Line 32:
* [[Nice Guy|Nice Ponies]]: They are superfamous celebrities, but they keep a humble attitude and are openly friendly towards their fans; in fact, they were pretty much the '''only''' nice ponies around during "The Best Night Ever".
** Besides Rarity, they were the only guests who didn't think they were too good for Applejack's apple treats.
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: The Wonderbolts resemble the [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Angels:Blue Angels|US Navy Blue Angels]] in colour scheme, profession and flying style while their name recalls the [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Air_Force_Thunderbirds: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.
* [[OC Stand In]]: It's starting to become a trend on [[Tumblr]] to start blogs for the [[No Name Given|unnamed]] Wonderbolts. They're pretty much on the same level as most background ponies...perhaps even lower since they show up less than say [[Fan Nickname|Derpy or Lyra]] and even their cutie marks are a mystery but they still receive [[Fanon]]. Of course, the yellow-maned white Wonderbolt also has her possible identity as Surprise or Breezie to draw from (though she's generally only been portrayed as Surprise).
Line 60:
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: Despite her name and appearance, Spitfire actually averts this trope quite nicely.
* [[Flaming Hair|Flaming Mane]]: Spitfire's mane and tail resemble blazing flames.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: She is named after the [[WW 2]]-era [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermarine_Spitfire:Supermarine Spitfire|Supermarine Spitfire]] Fighter Plane (perhaps the most iconic plane of the whole war).
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Despite her appearance, she's the Blue to Soarin's Red.
* [[She's a Man In Japan|She's A Stallion In Poland]]: Possibly in the Polish dub. She has a male voice in both "Sonic Rainboom" and "The Best Night Ever", but it might just be an extreme case of [[Cross -Dressing Voices]].

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.
Line 142:
* [[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.
* [[Funny Foreigner]]: Speaks with a German accent. Either it's a [[Shout -Out]] to [[The Incredibles|Edna Mode]] or maybe Karl Lagerfeld's accent that Hoity Toity didn't have was transferred to her.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Completely understands that Fluttershy's [[Moe]] appeal will win the crowds.
* [[Large Ham]]
Line 165:
 
 
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]]
Line 239:
* [[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.
* [[High -Class Glass]]: And he adjusts it with his unicorn magic.
* [[Nice Guy|Nice Pony]]: Unlike most high society ponies, he was actually quite nice to Rarity the whole time and even complimented the simple dress she made for Twilight.
* [[Non-Indicative Name]]: He doesn't even wear pants let alone a fancy pair...
Line 245:
*** And he actually is wearing pants...it's just that they only cover his forelegs.
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]
* [[Sharp -Dressed Man|Sharp Dressed Stallion]]
* [[Uncle Pennybags]]: He finds the Mane 6 not named Rarity "charmingly rustic", and he's pretty humble otherwise.
* [[Visual Pun]]: His cutie mark is three crowns, referencing Triple Crown horse racing among other classy things.
Line 269:
* [[Hidden Depths]]: At first glance, he looks like an abusive jerk trying to scam people with a fake self-help seminar. Turns out he's surprisingly well-behaved, emphatic and a bull of honor, plus his seminar ''truly'' worked, the only problem is that it worked ''too'' well. Even when he's struggling with Rarity and Pinkie Pie, he only used a fraction of his strength and he politely knocks at Fluttershy's door instead of smashing it as the audience is lead to believe he's going to do.
* [[Hoist By His Own Petard]]: If he didn't include the 100% satisfaction or your money back guarantee, he would have been within his rights to demand payment.
* [[Hot -Blooded]]
* [[Insistent Terminology]]: He's not a monster. He's a Minotaur. Notably, he isn't the one to insist on the terminology--of the three times it comes up, Fluttershy corrects the others when he isn't around, and when Rarity does say it to his face she corrects herself.
* [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]]: While he was a bit forceful on getting Fluttershy to pay up, he's reasonable enough to stick by his [[Exact Words]]. He even plans on using his encounter with Fluttershy as an inspiration for his next seminar.
Line 275:
* [[Large Ham]]: He practically flexes in some way every time he talks.
* [[A Load of Bull]]: A minotaur.
* [[Mix -and -Match Critters]]: [[Classical Mythology|Traditionally]], the [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/:Minotaur |Minotaur]] (literally, "''the bull of [King] [[Ancient Greece|Minos]]''") is a creature (unique, not a species, much like the original Pegasus) with the head of a bull and the body of a man, or at least somehow part man and part bull. Iron Will fits the first description down to the waist, below which he has hooves and a bull's tail, not uncommon in modern renditions of minotaurs. With a bipedal posture and one-third human body, or at the very least human hands and arms if that's interpreted as an upright bull's torso, he's the closest thing to a human the series has seen so far.
* [[Mooks]]: Not the evil types. He has goats that serve as his equipment crew and security.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Some fans actually find him attractive.
Line 285:
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: That's a cute little shopping basket he's got there.
* [[Shadow Archetype]]: A positive example for Fluttershy. He's much more assertive and gregarious than the meek, introverted pegasus.
* [[Shout -Out]]: Iron Will shares his name with [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Will:Iron Will|a different Iron Will]]. He also [[Mr. T|pities the fool]] who doubts his methods.
* [[Starfish Language]]: Speaks fluent ''goat''.
* [[Stealth Pun]]: He's a minotaur who endorses becoming a bully to earn respect.
Line 332:
 
* [[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.
* [[Magic Knight]]
* [[The Magnificent]]
Line 359:
* [[Bad Boss]]: To Private Pansy.
* [[General Ripper]]
* [[Hot -Blooded]]
* [[Jerkass]]
** [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]]: After the Windigos' defeat.

A villain based on an [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahuizotl_: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.
