Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyG3'' seemed to have been made with this trope in mind. Pinkie Pie, when [[DeadpanSnarker not snarking at her friends]], [[BeYourself Lilly Lightly]], [[FunSize The Breezies]], [[TomboyWithAGirlyStreak Princess Rarity]] particularly [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone after realizing]] [[NeverMyFault her hasty mistakes]] [[ItsAllMyFault nearly drained all the color from the world]] because of it, and [[UpToEleven most notably]] the [[CompanionCube sock-obssessed]] [[TheDitz ditzy nut]], [[EnsembleDarkhorse Minty]].

** '''[[ShrinkingViolet Fluttershy]]''', the ''[[FriendToAllLivingThings Element of]] [[AllLovingHero Kindness]]'': Moe-Goddess '''Made by Westerners!''' Turned UpToEleven with her childhood version, {{F|anNickname}}illyshy. Even despite her fragility she's still as cute as ever, if not more so ([[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic plus, she sings!]]). However, the narrative does a great job of not letting the archetype reduce her a FlatCharacter; the series itself demonstrates that while she is too selfless for her own good, [[BadassAdorable she despite being submissive can stand on her own ground]], [[BewareTheNiceOnes especially if it involves protecting her friends or loved ones]]. Her manifestation of the Moe Archetype is particularly [[InvokedTrope invoked]] in the episode "Green Isn't Your Color," where Fluttershy becomes a supermodel entirely due to her Moe appeal, complete with EnforcedMethodActing so she always looks scared in her pictures. In fact, [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz3bifnRY21r9owvgo1_500.gif this gif sums up her moeness perfectly.]][[note]]All of this is of course, subverted in the episode where she temporarily becomes [[FanNickname "Flutterage"]].[[/note]]

** Rarity may seem haughty at times but she can be very moe, especially when she gets excited.

Added DiffLines:

* A misled witch named Draggle from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie1986'', because of how pitiable she is.
* As for the ponies themselves, [[TheCutie Sweet Stuff]], [[GenkiGirl Fizzy, Surprise, and Firefly]], Shady [[TheWoobie for some]], and [[TheSpock Wind Whistler]], particularly when [[NotSoStoic she lets her warmer personality show]].
* Megan's cute little sister Molly, who also debuted in the movie.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTales'' gives us [[TheHeart Sweetheart]], particularly [[SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound her adorable voice]], [[CuteClumsyGirl Clover]], and [[CuteBookworm Brighteyes]], especially when she [[{{Adorkable}} gushes over her love of environmental science]].
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyG3'' seemed to have been made with this trope in mind. Pinkie Pie, when [[DeadpanSnarker not snarking at her friends]], [[BeYourself Lilly Lightly]], [[FunSize The Breezies]], [[TomboyWithAGirlyStreak Princess Rarity]] particularly [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone after realizing]] [[NeverMyFault her hasty mistakes]] [[ItsAllMyFault nearly drained all the color from the world]] because of it, and [[UpToEleven most notably]] the [[CompanionCube sock-obssessed]] [[TheDitz ditzy nut]], [[EnsembleDarkhorse Minty]].
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': It's a show where most characters are, by virtue of the art style alone, utterly adorable, so the fact that there exists a trio of characters known in the fandom as "The Council of Shy Ponies" whose most noticeable shared traits are shyness and cuteness, is honestly rather impressive[[note]]It should be noted however, that in this series, that's part of the joke, [[DependingOnTheWriter except in episodes where it's played straight]].[[/note]]:

** [[https://derpibooru.org/514869 Coco Pommel]] is almost hurtfully moe. The fact that she [[BadBoss works for a plagiarizing slave driver]] and is ''painfully'' good at making [[PuppyDogEyes kicked puppy faces]] certainly helps.
** [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicManeFamilyMembers Marble Pie]], Pinkie's younger sister. She's painfully shy[[note]]Just like Fluttershy.[[/note]], never says anything other than "mhm", and is utterly adorable.
** Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, even Scootaloo at times, being [[TokenMiniMoe little girls]]. Sweetie Belle gets the added bonus of being a CuteClumsyGirl with an amazing singing voice and [[RuleOfThree adorable]] voice cracks.
** [[DitzyGenius Princess]] [[FishOutOfTemporalWater Luna]], since ''Luna Eclipsed''. [[JerkassWoobie All she wanted for was redemption to be accepted back by her own people, yet instead of helping her adapt in the modern world, everybody else (except Twilight and Pipsqueak) hates her and pushes her away]].[[note]]Then again, if someone tried to conquer your world and/or enslave you, you'd (probably) act the same way.[[/note]] And of course, let's not get started on the immense "Luna is best pony" adherents in the Brony community, most artwork about her portraying her trying to learn clumsily about the Modern World, and looking quite cute once she messes up due to her sheer naivete (e.g. ''Fanfic/{{Progress}}'')
** Pinkie Pie, the adorable GenkiGirl who always wants to make ponies happy.
** Rainbow Dash, The LovableJock who’s always loyal to her friends.
** Twilight Sparkle, the {{Adorkable}} BadassBookworm who’s also The Princess of Friendship.
** Starlight Glimmer is even more {{Adorkable}} than Twilight.
** Derpy Hooves, The well meaning CuteClumsyGirl is beloved by fans for here adorkableness.
** Rarity may seem haughty at times but she can be very moe, especially when she gets excited.
