queen Rosedust (who eventually became Empress Blackrose) and Iteshk, a divine Dragon. They eventually estranged themselves from Blackrose after she let her PTSD turn her into a monstrously abusive, hateful bigot, but they made it clear that they never cut ties with her completely and are willing to welcome her back if she's genuinely willing to change.

    Thundercloud/King Torden, the Mountain King 

Classification: Elemental/Ascendant

Portfolio: Clouds, Sound, Rain

Rank: Divine (Tier IV/Greater)


King Torden, born Thundercloud (his entry here), is an Elemental god and leader of the Fjellklan.
  • Anthropomorphic Personification: He's a Pony god who embodies Clouds, Sound, and Rain.
  • Meaningful Name: His birth name was "Thundercloud". This would later become prophetic when he becomes a Thunder Elemental and Ascends to godhood as one years later.

    Fireball 

Classification: Elemental/Ascendant

Portfolio: [WIP]

Rank: Divine (Tier IV/Greater)

    Ice Crystal 

Classification: Elemental/Ascendant

Portfolio: [WIP]

Rank: Divine (Tier IV/Greater)

    Lightning 

Classification: Elemental/Ascendant

Portfolio: [WIP]

Rank: Divine (Tier IV/Greater)

    Sunburst 

Classification: Elemental/Ascendant

Portfolio: [WIP]

Rank: Divine (Tier IV/Greater)


  • Cooldown Hug: He hugged Iteshk and talked her down during her rampage.
  • One-Steve Limit: Averted. One of his surviving Fourth Age descendants is a Unicorn mage named Sunburst.
  • The Power of the Sun: He's a Solar Elemental, and thus has power over sun and solar plasma.

    Tornado 

Classification: Elemental/Ascendant

Portfolio: [WIP]

Rank: Divine (Tier IV/Greater)

    Iteshk, the Dragon of Sorrow 

Classification: Elemental/Ethereal

Portfolio: Stories, Swamp, Safe-Passage, Sorrow, Graveyards

Rank: Divine (Tier IV/Greater)


Iteshk (her entry here) is the Ryujin of Stories, Swamp, Safe-Passage, Sorrow, and Graveyards, and is an honorary member of the Fjellklan.
  • Anthropomorphic Personification: She's a Ryujin goddess who originally embodied Stories, Swamp, Safe-Passage. Following her transformation and re-Ascension, the domains of Sorrow and Graveyards are added to her portfolio.
  • Dragons Are Divine: She's a Ryujin, albeit one who underwent a great transformation following the cruel massacre of her mortal worshipers. Specifically, she's a 'Child of Bahamut', Dragons who value knowledge, learning, and/or intelligence.
  • Fantastic Racism: Her mortal worshipers were slaughtered by racist 'Tinies' who saw all dragons as monsters when in fact her worshipers were entirely benevolent. Even tragic by the fact they were benevolent Black Dragons, meaning Iteshk had put in the time, effort, and benevolence to make one of the cruelest types of dragons become genuinely benevolent... only for it to be destroyed out of hate.
  • The Magnificent: Known as "the Dragon of Sorrow".
  • Sole Survivor: She's the only survivor of the dragons she'd befriended and was the patron goddess of. Their demise is what sent her on a rampage and sparked her transformation in the first place.
