* NervesOfSteel: Timberjack's courage is such that he is able to remain calm and composed even in the direst situations, at most expressing annoyance at his predicament. He's so fearless in fact some speculate he some form of neuropsychological abnormality which eliminated his ability to feel anything remotely to fear, but nothing is ever proven or provable. It's also very difficult to rile him up.
* ThePrankster: Timberjack loves pranking others either to get back at them for slights or just for his own amusement. Getting one over his honourary uncle, a magically-knowledgeable/skilled three-headed Giant, with a prank impressed him enough to gift Timberjack with four magical artifacts which proved very useful for his adventures.

* VanHelsingHateCrimes: Subverted. While he kills Giants Timberjack does not have any particular gripes with Giants, with most of his victims being evil or malevolent Giants who were causing trouble for everybody. In fact, his honourary uncle is a three-headed Giant with him he got along very well and who had helped Timberjack with his adventures, while said honorary uncle's three-headed mage son Triphendoeth was a major member of Jack's Merry Band.

* AdaptationalBadass: Timberjack not only slays far more Giants than his Jack the GIant Killer counterpart, he also faced opponents who are implied to be far more dangerous than the ones Jack did in the original stories, and was also far more well-equipped and supported to boot.
* AdaptationalExpansion: Timberjack's original exploits are explained to be merely his earliest well-known adventures. The entry noted he would continue slaying Giants for the rest of his life, well into his golden years, and face even more varied and dangerous opponents.

* ArchEnemy: While Timberjack gathered a considerable RoguesGallery of Giants AND non-Giants, a few stand out as being his most personal and dangerous opponents, such as the haughty and unrelenting Giant demigod Prince Llofruddiaeth, who became one of his most personal and dangerous nemeses, and Azisa the Sphinx, who was one of the few cunning enough to match him wit for wit. There's also Mathrwrgwaed, a Giant warlord who was the most famous collective enemy of Jack's Merry Band who sought to dominate the known world.
* CoolPeopleRebelAgainstAuthority: Timberjack has a fundamental gripe against the big and strong who pick on the small and weak, often standing up against the powerful for the powerless. This was a big motivation for his giant-slaying, as evil Giants often exemplifies this with their bullying and domination of those smaller than they are.
* CoolSword: Among the magical artifacts Timberjack acquired from his honorary uncle includes a nameless magical sword which could cut through almost anything, which proves especially useful for Timberjack when cutting off heads of large Giants.



* UnscrupulousHero: An mischievous and honourless Pony by nature, Timberjack would use just about any dirty trick to prevail against his opponents. He would respect rules if required or it's more convenient to do so, but will side-stepped them the first chance he gets.

to:

* UnscrupulousHero: HunterOfMonsters: Timberjack is one for (evil and malevolent) Giants, having slain many even as a youth and many more throughout his entire life, sometimes even going out of his way to find and kill them. He's also among the most successful mortal Giant-slayers to ever live, with even the most conservative tallies putting his kill-count in the hundreds for ''personal'' kills (and up to thousands with help).
* PragmaticHero:
An mischievous and honourless Pony by nature, Timberjack would use just about any dirty trick to prevail against his opponents. He would respect rules if required or it's more convenient to do so, but will side-stepped them the first chance moment it stops working for him. To him, rules and honour are often something the big and powerful make to collar and excuse their bullying of the small and weak, and thus not something worth abiding unless the rulemaker is someone worthy of respect e.g. Prince Generous Alms and Queen Sunsparkle.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Among the evil Giants of Bittainnia, Timberjack was a traumatic event, having killed hundreds of Giants ''personally'' even at the most conservative estimates and thousands more with allies and assistance. It's noted high ball counts of his exploits would had put a palpable dent in the Giant population of Bittainnia at the time. It cemented his reputation as TheDreaded for Giantkind in Bittainnia/Griffish Isles well into the Fourth Age.
* RoguesGallery: Over the years, Timberjack would gather one among mostly Giants, with a few non-Giants to spice things up, including but by no means limited to the following:
** Azisa the Sphinx - a scheming foreign Sphinx giantess who invaded Bittainnia during his lifetime, and is notable for one of the few adversaries who can match the guile Timberjack wit for wit.
** Prince Llofruddiaeth - a haughty and unrelenting Giant demigod, found Timberjack's very existence to be an affront to Giants like him and made it a mission to 'put him back in his place'.
** The Rampage of the Bereaved - a coalition of powerful Giants descended from the evil Giants whom Timberjack had slain, seeking to avenge their fallen parents.
** Bittannic king Rhedegol - a rival of Queen Sunsparkle who was obsessed with finding or creating an artefact that would allow him to control Giants.
** Ffurflen the Conjurer - former ally of the giant Galligraintua who sought revenge against Timberjack for ruining his plans and experiments when
he gets.slain Galligraintua.
** Boreuseren, a Demon who pretended to be Morning Star who possessed a maiden Timberjack and Prince Generous Alms freed, and sought revenge against them for his defeat.

* TheDreaded: Timberjack's record is such that even in modern day Griffish Isles, he is feared as a bogeymare among many Giants, who constantly fear another Tiny might take up the mantle to slay them as numerously as he did.
* {{Expy}}: Of ''[[Literature/JackTheGiantKiller Jack the Giant-Killer]]''.
* GuileHero: Timberjack's defining heroic style is this. All his victories against evil Giants and even average-sized foes came from using his brains rather than brawn, using all manners of trickery and tactics to outwit his opponents and bring them down.

Timberjack (his entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Friendship-Gardens-Notable-Individuals-1-981092770 here]]) was a denizen of Cyfeillgarwch Gardd who lived during the illustrious reign of Queen Sunsparkle. He became renowned for his exploits slaying countless evil and monstrous Giants (among other adventures), earning him the epithet 'The Giant-Killer', and whose legend would be known and retold well into the present day, inspiring Tinies to stand up against Giants and striking fear among Giants towards Tinies.

* ForWantOfANail: Had Crystal Clear never noticed the warning signs in her behavior and warned Blue Suede Heartstrings (who in turn warned Teddy and Sweetheart), she would have been killed by High Volt Havoc for trying to leave the gang she initially joined. She has been very grateful to Crystal since then after finding out he was responsible for her life being saved.

* BeenThereShapedHistory: She was around the Second Great War in the Second Age, where she fought on the side of her returned sister and the Allies against the Axis powers. Among her most notable actions in that time include biting the Reichist battleship Bitsmarck in half.
* BecomingTheMask: She was much faster to embrace her Giant nature than Terra Firma in Ponyland, owing to being similar in temperament.



* BlindedByRage: Easily one of her biggest flaws, having a violent temper which could cause her to lash out destructively, causing at minimum property damage as she trashes her immediate vicinity before calming or being calmed down.



* HotBlooded: Both metaphorically and literally due to her volatile temperament and Fire Giant nature.



* MyGreatestFailure: Her negligence/recklessness early in her stint as a knight left her sister Queen Sunsparkle exposed during a military engagement, costing them a battle and nearly getting her sister killed. Delightful Clarity took it hard and went on a quest to find ways she could become a better knight.

* OurGiantsAreBigger: Dame Delightful Clarity became an Equine Fire Giant as a result of an artifact, which on top of standard giant nature comes with ability to manipulate heat and fire.

** It's noted by the one who added her to Codex that all this is her ''without'' access to the hyper advanced technology and magic of the Imperium Era, which was lost. So it's very likely she used to be ''even stronger'' than she was in the First Age, and thus still likely outclassed her successors when she was at her strongest. At her strongest, [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/913884105/4981991986 she managed to]] defeat Traasena, the Queen Predator, an immensely powerful deity capable of destroying entire civilization and who in the Second Age took the united power of the entire Solar System to defeat, ''one on one''. Traasena herself asserts that yes, Majesty truly ''was'' the strongest mortal to have ever lived and that Sunsparkle at the time realizes sheer innate power wasn't the only reason Majesty earned her reputation.
