** A common fanon portrayal of [[Large Ham|The Great]] [[Ensemble Darkhorse|and Powerful]] '''[[Nice Hat|TRRRIXIIEEE]]''' depicts her [[Miles Gloriosus]] streak as a mask over a [[Dark and Troubled Past]] with a side order of [[The Woobie|woobie]]. (It's quite possible you get bonus points for the degree of cruelty with which you kill off the parent who inspired her to start a magic act.) |

*** Others have suggested that Trixie suffers from an [[Inferiority Superiority Complex]]; she didn't make it in magic school because she was a bully whose only real talent was using her telekinesis to pick on others compared to other unicorns that can do much more ''useful'' magic. Similar to common fan theories about Applebloom's nemesis Diamond Tiara, this theory holds that Trixie is such a showboating [[Jerkass]] because her talent is nothing special and she's desperate to convince herself and everypony else otherwise. |

**** Given Diamond Tiara's behavior in 'Flight to the Finish'<ref>When you deliberately and publicly mock a handicapped person on their disability for the specific purpose of making them upset and self-conscious enough to sabotage themselves, simply because they're ahead of you in a contest and you want to win, you have officially certified that ''you have no soul''.</ref>, the fandom is now generally of the opinion that she's a horrible pony with no redeeming features. Silver Spoon's own enthusiastic participation in this effort hasn't done her any favors either. |

** [[Our Griffons Are Different|Gilda]] gets viewed in a couple different ways, ranging from a full-on [[Jerkass]] thug who feels [[Clingy Jealous Girl|overly possessive]] of Dash, a [[Tsundere]] [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] that got caught on a bad day, or a genuine [[Cool Big Sis]] character who got tripped up by [[Blue and Orange Morality|cultural boundaries]] which Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie [[Poor Communication Kills|didn't consider]] and [[Disproportionate Retribution|overeacted to.]] |

** Scootaloo is the only member of the [[Power Trio|Cutie Mark Crusaders]] who has had no familial connections shown or even hinted at, and is rarely seen apart from her two closest friends. Additionally, she's a pegasus unable to fly for anything but short distances, and is rarely seen without her crude wooden scooter. As such, Scootaloo is often depicted as being stuck in an abusive family, or as a homeless orphan. |
