** Normally, [[PrincessesRule Princess]] [[GodEmperor Celestia]] is very calm and collected, and seems to enjoy having a little fun with her subjects now and then. Then we have the first part of \\\"The Return of Harmony\\\", where she smacks the villain with a ShutUpHannibal TWICE, and then tells him point-blank to quit screwing around and answer her questions. He begrudgingly tosses out a riddle and leaves before she can grill him any further.
*** In the season two finale we finally see Celestia fight, complete with PreAsskickingOneLiner. [[spoiler:True, [[TheWorfEffect she loses]], but that surprised EVERYONE, including the villian]].
*** In the Season 3 opening episode, we see Twilight entering the main room of the Canterlot Castle, only to find a \\\'\\\'very pissed off\\\'\\\' Celestia, going as far to practically bring Twilight Sparkle to TEARS!! Granted, it\\\'s just Sombra\\\'s dark spell, but still... Makes you decide NOT to anger the Demigod in the first place!
--> \\\'\\\'\\\'Princess Celestia\\\'\\\'\\\': It doesn\\\'t matter to me, *face turns to Twilight, angered* you \\\'\\\'FAILED\\\'\\\' the test, Twilight!
** Twilight Sparkle is the poster mare for {{Adorkable}} and NoSocialSkills, whose passion for knowledge is only challenged by her desire to be a good friend. She\\\'s also the most powerful unicorn in Equestria with an \\\'\\\'incredible\\\'\\\' well of magic at her disposal, and is entirely capable of unleashing the hurt on anypony she desires. \\\"Lesson Zero\\\" even shows that she\\\'s just as capable of sowing chaos and disharmony as Discord.
** [[GenreSavvy You\\\'d think]] that the [[ThePollyanna perpetually cheerful]] GenkiGirl with borderline RealityWarper powers would be an excellent candidate for this trope, but Pinkie Pie repeatedly subverts it. In \\\"Griffon the Brush Off\\\", her reaction to proof that Gilda is a grade-A jerkface is to throw her a party, because she thinks Gilda is just stressed and needs to unwind. In \\\"Party of One\\\", when she thinks her friends have abandoned her she avoids them altogether and throws her own party with various {{Companion Cube}}s, in stark contrast to the far more destructive {{Sanity Slippage}}s of Fluttershy and Twilight. And when Applejack breaks a Pinkie Promise in \\\"The Last Roundup\\\" she [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8O9HVV-vPMM breaks out the scary voice]], leads a pursuit across the desert, and when she finally catches her she... demands Applejack apologise.
** Rarity is [[TheFashionista obsessed with style, grace and glamour]], and as the Element of Generosity she is usually willing to help in any way she can. She also doesn\\\'t hesitate to \\\'\\\'kick a manticore in the face\\\'\\\' or fight a gang of (adolescent) dragons to defend her friends.
-->\\\'\\\'\\\'Rarity\\\'\\\'\\\': [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-JBaCpiAxo Fighting\\\'s not really my thing, I\\\'m more into fashion]], but I\\\'ll \\\'\\\'\\\'rip you to pieces\\\'\\\'\\\' if you \\\'\\\'touch one scale on his cute little head!\\\'\\\'
*** And while her fellow unicorn Twilight uses magic to fight, Rarity prefers to pummel her foes with [[GoodOldFisticuffs her two front hooves]]. And still look classy doing it.
** Princess Cadance [[spoiler:(the real one)]] is a kind and sweet LoveGoddess and used to work as a babysitter. [[spoiler:However, when she is kidnapped and her husband-to-be is about to marry her evil double, she shows nothing but [[{{Determinator}} determination]], repeatedly defies the changeling queen (even after said queen defeats [[PhysicalGoddess Princess Celestia]]), and then helps deliver the HeartBeatdown that blows the changelings \\\'\\\'across the continent!\\\'\\\']]
*** Then in the season 3 opener she maintains a field of light and love around the Crystal Empire that manages to keep King Sombra, a unicorn EvilOverlord that took both her aunts to defeat the first time, out for what was likely \\\'\\\'days\\\'\\\'. This, combined with his horrific treatment of his [[SlaveRace subjects]], leads to her [[spoiler:setting up another love-powered WaveMotionGun and telling his subjects DoWithHimAsYouWill. The end result is King Sombra being \\\'\\\'obliterated\\\'\\\'.]]
** \\\'\\\'All\\\'\\\' of the Mane 6 qualify for this if they are forced to fight. A good example is [[spoiler:what happened with Discord. He pretty much did \\\'\\\'everything\\\'\\\' physically possible (and some things [[RealityWarper that weren\\\'t]]) to [[ItsPersonal make it personal]] and generally put them through a living hell. They turn him [[TakenForGranite back to stone]] with pretty much \\\'\\\'no\\\'\\\' hesitation at all.]]
*** The trend continues with [[spoiler:the fight against the Changelings. Every single one of them, even FLUTTERSHY, does surprisingly well against them, in a CrowningMomentOfAwesome fashion no less. Literally the only reason they don\\\'t win is because the BigBad has \\\'\\\'hundreds\\\'\\\' of Changelings at her disposal, allowing her to overcome them [[ZergRush through sheer force of numbers.]]]]
So we have things like \\\"she\\\'s nice, but she\\\'s still determined\\\" or \\\"she speaks to someone sternly\\\" or \\\"there was an illusion of this character acting nasty.\\\"
I\\\'ll rewrite this, removing most of it.
