** In "The Cutie Mark Chronicles", Scootaloo has [[Comically Missing the Point|this gem of a line]]:
{{quote|'''Scootaloo:''' Ugh! These namby-pamby stories aren't getting us ''any'' closer to finding our cutie marks! They're all about 'finding who you really are' and '''boring''' stuff like that!}}
** Rather cleverly subverted in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2 E6/E06 The Cutie Pox|The Cutie Pox]]". They run off to earn their Cutie Marks five seconds after learning a lesson about good things coming to those who wait, but the lesson was about not trying to take a dishonest shortcut to force something you're not patient enough to wait for. So what would normally count as this trope actually reinforces the aesop of earning their Cutie Marks the honest way.
* [[Badass Adorable]]: At times. All other times they have to settle with just being adorable.
* [[Badass Damsel|Badass Damsels]]: Every so often.
Line 45:
* [[Determinator]]: They '''are''' going to find their cutie marks and '''nothing's''' going to stop them.
* [[Deuteragonist|Deuteragonists]]: Considering how much focus is put on them, they collectively form the deuteragonist cast of the show with the Mane Cast as the protagonist cast.
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: The three were first seen together in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it shot in [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 E1/E01 Mare in Thethe Moon|"Friendship Is Magic, Part 1" ("Mare in the Moon")]].
* [[Expy]]: Of The [[Powerpuff Girls|Power Puff Girls]]. Apple Bloom, the leader and [[Smart Guy|Smart Girl]], is Blossom; Scootaloo, the tomboyish [[Action Girl]], is Buttercup; Sweetie Belle, the adorable [[The Ditz|ditzy one]], is Bubbles.
* [[Failure Is the Only Option]]: Everything the Crusaders try to do to get a cutie mark fails. It would certainly be extremely surprising to see them succeeding in the course of the series...especially since Hasbro wants the episodes to be viewable in any order.
Line 68:
** [[Token Trio]]: Since they represent the three different races of ponies - Sweetie Belle is a unicorn, Apple Bloom is an earth pony and Scootaloo is a pegasus.
** [[Town Girls]]: Sweetie Belle is the femme, Apple Bloom is the neutral one, and Scootaloo is the butch.
* [[Promotion to Opening Titles]]: As of the second opening (introduced in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2 E3/E03 Lesson Zero|Lesson Zero]]").
<!-- %% Red Oni Blue Oni is only for pairings. It works for the mane cast because the members regularly find themselves in one-on-one situations. -->
* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter|Ridiculously Cute Critters]]: Their cuteness is even remarked upon by the, already cute, adult ponies.

Line 110:
* [[Lethal Chef]]: Her attempts at making cupcakes wind up...less than sweet.
** Averted in "Family Appreciation Day" when she helps Granny Smith make some of the best Zap Apple jam in recent history.
* [[Massive -Numbered Siblings|Massive Numbered Cousins]]
* [[Motor Mouth]]
* [[Only Sane Man|Only Sane Pony]]: Takes over this role in "Bridle Gossip" when in the end even Twilight starts believing Zecora is evil.
Line 122:
* [[Wise Beyond Their Years]]: She's pretty smart for such a young filly.
* [[Working Class People Are Morons]]: Averted...at least in that she's shown to be the smartest of the group. Despite her age, she can occasionally force Applejack to resort to the "because I said so" argument and runs rings around Scootaloo on several occasions. She even manages to see past the superstition surrounding Zecora when nobody, not even the Mane Six, can.
* [[Wrench Wench]]: "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 /E18 The Show Stoppers|The Show Stoppers]]" implies that her talent lies in construction and design. At the very least, she was able to make Applejack's ugly old tree-house habitable.

Line 156:
* [[Hero Worshipper]]: Towards Rainbow Dash.
** Shown to be the president of Ponyville's Rainbow Dash Fan Club among the other fillies.
* [[Hollywood Tone Deaf]]: averted in [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 /E18 The Show Stoppers|The Show Stoppers]] - her singing in the talent show isn't that bad, she's just off key, as any untrained or untalented singer would be.
* [[The Lancer]]: Usually, but she is headstrong enough to be [[The Leader]] at times.
* [[Little Miss Badass]]: Whether it's doing extreme stunts at high speed on her scooter or zip-lining through the treetops, Scootaloo will be first in line whenever the Crusaders do anything athletic, physical, or endangering to life and limb.
