What Are The Characters of My Little Pony?

Twilight Sparkle is an alicorn (originally a unicorn)[8] with a light violet body and a dark blue mane and tail with a violet and bright pink streak. She is the main protagonist of the series. She is the younger sister of Shining Armor and sister-in-law to Princess Cadance. She is the protégée of Princess Celestia and often writes letters to her. Twilight is well-organized, studies extensively and has magical powers obtained from her horn. As the "Princess of Friendship", she represents the Element of Magic and her goal is to spread the magic of friendship all over Equestria. Because she considered studying to be more important than friendship, Princess Celestia sends her to the town of Ponyville to learn the importance of friendship accompanied by her assistant, Spike.[9] After staying in Ponyville for a while she decides to stay there and study friendship with her mentor's blessings. She later gains a pet horned owl named Owlowiscious.[10]

Applejack is an earth pony with a orange body and a yellow-blonde mane and tail, and almost always can be seen wearing a tan cowboy hat. She speaks with a Southern American accent. Applejack is very kind, helpful and reliable, but tends to act stubbornly and lets her pride and her sense of tradition get the better of her. Applejack comes from a large family; all with apple-related names spread all over Equestria, who oversee apple orchards and run a group of businesses that sell apples and products made from them. She works in her farm called Sweet Apple Acres, where she lives with her younger sister Apple Bloom, her older brother Big McIntosh and their grandmother Granny Smith. Applejack is very hard-working and has demonstrated her strength and dexterity on many occasions, and she is also very skilled with a lasso. She represents the Element of Honesty. She has a pet Border Collie named Winona.[13] When she was younger, she wanted to be more like her sophisticated aunt and uncle, and left Sweet Apple Acres to live with them in the city of Manehattan. However, she soon became unhappy and homesick; when she realized where she was meant to be, she eagerly returned home and earned her cutie mark.[14]

Rarity is a unicorn with a white body and a violet mane and tail with a purple inner. She affects a Mid-Atlantic accent. She is a professional fashion designer and seamstress at her own dressmaking shop, the Carousel Boutique. She is very stylish and beautiful, wears make-up and false eyelashes, takes great interest in fashion and clothing design as an artist and small business owner, and often tries to make herself the center of attention. She considers herself a proper lady, often acting in a sophisticated manner. Rarity is Sweetie Belle's older sister and often takes care of her when her parents are away. She represents the Element of Generosity and has a Persian cat named Opalescence.[15] Despite her being a talented dressmaker, her special talent is finding gems using her horn, for which she earned her cutie mark in the episode "The Cutie Mark Chronicles".

Pinkie Pie is a earth pony with a light pink body and a dark pink mane and tail. She is a baker, connoisseur, and confectioner at the Sugarcube Corner, with the behavior of eating sweets, and a professional party planner. Pinkie represents the Element of Laughter. She is hyperactive, random, a bit sensitive (and occasionally insensitive) and quite silly, but is also friendly and very kind but loves to pull pranks and tricks on her friends—just for fun. She enjoys singing and often suddenly breaks into song. She is a prankster, sometimes with Rainbow Dash's help, though she refuses to play any on Fluttershy due to her sensitive nature. She has been known to break the fourth wall and possesses the "Pinkie Sense", an ability to predict events in the immediate future through twitches of various body parts. When she becomes depressed, her mane changes from curly to straight and her pink coloration loses its brightness.[16] In addition, any breach of a "Pinkie Promise" agreed to by a friend to her will send her into a furious rage. She has a toothless pet baby alligator named Gummy. When Pinkie was young, she was raised on a rock farm and she learned to feel happiness and smile after seeing Rainbow Dash's Sonic Rainboom and earns her cutie mark.[14]

Rainbow Dash is a pegasus with a sky-blue body and a rainbow-striped mane and tail. She represents the Element of Loyalty and is brave, bold, and a tomboy, but has several hidden fears in herself that she cannot handle. Though she often appears a bit lightheaded, she still has a kind heart and is there for her friends when they need her. She originally considered reading to be for "eggheads" until Twilight introduced her to the "Daring Do" novel series. This sparked a keen literary interest.[17] She works with the other pegasi to move clouds to control the weather. Her lifelong dream is to join the Wonderbolts, Equestria's aerobatic flight team and was accepted into their training academy and selected as cadet team leader,[18] and later a member of the reserves. She also serves as a trainer and player for the Equestria Games shown in "Flight to the Finish" and "Rainbow Falls". Rainbow Dash's signature move is the Sonic Rainboom, in which she flies fast enough to break the sound barrier, creating a sonic boom with a rainbow-hued shock wave. In "The Cutie Mark Chronicles" she earns her cutie mark by successfully performing the sonic rainboom for the first time in a race for Fluttershy's honor. Later in the same episode her sonic rainboom sets in motion a chain of events that allowed the other five main characters to earn their cutie marks as well.[14] She has a pet tortoise named Tank. Rainbow Dash is admired by a filly named Scootaloo and developes a closer, sister-like relationship to her throughout the series.

Fluttershy is a pegasus with a yellow body and a light pink mane and tail. She speaks in a quiet, soft voice. She is sweet, cute, gentle and kind, and is often very shy and timid around others. However, she can become forceful and assertive if her friends are placed in danger (but can often be afraid of some causes). Fluttershy loves and cares for all animals and is willing to help them at any cost, but is very fearful of many things. Although she is a pegasus, she prefers to stay close to the ground, living in a cottage near the Everfree Forest instead of the sky city of Cloudsdale with the other pegasi. She has a pet [white rabbit named Angel. She possesses a special ability known as the Stare, which allows her to intimidate the fiercest animals to the point of complete and total obedience. She has used this ability on several occasions against threatening creatures. Sometimes she is shown to have a good knowledge of sewing and fashion and has the most beautiful singing voice, but she suffers from stage fright. As a filly she was weak and when she fell from Cloudsdale she was saved by a group of butterflies. She then learned that she could communicate with animals, earning her cutie mark.[14] Fluttershy represents the Element of Kindness.

Spike, a small, purple baby dragon with green spikes, is Twilight's assistant and roommate.[19]

Spike notes several times that he is highly fond of Twilight, whom he has assisted and lived with his whole life. He also handles communications between Twilight and Celestia, burning Twilight's written messages with his fiery breath as a way to transport the letters to send them and then belches up the scrolls Celestia sends back.

He can always be counted on to help Twilight and her friends when they need him. Spike has a crush on Rarity. In the Season 2 episode "Secret of my Excess" he admits his crush to her which she accepts.[20] Twilight hatched Spike from an egg as part of an admission exam for a school of magic run by Celestia, gaining her cutie mark and a chance to study under Celestia's direct guidance.[14] In "Dragon Quest", after an incident with mature dragons, he adopts a baby phoenix as a pet and names it Peewee whom he eventually returns to its parents.[21] Spike is genuinely concerned about his friends' well-being. He is regarded as a national hero for saving the Crystal Empire.

Princess Celestia is the ruler of Equestria alongside her younger sister Princess Luna. Princess Celestia is a white alicorn who controls the rising and setting of the sun alongside Luna who helps her to rise and set the moon. For a millennium, she also controlled the moon while her sister was banished. Princess Celestia is usually very kind, patient and understanding. She wishes for her subjects to relax and be themselves around her, despite her status. She is also sometimes somewhat mischievous, such as inviting certain guests to formal events she considers boring such as the Grand Galloping Gala, knowing they will likely disrupt it. She has a pet phoenix named Philomena, appearing in "A Bird in the Hoof". Celestia is taller than all other ponies in the show.[22] Celestia often refers to Twilight Sparkle as her "most faithful student".

Princess Luna is the co-ruler of Equestria alongside her older sister Princess Celestia. Princess Luna is a navy blue alicorn and speaks with a mild English accent. As the Princess of the Night, she possesses the ability to enter ponies' dreams and help them face their fears. She raised and lowered the moon each night, but she became jealous of Celestia because the ponies slept through the night and thus did not appreciate her work. This jealousy eventually transformed Luna into Nightmare Moon. Celestia banished Nightmare Moon to the moon after she tried to bring eternal night to the world. When Nightmare Moon escaped her imprisonment on the moon she returned to Equestria where the Mane Six use the Elements of Harmony to transform her back into Luna whereupon she resumed her place at Celestia's side. In addition, Luna has strove to rebuild her public image and has succeeded in part due to her new role as guardian of her subjects' dreams, allowing her to assist her subjects when they are having nightmares. She has a pet opossum named Tiberius, appearing in several of the official comics. She also is very kind and believes in doing what is right towards her subjects.

Princess Mi Amore Cadenza is the "Princess of Love" and co-ruler of the Crystal Empire. She is a light pink alicorn (previously a pegasus) who is the adopted niece of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna and wife to Twilight's older brother Shining Armor. She was Twilight's foalsitter when she was younger and remembers that time fondly. Cadance is depicted as adventurous, graceful, kind spirit with selfless nature and a born leader. She has the ability to spread love and reduce anger among ponies through her magic. After helping to save the Crystal Empire, Cadance takes her place as "The Crystal Princess", having attained characteristics of crystal ponies.[23] The novel Twilight Sparkle and the Crystal Heart Spell, explains her backstory: she was originally a pegasus orphan who saved an Earth Pony village from a villain named "Prismia". After doing this, she meets Princess Celestia who adopts Cadance as her niece and makes her an alicorn.
