!Tropes that apply to more than two characters:
*ButtMonkey: Spike, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Twilight, and Princess Luna are all disliked and abused by the rest of the cast, sometimes for no good reason. Which of them is the most disliked varies from episode to episode.
* CanonForeigner: Through the magic of redubbing and creative editing, new characters are created from whole cloth. So far, these include Snuggle Berry, Mutation, and The Orb.
* HollywoodToneDeaf: As demonstrated at the end of "The Best Episode Ever", the mane six can't harmonize with each other worth a damn. Some of them, like Pinkie and Rarity, can at least carry a tune alone, while Twilight and Fluttershy can't even manage that much. Naturally, Twilight and Fluttershy do the most singing in the "UFP Sings Tainted Love" bonus video. In the captions, Wacarb cries that they're making ''his'' ears bleed.
* InformedAttribute: Nearly all of Ponyville is allegedly shy in "All A Boot Shy":
-->'''Iron Will:''' Okay, if I could just have the shyest pony here raise their hoof in front of the entire audience...\\
''[Every pony in the audience raises a hoof.]''\\
'''Iron Will:''' Okay, I didn't really expect that, what with this being a seminar for shy ponies and all.
* TheIrishMob: The entire Apple clan. Apple farming is just a front for theft, fixing fights, selling drugs, other illegal activities, and speaking with Irish accents.
* OnlySaneMan: Twilight, Applejack, Spike, and Scootaloo each serve as the sole voice of reason in different specific contexts.
* StaticCharacter: Everyone except Rarity, according to "So Random":
-->'''Twilight:''' Well, have you tried having some character development?\\
'''Pinkie:''' Well, I ''was'' going to, but apparently only Rarity's allowed to do that.
* VocalDissonance: Applies to nearly every female character, [[CrossdressingVoices since it's one guy doing all the voice work]]. Rarity's nasally Australian accent and Sweetie Belle's gravelly growl are the most pronounced examples.

A magical prodigy and completely insufferable world savior. Twilight is convinced that she knows more than anyone else in Ponyville--and sometimes she's correct about this. She has a vague and creepy matriarchal relationship with Spike.
Speaks with a (hyper-rhotic) American accent.
*BadBadActing: When she plays the role of Clover in the Hearth's Warming Eve play, she isn't as flagrantly bad as Rarity (see below)--all the same, Twilight breaks character to correct her fellow actors, and the dramatic death scene is clearly beyond her acting range.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Celestia’s {{tsundere}} feelings for Twilight are well-documented (see below) but there’s a single bit suggesting that Twi reciprocates. In the song “At the Gala”, the choir refers to Celestia as “[Twilight’s] secret crush”. But if that’s true, Twi does a very good job of hiding her feelings—she mainly seems to be annoyed and afraid of Celestia.
* ButtMonkey: Twilight is completely abandoned by her friends on her birthday. When Luna arrives in Ponyville, Twilight's ecstatic that "Someone is even more hated in Ponyville than I am!"
* CannotTellAJoke: Every time she tries to tell a joke to the others, the results aren't pretty. Everyone agrees her "new joke" (in "One Joke to Rule Them All") needs more work, and that her joke at Rainbow Dash's expense (in "Reading to Rainbow") is too mean to be funny. (To really rub salt in the wounds, each of those are followed up by someone else telling an equally lame joke, and everybody laughing at ''that''.) Her attempted QuipToBlack (in "C.S.Pie") just gets silence from everyone.
* CaptainObvious: She dips into this occasionally.
** Her very first lines in the very first episode:
-->'''Twilight:''' According to this book I'm reading, the world is going to end soon! I think that might be bad.
** In "Shameless Self Reference", as Rarity falls from Cloudsdale towards the ground:
-->'''Twilight:''' I'm not sure, but I think that might end badly.
** In "Derp and Destruction":
-->'''Twilight:''' Well guys, in our attempt to run away from Derpy, we've made it here, into the desert!\\
'''Rainbow Dash:''' Thanks for the update, Captain Obvious.\\
'''Twilight:''' Hey, there's nothing wrong with a little recap.\\
'''Fluttershy:''' It hasn't even been five minutes yet!
* CargoShip: [[invoked]] From "Forgettershy":
-->'''Twilight:''' Oh, abacus, sometimes I think you're the only one who understands me... What's that? You say you want to get married? But what will the telescope think?
* CatchPhrase: "Dammit!" Though she says it quite a bit less in season 2.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In "Mob Wars", Twilight warns Ponyville about the arrival of "dirty illegal immigrants!" This is somewhat at odds with her being the only pony in the mane six who ''isn't'' racist, a point of characterization that's introduced in ''the very next episode'' and sticks around for the rest of the series.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Twilight isn't hailed as a hero for saving the world multiple times; instead, she's one of [[ButtMonkey the most hated ponies in Ponyville]]. It's implied that she brings it on herself by being such an insufferable know-it-all.
* EmbarrassingMiddleName: Judging by her TrustPassword conversation with her own future self, either her middle name is a secret, or her middle name ''is'' Secret. Twilight Secret Sparkle.
* ForScience: Her justification for stalking Pinkie Pie. "Nothing's illegal if it's for science!"
* FutureMeScaresMe: In "Time":
-->'''Twilight:''' I've just been visited by me from the future. And me in the future is an annoying jerk! So if you ever see me in the future, I want you to punch her in the face for me!\\
'''Pinkie Pie:''' I feel like Twilight doesn't really understand time.\\
''[SmashCut to Twilight, with a bruised face]''\\
'''Twilight:''' I didn't mean the immediate future!
* HollywoodToneDeaf: In "Gossip Girls", the local newspaper runs an article about what a terrible singer Twilight is. She denies it and tries to show off her skills, and just succeeds in proving the newspaper right.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: [[DependingOnTheWriter Sometimes.]] In some episodes she's driven to madness by the thought that Ponyville doesn't like her. In others, she hates everyone and doesn't care what they think about her.
* InsufferableGenius: Much more so than in canon.
-->'''Apple Bloom:''' Whoever told us reading was fun was lying!\\
'''Twilight:''' Oh, girls. Reading isn't about fun, it's about pretending you're better than everyone else.
* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Much as she loves to correct others, she's completely off-base just as much as the rest.
-->'''Applejack:''' You know, Twilight, for a pony who's really smart, ''you're really stupid.''
* MyBelovedSmother: Twilight knows what's best for Spike, and she won't let something minor like the laws of nature get in her way.
-->'''Twilight:''' Sorry, Applejack, but Spike's gone crazy! And by crazy I mean he's acting normal for a dragon, but crazy for a pony. Which he should be.
* NeverMyFault: She occasionally suffers from a weird form of denial.
** In "The Canon Has Misfired":
-->'''Twilight:''' Spike, [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny we have a new mission]]. I'm going to ''take that pony down!''\\
'''Spike:''' But what about the end of the world?\\
'''Twilight:''' Oh, you ''bet'' I'm going to end her world!\\
''[Later]''\\
'''Spike:''' Master, weren't we supposed to be doing something very important?\\
'''Twilight:''' ... No.\\
''[Even later, Night Moon Mare returns, intending to bring about the end of the world.]''\\
'''Twilight:''' Dammit, I knew I forgot something! Why didn't Spike remind me?!
** In "Ponynet Fight!", Twilight insists that her magic isn't working because Spike isn't concentrating hard enough (and she pointedly refuses to explain why ''her'' magic needs ''Spike's'' concentration).
* ObliviousToLove: She's completely unaware of Princess Celestia's [[{{tsundere}} feelings for her]]. In "How Not to Train Your Dragon", it goes from believable to ComicallyMissingThePoint:
-->'''Chet:''' ''[reading a letter from Celestia]'' Dear Twilight... Can't hold it in any longer... Blah blah blah blah blah. Aw, it's just a boring love letter.\\
'''Twilight:''' That doesn't make any sense. Why would Celestia send me a glove letter? I don't wear gloves.\\
'''Rarity:''' You and I need to have a talk when we get back, Twilight.
* OnlySaneMan: Specifically on the topic of racism. Twilight is the only pony in Ponyville who ''isn't'' a complete xenophobe.
* SirSwearsalot: "Dammit!" is her catch phrase, and she's the one cussing in most of the CurseCutShort and ClusterBleepBomb gags so far.
* StaticCharacter: As noted in "So Random":
-->'''Twilight:''' Hey! I had character development!\\
'''Pinkie:''' Bro, that was like, one time at the start of the very first season. You haven't changed since then at all.
* SuperOCD: Unlike canon, this mainly manifests as her correcting other ponies (and sometimes the narrator) over really minor mistakes.
-->'''Twilight:''' It's not OCD! It's ABCD! [[FunWithAcronyms Aggressively Belligerent Compulsive Disorder]]! See, my way makes more sense! Why doesn't anyone ever listen to my opinions?!
* SurroundedByIdiots: She's often frustrated by the stupidity of everyone around her. For example, in "Forgettershy":
-->'''Rainbow Dash:''' Uugh. [[HypocriticalHumor These ponies are so stupid.]] Do you ever feel like you're surrounded by idiots, Twilight?\\
'''Twilight:''' ''Each and every day.''\\
'''Rainbow Dash:''' Really? Wow. What about today?\\
'''Twilight:''' ''Every. Day.''\\
'''Rainbow Dash:''' Oh, what about tomorrow?
* TheVoice: Twilight Sparkle is reduced to speaking from just off-screen in "Sister Angst".
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Spike]]
->''"Yes, master?"''
Twilight's long-suffering personal assistant, and possibly her son (or daughter). Speaks with a German-ish "Igor" accent.
* ButtMonkey: He regularly serves as a source of free labor ("I prefer the term enforced volunteer") and physical comedy ("I swear, it's like everyone hates me or something!").
* CuckoolanderCommentator: In "Rocks, Clocks, and Two Stupid Ponies", he and Pinkie Pie spend all their time talking about how high they are, and never get around to commenting on the race.
* GenderBender: He's been castrated, and Twilight flip-flops between referring to Spike as her daughter and as her son.
* TheIgor: Spike refers to Twilight as "Master" and has a (hilariously bad) German accent.
* ManOfAThousandVoices: Switches to completely different accents on several occasions: a SeanConnery impression in "Hippocratic Oafs", a [[WelcomeToTheCaribbeanMon Jamaican accent]] in "Utter Lunacy", a "Santa Claus" voice in "The Best Episode Ever", and the FratBro accent in "How Not to Train Your Dragon".
* NiceHat: At Cadance and Shining Armor's wedding, the captions note that "Spike is wearing a nice hat. That is all."
* OlderThanHeLooks: Even though most of the cast treat him like a baby, he's 67 years old.
* OnlySaneMan: When Twilight goes off the deep end, Spike tries (and usually fails) to talk reason into her.
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Spike has a pretty good German accent in the Pilot episode, but it's degenerated into something like a mix of Jamaican and German.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Applejack]]
->''"Oh, nothing. We're just a... we're just a normal family. No need to get the law involved. We sell apples, we sell apples." [winks]''
A hard-workin' Irish farmpony, mindin' the family business! What kind of business? "The ''none-of-your-damn-business'' kinda business!"
She speaks with an Irish accent, as does most of her extended family.
* AffablyEvil: She's very outgoing and friendly when she isn't extorting ponies or busting kneecaps.
* ComicallySmallBribe:
** Inverted in "The Penny and Clyde Show":
-->'''Discord:''' Applejack, I want you to betray Twilight.\\
'''Applejack:''' How dare you! I would never betray my friends for no reason.\\
'''Discord:''' I'll give you a neverending apple!\\
'''Applejack:''' Ha, the joke's on you! I'da betrayed Twilight for just a regular apple!\\
'''Discord:''' Oh, whatever.
** In the very next episode, Twilight uses it to get AJ back on her side:
-->'''Twilight:''' Applejack! I need you to break your deal with Discord. And as payment, I will give you a regular apple!\\
'''Applejack:''' What, you think I'd go back on a deal just for one regular apple? What kind of pony do you think I am?\\
'''Twilight:''' ''Two'' regular apples!\\
'''Applejack:''' Yeah! Let's go kill Discord!
* NoNameGiven: The character she plays in the Hearth's Warming Eve play.
-->'''Chancellor Councilor's assistant:''' So, guys, I don't think my character got a name. Is that important? 'Cause I don't have a name.
* OnlySaneMan: Aside from the fact that she's completely morally bankrupt, Applejack is the most practical and level-headed of the mane six.
* RaisedCatholic:
-->'''Applejack:''' "Faithless heathen"? Screw you, I'll have you know I'm Catholic!\\
'''Twilight:''' Wait a minute. You're a Catholic?\\
'''Applejack:''' Yeah...\\
'''Twilight:''' But you don't believe in God.\\
'''Applejack:''' Of course I don't! I'm Catholic!
* StickyFingers (Sticky Hooves?): So far, her confirmed steals include trees, Twilight's bicycle, and Twilight's medical supplies. And, on at least one occasion, "everything from everybody".
* SurroundedByIdiots:
** In "Faith to Faith:"
-->'''Applejack:''' Oh, this must be how Twilight feels all the time.
** In "Reading to Rainbow":
-->'''Applejack:''' Well, don't take this the wrong way, but I'm going to leave now in case it turns out stupidity is contagious.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Rainbow Dash]]
->''"I, like, totally ruined your hair! And I'm not even going to apologize!"''
An athletic pegasus who frequently breaks records in both airspeed and stupidity. She deliberately gets on everyone's nerves, then doesn't understand why nobody likes her.
Claims to be Swahili, and sounds like a ValleyGirl.
* {{Angrish}}: Her grasp on the language is weak at the best of times, so when she gets emotional she tends to degenerate into complete gibberish.
-->'''Rainbow Dash:''' Wait a minute, you guys hate me because I'm blue? ''[distraught]'' Iwuhwoowah! Iwuh I can't believe you guys! Rrrlrhalrurah!
* ButtMonkey: She a HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood, and her only friend outside the mane six was the late Snuggle Berry. She can coerce Twilight by threatening to hang out with her all day. When Apple Bloom needs to lay low for a while, she does this by visiting Rainbow Dash. In Twilight's dream of a Ponyville with all its problems solved, Rainbow Dash's death is a prerequisite for the utopia.
* ChildhoodBrainDamage: Alluded to in "Pinkie's Day In":
-->'''Mrs. Cake:''' You're not supposed to throw babies.\\
'''Rainbow Dash:''' Seriously? My second foster parents used to throw me all the time!\\
'''Mrs. Cake:''' [[ThisExplainsSoMuch That explains so much]] that I didn't care about.
* TheDitz: She and logic are not on speaking terms. Even though this is a show where everyone is prone to moments of ComicallyMissingThePoint or InsaneTrollLogic, Dash still manages to stand out as the dumbest character. The most blatant example: she can't tell the difference between road signs and clocks, and she thinks that changing the time on a clock is the same thing as time traveling.
-->'''Rainbow Dash:''' Wait, guys! I'm about to have a brilliant idea!\\
'''Twilight:''' A great idea by Rainbow Dash might just be good enough to be average! Let's try it.
* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: She's never had any friends prior to the mane six, and the longest she's ever stayed with a single foster family was one week. When the parasprites turn violent, Dash's reaction is "My new family's trying to kill me [[OhNoNotAgain again]]!"
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: When she isn't being a jerk to people, she's lamenting that no one at all likes her.
* InelegantBlubbering: Whenever she gets really upset, her blubbering is nigh-impossible to understand.
* JerkassWoobie: [[invoked]] Terribly obnoxious to everyone, but really just wants to find friends or family to love her. Eventually lampshaded during the Gala song:
-->'''Rainbow Dash''': I just want to be loved for once at the gala.\\
'''The Choir''': No pony likes Rainbow Dash / Because she is annoying / But now I kind of pity her / No wait, the feeling has passed
* NeverLearnedToRead: She's illiterate. Humorously, this means [[MediumAwareness she can't understand Scootaloo because all of her dialogue is in subtitles]].
* NeverMyFault: Occasionally tries to blame her mistakes on Fluttershy, in the most ludicrous way possible. For example, in "How Not to Train Your Dragon":
-->'''Rainbow Dash:''' It was Fluttershy's fault!\\
'''Applejack:''' Fluttershy's not even here.\\
'''Rainbow Dash:''' Exactly. So she can't deny it.
* NoSocialSkills: She's desperate for companionship, yet she's constantly sabotaging herself with jerkish behavior, and being weirdly clingy and emotional to the few ponies who are nice to her.
-->'''Rainbow Dash:''' I know I hate everyone, but why does everyone hate me?
* UnfortunateName: In the Hearth's Warming Eve story, she portrays the historic Pegasus general, Flying Monkey Style. At least it's better than the character Fluttershy was saddled with.
* ValleyGirl: She's weird. She has the valley girl accent and some of the mannerisms, but very few of the other traits associated with them (affluence, interest in fashion, being in school, etc). \\
In the "Behind the Scenes" video, Wacarb explains that he initially planned for Dash to be a completely straight valley girl ("OMG guys! TTYL! Rebecca Black is my hero! I love my parents! I go to school and I'm a college girl!") but he just forgot about this when it came time to record. So Dash instead became her own unique flavor of idiocy.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Rarity]]
->'''Spike:''' What kind of machine?\\
'''Rarity:''' You ever heard the saying, "Don't ask, don't tell?"\\
'''Spike:''' No...\\
'''Rarity:''' Well, good news! Now you have.
The local seamstress, social butterfly, and sex dungeon owner. She loves "accidentally" hurting herself almost as much as she loves the fact that, as "a hot white chick", she's destined to succeed at life.
Speaks with a broad Australian accent.
* BadBadActing: Her portrayal of Princess Plutonium for the Hearth's Warming Eve play. She's almost completely monotone, she speaks at the wrong times (recovering awkwardly when she realizes her mistake), and she recites all her stage directions ''and'' her dialogue tags.
-->'''Princess Plutonium:''' Princess Plutonium that is absolutely not true I hate all of you I'm leaving exit stage left.
* UsefulNotes/{{BDSM}}: Rarity has a ''lot'' of leather gear at her boutique. Her fantasies of Prince Blueblood involve branding irons and getting chained to the bed. Her masochism is so far gone that she enjoys pain for its own sake--whenever she's in physical danger, she's ''disappointed'' if she comes out unhurt. She engages in SelfHarm when others don't indulge her.
* BerserkButton: As seen in "The David Bowie Drinking Game", she may be a masochist, but smacking her bum is a no-no. (Or maybe she was angry that they didn't slap hard enough...)
* CargoShip: [[invoked]]
** In "Little Miss Montage":
-->'''Kitchen sink:''' I'll still be here for you, Rarity.\\
'''Rarity:''' Shut up, kitchen sink, I hate you!
** In "All A Boot Shy", she mishears "{{deus ex machina}}" as "sex with machines" and decides that sounds like fun.
* GoldDigger: On occasion.
-->'''Rarity:''' ''[to Fancypants]'' I am such a big fan of your money.
* MistakenForGay: For reasons unknown, Applejack is convinced that Rarity is gay.
* {{Montages}}: She considers herself "the master of montages", and she invokes them [[HardWorkMontage to get a lot of work done in a short time]].
* SafeSaneAndConsensual: Averted with Rarity's personal fantasies. They’re... well... at least they’re consensual.
* SelfHarm: She enjoys pain, and hurts herself because it's fun.
-->'''Twilight:''' We have to do something, guys. If she gets too depressed, she might start hurting herself.\\
'''Fluttershy:''' But she does that anyway.\\
'''Twilight:''' Oh, yeah. Rarity, you're not hurting yourself in there, are you?\\
'''Rarity:''' Do I ''sound'' like I'm in a good mood?
* TerribleArtist: In "Copywrong", Rarity's ZanyScheme is accompanied by her explanatory sketches, which are little better than stick figures. (Since Wacarb drew them himself, he follows them up with a caption mocking his artistic skills.)
* TooKinkyToTorture: [[ThreatBackfire You can't threaten her with pain.]] Anything you can think to inflict, she probably already does for fun. As noted in "A Library With No Twilight":
-->'''Applejack:''' You take that back or I'll cut ya!\\
'''Rarity:''' Oh, yeah, will you? ''[hopefully]'' Will you? ... You can if you want...
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Pinkie Pie]]
->''"Hey ponybro! ''Are you mad, bro?"''
An aspiring comedian with a preference for WordSaladHumor, [[ReferenceOverdosed referential humor]], elaborate pranks, and offensive punchlines. When she isn't seeking validation for her comedy skills, she's writing doorstopper ''Lord of the Rings'' fanfiction.
Speaks with a New Zealand accent.
* CowboyCop: In "Stay Tuned", she's "a cop on the edge, living on the limits of the law, with a gambling problem and a brother on the other side!"
* CuckoolanderCommentator: In "Rocks, Clocks, and Two Stupid Ponies", she and Spike spend all their time talking about how high they are, and never get around to commenting on the race.
* FanGirl: A ''LordOfTheRings'' fanatic. She frequently compares her own adventures to events from ''LOTR'', and she wants to go to the Grand Galloping Gala so she can meet Peter Jackson and show him her fanfics.
* FantasticRacism: Though nearly all the cast are xenophobes to some extent, Pinkie seems the most prone to cracking offensive jokes. Notably, the worst slur in the show comes up in "The Butts Family"--the episode that turns out to just be a story Pinkie was telling.
* TheGadfly: In general, Pinkie seems to be a half-rate AndyKaufman, just as eager to piss off her audience as she is to make them laugh. In particular, the entire plot of "Ponynet Fight" turns out to be a prank at Twilight's expense--Pinkie reveals at the end that she was only pretending to believe [[spoiler:in her Pinkie Sense]] because she knew it would annoy Twi.
* KnowNothingKnowItAll: For all her fangirling over ''Lord of the Rings'', Pinkie can be wildly wrong about it. In "The Longest Episode", she learns for the first time that the movies were based on a book series. When she finally does get around to reading the books, she claims her gypsy fortuneteller costume is a Tom Bombadil cosplay. And "Saying Words" has this trainwreck:
-->'''Pinkie:''' Oh, yeah, gettin' down in Minas Morgul!\\
'''Rarity:''' I don't think Minas Morgul is the equivalent to Canterlot, Pinkie.\\
'''Pinkie:''' Whoaho, bro. Bro. I am the ''Lord of the Rings'' expert here, and I think I know the name of the city that Saruman laid siege to.
* ReformedCriminal: In "Stay Tuned": "I'm a former criminal trying to make up for what I did in the past by joining the force."
* VerbalTic: Uses "bro" a lot. (But with her accent, it comes out sounding more like "brew".)
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Fluttershy]]
->''"Why yes, I am shy. Thanks for noticing!"''
A former slave and an incompetent animal caretaker, plagued by crippling shyness. At least she has her catchphrases. Also, she's shy.
Speaks with an over-the-top African-American accent. Did we mention that she's shy?
* AnimalsHateHer: When she tries to abuse her animals, they fight back. When she tries to help her animals, things ''still'' go wrong.
* ButtMonkey: She's a well-known punching bag because she's (usually) too spineless to fight back. All of her attempts to raise animals go completely wrong. Like Rainbow Dash, she can coerce Twilight by threatening to hang around her house all day, "Being shy!"
* CatchPhrase: Flutters is the show's undisputed queen of catchphrases. She has "I'm just so shy!" and later "I'm so bad with animals." And her tendency to swear by the names of black celebrities. [[LampshadeHanging "Fluttershy had too many catchphrases, so I had to make another."]]
** The episode "To Control Freaks" lampshades the hell out the whole thing:
-->'''Twilight:''' ''[to Fluttershy]'' Are you serious? All you ever do is shout out the names of random black people!\\
'''Rarity:''' And also she's shy and bad with animals!\\
'''Twilight:''' That's another good point, Rarity. Fluttershy, quit hogging all the catchphrases!\\
'''Fluttershy:''' [[YouCantHandleTheParody You can't handle the catchphrases!]]\\
'''Twilight:''' [[HypocriticalHumor Dammit!]]
* EvilLaugh: Fluttershy starts cackling upon discovering the secret of assertiveness from Iron Will.
* ExtremeDoormat: With the added twist that her lack of willpower seems to be the main reason she isn't a raging jerkass.
* InformedFlaw: Fluttershy claims to be shy ([[CatchPhrase all the time, in fact]]) but she never actually has any trouble speaking up or interacting with others. Either she and the others are using "shy" as a synonym for [[ExtremeDoormat "complete pushover"]]... or Flutters is using ObfuscatingStupidity and the others are falling for it.
* PhraseCatcher: "Shut up, Fluttershy." Also, if Fluttershy doesn't comment on her own shyness, someone else will do it for her.
* SpaceJews: She's the Equestrian version of the old [[UncleTomfoolery "cowardly black servant"]] trope.
* StaticCharacter:
** In "Now with a Sound Effect":
-->'''Fluttershy:''' I hope all my episodes revolve around me being shy!\\
''[Insert an image macro of Fluttershy in the memetic "Pinkie shrug" pose, with the caption "Character development?"]''
** In "All A Boot Shy:"
-->'''Pinkie:''' Are you sure you want to do this, Fluttershy? You’re everyone’s favorite pony! If you have character development now, they might start to hate you!
* TheStoner: It's yet to be directly stated, but Fluttershy apparently does a lot of drugs. In "To Kill a Firebird" she has acid pills just laying around her house. When Discord's chaos starts transforming Ponyville into {{Wackyland}}, Fluttershy's reaction is a mild, "Oh, this is just a normal day for me." When Spike's rampage leaves her stranded up a tree, she makes a remark about "[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chasing_the_dragon chasing the purple dragon]]." In “All A Boot Shy”, she shouts “Maybe I’ll even go smoke some weed or something!” and for the rest of episode, she seems to be high as a kite.
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: Or rather, Then Let Me Be A Racist Stereotype. After learning assertiveness, she gets really mad that everyone keeps treating her like a pegasus stereotype, so she decides she might as well act the part.
-->'''Fluttershy:''' I'm craaaazy! Probably like one of them pegas you've seen on TV! Maybe I'll even go smoke some weed or something!
* UncleTomfoolery: She's a former slave; even though she's free now she continues to "do everything the white pony tells [her] to do" because she's too spineless to refuse.
* UnfortunateName: In the Hearth's Warming Eve story, Fluttershy plays the historic second-in-command of the Pegasus nation: Flying Monkey Crap.
-->'''Flying Monkey Crap:''' Also, can I have a different name? This one kinda hurts my self-esteem.\\
'''Flying Monkey Style:''' Nah.

!The Cutie Mark Crusaders
[[folder:Apple Bloom and Twist]]
->''"You should never be afraid to hurt more ponies, Apple Bloom. It's good for you."''
Apple Bloom is Applejack's sister, and the youngest member of the Apple family. Twist is a figment of AB's imagination, and her only friend prior to meeting the other CMC's.
* EnfantTerrible: Apple Bloom is already taking to the mob lifestyle, burning down schools and blackmailing adults to do her bidding.
* ImaginaryFriend: Oddly enough, even after Twist explains that she's just a figment of Apple Bloom's imagination, AB continues to treat her like she's real.
* NeverMyFault: Apple Bloom blames Twist for nearly everything that goes wrong.
* ToxicFriendInfluence: Twist is a big believer in the doctrine that ViolenceIsTheOnlyOption, so she's constantly encouraging Apple Bloom to burn down schoolhouses and kill anyone who slights her.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Sweetie Belle]]
->'''Apple Bloom:''' What should we call ourselves?\\
'''Sweetie Belle:''' Black Death Fire Doom! Gory Black Blood Mansion! Ancient Fires Of The Eternal Chasm!
A gravel-voiced hellion, and Rarity's younger sister.
* CloudCuckoolander:
-->'''Apple Bloom:''' Sweetie Belle, you're just living in your own little world most of the time, aren't you?\\
'''Sweetie Belle:''' In my world, everything is made of sulfur!
* TheDitz: She apparently fried her brain with SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll, leaving her quite slow on the uptake and too quick at forgetting things.
* EnfantTerrible: She destroys stuff for no reason and expects that she can charm her way out of the consequences.
* ForgetfulJones: She forgets what cutie marks are, and forgets that she's in a club dedicated to getting them. She also forgets Twilight's name, then forgets it again in the middle of a conversation with her.
* GutturalGrowler: She used to be a rock band (presumably DeathMetal) vocalist, and she still sounds the part.
* NeverMyFault: Which just serves to show how out-there she is. In "Pirate Shipping":
-->'''Sweetie Belle:''' Just because something is my fault doesn't mean I'm not allowed to blame anyone else.
*NightmareFetishist: She alternates between loving the subjects you'd associate with death metal album covers, and loving stereotypical girly things. Sometimes both at once, such as when she asks Fluttershy to sing her a lullaby, then turns it into a metal song.
-->'''Apple Bloom:''' How about [we call our club] the Cutie Mark Crusaders?\\
'''Sweetie Belle:''' The Crusades were the most violent, depraved, torturous, and brutal times of all history. I frickin' love it.

->''"Skee bam bah!"''
Skabodo bibidobaba. Skebudobopba skadudodo bidily bop bop do skadily debubo.
* OnlySaneMan: The voice of reason among the CMC. She tries (and usually fails) to talk them out of committing gratuitous destruction. She also offers a brief (and scathing) overview of why Equestria is so screwed up.
* {{Scatting}}: Her sole means of communication.
* TheUnintelligible: Even the other characters can't understand Scoots without [[MediumAwareness reading her subtitles]].

!Princess Celestia and Princess who of the what now?
[[folder:Princess Celestia]]
->''"Your benevolent ruler and owner..."''
The unquestioned, undying dictator of Equestria. Owing to her immortality, her thought processes and priorities are a little bit ''odd''. She really freaking loves tea parties.
* BerserkButton: In "The Longest Wedding", what finally convinces her to get off her royal butt and do something about the changeling invasion is the fact that Chrysalis called her "old".
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: She's capricious and cares about nothing but tea.
-->'''Celestia:''' ''[to Fluttershy]'' I need you to kill my pet bird, Philomena, for me. Well, I'd do it myself, but the animal rights groups have been giving me a lot of trouble, and also some letter bombs. They told me to treat the animals like I would treat a pony, but I told them I already do. Apparently that's something the police want to talk to me about as well.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: All of Celestia's relationships.
-->'''Celestia:''' ...And that was where I met my 43rd True Love.
** All the more disturbing when she explained that her being immortal made the age difference meaningless, but his kindergarten teacher disagreed.
* SkewedPriorities: Princess Celestia takes her tea and tea parties ''very'' seriously. She banishes Twilight to Ponyville for skipping a tea party (in the process of saving the world from Night Moon Mare). She won't cut a visit to Ponyville short upon learning that Manehattan is on fire, but she will cut the visit short upon learning that Princess Luna is holding a tea party without her.
* {{Tsundere}}: She clearly has feelings for Twilight, going out of her way to spend time with Twi and verbally smacking down Rarity for (in Celestia’s mind) trying to be a ReplacementLoveInterest. (And in “The Longest Episode”, she encourages Twilight to become immortal, so the two of them can be together forever...) But she expresses her interest by talking down to Twilight or threatening her, and she usually frames her time with Twilight as “punishment” for some minor crime. As a result, Twilight has no idea of Celestia’s feelings (though Spike has figured it out).
* {{Ubermensch}}: Celestia does whatever the buck she wants. No one can possibly tell her otherwise, because she's immortal.

[[folder:Princess Luna aka Night Moon Mare]]
->''"Saaaaaaaaaand!"''
Imprisoned in the moon for no good reason whatsoever, Night Moon Mare returns a thousand years later, mad as hell and determined to kill everyone. A blast from the magical friendship laser convinces her to give up on that plan, but the reformed Princess Luna is otherwise ''exactly the same'' as her alter ego.
* BondVillainStupidity:
-->'''Night Moon Mare:''' I could kill you all now, but I'll run away!
* ButtMonkey: She was banished to the moon because ponies were racist against her a thousand years ago. Upon returning, Celestia makes her live in the castle basement. The only mail she ever gets is letter bombs, forwarded from Celestia.
* CatchPhrase: In Night Moon Mare's limited screen time, she manages to say "Saaaaaaaaand!" enough times to get Twilight complaining. When she shows back up as Luna, her new catch phrase is "Bloooooood!"
-->'''Twilight:''' [Fluttershy] can also fix your catch phrase while you're at it.\\
'''Luna:''' ''I'' have a catch phrase?
* EvilSoundsRaspy: Subverted. Night Moon Mare is certainly evil and raspy enough to fit the bill... but we later find out that Princess Luna's voice always sounded like that.
* TheGhost: After the first two episodes, she gets demoted to this for the remainder of season one. There are several references to her being the royal court's butt monkey, and there's a several-episode-spanning subplot about her getting kidnapped, all without Luna appearing on-screen once.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Her friendless status is referenced in several season one episodes. Then, in "Utter Lunacy", she finally does befriend most of Ponyville, but she can't understand ''why'', and she runs away in annoyance.
* NightmareFetishist: Luna greets everyone by shouting "Blooooood!" When pressed to say something normal, the first thing she thinks of is "''I will devour your soul!''"
* NoSocialSkills: She doesn't understand why her Nightmare Fetishist tendencies scare others away, and when she finally does get some friends, she has no idea why. "Wait, I don't know what I did! What did I do?!"
[[/folder]]
!Other family members
[[folder:Big Macintosh]]
->''"Well, rub salt in me eyes! If it isn't you three scurvy dogs!"''
Applejack's older brother. He thinks he's a pirate, and everyone's too scared to tell him otherwise.
* ChickMagnet: As demonstrated by a brief cutaway gag to his birthday party.
-->'''Big Mac:''' Yarr! I be covered in booty!
* TalkLikeAPirate: Everything he says. "Yarr!" is his catchphrase instead of "Eeyup".
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Granny Smith]]
Applejack's grandmother, and the head of the Apple crime family.
* EvilMatriarch: Aside from the fact that she's the Don of the Apple family, she's cruel in completely gratuitous and downright petty ways. Like peeing on Apple Bloom and eating babies.
* WellDoneSonGuy: In "Winning", when Apple Bloom has seemingly earned her cutie mark, and the rest of the family is congratulating her:
-->'''Granny Smith:''' Well, I still think you're worthless.\\
''Apple Bloom:''' Uuuuh, okay then, Granny Smith. Huh, that kind of hurt my feelings.\\
''[...]''\\
'''Granny Smith:''' Try to earn an apple cutie mark in your sleep if you can.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Cheerilee]]
Local elementary school teacher. Married into the Apple family as of "Pirate Shipping".
* ExtremeDoormat: She can't keep discipline in her classroom. Really, she folds like tissue paper if anyone so much as looks at her funny.
* MisplacedKindergartenTeacher: Partly out of laziness and partly to avoid stress, she teaches fluff topics like cutie marks instead of maths or writing, and she brings in guest speakers to make her job even easier.
* SpeechImpediment: She stutters, particularly when she's nervous. It's possibly a result of an off-screen lynching that she survived, just prior to her first appearance.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Braeburn]]
Applejack's cousin from Appleloosa.
* MotorMouth
* TheUnintelligible: Between his fast talking and his thick Irish accent, he's darn near impossible to understand. Fluttershy even says that she can't make out anything he says.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Shining Armor & Princess Cadance]]
Twilight's brother and his wife. Celestia called them "The pony version of Barbie and Ken," and that's as good a description as any.
* AffectionateNickname: They have some for each other, allegedly.
-->'''Shining Armor:''' Hello, my little love muffin!\\
'''Impostor Cadance:''' Oh, yes, it is pony what I am marrying. How are you, my love-love-love?\\
'''Shining Armor:''' ''[to Twilight]'' We're always coming up with silly names to call each other.
* CampStraight: Shining Armor, apparently. Just because he likes fashion magazines, musicals, country music and had sex with some stallion named Samson one or more times (he said "no homo", so it doesn't count) doesn't mean he's gay.
* GoldDigger: Implied. When Twilight asks how SA convinced Cadance to marry him, he answers that mom and dad are leaving everything to him in their will.
* MindManipulation:
-->'''Twilight:''' Oh, I remember Cadance, she's the one who taught me all about mind control!\\
'''Shining Armor:''' Actually, Twilight, it turns out she can't control minds. That's just what she made you think.\\
'''Twilight:''' Ooooh. Wait, what?
* MistakenForGay: Because he's the campiest stallion in existence, Twilight is convinced that Shining Armor is CampGay until he insists otherwise. Part of her reason for trying to drive Cadance away is so Shining can marry a nice stallion.
* WouldHitAGirl: SA wonders [[WhatWouldXDo "What would DJ 3-Pones do?"]] and he doesn't think it at all odd when the answer is ''"Punch her in the nipple!"''
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Parents in general]]
The mane six's parents, lumped together because they don't individually have enough screen time.
* AlcoholicParent: Both of Rarity's parents. An incident from "Sister Angst" is apparently very common:
-->'''Mum:''' We want you to look after Sweetie Belle for us. We're gonna go on a cruise through the Mareibbean! \\
'''Rarity:''' That's a lie, isn't it.\\
'''Mum:''' Yep!\\
'''Rarity:''' You just want to get drunk, don't you?\\
'''Dad:''' Yeah, that's right.\\
'''Rarity:''' You're ''already'' drunk, aren't you?\\
'''Dad:''' I'm not drunk, I'm your father!\\
'''Mum:''' I'm drunk!
* CreepyCrossdresser: Rarity accuses Applejack's dad of being one (in "A Library With No Twilight") and AJ doesn't deny it.
-->''[While playing "Truth or Dare", AJ is dared to dress up like one of her parents. She puts on a PimpedOutDress.]''\\
'''Rarity:''' Aw, gee, Applejack, I didn't know your dad had such fine taste.
* DeathByChildbirth: Rainbow Dash's Mom. Apparently, she had an extremely unhealthy diet, which caused her to have a heart attack while giving birth to Dash.
* DrivenToSuicide: Applejack's mom and dad. Granny Smith blames Apple Bloom for it.
* PosthumousCharacter: Both Applejack's and Rainbow Dash's parents.
[[/folder]]
!Antagonists
[[folder:(possibly) Derpy Hooves]]
->''"It puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets ten thousand volts up the butt again!"''
This incarnation of everybody's favorite wall-eyed gray background pegasus is violently insane and Scottish.
* AssKicksYou:
-->'''Derpy:''' But the lightning has given my ass supernatural powers. Behold! [...] Butt powers, asstivate!
* AxCrazy: Beyond any reasonable doubt. It's merely implied in her few scenes from season one: In "A Library With No Twilight", she attacks tree branches while hurling curses at Mother Nature. In "Ponynet Fight!", she drops heavy objects on Twilight's head, then declares, "You see, my way does work better!" Then, season two gives us "Derp and Destruction", in which she gains superpowers and immediately decides to kill everyone in Ponyville with them.
* NoNameGiven: Sort of. She's fully aware of the real-life controversy surrounding her name, and the fact that Hasbro is going out of their way to avoid mentioning it.
-->'''Derpy:''' Or my name isn't--and maybe it isn't--Derpy Hooves!
* ViolentGlaswegian: She has a Scots accent to go with her Ax Craziness.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Diamond Tiara & Silver Spoon]]
Two bullies in Apple Bloom's class.
* FlatCharacter: In "Out with the Old Characters":
-->'''Silver Spoon:''' I wish I had a personality.
* TheUnintelligible: Diamond Tiara has a very nasally voice that's ''barely'' intelligible.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Three David Bowies]]
A trio of diamond dogs who kidnap Rarity in "The David Bowie Drinking Game".
* PlanetOfSteves: They're ''all'' named David Bowie.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Discord]]
The fundamental embodiment of chaos. More of a creep and a dick than an outright villain.
* DirtyOldMan: Towards Twilight specifically. He invades her personal space while making a random aside about his penis. Then he [[ThreatBackfire reinterprets one of her threats]] as an invitation to screw.
* MrSeahorse: In "How to Control Freaks", he claims he's having a baby.
* TalkativeLoon: He's fully capable of making sense when he needs to. He just prefers to spew nonsense.
-->'''Discord:''' I've taken the liberty of impending sobriety!\\
'''Celestia:''' Okay, look, Discord, I get that chaos is your thing, but can you please just make sense this one time?\\
'''Discord:''' Make sense? Oh, why make sense when you can make ''pan trees!'' That's trees that are shaped like pans, not actual pantries, because that would just be ''silly!''
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Flim Flam Brothers]]
A pair of traveling preachers. In "Faith to Faith", they come to Ponyville to spread the good news about "the one true alicorn": King Lord High Commander Darkflame Steelwings, the Magnificent!
* FriendlyEnemy: When they're exposed as frauds, and Applejack refuses their proposed competition, they leave without further argument, only pausing to wish AJ a good day.
* OriginalCharacter: From their description, Flim and Flam's god seems to combine all the worst traits of bad [=OCs=] from the ''FIM'' fanfiction scene.
-->'''Flam:''' I'm here to teach you of the one true alicorn! He who saved Manehattan from killer robots! He who first fought and defeated Discord! He who is totally best friends with Celestia, and she has a secret crush on him! It is... King Lord High Commander Darkflame Steelwings, The Magnificent! ''[beat]'' He has an extra pair of wings, and also created magic.
* TryToFitThatOnABusinessCard: King Lord High Commander Darkflame Steelwings, the Magnificent's elaborate title is also the nascent faith's downfall. It becomes abundantly clear that he doesn't actually exist when Flam can't keep his full name and title straight.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Dragon bros]]
In "How Not to Train Your Dragon", Spike goes on a quest to find his purpose. Instead, he finds ''these'' jerks. They call themselves the [[FunWithAcronyms Brothers Republic Of Noble Youth]].
* FratBro: Unlike canon, they're extremely laid-back, and they accept Spike into their group almost immediately. But they're just as bad an influence on Spike as their canon counterparts.
* OddNameOut: Their names are Chet, Bret, Brent, Trent, Kyle, Lyle... and Seth. ("He's autistic.")
* StrawFan: The name of their group is a dead giveaway, and they ask Spike what his favorite rock is (referencing the endless internet discussions over who is "best pony"). They're a stand-in for the sort of ''MLP:FIM'' fans who've missed the point of the show and think "acceptance" is the highest virtue--that it's okay to be a complete jerkass but it's wrong to criticize someone for being a jerkass.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Queen Chrysalis]]
Queen of the Ch-ch-ch-ch-changelings. Impersonates Princess Cadance as part of an attempted invasion of Equestria in "The Longest Engagement" and "The Longest Wedding".
* BrutalHonesty: While disguised as Cadance in "The Longest Engagement", she has no qualms about insulting ponies to their faces. Applejack and Pinkie Pie respect her for being unafraid to speak her mind.
* IShallTauntYou: Has a knack for finding the one insult that will really cheese off her opponents: for Twilight, it's [[YouAreFat her weight]] and for Celestia, it's her age.
[[/folder]]
!Narrators
[[folder:Wacarb]]
The creator of ''Ultra Fast Pony'' also provides commentary on the episodes themselves, in the form of on-screen captions.
* InteractiveNarrator: Less so than the other narrators, but ponies do occasionally see and react to his captions. In "Chickens! Run!" he messes with Scootaloo by covering up her subtitles, preventing everyone else from understanding her. In "The Best Episode Ever", Applejack tells him to knock off the "CLASSY POLITICAL HUMOR" captions.
* LemonyNarrator: He constantly chimes in to poke fun at everyone, especially himself.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Phil]]
The main narrator, who does voiceovers. Has the distinction of uttering the very first lines in the entire show: "Meanwhile, in Equestria. Oh, yeah..."
* InteractiveNarrator: "A Library with No Twilight" is the biggest example, where his unwelcome narration is the episode's true antagonist. Since then, ponies don't react to him as much, but a scene from "Chickens! Run!" shows that they can always hear him, and they're just trying to ignore him.
* LemonyNarrator: He narrates everything in his best porn star voice, reinterprets scenes in the most risque fashion possible, and [[LampshadedDoubleEntendre lampshades potential innuendo]] with a trademark, "Oh ''yeaaaaah...''"
* ThePeepingTom:
-->'''Applejack:''' Where have you been all this time?\\
'''Phil:''' I've been watching what ponies do in their private time. Mmmhmmm.
* StrawFan: He's a caricature of that subset of fans who get really creepy about RuleThirtyFour, HoYayShipping, and finding {{subtext}} where there is none. The captions in "Library with No Twilight" explicitly identify him as a brony ([[TakeThatAudience "EXACTLY LIKE YOU!"]]).
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Tom Watergate & Dick Hardman]]
The color commentators for "The Pet Games".
* CuckoolanderCommentator: Throughout the games, Dick spouts non-sequiturs and frequently has no idea what's happening at the race. Tom Watergate's commentary is relatively normal, but his complete non-reactions to Dick's nonsense suggest he's not all there, either.
* PunnyName: Dick Hardman, whose name serves as an excuse to cram as many dick jokes as possible into the episode's dialogue.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The propagandist]]
The narrator of "For Glorious Mother Equestria", who tries to turn the episode into a political propaganda film. ''Tries.''
* InteractiveNarrator: Twilight and Rarity both call him out for his inaccuracies.
* LemonyNarrator: He wildly reinterprets events to better fit the party line.
* UnreliableVoiceover: His politically-charged exposition keeps directly contradicting what actually happens on-screen. Hardly anyone is fooled.
-->'''Narrator:''' But wait! The evil dragon has lured ponies into his lair. What evil plans does he have for them?\\
'''Spike:''' I'm glad I'm able to spend my birthday with all of my friends! I'm so happy and full of love!
[[/folder]]
!Other characters
[[folder:Mayor Mare]]
->''"Oh, no no no!"''
The finest mayor that money can buy.
* CorruptPolitician:
-->'''Mayor Mare:''' I thank you all for coming, and for not running against me as Mayor, again. Especially after my last opponent was found dead in that river. We may never know how he got there.
* FunnyForeigner: What with her accent and her frequent references to her "native people". In "Utter Lunacy", she decides that this episode's variation on the joke is too offensive to continue, and notes that the show is going to make a lot of viewers angry.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The mysterious heckler]]
A pony who either has a strong disagreement with Mayor Mare's leadership of Ponyville, or who just thinks the Mayor makes a great {{troll}}ing target.
* TheHeckler: He shouts insults at Mayor Mare ''every time'' she gives a public speech. He also heckles Rainbow Dash's speech in "Forgettershy", but that was just because he was attending the wrong speech by mistake.
* TheVoice: We've yet to see him, and no one in-universe knows who he is, either. When Mayor Mare tries to call him out, he just blends into the crowd.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Snuggle Berry]]
An impossibly perfect alicorn who's mentioned several times in "Mob Wars".
* CanonForeigner: She gets inserted into the story through the brilliant editing trick of never appearing on screen at all.
* TheGhost: She wins an award for being an upstanding member of the community, then dies tragically, entirely off-screen.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Gilda]]
A griffon who Rainbow Dash befriends after a falling-out with Pinkie Pie.
* StiffUpperLip: She has a posh British accent, and maintains composure even while suffering from severe burns and a malfunctioning pacemaker.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Blue Twilight]]
->'''Twilight:''' There's no such pony as Blue Twilight! \\
'''Blue Twilight:''' Everyone look at my magical skills. I don't need friends! \\
'''Twilight:''' Holy crap, it really is blue me!
She's just like Twilight, but she's blue. (In another universe, she's known as Trixie.)
* {{Foil}}: To purple Twilight. Their similarities just highlight the absurdity of Ponyville's very different treatment of the two Twilights.
* IneffectualLoner: "I don't need friends!" she declares at the episode's start. At the end, she has to be rescued by purple Twilight.
* NiceGirl: Unlike canon, she isn't boastful or arrogant about her abilities. She puts on a magic show completely for free. She's polite to her fans. She doesn't even get angry when Twi's friends try to show her up.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Snips and Snails]]
Two unicorn colts. Snips is apparently Blue Twilight's son.
* CaptainObvious: Half of Snails' lines are just announcing whatever's going on at the moment.
-->'''Snails:''' We're charging through!
* OddFriendship: Snips is about as smart as Scootaloo. Snails is dumb as a brick.
* TalkativeLoon: The ''other'' half of Snails' lines are nonsensical non-sequiturs.
-->'''Snails:''' I'm a pickled bean!
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Zecora]]
''This zebra from the Everfree is pretty cool.\\
[[WordSaladLyrics A ratchet set and pliers are some useful tools!]]''
* MagicalNegro: Lampshaded:
-->'''Zecora:''' Yo, why you only ever come here when you ''need'' something?\\
'''Twilight:''' I don't always do that! [[IResembleThatRemark What about that time I came here and you didn't give me what I needed? ...That was different.]]
* RhymesOnADime: She frequently ''raps'' her lines, complete with a backing beat. When she's alone, she brainstorms rhymes to use in later conversations. Though she'll break from her rhyme scheme if someone catches her off-guard, or if she just doesn't care.
* SoulBrotha / SpaceJews: She's the Equestrian version of a black American stereotype, specifically the the cool, rap-spouting "urban" character.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Bon Bon]]
One of the most dangerous mares in Ponyville, apparently.
* TheDreaded: ''Applejack'' is afraid of her.
* StrawFeminist: When asked why Bon Bon is so shrill and unpleasant, Applejack just answers that she's "one of the feminists". We never actually hear what Bon Bon's feminism entails.
* TheUnintelligible: In her first appearance, her lines are just an irritating "Ya ya ya ya". She becomes more understandable for her cameo in "Faith to Faith".
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Spitfire, Soarin, and the Ineffectual Flight Team]]
The Ineffectual Flight Team (later renamed Super Effective Flight Team) are the allegedly elite flying force of the Equestrian military. Spitfire is their leader. Soarin is her subordinate and also husband.
* HenpeckedHusband: Spitfire publicly mocks Soarin for his impotence, driving him to tears on a few occasions. At Cadance and Shining Armor's wedding reception:
-->'''Caption:''' Soarin enjoyed his free time, then cried like a baby, knowing it would end soon.
* TheLoinsSleepTonight: An ongoing, offscreen problem for Soarin. In "The Longest Episode", he tries to fix it by eating a pie laced with Viagra. In "Forgettershy", Spitfire cracks a joke about it:
-->''[After Rainbow Dash tries and fails to make a tornado...]''\\
'''Spitfire:''' Having trouble getting it up, Rainbow Dash? Not the first blue pegasus I know with that problem...
* RedShirtArmy: With a name like Ineffectual Flight Team, what do you expect?
** They first show up in "Shameless Self Reference":
-->'''Twilight:''' Quick! Ineffectual Flight Team, go!\\
''[Pow! Thunk!]''\\
'''Twilight:''' It's no good! They were ineffectual!
** When they reappear in "For Glorious Mother Equestria!" to deal with a rampaging dragon, they operate under the new name Super Effective Flight Team.
-->''[Crash!]''\\
'''Rarity:''' Changing their name did nothing to help their ability to fly!
[[/folder]]
[[folder:DJ Scratch Vinyl 3-Pones]]
->''"What would DJ 3-Pones do?"''
A disc jockey and apparently a respected source of all-purpose advice.
* TheCameo: In "The Longest Wedding", she's voiced by IMMATOONLINK (creator of very surreal pony videos), making her the ''only'' character to date voiced by someone besides Wacarb.
* ClicheStorm: She hands out well-worn truisms ("''With the power of friendship, anything is possible!''") like they're cheap cigars.
* NoIndoorVoice: She shouts literally all of her lines.
* PhraseCatcher: Everyone asks themselves [[WhatWouldXDo "What would DJ 3-Pones do?"]] She somehow hears and answers them, immediately.
* TalkativeLoon: Most of her "advice" makes sense on its own ("''Always eat your fruits and vegetables!''"), but is at best tangentially related to what the other pony was actually asking her.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Butts Family]]
A tribe of buffalo who have a dispute with the town of Appleloosa. May or may not actually exist, as their only appearance is [[NestedStoryReveal in a story told by Pinkie Pie]].
* MrSeahorse: All the tribe's females have been kidnapped, so it's up to the male buffalo to give birth. It's not pretty.
* ThemeNaming / UnfortunateName: Much to Pinkie Pie's amusement, every named member of the tribe has "butt" somewhere in their name. Chief Thunderbutt, Little Strongbutt...
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Ponyville P.D.]]
Detective Pinkie Pie's fellow cops from "Stay Tuned". Sir Lintsalot, Rocky, and Mr. Turnip collectively fill the role of the put-upon chief of police. Gummy the alligator is assigned to Pinkie as her partner.
* DaChief: They tell Detective Pinkie that they need results, dammit. They've got the District Attorney breathing down their necks, and if Pinkie can't crack the case open, then she'll have to [[TurnInYourBadge turn in her badge]].
* TheExoticDetective: Detective Gummy has psychic powers.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Prince Blueblood]]
Rarity's ideal love interest, or so he seems at first.
* PrinceCharming: In a complete inversion from canon, Blueblood actually is a perfect gentlestallion. Things still don't work out between him and Rarity, because she ''wants'' a prince who's willing to bully her.
* PunctuatedForEmphasis: He... ''talks just like''... WilliamShatner!
* SafetyWorst: He takes care to neutralize anything at the Gala that could possibly be a safety hazard. Which just bores Rarity and convinces her that Blueblood is a pansy.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Mutation]]
A silent, purple-clad pony with superpowers.
*CanonForeigner: She's ''UFP'''s version of the Mysterious Mare-Do-Well, but she's a separate character rather than a shared alias of the mane six.
* CoconutSuperpowers: She's mute, and has the superpower of silencing anything around her. Naturally, this makes Wacarb's job a lot easier. Lampshaded in the stinger of "The Cheesen One".
-->''[Mutation rescues a bunch of ponies in complete silence.]''\\
'''Caption:''' BEST! SUPERPOWER! EVER!\\
'''Rainbow Dash:''' Wow. I'm not sure if we're getting worse at editing these videos, or we're just getting lazier. Probably both.
* TheSpeechless: Pretty much her defining trait.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Fancy Pants & Fleur de Lesbian]]
Fancy Pants is a very rich pony who, much to Rarity's chagrin, just wants to be friends. Fleur is his wife.
* MasterOfTheMixedMessage: Fancypants. He's already married and just wants to be friends with Rarity, yet he gives off loads of innuendo ([[InnocentInnuendo of which he's completely oblivious]]) in every conversation.
-->'''Rarity:''' Well, it wasn't easy, I'll tell you that!\\
'''Fancypants:''' Oh, yes, I see. It's not the only thing between the two of us that feels quite hard.\\
'''Rarity:''' Oh, ''really?''\\
'''Fancypants:''' Yes, this whole "being friends" thing is much more difficult than I thought.\\
'''Rarity:''' Oh, that's what you meant.
* NonindicativeName:
** Fancypants wears a jacket and no pants, so Rarity initially assumes his name must be Fancyjacket.
** We don't know enough about Fleur de Lesbian to determine if she's an example of this, or if it's a MeaningfulName.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Cranky & Mathilda]]
Two donkeys. Mathilda is a long-time Ponyville resident. Cranky is a newcomer who becomes the object of Pinkie's obsession because he doesn't think she's very funny.
* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: If Pinkie can be trusted, Mathilda is a prostitute.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Pinkie tries to invoke this to make Cranky like her. It doesn't work. (Although, in context, Cranky still comes across as less of a jerk than Pinkie.)
-->'''Cranky:''' I hate you so much.\\
'''Pinkie:''' Oh, come on, Dixie, that's just your brain talking. You gotta listen to your heart!\\
'''Cranky:''' My heart also hates you so much.
* OverlyLongName:
-->'''Cranky:''' My name be Crankydoodledinkledonkeydoodledee, the Fourth, but you can just call me Crankydoodledinkledonkeydoodledee, The.\\
'''Pinkie:''' No, that's stupid. I'ma just call you Cranky.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Iron Will]]
A motivational speaker who specializes in helping ponies overcome their shyness.
* CanadaEh: He has an exaggerated Canadian accent and he's very polite. He can do an intimidating voice like his canon counterpart, but even then...
-->'''Iron Will:''' And then you just tell them in a nice polite way, that they can ''[scary voice]'' [[AC:shove it up your ass! I will have you spayed! You ruined my floor with your bullcrap! Now get out of my sight, you worthless sack of maggots!]] ''[normal voice]'' You know, just something like that. But you don’t want to swear at them, because that might be offensive.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Doctor(?)]]
Specifically, the alleged doctor from from "Reading to Rainbow".
* CannotTellAJoke:
-->'''Doctor:''' You know, I have a joke, too. And it's a pretty good one.\\
''[beat]''\\
'''Applejack:''' Right...
* TheDitz: Come to think of it, he probably isn't really a doctor.
-->'''Doctor:''' ''[examining an x-ray print]'' I'm afraid it doesn't look good. I tried connecting the dots, but they're not numbered. And without numbers, it's just chaos. ''Total chaos.'' I'm sorry, Rainbow Dash, but we're going to have to amputate your flappy things.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Rose]]
A OneSceneWonder from "So Random!"
* ForgetfulJones:
-->'''Pinkie Pie:''' I can't help but notice that [[NonIndicativeName despite your name and cutie mark]], you're growing flowers that aren't roses.\\
'''Rose:''' Sorry about that, I've got a very bad memory.\\
'''Pinkie:''' Oh, don't worry. I'm sure we'll get that fixed one day.\\
'''Rose:''' Get what fixed?\\
''[beat]''\\
'''Rose:''' 'Allo, Pinkie Pie!\\
'''Pinkie:''' Goodbye, Rose.
* NonIndicativeName: See above.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Orb]]
A talking, spherical force field who constantly tells everyone that "None may enter the Orb!"
* CanonForeigner: Wacarb took what was originally just a special effect and gave it a voice and a personality.
* CatchPhrase: "None may enter" etc etc.
* LargeHam.
* ThirdPersonPerson: The Orb laughs at the concept of first person pronouns!
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The cake eating suspects]]
Gustav the griffon, Mulia Mild the mule, and Pony Joe.
* CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkey: Gustav, by his own admission. When Pinkie accuses him of stealing a cake, his reply is:
-->'''Gustav:''' Oh, ''mon ami'', it was not me! I am just a cowardly French griffon! I would never dream about doing something so daring and bold!
* {{Eagleland}}: Pony Joe is a walking, talking stereotype of the Ugly American.
-->'''Pony Joe:''' That is outrageous! As an American, I would never break the law, or try to sabotage a foreigner for my own personal gain!\\
'''Twilight:''' Ahahahahahaha haaaaaaa... sorry.
* TheGenericGuy: Mulia Mild. In contrast to Gustav and Pony Joe, she's so nondescript that she herself doesn't know what she's supposed to be a parody of.
-->'''Mulia:''' Oh my generic goodness! ... I am much too bland to do something like that!
[[/folder]]
----
----
!Tropes that apply to more than two characters:
*ButtMonkey: Spike, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Twilight, and Princess Luna are all disliked and abused by the rest of the cast, sometimes for no good reason. Which of them is the most disliked varies from episode to episode.
* CanonForeigner: Through the magic of redubbing and creative editing, new characters are created from whole cloth. So far, these include Snuggle Berry, Mutation, and The Orb.
* HollywoodToneDeaf: As demonstrated at the end of "The Best Episode Ever", the mane six can't harmonize with each other worth a damn. Some of them, like Pinkie and Rarity, can at least carry a tune alone, while Twilight and Fluttershy can't even manage that much. Naturally, Twilight and Fluttershy do the most singing in the "UFP Sings Tainted Love" bonus video. In the captions, Wacarb cries that they're making ''his'' ears bleed.
* InformedAttribute: Nearly all of Ponyville is allegedly shy in "All A Boot Shy":
-->'''Iron Will:''' Okay, if I could just have the shyest pony here raise their hoof in front of the entire audience...\\
''[Every pony in the audience raises a hoof.]''\\
'''Iron Will:''' Okay, I didn't really expect that, what with this being a seminar for shy ponies and all.
* TheIrishMob: The entire Apple clan. Apple farming is just a front for theft, fixing fights, selling drugs, other illegal activities, and speaking with Irish accents.
* OnlySaneMan: Twilight, Applejack, Spike, and Scootaloo each serve as the sole voice of reason in different specific contexts.
* StaticCharacter: Everyone except Rarity, according to "So Random":
-->'''Twilight:''' Well, have you tried having some character development?\\
'''Pinkie:''' Well, I ''was'' going to, but apparently only Rarity's allowed to do that.
* VocalDissonance: Applies to nearly every female character, [[CrossdressingVoices since it's one guy doing all the voice work]]. Rarity's nasally Australian accent and Sweetie Belle's gravelly growl are the most pronounced examples.

!The Mane Six and Spike
[[folder:Twilight Sparkle]]
->''"I am the smartest and wisest pony in the whole town. Everything I do works, and everything I do makes perfect sense, and shut up about the burrito. My way of living is vastly superior to anyone else's, and it is my duty to have everypony do exactly as I do. My thoughts and reasonings are always rational and correct, and I will not rest until everyone else has the same opinions as me!"''
A magical prodigy and completely insufferable world savior. Twilight is convinced that she knows more than anyone else in Ponyville--and sometimes she's correct about this. She has a vague and creepy matriarchal relationship with Spike.
Speaks with a (hyper-rhotic) American accent.
*BadBadActing: When she plays the role of Clover in the Hearth's Warming Eve play, she isn't as flagrantly bad as Rarity (see below)--all the same, Twilight breaks character to correct her fellow actors, and the dramatic death scene is clearly beyond her acting range.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Celestia’s {{tsundere}} feelings for Twilight are well-documented (see below) but there’s a single bit suggesting that Twi reciprocates. In the song “At the Gala”, the choir refers to Celestia as “[Twilight’s] secret crush”. But if that’s true, Twi does a very good job of hiding her feelings—she mainly seems to be annoyed and afraid of Celestia.
* ButtMonkey: Twilight is completely abandoned by her friends on her birthday. When Luna arrives in Ponyville, Twilight's ecstatic that "Someone is even more hated in Ponyville than I am!"
* CannotTellAJoke: Every time she tries to tell a joke to the others, the results aren't pretty. Everyone agrees her "new joke" (in "One Joke to Rule Them All") needs more work, and that her joke at Rainbow Dash's expense (in "Reading to Rainbow") is too mean to be funny. (To really rub salt in the wounds, each of those are followed up by someone else telling an equally lame joke, and everybody laughing at ''that''.) Her attempted QuipToBlack (in "C.S.Pie") just gets silence from everyone.
* CaptainObvious: She dips into this occasionally.
** Her very first lines in the very first episode:
-->'''Twilight:''' According to this book I'm reading, the world is going to end soon! I think that might be bad.
** In "Shameless Self Reference", as Rarity falls from Cloudsdale towards the ground:
-->'''Twilight:''' I'm not sure, but I think that might end badly.
** In "Derp and Destruction":
-->'''Twilight:''' Well guys, in our attempt to run away from Derpy, we've made it here, into the desert!\\
'''Rainbow Dash:''' Thanks for the update, Captain Obvious.\\
'''Twilight:''' Hey, there's nothing wrong with a little recap.\\
'''Fluttershy:''' It hasn't even been five minutes yet!
* CargoShip: [[invoked]] From "Forgettershy":
-->'''Twilight:''' Oh, abacus, sometimes I think you're the only one who understands me... What's that? You say you want to get married? But what will the telescope think?
* CatchPhrase: "Dammit!" Though she says it quite a bit less in season 2.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In "Mob Wars", Twilight warns Ponyville about the arrival of "dirty illegal immigrants!" This is somewhat at odds with her being the only pony in the mane six who ''isn't'' racist, a point of characterization that's introduced in ''the very next episode'' and sticks around for the rest of the series.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Twilight isn't hailed as a hero for saving the world multiple times; instead, she's one of [[ButtMonkey the most hated ponies in Ponyville]]. It's implied that she brings it on herself by being such an insufferable know-it-all.
* EmbarrassingMiddleName: Judging by her TrustPassword conversation with her own future self, either her middle name is a secret, or her middle name ''is'' Secret. Twilight Secret Sparkle.
* ForScience: Her justification for stalking Pinkie Pie. "Nothing's illegal if it's for science!"
* FutureMeScaresMe: In "Time":
-->'''Twilight:''' I've just been visited by me from the future. And me in the future is an annoying jerk! So if you ever see me in the future, I want you to punch her in the face for me!\\
'''Pinkie Pie:''' I feel like Twilight doesn't really understand time.\\
''[SmashCut to Twilight, with a bruised face]''\\
'''Twilight:''' I didn't mean the immediate future!
* HollywoodToneDeaf: In "Gossip Girls", the local newspaper runs an article about what a terrible singer Twilight is. She denies it and tries to show off her skills, and just succeeds in proving the newspaper right.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: [[DependingOnTheWriter Sometimes.]] In some episodes she's driven to madness by the thought that Ponyville doesn't like her. In others, she hates everyone and doesn't care what they think about her.
* InsufferableGenius: Much more so than in canon.
-->'''Apple Bloom:''' Whoever told us reading was fun was lying!\\
'''Twilight:''' Oh, girls. Reading isn't about fun, it's about pretending you're better than everyone else.
* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Much as she loves to correct others, she's completely off-base just as much as the rest.
-->'''Applejack:''' You know, Twilight, for a pony who's really smart, ''you're really stupid.''
* MyBelovedSmother: Twilight knows what's best for Spike, and she won't let something minor like the laws of nature get in her way.
-->'''Twilight:''' Sorry, Applejack, but Spike's gone crazy! And by crazy I mean he's acting normal for a dragon, but crazy for a pony. Which he should be.
* NeverMyFault: She occasionally suffers from a weird form of denial.
** In "The Canon Has Misfired":
-->'''Twilight:''' Spike, [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny we have a new mission]]. I'm going to ''take that pony down!''\\
'''Spike:''' But what about the end of the world?\\
'''Twilight:''' Oh, you ''bet'' I'm going to end her world!\\
''[Later]''\\
'''Spike:''' Master, weren't we supposed to be doing something very important?\\
'''Twilight:''' ... No.\\
''[Even later, Night Moon Mare returns, intending to bring about the end of the world.]''\\
'''Twilight:''' Dammit, I knew I forgot something! Why didn't Spike remind me?!
** In "Ponynet Fight!", Twilight insists that her magic isn't working because Spike isn't concentrating hard enough (and she pointedly refuses to explain why ''her'' magic needs ''Spike's'' concentration).
* ObliviousToLove: She's completely unaware of Princess Celestia's [[{{tsundere}} feelings for her]]. In "How Not to Train Your Dragon", it goes from believable to ComicallyMissingThePoint:
-->'''Chet:''' ''[reading a letter from Celestia]'' Dear Twilight... Can't hold it in any longer... Blah blah blah blah blah. Aw, it's just a boring love letter.\\
'''Twilight:''' That doesn't make any sense. Why would Celestia send me a glove letter? I don't wear gloves.\\
'''Rarity:''' You and I need to have a talk when we get back, Twilight.
* OnlySaneMan: Specifically on the topic of racism. Twilight is the only pony in Ponyville who ''isn't'' a complete xenophobe.
* SirSwearsalot: "Dammit!" is her catch phrase, and she's the one cussing in most of the CurseCutShort and ClusterBleepBomb gags so far.
* StaticCharacter: As noted in "So Random":
-->'''Twilight:''' Hey! I had character development!\\
'''Pinkie:''' Bro, that was like, one time at the start of the very first season. You haven't changed since then at all.
* SuperOCD: Unlike canon, this mainly manifests as her correcting other ponies (and sometimes the narrator) over really minor mistakes.
-->'''Twilight:''' It's not OCD! It's ABCD! [[FunWithAcronyms Aggressively Belligerent Compulsive Disorder]]! See, my way makes more sense! Why doesn't anyone ever listen to my opinions?!
* SurroundedByIdiots: She's often frustrated by the stupidity of everyone around her. For example, in "Forgettershy":
-->'''Rainbow Dash:''' Uugh. [[HypocriticalHumor These ponies are so stupid.]] Do you ever feel like you're surrounded by idiots, Twilight?\\
'''Twilight:''' ''Each and every day.''\\
'''Rainbow Dash:''' Really? Wow. What about today?\\
'''Twilight:''' ''Every. Day.''\\
'''Rainbow Dash:''' Oh, what about tomorrow?
* TheVoice: Twilight Sparkle is reduced to speaking from just off-screen in "Sister Angst".
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Spike]]
->''"Yes, master?"''
Twilight's long-suffering personal assistant, and possibly her son (or daughter). Speaks with a German-ish "Igor" accent.
* ButtMonkey: He regularly serves as a source of free labor ("I prefer the term enforced volunteer") and physical comedy ("I swear, it's like everyone hates me or something!").
* CuckoolanderCommentator: In "Rocks, Clocks, and Two Stupid Ponies", he and Pinkie Pie spend all their time talking about how high they are, and never get around to commenting on the race.
* GenderBender: He's been castrated, and Twilight flip-flops between referring to Spike as her daughter and as her son.
* TheIgor: Spike refers to Twilight as "Master" and has a (hilariously bad) German accent.
* ManOfAThousandVoices: Switches to completely different accents on several occasions: a SeanConnery impression in "Hippocratic Oafs", a [[WelcomeToTheCaribbeanMon Jamaican accent]] in "Utter Lunacy", a "Santa Claus" voice in "The Best Episode Ever", and the FratBro accent in "How Not to Train Your Dragon".
* NiceHat: At Cadance and Shining Armor's wedding, the captions note that "Spike is wearing a nice hat. That is all."
* OlderThanHeLooks: Even though most of the cast treat him like a baby, he's 67 years old.
* OnlySaneMan: When Twilight goes off the deep end, Spike tries (and usually fails) to talk reason into her.
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Spike has a pretty good German accent in the Pilot episode, but it's degenerated into something like a mix of Jamaican and German.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Applejack]]
->''"Oh, nothing. We're just a... we're just a normal family. No need to get the law involved. We sell apples, we sell apples." [winks]''
A hard-workin' Irish farmpony, mindin' the family business! What kind of business? "The ''none-of-your-damn-business'' kinda business!"
She speaks with an Irish accent, as does most of her extended family.
* AffablyEvil: She's very outgoing and friendly when she isn't extorting ponies or busting kneecaps.
* ComicallySmallBribe:
** Inverted in "The Penny and Clyde Show":
-->'''Discord:''' Applejack, I want you to betray Twilight.\\
'''Applejack:''' How dare you! I would never betray my friends for no reason.\\
'''Discord:''' I'll give you a neverending apple!\\
'''Applejack:''' Ha, the joke's on you! I'da betrayed Twilight for just a regular apple!\\
'''Discord:''' Oh, whatever.
** In the very next episode, Twilight uses it to get AJ back on her side:
-->'''Twilight:''' Applejack! I need you to break your deal with Discord. And as payment, I will give you a regular apple!\\
'''Applejack:''' What, you think I'd go back on a deal just for one regular apple? What kind of pony do you think I am?\\
'''Twilight:''' ''Two'' regular apples!\\
'''Applejack:''' Yeah! Let's go kill Discord!
* NoNameGiven: The character she plays in the Hearth's Warming Eve play.
-->'''Chancellor Councilor's assistant:''' So, guys, I don't think my character got a name. Is that important? 'Cause I don't have a name.
* OnlySaneMan: Aside from the fact that she's completely morally bankrupt, Applejack is the most practical and level-headed of the mane six.
* RaisedCatholic:
-->'''Applejack:''' "Faithless heathen"? Screw you, I'll have you know I'm Catholic!\\
'''Twilight:''' Wait a minute. You're a Catholic?\\
'''Applejack:''' Yeah...\\
'''Twilight:''' But you don't believe in God.\\
'''Applejack:''' Of course I don't! I'm Catholic!
* StickyFingers (Sticky Hooves?): So far, her confirmed steals include trees, Twilight's bicycle, and Twilight's medical supplies. And, on at least one occasion, "everything from everybody".
* SurroundedByIdiots:
** In "Faith to Faith:"
-->'''Applejack:''' Oh, this must be how Twilight feels all the time.
** In "Reading to Rainbow":
-->'''Applejack:''' Well, don't take this the wrong way, but I'm going to leave now in case it turns out stupidity is contagious.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Rainbow Dash]]
->''"I, like, totally ruined your hair! And I'm not even going to apologize!"''
An athletic pegasus who frequently breaks records in both airspeed and stupidity. She deliberately gets on everyone's nerves, then doesn't understand why nobody likes her.
Claims to be Swahili, and sounds like a ValleyGirl.
* {{Angrish}}: Her grasp on the language is weak at the best of times, so when she gets emotional she tends to degenerate into complete gibberish.
-->'''Rainbow Dash:''' Wait a minute, you guys hate me because I'm blue? ''[distraught]'' Iwuhwoowah! Iwuh I can't believe you guys! Rrrlrhalrurah!
* ButtMonkey: She a HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood, and her only friend outside the mane six was the late Snuggle Berry. She can coerce Twilight by threatening to hang out with her all day. When Apple Bloom needs to lay low for a while, she does this by visiting Rainbow Dash. In Twilight's dream of a Ponyville with all its problems solved, Rainbow Dash's death is a prerequisite for the utopia.
* ChildhoodBrainDamage: Alluded to in "Pinkie's Day In":
-->'''Mrs. Cake:''' You're not supposed to throw babies.\\
'''Rainbow Dash:''' Seriously? My second foster parents used to throw me all the time!\\
'''Mrs. Cake:''' [[ThisExplainsSoMuch That explains so much]] that I didn't care about.
* TheDitz: She and logic are not on speaking terms. Even though this is a show where everyone is prone to moments of ComicallyMissingThePoint or InsaneTrollLogic, Dash still manages to stand out as the dumbest character. The most blatant example: she can't tell the difference between road signs and clocks, and she thinks that changing the time on a clock is the same thing as time traveling.
-->'''Rainbow Dash:''' Wait, guys! I'm about to have a brilliant idea!\\
'''Twilight:''' A great idea by Rainbow Dash might just be good enough to be average! Let's try it.
* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: She's never had any friends prior to the mane six, and the longest she's ever stayed with a single foster family was one week. When the parasprites turn violent, Dash's reaction is "My new family's trying to kill me [[OhNoNotAgain again]]!"
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: When she isn't being a jerk to people, she's lamenting that no one at all likes her.
* InelegantBlubbering: Whenever she gets really upset, her blubbering is nigh-impossible to understand.
* JerkassWoobie: [[invoked]] Terribly obnoxious to everyone, but really just wants to find friends or family to love her. Eventually lampshaded during the Gala song:
-->'''Rainbow Dash''': I just want to be loved for once at the gala.\\
'''The Choir''': No pony likes Rainbow Dash / Because she is annoying / But now I kind of pity her / No wait, the feeling has passed
* NeverLearnedToRead: She's illiterate. Humorously, this means [[MediumAwareness she can't understand Scootaloo because all of her dialogue is in subtitles]].
* NeverMyFault: Occasionally tries to blame her mistakes on Fluttershy, in the most ludicrous way possible. For example, in "How Not to Train Your Dragon":
-->'''Rainbow Dash:''' It was Fluttershy's fault!\\
'''Applejack:''' Fluttershy's not even here.\\
'''Rainbow Dash:''' Exactly. So she can't deny it.
* NoSocialSkills: She's desperate for companionship, yet she's constantly sabotaging herself with jerkish behavior, and being weirdly clingy and emotional to the few ponies who are nice to her.
-->'''Rainbow Dash:''' I know I hate everyone, but why does everyone hate me?
* UnfortunateName: In the Hearth's Warming Eve story, she portrays the historic Pegasus general, Flying Monkey Style. At least it's better than the character Fluttershy was saddled with.
* ValleyGirl: She's weird. She has the valley girl accent and some of the mannerisms, but very few of the other traits associated with them (affluence, interest in fashion, being in school, etc). \\
In the "Behind the Scenes" video, Wacarb explains that he initially planned for Dash to be a completely straight valley girl ("OMG guys! TTYL! Rebecca Black is my hero! I love my parents! I go to school and I'm a college girl!") but he just forgot about this when it came time to record. So Dash instead became her own unique flavor of idiocy.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Rarity]]
->'''Spike:''' What kind of machine?\\
'''Rarity:''' You ever heard the saying, "Don't ask, don't tell?"\\
'''Spike:''' No...\\
'''Rarity:''' Well, good news! Now you have.
The local seamstress, social butterfly, and sex dungeon owner. She loves "accidentally" hurting herself almost as much as she loves the fact that, as "a hot white chick", she's destined to succeed at life.
Speaks with a broad Australian accent.
* BadBadActing: Her portrayal of Princess Plutonium for the Hearth's Warming Eve play. She's almost completely monotone, she speaks at the wrong times (recovering awkwardly when she realizes her mistake), and she recites all her stage directions ''and'' her dialogue tags.
-->'''Princess Plutonium:''' Princess Plutonium that is absolutely not true I hate all of you I'm leaving exit stage left.
* UsefulNotes/{{BDSM}}: Rarity has a ''lot'' of leather gear at her boutique. Her fantasies of Prince Blueblood involve branding irons and getting chained to the bed. Her masochism is so far gone that she enjoys pain for its own sake--whenever she's in physical danger, she's ''disappointed'' if she comes out unhurt. She engages in SelfHarm when others don't indulge her.
* BerserkButton: As seen in "The David Bowie Drinking Game", she may be a masochist, but smacking her bum is a no-no. (Or maybe she was angry that they didn't slap hard enough...)
* CargoShip: [[invoked]]
** In "Little Miss Montage":
-->'''Kitchen sink:''' I'll still be here for you, Rarity.\\
'''Rarity:''' Shut up, kitchen sink, I hate you!
** In "All A Boot Shy", she mishears "{{deus ex machina}}" as "sex with machines" and decides that sounds like fun.
* GoldDigger: On occasion.
-->'''Rarity:''' ''[to Fancypants]'' I am such a big fan of your money.
* MistakenForGay: For reasons unknown, Applejack is convinced that Rarity is gay.
* {{Montages}}: She considers herself "the master of montages", and she invokes them [[HardWorkMontage to get a lot of work done in a short time]].
* SafeSaneAndConsensual: Averted with Rarity's personal fantasies. They’re... well... at least they’re consensual.
* SelfHarm: She enjoys pain, and hurts herself because it's fun.
-->'''Twilight:''' We have to do something, guys. If she gets too depressed, she might start hurting herself.\\
'''Fluttershy:''' But she does that anyway.\\
'''Twilight:''' Oh, yeah. Rarity, you're not hurting yourself in there, are you?\\
'''Rarity:''' Do I ''sound'' like I'm in a good mood?
* TerribleArtist: In "Copywrong", Rarity's ZanyScheme is accompanied by her explanatory sketches, which are little better than stick figures. (Since Wacarb drew them himself, he follows them up with a caption mocking his artistic skills.)
* TooKinkyToTorture: [[ThreatBackfire You can't threaten her with pain.]] Anything you can think to inflict, she probably already does for fun. As noted in "A Library With No Twilight":
-->'''Applejack:''' You take that back or I'll cut ya!\\
'''Rarity:''' Oh, yeah, will you? ''[hopefully]'' Will you? ... You can if you want...
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Pinkie Pie]]
->''"Hey ponybro! ''Are you mad, bro?"''
An aspiring comedian with a preference for WordSaladHumor, [[ReferenceOverdosed referential humor]], elaborate pranks, and offensive punchlines. When she isn't seeking validation for her comedy skills, she's writing doorstopper ''Lord of the Rings'' fanfiction.
Speaks with a New Zealand accent.
* CowboyCop: In "Stay Tuned", she's "a cop on the edge, living on the limits of the law, with a gambling problem and a brother on the other side!"
* CuckoolanderCommentator: In "Rocks, Clocks, and Two Stupid Ponies", she and Spike spend all their time talking about how high they are, and never get around to commenting on the race.
* FanGirl: A ''LordOfTheRings'' fanatic. She frequently compares her own adventures to events from ''LOTR'', and she wants to go to the Grand Galloping Gala so she can meet Peter Jackson and show him her fanfics.
* FantasticRacism: Though nearly all the cast are xenophobes to some extent, Pinkie seems the most prone to cracking offensive jokes. Notably, the worst slur in the show comes up in "The Butts Family"--the episode that turns out to just be a story Pinkie was telling.
* TheGadfly: In general, Pinkie seems to be a half-rate AndyKaufman, just as eager to piss off her audience as she is to make them laugh. In particular, the entire plot of "Ponynet Fight" turns out to be a prank at Twilight's expense--Pinkie reveals at the end that she was only pretending to believe [[spoiler:in her Pinkie Sense]] because she knew it would annoy Twi.
* KnowNothingKnowItAll: For all her fangirling over ''Lord of the Rings'', Pinkie can be wildly wrong about it. In "The Longest Episode", she learns for the first time that the movies were based on a book series. When she finally does get around to reading the books, she claims her gypsy fortuneteller costume is a Tom Bombadil cosplay. And "Saying Words" has this trainwreck:
-->'''Pinkie:''' Oh, yeah, gettin' down in Minas Morgul!\\
'''Rarity:''' I don't think Minas Morgul is the equivalent to Canterlot, Pinkie.\\
'''Pinkie:''' Whoaho, bro. Bro. I am the ''Lord of the Rings'' expert here, and I think I know the name of the city that Saruman laid siege to.
* ReformedCriminal: In "Stay Tuned": "I'm a former criminal trying to make up for what I did in the past by joining the force."
* VerbalTic: Uses "bro" a lot. (But with her accent, it comes out sounding more like "brew".)
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Fluttershy]]
->''"Why yes, I am shy. Thanks for noticing!"''
A former slave and an incompetent animal caretaker, plagued by crippling shyness. At least she has her catchphrases. Also, she's shy.
Speaks with an over-the-top African-American accent. Did we mention that she's shy?
* AnimalsHateHer: When she tries to abuse her animals, they fight back. When she tries to help her animals, things ''still'' go wrong.
* ButtMonkey: She's a well-known punching bag because she's (usually) too spineless to fight back. All of her attempts to raise animals go completely wrong. Like Rainbow Dash, she can coerce Twilight by threatening to hang around her house all day, "Being shy!"
* CatchPhrase: Flutters is the show's undisputed queen of catchphrases. She has "I'm just so shy!" and later "I'm so bad with animals." And her tendency to swear by the names of black celebrities. [[LampshadeHanging "Fluttershy had too many catchphrases, so I had to make another."]]
** The episode "To Control Freaks" lampshades the hell out the whole thing:
-->'''Twilight:''' ''[to Fluttershy]'' Are you serious? All you ever do is shout out the names of random black people!\\
'''Rarity:''' And also she's shy and bad with animals!\\
'''Twilight:''' That's another good point, Rarity. Fluttershy, quit hogging all the catchphrases!\\
'''Fluttershy:''' [[YouCantHandleTheParody You can't handle the catchphrases!]]\\
'''Twilight:''' [[HypocriticalHumor Dammit!]]
* EvilLaugh: Fluttershy starts cackling upon discovering the secret of assertiveness from Iron Will.
* ExtremeDoormat: With the added twist that her lack of willpower seems to be the main reason she isn't a raging jerkass.
* InformedFlaw: Fluttershy claims to be shy ([[CatchPhrase all the time, in fact]]) but she never actually has any trouble speaking up or interacting with others. Either she and the others are using "shy" as a synonym for [[ExtremeDoormat "complete pushover"]]... or Flutters is using ObfuscatingStupidity and the others are falling for it.
* PhraseCatcher: "Shut up, Fluttershy." Also, if Fluttershy doesn't comment on her own shyness, someone else will do it for her.
* SpaceJews: She's the Equestrian version of the old [[UncleTomfoolery "cowardly black servant"]] trope.
* StaticCharacter:
** In "Now with a Sound Effect":
-->'''Fluttershy:''' I hope all my episodes revolve around me being shy!\\
''[Insert an image macro of Fluttershy in the memetic "Pinkie shrug" pose, with the caption "Character development?"]''
** In "All A Boot Shy:"
-->'''Pinkie:''' Are you sure you want to do this, Fluttershy? You’re everyone’s favorite pony! If you have character development now, they might start to hate you!
* TheStoner: It's yet to be directly stated, but Fluttershy apparently does a lot of drugs. In "To Kill a Firebird" she has acid pills just laying around her house. When Discord's chaos starts transforming Ponyville into {{Wackyland}}, Fluttershy's reaction is a mild, "Oh, this is just a normal day for me." When Spike's rampage leaves her stranded up a tree, she makes a remark about "[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chasing_the_dragon chasing the purple dragon]]." In “All A Boot Shy”, she shouts “Maybe I’ll even go smoke some weed or something!” and for the rest of episode, she seems to be high as a kite.
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: Or rather, Then Let Me Be A Racist Stereotype. After learning assertiveness, she gets really mad that everyone keeps treating her like a pegasus stereotype, so she decides she might as well act the part.
-->'''Fluttershy:''' I'm craaaazy! Probably like one of them pegas you've seen on TV! Maybe I'll even go smoke some weed or something!
* UncleTomfoolery: She's a former slave; even though she's free now she continues to "do everything the white pony tells [her] to do" because she's too spineless to refuse.
* UnfortunateName: In the Hearth's Warming Eve story, Fluttershy plays the historic second-in-command of the Pegasus nation: Flying Monkey Crap.
-->'''Flying Monkey Crap:''' Also, can I have a different name? This one kinda hurts my self-esteem.\\
'''Flying Monkey Style:''' Nah.

!The Cutie Mark Crusaders
[[folder:Apple Bloom and Twist]]
->''"You should never be afraid to hurt more ponies, Apple Bloom. It's good for you."''
Apple Bloom is Applejack's sister, and the youngest member of the Apple family. Twist is a figment of AB's imagination, and her only friend prior to meeting the other CMC's.
* EnfantTerrible: Apple Bloom is already taking to the mob lifestyle, burning down schools and blackmailing adults to do her bidding.
* ImaginaryFriend: Oddly enough, even after Twist explains that she's just a figment of Apple Bloom's imagination, AB continues to treat her like she's real.
* NeverMyFault: Apple Bloom blames Twist for nearly everything that goes wrong.
* ToxicFriendInfluence: Twist is a big believer in the doctrine that ViolenceIsTheOnlyOption, so she's constantly encouraging Apple Bloom to burn down schoolhouses and kill anyone who slights her.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Sweetie Belle]]
->'''Apple Bloom:''' What should we call ourselves?\\
'''Sweetie Belle:''' Black Death Fire Doom! Gory Black Blood Mansion! Ancient Fires Of The Eternal Chasm!
A gravel-voiced hellion, and Rarity's younger sister.
* CloudCuckoolander:
-->'''Apple Bloom:''' Sweetie Belle, you're just living in your own little world most of the time, aren't you?\\
'''Sweetie Belle:''' In my world, everything is made of sulfur!
* TheDitz: She apparently fried her brain with SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll, leaving her quite slow on the uptake and too quick at forgetting things.
* EnfantTerrible: She destroys stuff for no reason and expects that she can charm her way out of the consequences.
* ForgetfulJones: She forgets what cutie marks are, and forgets that she's in a club dedicated to getting them. She also forgets Twilight's name, then forgets it again in the middle of a conversation with her.
* GutturalGrowler: She used to be a rock band (presumably DeathMetal) vocalist, and she still sounds the part.
* NeverMyFault: Which just serves to show how out-there she is. In "Pirate Shipping":
-->'''Sweetie Belle:''' Just because something is my fault doesn't mean I'm not allowed to blame anyone else.
*NightmareFetishist: She alternates between loving the subjects you'd associate with death metal album covers, and loving stereotypical girly things. Sometimes both at once, such as when she asks Fluttershy to sing her a lullaby, then turns it into a metal song.
-->'''Apple Bloom:''' How about [we call our club] the Cutie Mark Crusaders?\\
'''Sweetie Belle:''' The Crusades were the most violent, depraved, torturous, and brutal times of all history. I frickin' love it.

->''"Skee bam bah!"''
Skabodo bibidobaba. Skebudobopba skadudodo bidily bop bop do skadily debubo.
* OnlySaneMan: The voice of reason among the CMC. She tries (and usually fails) to talk them out of committing gratuitous destruction. She also offers a brief (and scathing) overview of why Equestria is so screwed up.
* {{Scatting}}: Her sole means of communication.
* TheUnintelligible: Even the other characters can't understand Scoots without [[MediumAwareness reading her subtitles]].

!Princess Celestia and Princess who of the what now?
[[folder:Princess Celestia]]
->''"Your benevolent ruler and owner..."''
The unquestioned, undying dictator of Equestria. Owing to her immortality, her thought processes and priorities are a little bit ''odd''. She really freaking loves tea parties.
* BerserkButton: In "The Longest Wedding", what finally convinces her to get off her royal butt and do something about the changeling invasion is the fact that Chrysalis called her "old".
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: She's capricious and cares about nothing but tea.
-->'''Celestia:''' ''[to Fluttershy]'' I need you to kill my pet bird, Philomena, for me. Well, I'd do it myself, but the animal rights groups have been giving me a lot of trouble, and also some letter bombs. They told me to treat the animals like I would treat a pony, but I told them I already do. Apparently that's something the police want to talk to me about as well.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: All of Celestia's relationships.
-->'''Celestia:''' ...And that was where I met my 43rd True Love.
** All the more disturbing when she explained that her being immortal made the age difference meaningless, but his kindergarten teacher disagreed.
* SkewedPriorities: Princess Celestia takes her tea and tea parties ''very'' seriously. She banishes Twilight to Ponyville for skipping a tea party (in the process of saving the world from Night Moon Mare). She won't cut a visit to Ponyville short upon learning that Manehattan is on fire, but she will cut the visit short upon learning that Princess Luna is holding a tea party without her.
* {{Tsundere}}: She clearly has feelings for Twilight, going out of her way to spend time with Twi and verbally smacking down Rarity for (in Celestia’s mind) trying to be a ReplacementLoveInterest. (And in “The Longest Episode”, she encourages Twilight to become immortal, so the two of them can be together forever...) But she expresses her interest by talking down to Twilight or threatening her, and she usually frames her time with Twilight as “punishment” for some minor crime. As a result, Twilight has no idea of Celestia’s feelings (though Spike has figured it out).
* {{Ubermensch}}: Celestia does whatever the buck she wants. No one can possibly tell her otherwise, because she's immortal.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Princess Luna aka Night Moon Mare]]
->''"Saaaaaaaaaand!"''
Imprisoned in the moon for no good reason whatsoever, Night Moon Mare returns a thousand years later, mad as hell and determined to kill everyone. A blast from the magical friendship laser convinces her to give up on that plan, but the reformed Princess Luna is otherwise ''exactly the same'' as her alter ego.
* BondVillainStupidity:
-->'''Night Moon Mare:''' I could kill you all now, but I'll run away!
* ButtMonkey: She was banished to the moon because ponies were racist against her a thousand years ago. Upon returning, Celestia makes her live in the castle basement. The only mail she ever gets is letter bombs, forwarded from Celestia.
* CatchPhrase: In Night Moon Mare's limited screen time, she manages to say "Saaaaaaaaand!" enough times to get Twilight complaining. When she shows back up as Luna, her new catch phrase is "Bloooooood!"
-->'''Twilight:''' [Fluttershy] can also fix your catch phrase while you're at it.\\
'''Luna:''' ''I'' have a catch phrase?
* EvilSoundsRaspy: Subverted. Night Moon Mare is certainly evil and raspy enough to fit the bill... but we later find out that Princess Luna's voice always sounded like that.
* TheGhost: After the first two episodes, she gets demoted to this for the remainder of season one. There are several references to her being the royal court's butt monkey, and there's a several-episode-spanning subplot about her getting kidnapped, all without Luna appearing on-screen once.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Her friendless status is referenced in several season one episodes. Then, in "Utter Lunacy", she finally does befriend most of Ponyville, but she can't understand ''why'', and she runs away in annoyance.
* NightmareFetishist: Luna greets everyone by shouting "Blooooood!" When pressed to say something normal, the first thing she thinks of is "''I will devour your soul!''"
* NoSocialSkills: She doesn't understand why her Nightmare Fetishist tendencies scare others away, and when she finally does get some friends, she has no idea why. "Wait, I don't know what I did! What did I do?!"
[[/folder]]
!Other family members
[[folder:Big Macintosh]]
->''"Well, rub salt in me eyes! If it isn't you three scurvy dogs!"''
Applejack's older brother. He thinks he's a pirate, and everyone's too scared to tell him otherwise.
* ChickMagnet: As demonstrated by a brief cutaway gag to his birthday party.
-->'''Big Mac:''' Yarr! I be covered in booty!
* TalkLikeAPirate: Everything he says. "Yarr!" is his catchphrase instead of "Eeyup".
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Granny Smith]]
Applejack's grandmother, and the head of the Apple crime family.
* EvilMatriarch: Aside from the fact that she's the Don of the Apple family, she's cruel in completely gratuitous and downright petty ways. Like peeing on Apple Bloom and eating babies.
* WellDoneSonGuy: In "Winning", when Apple Bloom has seemingly earned her cutie mark, and the rest of the family is congratulating her:
-->'''Granny Smith:''' Well, I still think you're worthless.\\
''Apple Bloom:''' Uuuuh, okay then, Granny Smith. Huh, that kind of hurt my feelings.\\
''[...]''\\
'''Granny Smith:''' Try to earn an apple cutie mark in your sleep if you can.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Cheerilee]]
Local elementary school teacher. Married into the Apple family as of "Pirate Shipping".
* ExtremeDoormat: She can't keep discipline in her classroom. Really, she folds like tissue paper if anyone so much as looks at her funny.
* MisplacedKindergartenTeacher: Partly out of laziness and partly to avoid stress, she teaches fluff topics like cutie marks instead of maths or writing, and she brings in guest speakers to make her job even easier.
* SpeechImpediment: She stutters, particularly when she's nervous. It's possibly a result of an off-screen lynching that she survived, just prior to her first appearance.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Braeburn]]
Applejack's cousin from Appleloosa.
* MotorMouth
* TheUnintelligible: Between his fast talking and his thick Irish accent, he's darn near impossible to understand. Fluttershy even says that she can't make out anything he says.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Shining Armor & Princess Cadance]]
Twilight's brother and his wife. Celestia called them "The pony version of Barbie and Ken," and that's as good a description as any.
* AffectionateNickname: They have some for each other, allegedly.
-->'''Shining Armor:''' Hello, my little love muffin!\\
'''Impostor Cadance:''' Oh, yes, it is pony what I am marrying. How are you, my love-love-love?\\
'''Shining Armor:''' ''[to Twilight]'' We're always coming up with silly names to call each other.
* CampStraight: Shining Armor, apparently. Just because he likes fashion magazines, musicals, country music and had sex with some stallion named Samson one or more times (he said "no homo", so it doesn't count) doesn't mean he's gay.
* GoldDigger: Implied. When Twilight asks how SA convinced Cadance to marry him, he answers that mom and dad are leaving everything to him in their will.
* MindManipulation:
-->'''Twilight:''' Oh, I remember Cadance, she's the one who taught me all about mind control!\\
'''Shining Armor:''' Actually, Twilight, it turns out she can't control minds. That's just what she made you think.\\
'''Twilight:''' Ooooh. Wait, what?
* MistakenForGay: Because he's the campiest stallion in existence, Twilight is convinced that Shining Armor is CampGay until he insists otherwise. Part of her reason for trying to drive Cadance away is so Shining can marry a nice stallion.
* WouldHitAGirl: SA wonders [[WhatWouldXDo "What would DJ 3-Pones do?"]] and he doesn't think it at all odd when the answer is ''"Punch her in the nipple!"''
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Parents in general]]
The mane six's parents, lumped together because they don't individually have enough screen time.
* AlcoholicParent: Both of Rarity's parents. An incident from "Sister Angst" is apparently very common:
-->'''Mum:''' We want you to look after Sweetie Belle for us. We're gonna go on a cruise through the Mareibbean! \\
'''Rarity:''' That's a lie, isn't it.\\
'''Mum:''' Yep!\\
'''Rarity:''' You just want to get drunk, don't you?\\
'''Dad:''' Yeah, that's right.\\
'''Rarity:''' You're ''already'' drunk, aren't you?\\
'''Dad:''' I'm not drunk, I'm your father!\\
'''Mum:''' I'm drunk!
* CreepyCrossdresser: Rarity accuses Applejack's dad of being one (in "A Library With No Twilight") and AJ doesn't deny it.
-->''[While playing "Truth or Dare", AJ is dared to dress up like one of her parents. She puts on a PimpedOutDress.]''\\
'''Rarity:''' Aw, gee, Applejack, I didn't know your dad had such fine taste.
* DeathByChildbirth: Rainbow Dash's Mom. Apparently, she had an extremely unhealthy diet, which caused her to have a heart attack while giving birth to Dash.
* DrivenToSuicide: Applejack's mom and dad. Granny Smith blames Apple Bloom for it.
* PosthumousCharacter: Both Applejack's and Rainbow Dash's parents.
[[/folder]]
!Antagonists
[[folder:(possibly) Derpy Hooves]]
->''"It puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets ten thousand volts up the butt again!"''
This incarnation of everybody's favorite wall-eyed gray background pegasus is violently insane and Scottish.
* AssKicksYou:
-->'''Derpy:''' But the lightning has given my ass supernatural powers. Behold! [...] Butt powers, asstivate!
* AxCrazy: Beyond any reasonable doubt. It's merely implied in her few scenes from season one: In "A Library With No Twilight", she attacks tree branches while hurling curses at Mother Nature. In "Ponynet Fight!", she drops heavy objects on Twilight's head, then declares, "You see, my way does work better!" Then, season two gives us "Derp and Destruction", in which she gains superpowers and immediately decides to kill everyone in Ponyville with them.
* NoNameGiven: Sort of. She's fully aware of the real-life controversy surrounding her name, and the fact that Hasbro is going out of their way to avoid mentioning it.
-->'''Derpy:''' Or my name isn't--and maybe it isn't--Derpy Hooves!
* ViolentGlaswegian: She has a Scots accent to go with her Ax Craziness.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Diamond Tiara & Silver Spoon]]
Two bullies in Apple Bloom's class.
* FlatCharacter: In "Out with the Old Characters":
-->'''Silver Spoon:''' I wish I had a personality.
* TheUnintelligible: Diamond Tiara has a very nasally voice that's ''barely'' intelligible.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Three David Bowies]]
A trio of diamond dogs who kidnap Rarity in "The David Bowie Drinking Game".
* PlanetOfSteves: They're ''all'' named David Bowie.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Discord]]
The fundamental embodiment of chaos. More of a creep and a dick than an outright villain.
* DirtyOldMan: Towards Twilight specifically. He invades her personal space while making a random aside about his penis. Then he [[ThreatBackfire reinterprets one of her threats]] as an invitation to screw.
* MrSeahorse: In "How to Control Freaks", he claims he's having a baby.
* TalkativeLoon: He's fully capable of making sense when he needs to. He just prefers to spew nonsense.
-->'''Discord:''' I've taken the liberty of impending sobriety!\\
'''Celestia:''' Okay, look, Discord, I get that chaos is your thing, but can you please just make sense this one time?\\
'''Discord:''' Make sense? Oh, why make sense when you can make ''pan trees!'' That's trees that are shaped like pans, not actual pantries, because that would just be ''silly!''
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Flim Flam Brothers]]
A pair of traveling preachers. In "Faith to Faith", they come to Ponyville to spread the good news about "the one true alicorn": King Lord High Commander Darkflame Steelwings, the Magnificent!
* FriendlyEnemy: When they're exposed as frauds, and Applejack refuses their proposed competition, they leave without further argument, only pausing to wish AJ a good day.
* OriginalCharacter: From their description, Flim and Flam's god seems to combine all the worst traits of bad [=OCs=] from the ''FIM'' fanfiction scene.
-->'''Flam:''' I'm here to teach you of the one true alicorn! He who saved Manehattan from killer robots! He who first fought and defeated Discord! He who is totally best friends with Celestia, and she has a secret crush on him! It is... King Lord High Commander Darkflame Steelwings, The Magnificent! ''[beat]'' He has an extra pair of wings, and also created magic.
* TryToFitThatOnABusinessCard: King Lord High Commander Darkflame Steelwings, the Magnificent's elaborate title is also the nascent faith's downfall. It becomes abundantly clear that he doesn't actually exist when Flam can't keep his full name and title straight.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Dragon bros]]
In "How Not to Train Your Dragon", Spike goes on a quest to find his purpose. Instead, he finds ''these'' jerks. They call themselves the [[FunWithAcronyms Brothers Republic Of Noble Youth]].
* FratBro: Unlike canon, they're extremely laid-back, and they accept Spike into their group almost immediately. But they're just as bad an influence on Spike as their canon counterparts.
* OddNameOut: Their names are Chet, Bret, Brent, Trent, Kyle, Lyle... and Seth. ("He's autistic.")
* StrawFan: The name of their group is a dead giveaway, and they ask Spike what his favorite rock is (referencing the endless internet discussions over who is "best pony"). They're a stand-in for the sort of ''MLP:FIM'' fans who've missed the point of the show and think "acceptance" is the highest virtue--that it's okay to be a complete jerkass but it's wrong to criticize someone for being a jerkass.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Queen Chrysalis]]
Queen of the Ch-ch-ch-ch-changelings. Impersonates Princess Cadance as part of an attempted invasion of Equestria in "The Longest Engagement" and "The Longest Wedding".
* BrutalHonesty: While disguised as Cadance in "The Longest Engagement", she has no qualms about insulting ponies to their faces. Applejack and Pinkie Pie respect her for being unafraid to speak her mind.
* IShallTauntYou: Has a knack for finding the one insult that will really cheese off her opponents: for Twilight, it's [[YouAreFat her weight]] and for Celestia, it's her age.
[[/folder]]
!Narrators
[[folder:Wacarb]]
The creator of ''Ultra Fast Pony'' also provides commentary on the episodes themselves, in the form of on-screen captions.
* InteractiveNarrator: Less so than the other narrators, but ponies do occasionally see and react to his captions. In "Chickens! Run!" he messes with Scootaloo by covering up her subtitles, preventing everyone else from understanding her. In "The Best Episode Ever", Applejack tells him to knock off the "CLASSY POLITICAL HUMOR" captions.
* LemonyNarrator: He constantly chimes in to poke fun at everyone, especially himself.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Phil]]
The main narrator, who does voiceovers. Has the distinction of uttering the very first lines in the entire show: "Meanwhile, in Equestria. Oh, yeah..."
* InteractiveNarrator: "A Library with No Twilight" is the biggest example, where his unwelcome narration is the episode's true antagonist. Since then, ponies don't react to him as much, but a scene from "Chickens! Run!" shows that they can always hear him, and they're just trying to ignore him.
* LemonyNarrator: He narrates everything in his best porn star voice, reinterprets scenes in the most risque fashion possible, and [[LampshadedDoubleEntendre lampshades potential innuendo]] with a trademark, "Oh ''yeaaaaah...''"
* ThePeepingTom:
-->'''Applejack:''' Where have you been all this time?\\
'''Phil:''' I've been watching what ponies do in their private time. Mmmhmmm.
* StrawFan: He's a caricature of that subset of fans who get really creepy about RuleThirtyFour, HoYayShipping, and finding {{subtext}} where there is none. The captions in "Library with No Twilight" explicitly identify him as a brony ([[TakeThatAudience "EXACTLY LIKE YOU!"]]).
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Tom Watergate & Dick Hardman]]
The color commentators for "The Pet Games".
* CuckoolanderCommentator: Throughout the games, Dick spouts non-sequiturs and frequently has no idea what's happening at the race. Tom Watergate's commentary is relatively normal, but his complete non-reactions to Dick's nonsense suggest he's not all there, either.
* PunnyName: Dick Hardman, whose name serves as an excuse to cram as many dick jokes as possible into the episode's dialogue.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The propagandist]]
The narrator of "For Glorious Mother Equestria", who tries to turn the episode into a political propaganda film. ''Tries.''
* InteractiveNarrator: Twilight and Rarity both call him out for his inaccuracies.
* LemonyNarrator: He wildly reinterprets events to better fit the party line.
* UnreliableVoiceover: His politically-charged exposition keeps directly contradicting what actually happens on-screen. Hardly anyone is fooled.
-->'''Narrator:''' But wait! The evil dragon has lured ponies into his lair. What evil plans does he have for them?\\
'''Spike:''' I'm glad I'm able to spend my birthday with all of my friends! I'm so happy and full of love!
[[/folder]]
!Other characters
[[folder:Mayor Mare]]
->''"Oh, no no no!"''
The finest mayor that money can buy.
* CorruptPolitician:
-->'''Mayor Mare:''' I thank you all for coming, and for not running against me as Mayor, again. Especially after my last opponent was found dead in that river. We may never know how he got there.
* FunnyForeigner: What with her accent and her frequent references to her "native people". In "Utter Lunacy", she decides that this episode's variation on the joke is too offensive to continue, and notes that the show is going to make a lot of viewers angry.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The mysterious heckler]]
A pony who either has a strong disagreement with Mayor Mare's leadership of Ponyville, or who just thinks the Mayor makes a great {{troll}}ing target.
* TheHeckler: He shouts insults at Mayor Mare ''every time'' she gives a public speech. He also heckles Rainbow Dash's speech in "Forgettershy", but that was just because he was attending the wrong speech by mistake.
* TheVoice: We've yet to see him, and no one in-universe knows who he is, either. When Mayor Mare tries to call him out, he just blends into the crowd.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Snuggle Berry]]
An impossibly perfect alicorn who's mentioned several times in "Mob Wars".
* CanonForeigner: She gets inserted into the story through the brilliant editing trick of never appearing on screen at all.
* TheGhost: She wins an award for being an upstanding member of the community, then dies tragically, entirely off-screen.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Gilda]]
A griffon who Rainbow Dash befriends after a falling-out with Pinkie Pie.
* StiffUpperLip: She has a posh British accent, and maintains composure even while suffering from severe burns and a malfunctioning pacemaker.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Blue Twilight]]
->'''Twilight:''' There's no such pony as Blue Twilight! \\
'''Blue Twilight:''' Everyone look at my magical skills. I don't need friends! \\
'''Twilight:''' Holy crap, it really is blue me!
She's just like Twilight, but she's blue. (In another universe, she's known as Trixie.)
* {{Foil}}: To purple Twilight. Their similarities just highlight the absurdity of Ponyville's very different treatment of the two Twilights.
* IneffectualLoner: "I don't need friends!" she declares at the episode's start. At the end, she has to be rescued by purple Twilight.
* NiceGirl: Unlike canon, she isn't boastful or arrogant about her abilities. She puts on a magic show completely for free. She's polite to her fans. She doesn't even get angry when Twi's friends try to show her up.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Snips and Snails]]
Two unicorn colts. Snips is apparently Blue Twilight's son.
* CaptainObvious: Half of Snails' lines are just announcing whatever's going on at the moment.
-->'''Snails:''' We're charging through!
* OddFriendship: Snips is about as smart as Scootaloo. Snails is dumb as a brick.
* TalkativeLoon: The ''other'' half of Snails' lines are nonsensical non-sequiturs.
-->'''Snails:''' I'm a pickled bean!
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Zecora]]
''This zebra from the Everfree is pretty cool.\\
[[WordSaladLyrics A ratchet set and pliers are some useful tools!]]''
* MagicalNegro: Lampshaded:
-->'''Zecora:''' Yo, why you only ever come here when you ''need'' something?\\
'''Twilight:''' I don't always do that! [[IResembleThatRemark What about that time I came here and you didn't give me what I needed? ...That was different.]]
* RhymesOnADime: She frequently ''raps'' her lines, complete with a backing beat. When she's alone, she brainstorms rhymes to use in later conversations. Though she'll break from her rhyme scheme if someone catches her off-guard, or if she just doesn't care.
* SoulBrotha / SpaceJews: She's the Equestrian version of a black American stereotype, specifically the the cool, rap-spouting "urban" character.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Bon Bon]]
One of the most dangerous mares in Ponyville, apparently.
* TheDreaded: ''Applejack'' is afraid of her.
* StrawFeminist: When asked why Bon Bon is so shrill and unpleasant, Applejack just answers that she's "one of the feminists". We never actually hear what Bon Bon's feminism entails.
* TheUnintelligible: In her first appearance, her lines are just an irritating "Ya ya ya ya". She becomes more understandable for her cameo in "Faith to Faith".
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Spitfire, Soarin, and the Ineffectual Flight Team]]
The Ineffectual Flight Team (later renamed Super Effective Flight Team) are the allegedly elite flying force of the Equestrian military. Spitfire is their leader. Soarin is her subordinate and also husband.
* HenpeckedHusband: Spitfire publicly mocks Soarin for his impotence, driving him to tears on a few occasions. At Cadance and Shining Armor's wedding reception:
-->'''Caption:''' Soarin enjoyed his free time, then cried like a baby, knowing it would end soon.
* TheLoinsSleepTonight: An ongoing, offscreen problem for Soarin. In "The Longest Episode", he tries to fix it by eating a pie laced with Viagra. In "Forgettershy", Spitfire cracks a joke about it:
-->''[After Rainbow Dash tries and fails to make a tornado...]''\\
'''Spitfire:''' Having trouble getting it up, Rainbow Dash? Not the first blue pegasus I know with that problem...
* RedShirtArmy: With a name like Ineffectual Flight Team, what do you expect?
** They first show up in "Shameless Self Reference":
-->'''Twilight:''' Quick! Ineffectual Flight Team, go!\\
''[Pow! Thunk!]''\\
'''Twilight:''' It's no good! They were ineffectual!
** When they reappear in "For Glorious Mother Equestria!" to deal with a rampaging dragon, they operate under the new name Super Effective Flight Team.
-->''[Crash!]''\\
'''Rarity:''' Changing their name did nothing to help their ability to fly!
[[/folder]]
[[folder:DJ Scratch Vinyl 3-Pones]]
->''"What would DJ 3-Pones do?"''
A disc jockey and apparently a respected source of all-purpose advice.
* TheCameo: In "The Longest Wedding", she's voiced by IMMATOONLINK (creator of very surreal pony videos), making her the ''only'' character to date voiced by someone besides Wacarb.
* ClicheStorm: She hands out well-worn truisms ("''With the power of friendship, anything is possible!''") like they're cheap cigars.
* NoIndoorVoice: She shouts literally all of her lines.
* PhraseCatcher: Everyone asks themselves [[WhatWouldXDo "What would DJ 3-Pones do?"]] She somehow hears and answers them, immediately.
* TalkativeLoon: Most of her "advice" makes sense on its own ("''Always eat your fruits and vegetables!''"), but is at best tangentially related to what the other pony was actually asking her.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Butts Family]]
A tribe of buffalo who have a dispute with the town of Appleloosa. May or may not actually exist, as their only appearance is [[NestedStoryReveal in a story told by Pinkie Pie]].
* MrSeahorse: All the tribe's females have been kidnapped, so it's up to the male buffalo to give birth. It's not pretty.
* ThemeNaming / UnfortunateName: Much to Pinkie Pie's amusement, every named member of the tribe has "butt" somewhere in their name. Chief Thunderbutt, Little Strongbutt...
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Ponyville P.D.]]
Detective Pinkie Pie's fellow cops from "Stay Tuned". Sir Lintsalot, Rocky, and Mr. Turnip collectively fill the role of the put-upon chief of police. Gummy the alligator is assigned to Pinkie as her partner.
* DaChief: They tell Detective Pinkie that they need results, dammit. They've got the District Attorney breathing down their necks, and if Pinkie can't crack the case open, then she'll have to [[TurnInYourBadge turn in her badge]].
* TheExoticDetective: Detective Gummy has psychic powers.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Prince Blueblood]]
Rarity's ideal love interest, or so he seems at first.
* PrinceCharming: In a complete inversion from canon, Blueblood actually is a perfect gentlestallion. Things still don't work out between him and Rarity, because she ''wants'' a prince who's willing to bully her.
* PunctuatedForEmphasis: He... ''talks just like''... WilliamShatner!
* SafetyWorst: He takes care to neutralize anything at the Gala that could possibly be a safety hazard. Which just bores Rarity and convinces her that Blueblood is a pansy.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Mutation]]
A silent, purple-clad pony with superpowers.
*CanonForeigner: She's ''UFP'''s version of the Mysterious Mare-Do-Well, but she's a separate character rather than a shared alias of the mane six.
* CoconutSuperpowers: She's mute, and has the superpower of silencing anything around her. Naturally, this makes Wacarb's job a lot easier. Lampshaded in the stinger of "The Cheesen One".
-->''[Mutation rescues a bunch of ponies in complete silence.]''\\
'''Caption:''' BEST! SUPERPOWER! EVER!\\
'''Rainbow Dash:''' Wow. I'm not sure if we're getting worse at editing these videos, or we're just getting lazier. Probably both.
* TheSpeechless: Pretty much her defining trait.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Fancy Pants & Fleur de Lesbian]]
Fancy Pants is a very rich pony who, much to Rarity's chagrin, just wants to be friends. Fleur is his wife.
* MasterOfTheMixedMessage: Fancypants. He's already married and just wants to be friends with Rarity, yet he gives off loads of innuendo ([[InnocentInnuendo of which he's completely oblivious]]) in every conversation.
-->'''Rarity:''' Well, it wasn't easy, I'll tell you that!\\
'''Fancypants:''' Oh, yes, I see. It's not the only thing between the two of us that feels quite hard.\\
'''Rarity:''' Oh, ''really?''\\
'''Fancypants:''' Yes, this whole "being friends" thing is much more difficult than I thought.\\
'''Rarity:''' Oh, that's what you meant.
* NonindicativeName:
** Fancypants wears a jacket and no pants, so Rarity initially assumes his name must be Fancyjacket.
** We don't know enough about Fleur de Lesbian to determine if she's an example of this, or if it's a MeaningfulName.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Cranky & Mathilda]]
Two donkeys. Mathilda is a long-time Ponyville resident. Cranky is a newcomer who becomes the object of Pinkie's obsession because he doesn't think she's very funny.
* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: If Pinkie can be trusted, Mathilda is a prostitute.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Pinkie tries to invoke this to make Cranky like her. It doesn't work. (Although, in context, Cranky still comes across as less of a jerk than Pinkie.)
-->'''Cranky:''' I hate you so much.\\
'''Pinkie:''' Oh, come on, Dixie, that's just your brain talking. You gotta listen to your heart!\\
'''Cranky:''' My heart also hates you so much.
* OverlyLongName:
-->'''Cranky:''' My name be Crankydoodledinkledonkeydoodledee, the Fourth, but you can just call me Crankydoodledinkledonkeydoodledee, The.\\
'''Pinkie:''' No, that's stupid. I'ma just call you Cranky.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Iron Will]]
A motivational speaker who specializes in helping ponies overcome their shyness.
* CanadaEh: He has an exaggerated Canadian accent and he's very polite. He can do an intimidating voice like his canon counterpart, but even then...
-->'''Iron Will:''' And then you just tell them in a nice polite way, that they can ''[scary voice]'' [[AC:shove it up your ass! I will have you spayed! You ruined my floor with your bullcrap! Now get out of my sight, you worthless sack of maggots!]] ''[normal voice]'' You know, just something like that. But you don’t want to swear at them, because that might be offensive.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Doctor(?)]]
Specifically, the alleged doctor from from "Reading to Rainbow".
* CannotTellAJoke:
-->'''Doctor:''' You know, I have a joke, too. And it's a pretty good one.\\
''[beat]''\\
'''Applejack:''' Right...
* TheDitz: Come to think of it, he probably isn't really a doctor.
-->'''Doctor:''' ''[examining an x-ray print]'' I'm afraid it doesn't look good. I tried connecting the dots, but they're not numbered. And without numbers, it's just chaos. ''Total chaos.'' I'm sorry, Rainbow Dash, but we're going to have to amputate your flappy things.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Rose]]
A OneSceneWonder from "So Random!"
* ForgetfulJones:
-->'''Pinkie Pie:''' I can't help but notice that [[NonIndicativeName despite your name and cutie mark]], you're growing flowers that aren't roses.\\
'''Rose:''' Sorry about that, I've got a very bad memory.\\
'''Pinkie:''' Oh, don't worry. I'm sure we'll get that fixed one day.\\
'''Rose:''' Get what fixed?\\
''[beat]''\\
'''Rose:''' 'Allo, Pinkie Pie!\\
'''Pinkie:''' Goodbye, Rose.
* NonIndicativeName: See above.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Orb]]
A talking, spherical force field who constantly tells everyone that "None may enter the Orb!"
* CanonForeigner: Wacarb took what was originally just a special effect and gave it a voice and a personality.
* CatchPhrase: "None may enter" etc etc.
* LargeHam.
* ThirdPersonPerson: The Orb laughs at the concept of first person pronouns!
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The cake eating suspects]]
Gustav the griffon, Mulia Mild the mule, and Pony Joe.
* CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkey: Gustav, by his own admission. When Pinkie accuses him of stealing a cake, his reply is:
