[[File:MLP-mane-six_8143.jpg|frame]]

The [[Fan Nickname|Mane Six]]. These are our heroines. From trying to get along at a slumber party to [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|defeating]] [[Physical God|Physical Gods]] of darkness and chaos, these girls overcome just about any obstacle with the [[Power of Friendship|Magic of their Friendship]]. They're cute. They're awesome. They're the embodiment of the Elements of Harmony and they're here to Love & Tolerate the crap out of you.

** Rainbow Dash is this in [[Hero Worshipper|Scootaloo's]] eyes although this is also averted by [[Word of God]] who says that she probably wouldn't be the best big sister in the world.

*** She does get moments of this towards Fluttershy in later episodes however.

* [[Cool Pet]]: All of the main characters have one. [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Characters/Animal Companions|See here for info on them]].

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: They all have their moments of this with Twilight Sparkle being the most prominent.

** And has an even more ''psychotic'' one over the course of "Lesson Zero".

* [[Hidden Depths]]: Despite her history of not socializing by choice, she reveals in "Look Before You Sleep" that she's dreamed about throwing the perfect slumber party and is innocently enthusiastic about getting the chance to try her very first one. This being Twilight, she even has a guide to ensure she does everything by the book.

* [[Humble Hero|Humble Heroine]]: Wants nothing to do with being associated with the greatness of her deeds. Rather she wants to be viewed as an ordinary unicorn unlike her [[Shadow Archetype]] [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Characters/Antagonists|Trixie]].

** This also makes her a great [[Foil]] to Rainbow Dash.

* [["Well Done, Son" Guy|"Well Done, Student" Girl]]: Her relationship with Princess Celestia has some definite shades of this. Twilight obviously idolizes Celestia and desperately seeks her approval though Celestia's approval is not nearly as conditional as Twilight thinks it is.

* [[When She Smiles]]: Double Subverted, as Twilight ''does'' smile a decent amount, but when she's genuinely happy it really stands out.

* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: If ''Winter Wrap-up'' is anything to go by, she is terrified of snakes.

* [[Wise Beyond Their Years]]: Well...she's a young adult but she has been shown to be much more effective at leading than the elderly mayor of Ponyville.

** She's also an expy of the G3 and G3.5 Rainbow Dash (who by the way was a plain and girly Earth Pony).

** Rainbow Dash is also the Mane Character with the most obvious parallel among the [[Powerpuff Girls]] (her fellow tomboy [[Cute Bruiser|Buttercup]]).

* [[Face Palm|Facehoof]]: Has over time become a signature move of Rainbow Dash. Mostly directed at Fluttershy or Rarity.

* [[Failure Is the Only Option]]: No matter what impossible feats of aerial speed or agility she accomplishes, no matter how many members she meets and befriends and no matter how many times she helps save the world, Rainbow Dash will never achieve her stated ultimate goal of joining the Wonderbolts...at least not in any meaningful fashion as doing so would preclude her from being able to adventure around with the other Mane Cast members on a regular basis.

{{quote|'''Rarity''': '''ALRIGHT I ADMIT IT! I WEAR FALSE EYELASHES!!''' {{spoiler|.... oh and I also took a bite of the cake.}}}}

* [[Light Feminine and Dark Feminine]]: Being vain (though not quite as much so as she seems), Rarity represents the "dark" half in comparison to Fluttershy.

* [[Master of Illusion]]: Of a mundane sort. She creates some fairly impressive special effects for her second fashion show in "Suited for Success".

* [[Married to the Job]]
