General
Blood Feather
An Earth pony stallion, and an age-mate of Gleaming Shield and Radiant Primrose in one of their earliest lifetimes.
- The Bully: Was initially this, largely because the death of his parents from a plague left him without any guidance. His most frequent target was the second Gleaming Shield, who he envied for being so close to his crush, the first Radiant Primrose. He eventually stopped being this after going to the Surface, where he underwent Character Development and ultimately proved himself to be a valuable ally in the fight against Demise.
- Demonic Possession: Demise's evil possessed him by taking advantage of his sadness towards Radiant Primrose choosing Gleaming Shield over him. This resulted in Blood Feather rampaging across Hyrule, taking Radiant Primrose for himself while attempting to kill Gleaming Shield. Fortunately, his good side took control long enough for him to die on Gleaming Shield's sword, saving his friends and freeing him from Demise's influence... but it turned out to be all for naught as some part of Demise's evil stayed with him after he was reincarnated as Blood Fang, technically playing this trope straight.
- Evil Redhead: Was born with bright red hair, and initially a bully who picked on weaker kids as well as those he didn't like, such as the second Gleaming Shield. Subverted later on once he left Skyloft and landed on the Surface; after witnessing Gleaming Shield's courage and actions, he gained a sense of respect for his former victim and gradually revealed himself to be a talented builder and inventor. He ended up playing a role in Demise's defeat twice, though the second time resulted in his early death. Unfortunately for him, it gets played straight again once he's reincarnated into Blood Fang, one of the most feared villains in Equus and Hyrule's constant enemy.
- Expy: Of Groose. Like him, Blood Feather was a pompous and petty red-headed bully who initially tormented Gleaming Shield for being closely associated with his crush, Radiant Primrose. But once he left Skyloft and traveled to the Surface, he changed his ways and became an invaluable ally in the fight against Demise and his forces.
- Forgotten Fallen Friend: His death via Heroic Sacrifice would haunt his friends for the rest of their lives until they reincarnated. Possibly justified as because of Hylia's wish, Gleaming Shield and Radiant Primrose are put in an eternally reincarnating cycle, so they couldn't possibly retain any memories of their past lives. But if anything, it just makes Blood Feather's story more tragic, as he became more known as their Eternal Foe, Blood Fang the Dark Conqueror.
- Heel–Face Turn: Once he went to the Surface where he witnessed Gleaming Shield's courage and actions, he stopped being a bully and redeemed himself by revealing himself to be a talented inventor. This would help Gleaming Shield on his quest to save Radiant Primrose, and when Demise was revived, Blood Feather would work together with Impa to save Radiant Primrose's soul, weakening Demise just enough for Gleaming Shield and a revived Radiant Primrose to kill him.
- Heroic Sacrifice: While possessed by Demise's evil, he managed to regain control long enough to fall on Gleaming Shield's sword so he could free himself and save his friends. This allowed Gleaming Shield to get rid of the greater demon's remains for good... however, later on it would turn out to be a Senseless Sacrifice as he would end up going down as one of the most notorious villains in Equus's history as "Blood Fang, the Dark Conqueror".
- Murder the Hypotenuse: Implied; after he was possessed by Demise's evil, he rampaged throughout Hyrule, taking Radiant Primrose for himself while trying to kill Gleaming Shield. Fortunately, his good self regained control long enough to kill himself with Gleaming Shield's sword to save his friends, and free himself from Demise's influence.
- Senseless Sacrifice: Though Demise ceased to exist because of him, it later turned out to be all for nothing, as Blood Feather would later became known as Blood Fang after he was reincarnated, with parts of Demise's evil still in him.
- Posthumous Character: He died long before the story starts, having killed himself to save Hyrule and his friends after he was possessed by Demise's evil. Ironically and tragically, his name and legacy would be sullied by his reincarnation/descendant, Blood Fang, who would become a feared villain bent on conquering Hyrule.
- Unrequited Love: His crush for Radiant Primrose, both because of her Reincarnation Romance with Gleaming Shield, and his bullying attitude (initially). His sadness at hearing the news of his friends' upcoming marriage was what allowed Demise's evil to possess him and wreak havoc in Hyrule, the first thing being taking Radiant Primrose for himself while attempting to kill Gleaming Shield. His good self eventually took control long enough to make himself fall on Gleaming Shield's sword to save his friends and free himself from Demise.
- Winged Unicorn: Demise's Demonic Possession of him warped his body, transforming Blood Feather into a monstrous Alicorn with boar-like traits. Ironically, he was most popularly depicted as an Alicorn after he was reincarnated as Blood Fang.
