== The Wonderbolts ==

[[File:Wonderbolt_Poster_by_Stinkehund_8667.png|frame]]

 

The most talented flyers in all of Equestria and Rainbow Dash's idols. The Wonderbolts perform at the Grand Galloping Gala every year and also served as celebrity judges for the Best Young Flyer Competition in Cloudsdale.

 

* [[Adaptation Name Change]]: One of [[The Hub]]'s alternate stories of how Rainbow Dash got her cutie mark refers to them as the Blue Thunders.

* [[Badass in Distress]]: Very briefly in "Sonic Rainboom".

* [[Fan Nickname]]:

** Over on [[Tumblr]], the [[Ask a Pony]] community have pretty much accepted the third Wonderbolt judge that gets saved by Rainbow Dash as "Misty", and Fleetfoot was given the first name "Echo" (days before Fleetfoot was named in show). Tyco for the one with the orange and really light yellow hair, and Ariel, the one with curly blue hair, are gaining in popularity.

** "Doc" (Not to be confused with Doctor Whooves, see [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Characters/Background Ponies|Background Ponies]]) is a popular nickname for the one with gray hair resembling [[Back to The Future|Doc Brown]].

* [[Glass Cannon]]: They are incredibly fast and agile, and at full speed their wings can cut through dragon scales like knife through butter, but a single hit from Rarity was enough to send three of them plummeting to their (almost) death. Makes sense since [[Fridge Brilliance|horses kick a lot harder than humans can.]]

* [[Latex Space Suit]]: What their blue uniforms appear to be.

* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: The Wonderbolts resemble the [[wikipedia:Blue Angels|US Navy Blue Angels]] in colour scheme, profession and flying style while their name recalls the [[wikipedia:United States Air Force Thunderbirds|Thunderbirds]].

* [[No Name Given]]: All of them except Soarin', Spitfire, Fleetfoot, and Rapidfire. Another one ''could'' have the [[All There in the Script]] name of Breezie or Surprise; see her entry below for details.

* [[Opaque Lenses]]: Their goggles.

* [[Razor Wings]]: Probably a by-product of natural Pegasi abilities; sharp enough to shave a dragon if they feel like it.

=== Spitfire ===

[[File:Spitfire_by_Issyrael_387.png|frame|Well, ain't she [[Just for Pun|hot]]?]]

 

A yellow Pegasus mare with a fiery looking mane, Spitfire has a laid back and easy going personality in contrast to her appearance. "Hurricane Fluttershy" revealed that she is the leader of the Wonderbolts (as many fans had assumed beforehand).

* [[Brown Eyes]]

* [[The Captain]]

 

=== Soarin' ===

 

* [[Big Eater]]: According to his teammate Spitfire, always gets hungry after a performance. When he finds Applejack's food cart, he goes absolutely nuts for one of her apple pies.

** Which has lead to [[Shipping]] between the two.

 

=== Fleetfoot ===

 

A blue pegasus with a white mane. She's apparently one of the smaller Wonderbolts, but makes up for it with great speed. She wins the derby in "Sweet and Elite".

* [[Freeze-Frame Bonus]]: How she's identified. In "Sweet and Elite" its announced she's the winner of the race, however it's hard to tell which Wonderbolt is Fleetfoot since they move so fast. Pausing at the right moment reveals she's the blue, white maned Wonderbolt.

* [[Off-Model]]: In a wide shot in "The Best Night Ever", she's missing her tail.

 

=== Rapidfire ===

Another participant in the "Sweet & Elite" race, Fancypants believed he would win, but Fleetfoot beat him and the other Wonderbolts. Unlike Fleetfoot, which one he is isn't entirely clear other than "not Soarin'". it [http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=83737&view=findpost&p=1960624 isn't specified] which one he is but he's most likely the gray one with a white mane who appears at the start of, during and at the finish of the Derby; [[Blooper|at least one other unnamed male Wonderbolt appears in some shots, but not all of them]]

 

=== [[All There in the Script|Breezie]]/[[All There in the Script|Surprise]] ===

 

A white Pegasus mare with a yellow mane. What sets her apart from the other unnamed Wonderbolts is her resemblance to two different out-of-show ponies: [http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--gv0rMPY0o0/T16NUqJMUeI/AAAAAAAAibI/gLA9D84OsX8/s1600/5.jpg Breezie], a [[God-Created Canon Foreigner|toy line exclusive pony]] with a windblown tree cutie mark and green eyes who "loves windy days," and [http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/6947/mylittleponysurprisebyf.jpg Surprise], an [[What Could Have Been|early design of Pinkie Pie]] (based on G1 Surprise) with a three-purple-balloons cutie mark and purple eyes. However, since the show hasn't revealed this Wonderbolt's cutie mark or her eye color, it's unknown whether she really is either of those two ponies. An unnamed toy of her in her Wonderbolts uniform is part of the Miniature Collection [http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=452693148081461 Cloudsdale Set].

* [[Ascended Extra]]: Whether or not she's Breezie, she's still the first Wonderbolt to get a toy.

* [[All There in the Manual]]: If she is Breezie or Surprise, since the show's only revealed her coat and mane colors and her job.

* [[All There in the Script]]: Both of her possible names.

* [[Expy]]: If she is Breezie (who was a G3 pony) or Surprise (who was a G1 pony).

* [[Lawyer-Friendly Cameo]]: If she is Surprise.

 

== Fashion Ponies ==

=== Hoity Toity ===

[[File:Hoity_Toity_KelseySparrow67_7653.png|frame|Who is responsible?!]]

 

Owner of the Best of the Best Boutique in Canterlot, he's looking for the newest fashions for Equestria.

* [[Brutal Honesty]]: He absolutely crushes Rarity during her first fashion show.

* [[Caustic Critic]]: He's appalled by the second batch of dresses Rarity made and makes no secret of it, though Rarity ''herself'' considered them the ugliest dresses she'd ever made and was deeply embarrassed with having to show them to him. He's considerably more positive when convinced to give her original designs a chance however, exuberantly praising Rarity afterwards and placing a rush order for a dozen of each.

 

=== Photo Finish ===

[[File:Photo_Finish_by_ShelltoonTV_1018.png|frame|It is time to make...DE MAGICKS!]]

 

A famous fashion photographer, she had been looking for the next big star in fashion but did she succeed by recruiting Fluttershy?

* [[Cool Shades]]: Never seen without them, much like Hoity Toity, although unlike Hoity, we don't even see her lower them.

* [[Fan Nickname]]: [[Lady Gaga|Pony Gaga]] or something similar since her taste in fashion is reminiscent of a certain singer.

* [[Not So Different]]: Photo Finish is in many ways a [[Character Exaggeration]] of Rarity; she has an even more overt foreign accent, is about 20% hammier and can be just as pushy and absorbed in her work as Rarity. She's even quite taken with Fluttershy, Rarity's closest friend.

* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: She's so full of herself her ego arrives ten seconds before she does.

* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl|White Maned Pretty Filly]]

 

== Others ==

=== Sapphire Shores ===

[[File:Sapphire_Shores_by_ShelltoonTV_3875.png|frame|SENSATIONAL!!!]]

 

The Pony of Pop, Sapphire Shores appeared at Carousel Boutique one day, having read about Rarity's fashion designs. She was so impressed with a [[Gem-Encrusted]] outfit on display that she bought it on the spot and ordered five others similar to it.

* [[Alliterative Name]]

* [[All There in the Manual]]: [http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yu4O2XtIh5M/T16NVeOK3xI/AAAAAAAAibg/T6PL_UXq62I/s1600/8.jpg Her molded toy and collector card] reveal her cutie mark and (in the card's case) the fact that she "is quietly kind."

=== Prince Blueblood ===

[[File:Prince_Blueblood_by_Annakat101_5643.png|frame|Don't be fooled by that look. He's not as charming as you hope.]]

 

Princesses Celestia and Luna's nephew; [[Word of God]] [http://comments.deviantart.com/4/1603670/1932962564 specifies] that he's "the great great great great great great great great great great great (and probably even more greats) nephew on Celestia's and Luna's mother's side, about 52 times removed roughly speaking." A white unicorn with a gold mane, he is Rarity's dream stallion. Rarity falls in love with him at first sight only to find out he's [[Prince Charmless|a self-obsessed jerk]].

* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]]: The way he treats Rarity ''easily'' qualifies him for this.

* [[Blue Blood]]: Probably his only good point.

=== The Mysterious Mare Do Well ===

[[File:Mare_Do_Well_by_vectorvector_3795.png|frame]]

 

The mysterious masked heroine and supposed rival of Rainbow Dash as Ponyville's hero. She is able to stop runaway carriages, predict when danger will occur, patch up dams with her magic and even fly. {{spoiler|It turns out that she's actually Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Twilight and Fluttershy donning a costume designed by Rarity in a ploy to break Rainbow Dash's heroism-inflated ego.}}

* [[The Ace]]: A mysterious super heroine superior to Rainbow Dash and with the super strength of an Earth Pony, the super magic of an Unicorn, the super flight of a Pegasus and the ability to predict the future? Totally a Mary Sue. {{spoiler|Actually she isn't. It was Applejack, Twilight, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie wearing the same costume and taking turns whenever their single abilities would be handy, everyone else just assumed she was just a single super-pony and their awe & hype did the rest.}}

* [[Always Someone Better]]: Fills this role in regards to Rainbow Dash.

=== Fancypants ===

[[File:fancy_pants_by_misterlolrus-d4ihfcc_2695.png|frame|link=http://misterlolrus.deviantart.com/art/Fancy-Pants-272910828]]

 

* [[Blue Blood]]: If not [[Royal Blood]].

* [[Bow Ties Are Cool]]: He wears a rather snazzy one at the party at the end of the episode.

=== Iron Will ===

[[File:iron_will_image_853.png|frame|Iron Will's my name, training ponies is my game!]]

 

A boisterous minotaur who runs a motivational seminar that helps meek ponies like Fluttershy become more assertive. Of course, his lessons aren't free...

* [[Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal]]: He wears a necktie, nose-ring, headset and nothing else.

* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: His self help methods have shades of this.

 

== Historical Figures ==

* [[Alliterative Name]]: Star Swirl the Bearded. Also Clover the Clever, Princess Platinum and Private Pansy if you include titles.

* [[Beleaguered Assistant]]: To say that the assistants were annoyed at the behavior of their leaders would have been an understatement.

 

=== Star Swirl the Bearded ===

 

* [[Badass Beard]]

* [[Canon Immigrant]]: The name anyway.

* [[Cosplay]]: Not he himself, but Twilight dresses as him for Nightmare Night becoming a "[[Wholesome Crossdresser|Cross]]player" by doing so.

* [[Gender Flip]]: The toy Star Swirl has always been female, but the name is being used for a male character in this show.

* [[Bilingual Bonus]] / [[Stealth Pun]]: Star Swirl the Bearded is the master of the amniomorphic spell. Amnio means 'bowl' and morphic means 'form' which makes him a bearded bowl-making spellcaster... a [[Harry Potter|hairy potter]].

 

=== Clover the Clever ===

 

One of the founders of Equestria, Star Swirl the Bearded's protegee and assistant to Princess Platinum. Played by Twilight Sparkle in the Hearth's Warming Eve pageant.

* [[Expy]]/GenderFlip: Possibly of G2's [http://mylittlewiki.org/wiki/Clever_Clover Clever Clover].

** It's not been confirmed as a gender flip since the ''character'' is never addressed by gender in the play and [[Cross-Dressing Voices|girls playing male characters]] happens in real life.

 

=== Princess Platinum ===

 

One of the founders of Equestria and daughter of the Unicorn King. Played by Rarity in the Hearth's Warming Eve pageant.

* [[Ermine Cape Effect]]: If Rarity's costume is any indication.

* [[Everything's Better with Princesses]]

 

=== Commander Hurricane ===

 

One of the founders of Equestria and the leader of the Pegasi. Played by Rainbow Dash in the Hearth's Warming Eve pageant.

* [[Ambiguous Gender]]: Hurricane is referred to as "sir"<ref>Which can be gender neutral in certain situations</ref> multiple times as well as being named a "brute" (an insult which is usually [[Always Male]]) throughout the play but Pansy calls Hurricane "her" multiple times and the role is played by the female Rainbow Dash.

* [[Awesome McCoolname]]

 

=== Private Pansy ===

 

One of the founders of Equestria and subordinate of Commander Hurricane. Played by Fluttershy in the Hearth's Warming Eve pageant.

* [[Fail O'Suckyname]]: Contrasted with her commanding officer's. On its own "Pansy" wouldn't be too bad as a pony name...but "Private Pansy" is possibly the worst name imaginable for a military setting.

* [[Shrinking Violet]]

 

=== Chancellor Puddinghead ===

 

One of the founders of Equestria and leader of the Earth ponies. Played by Pinkie Pie in the Hearth's Warming Eve pageant.

* [[The Caligula]]: A mild example before the Windigos' defeat.

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]

 

=== Smart Cookie ===

 

One of the founders of Equestria and secretary to Chancellor Puddinghead. Played by Applejack in the Hearth's Warming Eve pageant.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]

* [[Honest Advisor]]

=== Daring Do ===

[[File:daring_do_by_boneswolbach-d4ok56h_6230.png|frame|link=http://boneswolbach.deviantart.com/art/Daring-Do-283115321]]

 

An archaeologist pegasus with yellow fur and a grayscale mane who is the heroine of the adventurous tale of ''Daring Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Statue'' as well as many other titles, a series of books anypony can enjoy.

 

* [[Action Girl|Action Mare]]

* [[Adventurer Archaeologist]]: Considering [[Indiana Jones|who]] she's an [[Expy]] of, goes with the territory.

=== Ahuizotl ===

[[File:daring_do__s_nemesis___ahuizotl___by_shadyhorseman-d4ootrq_6138_optimized_6602.png|frame|link=http://shadyhorseman.deviantart.com/art/Daring-Do-s-Nemesis-quot-Ahuizotl-quot-283333814]]

 

A villain based on an [[wikipedia:Ahuizotl (creature)|Ahuizotl]]. He's the big bad of the book ''Daring Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Statue''. And since he's an in-universe fictional character, he's a hilariously cliched and over the top bad guy.

* [[A Dog Named "Dog"|An Ahuizotl Named Ahuizotl]]: They can get away with this since there aren't many others to confuse it with.

* [[Arch Enemy]]: Of Daring Do.

* [[Big Bad]]: Of ''[[Show Within a Show|Daring Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Statue]]''.

* [[Big No]]: Of course he had to release one of these.

* [[Cats Are Mean]]: Has a number of dangerous big cats--and one cute white kitten--as his [[Evil Minions]].

** [[Right-Hand-Cat]]

* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: Plenty of villains have a [[Right-Hand-Cat]], but not many have one [[Ridiculously Cute Critter|so adorable]].
