 == Tropes shared by all three Crusaders ==
 * [[Aesop Amnesia]]: While "Call of the Cutie" appears to be about learning to let nature take its course instead of trying to rush into a cutie mark, they still form the Cutie Mark Crusaders at the end in order to keep searching for their special talents. [[Justified Trope]] by the fact they're only children and the school bullies are highly unlikely to back off after being  {{spoiler|upstaged at their own party}}.
 ** Deliberately invoked in "Show Stoppers" after the Cutie Mark Crusaders' embarrassing rock ballad performance at the talent show wins an award...[[Medal of Dishonor|for comedy]].
 {{quote|'''Sweetie Belle:''' Well...maybe we were trying ''too'' hard.
 '''Twilight:''' Yes? And?

 ** Twist had such an epiphany and admitted she was clueless about her talent beforehand, so there's hope for the Crusaders. Plus, there is the fact that cutie marks are an absolute certainty in-universe.
 * [[Power Trio]]: in many ways.
 ** [[Beauty, Brains, and Brawn]]: Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo respectively.
 ** [[Comic Trio]]: Scootaloo suggests something dangerous or silly, Apple Bloom goes along with it and Sweetie Belle won't complain loud enough to avoid getting dragged along. [[Downplayed]], as Apple Bloom isn't stupid; she's just game for anything.
 ** [[Freudian Trio]]: Scootaloo is the id, Apple Bloom is the ego, and Sweetie Belle is the superego.

 * [[Rule of Three]]: This is followed in multiple ways. Aside from being a trio of three different types of ponies (an Earth Pony, a Pegasus and a unicorn), they also all have three syllables in their names (A-pple Bloom, Scoo-ta-loo and Swee-tie Belle).
 * [[Shipper on Deck]]: In "Hearts and Hooves Day", they ship [[The Big Guy|Big Mac]]/[[Schoolmarm|Cheerilee]].
 * [[True Companions]]: Like the Mane Cast, they've got a very close and strong bond of friendship between them.
 * [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Apple Bloom and Scootaloo. Sweetie Belle is really only a part of this when the entire group fights with each other.
 * [[What the Hell, Hero?|What The Tartarus, Fillies]]: ''Hearts and Hooves Day'', ''Ponyville Confidential''

 * [[Big Brother Worship|Big Sister Worship]]: She greatly admires Applejack and eagerly declares her the coolest pony in Ponyville when asked.
 * [[Closeup on Head]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Azz-6oT08c BUT I WANT IT NOW!], just 100% more adorable.
 * [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]: Her mane is red and her body is yellow [[Meaningful Name|just like an apple which is red outside and yellow inside.]]
 * [[Dawson Casting]]: Averted! [http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=187576124623301 As it turns out], Michelle is actually in the target demographic of the show.
 * [[Dish Dash]]: Apple Bloom became capable of both versions of the trope during her bout of Cutie Pox, the spinning on a stick and the catching/juggling of multiple dishes. Turns out to be part of the effects of Cutie Pox.
 * [[Expy]]: Semi-averted. Lauren designed Apple Bloom for the show's "pitch bible" in 2008. But her colors were shared by one G1 Pony and two G3 Ponies.
 ** Also implied that her talent is Art, Carpentry and Design. Much like the G3/3.5 Toola-Roola.
 ** Her red hair, pink bow, and status as leader of a group of three girls makes her very similar to Blossom from ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]''. It helps that [[Lauren Faust]] actually worked on both of these shows.
 *** Apple BLOOM -> BLOOM = Blossom
 * [[Expressive Accessory]]: The bow in her mane droops when Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon make fun of her in "Call of the Cutie".

 * [[Green Eyes]]: Very light green eyes.
 * [[The Heart]]: After all, it was her idea to find a special somepony for her teacher Cheerilee.
 * [[I Have No Son|I Have No Sister]]: She pretty much ''disowns'' Rarity after their unfortunate day in "Sisterhooves Social". [[Disproportionate Retribution|Harsh]].
 * [[Lethal Chef]]: She has to serve her toast in a bowl and even managed to [[Epic Fail|burn]] ''[[Beyond the Impossible|juice]]''.
 ** Though she apparently gets better by the end of ''Sisterhooves Social''...at least for cooking. Cleanliness...not so much.

 * [[Naughty Is Good]]: Season 2 has been turning Sweetie Belle into a well-intentioned, yet mischievous filly.
 * [[Nice Girl]]: ''Most'' of the time.
-* [[Non Standard Character Design]]: Most unicorn fillies have ovoid eyes (like adult ponies do) but Sweetie Belle has circular eyes (like Pegasus and Earth Pony fillies do). Most stock art (such as [http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=218497894834322 this Easter piece]) gives her ovoid eyes though.

 * [[Only Sane Man|Only Sane Pony]]: She sometimes takes this role.
 * [[Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping]]: Inverted. Her singing voice is done by Apple Bloom's voice actress and it's very obvious due to the Southern twang her voice inexplicably gets when she sings.
