Friendship is Magic characters appear in numerous spin-off franchise media, including a, a, a children's book series, a, and a spin-off film series titled, where several Friendship is Magic characters are re-envisioned as humans in a setting. Contents.Creation and conceptionHasbro initially hired Faust to create a for the show, allowing her to get additional help with conceptualization. Faust said she was 'extremely skeptical' about taking the job at first because she had always found shows based on girls' toys to be boring and unrelatable. She was disappointed that what she thought of the toys at the time was nothing like the animated shows, in which the characters, according to her, 'had endless tea parties, giggled over nothing and defeated villains by either sharing with them or crying'. With the chance to work on My Little Pony, one of her favorite childhood toys, she hoped to prove that 'cartoons for girls don't have to be a puddle of smooshy, cutesy-wootsy, goody-two-shoeness'. To do this, she incorporated many elements into the show that subverted stereotypes of girls, such as diverse personalities, and, the message that friends can be different and can get into arguments but still be friends, and the idea that girls should not be limited by what others say they can or can not do. Elements of the characters' personalities and the show's settings were based on her own childhood imagination of the ponies' adventures, in part inspired by the animated shows that her brothers would watch while growing up, such as.

Faust still aimed for the characters to be 'relatable' characters, using stereotypical 'icons of girliness' to broaden the appeal of the characters for the young female audience. Main characters Mane SixMy Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic focuses on six core pony characters, identified as the 'Mane Six', a group of friends who are brought together by the 'Elements of Harmony', a set of six mystical jewels and an 'unstoppable force of good' used to defend Equestria against powerful threats. A seventh main character, Spike, acts as foil to the Mane Six in terms of personality.Each pony character was designed to represent a different element and positive aspect of friendship—honesty (Applejack), kindness (Fluttershy), laughter (Pinkie Pie), generosity (Rarity), and loyalty (Rainbow Dash)—which come together to form the sixth element of 'magic' (Twilight Sparkle).

Her cutie mark represents her talent for and love for; the five smaller stars indicates that her destiny is intertwined with her friends. Twilight is depicted in the first three seasons as a purple unicorn with a pink-streaked indigo mane, and as a called an 'alicorn' after the season three finale 'Magical Mystery Cure'.

Twilight is the most intellectual member of the Mane Six who leads them during their adventures and helps resolve her friends' differences.Twilight's most defining character trait is her humility. She is a natural-born leader, an intelligent and dutiful scholar, wise beyond her years, with an avid love of learning and discoveries. Her skills in magic rival that of Star Swirl the Bearded, having already mastered various advanced spells before her ascension to alicornhood. Director Jayson Thiessen describes her as 'kind of a ' who has 'a touch ', prone to suffering from when confronted with insurmountable problems or concepts that go against her understanding, though she gradually overcomes this habit in the final season.Twilight begins the story as the of Princess Celestia, who tasks her with studying the magical properties of friendship and reporting her findings.

Twilight detests her assignment in the two-part series premiere, owing her to her obsession with books, but comes to form strong friendships with the rest of the Mane Six, which she realizes is key to harnessing the Elements of Harmony. She resides with her assistant Spike and pet owl Owlowiscious in Ponyville's Golden Oak Library, where she also serves as town librarian. Her apprenticeship to Celestia ends in ' when she reverses an ancient spell by creating new magic based on her studies of friendship, transforms into an, and is crowned a princess.

Later in season nine, she steps down from the position and appoints Starlight Glimmer as her replacement; in the series finale, Princesses Celestia and Luna retire and crown her the new ruler of Equestria.Aspects and forms. Twilight Sparkle (Sci-Twi) is the human counterpart of Princess Twilight and a student of Canterlot High School.

Human Twilight's design differs slightly from her pony counterpart: she wears thick black glasses, her hair is tied up into a bun, and the pink highlight in her hair is wider than the pink highlight in pony Twilight's mane.Like her pony counterpart, human Twilight is educated and exhibits logical problem-solving, having in elementary school, and is the youngest student at her school. She holds a great interest in knowledge and science, being able to create intricate scientific devices and solve complex mathematical equations, and her intellect rivals that of Sunset Shimmer. Unlike her pony counterpart, human Twilight is a ', acting very nervous and shy around others, especially the uptight students of Crystal Prep.

Her evil alter ego, Midnight Sparkle, first appears in; she haunts her in her nightmares and gives her severe anxiety of her previous actions in. However, with the help of her friends, she is able to overcome her fear of Midnight Sparkle and gain control of her magic. Spike. Voiced bySpike is a purple baby with green spines who is based on the 'G1' and 'G3' character of the same name.

Spike was orphaned as an egg and hatched by a young Twilight Sparkle as part of her entrance exam for Celestia's academy; he is raised among Twilight's family as her adopted younger brother. Spike fulfills the role of Twilight's 'number one assistant' to which he is named so for his loyalty and skill at helping Twilight solve problems and learn lessons. He is also described as having a crush on Rarity, an insatiable appetite for sparkly gems, and the ability to send letters via his fiery dragon breath. He gains wings in the season eight episode 'Molt Down'. Author Begin calls Spike a to the Mane Six in terms of personality, size and shape which 'provides plenty of opportunity for exploring this difference in storylines'. He adopts a newborn named Peewee in 'Dragon Quest' and returned Peewee to his family in 'Just for Sidekicks'. Faust envisioned the character as 'the sensitive little boy who has a lot of sisters and just seems to get along better with girls'.

On Spike's role as a dragon outsider living among ponies, Meghan McCarthy says, 'He's trying to figure out who he is. What beyond being Twilight's assistant is his role in this world? I think he really reflects how everybody feels at some point in their life'. Applejack.

Voiced byApplejack is an orange, blonde-haired earth pony based on the 'G1' character of the same name. Her cutie mark, a trio of apples, represents her talent for and love for her family. She is characterized as a 'farm gal' who sports a cowboy hat and lasso and speaks with a. She works as an at the Sweet Apple Acres in Ponyville, using her strength to 'buck' apples out of trees. She lives with her grandmother Granny Smith, older brother Big McIntosh, younger sister Apple Bloom, and pet Winona.

According to Faust, Applejack's parents – Bright Mac (voiced by Bill Newton) and Pear Butter (voiced by ), first seen in 'The Perfect Pear' – are deceased. Applejack is honest, courageous, forthright and the most 'down-to-earth' of the Mane Six; being a trustworthy friend who is and has good judgement.

She is also 'too eager to please' and has a stubborn persona, with several episodes focused on her interaction with the Flim-Flam Brothers who exploit her vulnerabilities, or focusing on her taking up a 'herculean task'. Author Begin says that her apple-themed cutie mark 'not only represents her name but also is a symbol of the down-home simplicity found in a classic and common fruit'. When asked if Applejack and Rainbow Dash were romantically involved in the future setting of 'The Last Problem', series supervisor Jim Miller replied 'It’s up to the individual viewer to decide what those two are to each other.' Rainbow Dash. Voiced byRainbow Dash is a blue, pegasus with a rainbow-colored mane and tail who is based on the 'G1' Firefly toy and shares her name with the 'G3' earth pony.

Her cutie mark, a rainbow-colored lightning bolt, represents her and obsession with speed and adventure. Her goal at the beginning of the series is to join her 'heroes', the elite Wonderbolts aerobatic team, which she accomplishes in 'Newbie Dash'. She helps other pegasi manage the weather around Ponyville and spends her time practicing flight maneuvers such as the 'Sonic Rainboom', a rainbow-hued; it is shown in ' that Rainbow Dash's first Sonic Rainboom as a filly caused a chain of events that produced the Mane Six's cutie marks. She lives with a propeller-fitted pet named Tank in a floating of clouds called the Cloudominium, which is sparingly seen in the show because she 'doesn't sit still for very long', according to director Jim Miller.

Faust struggled to find a suitable aspect for Rainbow Dash's Element of Harmony, seeing the character as 'self-absorbed and rather irresponsible'. She eventually settled on the Element of Loyalty because it 'brought out Rainbow Dash's positive traits'. When asked if Applejack and Rainbow Dash were romantically involved in the future setting of 'The Last Problem', series supervisor Jim Miller replied 'It’s up to the individual viewer to decide what those two are to each other.' Pinkie Pie. Voiced by, singing voice byPinkie Pie (fully named Pinkamena Diane Pie) is a pink earth pony based on the 'G3' toy of the same name. Her character, summarized as 'a frenetic sugar rush', was inspired by the 'G1' pegasus toy Surprise. Her cutie mark, a trio of balloons, represents her talent for spreading hope and joy, and her desire to entertain her friends.

She is a at Sugarcube Corner, a and that resembles a, and owns a toothless pet named Gummy. A character who was raised on a 'dreary rock farm', Pinkie is defined as a 'hard worker' motivated in seeing people she loves smile and relieving them of stress, by randomly throwing parties and acting as outlandish as possible; but has a lack of confidence and a fear of being rejected by others. Pinkie is a source of much of the series' humor, and several of the show's 'wacky gags' are kept exclusive to her ( include breaking the and 'appearing suddenly in ', as well as an ability to through various body reactions, which she calls the 'Pinkie Sense'). While Pinkie appears to be the party animal of the group, she also displays admirable skill in science and engineering. In 'Swarm of the Century', she devised a technical solution to Ponyville's infestation problems in a scenario where magic had failed, and built a flying machine to keep up with Rainbow Dash in the episode 'Griffon the Brush Off'.In early episodes, Faust worked to depict Pinkie as a 'free spirit' to address concerns of the character being seen as too 'hyper' and 'ditzy'. As the creative team grew more comfortable with Pinkie's character and humor, she became 'really over-the-top strange and bordering on crazy, with a wacky cartoonish magic all her own'.

Throughout the show, depending on the episode or scene, Pinkie's friends alternate between disliking and enjoying her company, both ignoring her when she tries to speak to them but doing things with her such as pulling pranks or playing buckball. In the future setting of 'The Last Problem', Pinkie is shown to be married to Cheese Sandwich with a child named Li'l Cheese.Rarity. Voiced by, singing voice byRarity is a white unicorn with a curled violet mane who was based on the 'G1' ponies Glory and Sparkler and named after the 'G3' pony Rarity. Her cutie mark, a trio of diamonds, represents her talent for prospecting gemstones and her love of art and beauty. She is a ladylike and who speaks with a and runs a franchise of throughout Equestria; she operates out of a salon in Ponyville called Carousel Boutique. Despite her arrogant and melodramatic tendencies, she has a generous spirit and strives to create dresses that capture their wearers' inner beauty.

She owns a pet named Opalescence who is commonly nicknamed Opal and has a younger sister named Sweetie Belle. Faust's original idea for Rarity's Element of Harmony was 'inspiration', but it was changed to 'generosity' after the production team deemed the former 'too much of a thinker, especially for kids'. Faust was pleased with the change, saying it 'really helped pull Rarity away from the stereotypical, unlikable '.

She cites as her biggest influence for Rarity, and also says that Tabitha St. Germain's 'added a humor to Rarity that was unexpected and wonderful'. Fluttershy. Voiced byFluttershy is a yellow pink-maned pegasus based on the 'G1' earth pony Posey.

Her cutie mark, a trio of butterflies, represents her love of and talent as an. True to her name, she is defined by her 'shy sweetness; soft, whispery voice; and tender, nurturing nature', as described by author Begin. She possesses a unique affinity for animals that allows her to communicate with them. She lives in a secluded meadow cottage in Ponyville where she cares for forest creatures such as her 'conniving and willful' pet Angel Bunny.

In many episodes, Fluttershy exhibits a tough personality that emerges whenever a friend or animal is harmed, in contrast to her normally timid and mild-mannered self. Her most prominent ability, 'the Stare', causes any creature that meets her gaze to become 'powerless and moved to meekness' while it's in effect. Faust enjoyed writing for Fluttershy the most out of the show's characters due to her 'relatable' struggles with fear, which Faust says brings potential 'not just for great storytelling but also for great filmmaking'. When asked if Fluttershy and Discord were romantically involved in the future setting of 'The Last Problem', Jim Miller replied that it was 'Open to interpretation.' Recurring characters Royal FamilyThe Royal Family are the highest-ranking ponies in the Equestrian nation. The novel Twilight Sparkle and the Crystal Heart Spell establishes that the Alicorn Princesses are 'a special breed of pony able to harness the magical powers of the Unicorns, the flight abilities of the Pegasi, and the strength of a good, true heart of an Earth Pony'.

Faust states that Celestia 'embodies the traits of all three kinds of ponies'.Princess Celestia. Voiced byPrincess Celestia, based on the 'G1' unicorn Majesty, is a white alicorn with a flowing, multicolored mane and tail and Equestria's benevolent ruler.

As detailed in The Journal of the Two Sisters, Celestia is the eldest of the two Royal Sisters, the longest-lived and longest-reigning Equestrian monarch—older than anyone would dare guess—acting as head ruler of Equestria for over one thousand years due to the timeless aging of alicorns. Additionally, she is responsible for the raising and lowering the sun, working in tandem with her sister Luna to ensure a night and day cycle. She is perhaps the most beloved creature in the world, being a staunch proponent for international peace, kindness and cooperation. Very little of her past before Celestia's victory over Discord is known, except that she and Luna discovered the Elements of Harmony. With these artifacts and their bearers, Princess Celestia has secured millennia-long, relative peace for a nation.Celestia's status as an alicorn is seen as a symbol of harmony between unicorns, pegasi and earth ponies.

She is responsible for magically raising the sun each day from her castle in Canterlot and lowering it to make way for the night; she also acts as a mentor and, as described by Faust, 'a bit of a surrogate parent' to Twilight Sparkle, guiding her throughout the first three seasons to her eventual destiny as a princess of Equestria. She owns a mischievous pet named Philomena, who appears to be a 'squawking old bird' before bursting into flames and renewing herself. Faust's original concept for Celestia was a queen rather than a princess, but she was changed into a princess because Hasbro thought that 'girls assume that Queens are evil. and Princesses are good', and that 'the perceived youth of a Princess is preferable to consumers'. Princess Luna.

Voiced by, singing voice by (') and Aloma Steele (' onwards)Princess Luna is a dark blue alicorn and Princess Celestia's younger sister, designed and developed. She serves as co-ruler of Equestria alongside Celestia, using her magic to maintain the and safeguard her subjects' dreams during nighttime. Luna is introduced in the series' pilot as Nightmare Moon, a malevolent black mare who was transformed by bitterness and jealousy towards her sister; as expounded in the, her alter ego is a creation of the Nightmare Forces, a dark lunar miasma that preys on Luna's insecurities to convince her to become their host.

Banished to the moon by Celestia in the series' past, Nightmare Moon returns from a thousand-year exile to create eternal night. The Mane Six use the Elements of Harmony to purify and reform Luna, who reconciles with her sister and resumes her royal duties.

Several episodes depict Luna's 'difficulty living in her older sister's shadow', such as adapting to modern Equestrian customs and repairing her public image. Outside the television series, Luna owns a pet named Tiberius that appears in several comics and chapter books.Princess Cadance, Shining Armor and Flurry Heart. This section needs expansion.

You can help. ( April 2019). Voiced by (Princess Cadance); (Shining Armor); (Flurry Heart)Princess Cadance (full name Mi Amore Cadenza) and Prince Shining Armor are Twilight Sparkle's older sister-in-law and brother, respectively, who debuted in '. Cadance is Celestia's adopted niece and Twilight's childhood; according to the chapter book Twilight Sparkle and the Crystal Heart Spell, she was a pegasus who became an alicorn after reversing an evil sorceress's love-stealing spell. She married Shining Armor, the captain of Canterlot's royal guard who has a close relationship with his sister and is nicknamed her 'Big Brother Best Friend Forever' (B.B.B.F.F.). In the, Celestia appoints Shining Armor and Cadance to rule the Crystal Empire, inhabited by Crystal Ponies who spread hope and love across Equestria.

In the season six premiere 'The Crystalling', Cadance gives birth to an alicorn filly named Flurry Heart. Celestia and Luna both stated that 'the birth of an alicorn, is something Equestria has never seen', and that it was 'even beyond their understanding'.Cutie Mark CrusadersThe Cutie Mark Crusaders are a trio of fillies bonded by their desire to earn their 'cutie marks', symbols that appear on a pony's flank once they discover their special talents in life. They are each depicted as younger sibling figures to the main cast except Scootaloo. Several episodes of the series focus on the Crusaders' misadventures in trying to earn their marks in 'the most unorthodox and sometimes less-than-productive ways'. This goal is achieved in 'Crusaders of the Lost Mark', where the members gain similarly-themed cutie marks when they recognize their true purpose in life is helping other ponies discover or interpret their own cutie marks. In season eight, they begin mentoring and tutoring the students of the School of Friendship.

Apple Bloom (voiced by ) – A yellow earth pony filly with a red mane and a pink mane bow, and is named for being 'full of potential' and having 'a lot of growing to do'. She is the sassy younger sister of Applejack and Big McIntosh who formulates and spearheads most of the Cutie Mark Crusaders' 'missions'. Scootaloo (voiced by Madeleine Peters) – An orange pegasus filly with a purple mane, based on the 'G3' pony of the same name. She suffers from an inability to fly, and instead uses her wings to propel her specially fashioned scooter. She idolizes Rainbow Dash as an older sister figure, is president of the 'Wonderbolt Dash' fanclub, and often tries to imitate Rainbow Dash's attitude and athletic skill; Rainbow Dash loves and mentors Scootaloo, calling her the 'most awesome kid sister ever'. Scootaloo lives with her Aunt Holiday and Auntie Lofty (voiced by Jackie Blackmore and respectively), whom Michael Vogel confirmed to be a married couple. Sweetie Belle (voiced by, singing voice for seasons 1–3 by Michelle Creber) – A 'sweet-natured and sometimes spacey' white unicorn filly with a white coat and a lavender and pink-striped mane, based on the 'G3' pony of the same name.

She has 'a blossoming talent for singing', and strives to become a fashion designer and gain the approval of her older sister Rarity.Honorary membersIn addition to the main trio, there are others who are accepted into the Cutie Mark Crusaders across the series:. Babs Seed (voiced by Brynna Drummond) – A dark orange earth pony filly and 'tough-talkin' Apple cousin from Manehattan', debuting in 'One Bad Apple'. The character was created as a 'blank flank' bully of the Cutie Mark Crusaders 'whose behavior was the result of an insecurity that the Crusaders could relate to and ultimately help her overcome'. She joins the Crusaders and forms her own branch of the club in Manehattan because, according to McCarthy, 'We've got our three Crusaders in Ponyville and didn't want to add a permanent fourth'. Babs earns her cutie mark as a hairstylist in the season five episode 'Bloom & Gloom'. Gabby (voiced by ) – A friendly and enthusiastic female featured in the show's sixth season.

Introduced as a social outcast from the griffon city of Griffonstone, she joins the Crusaders at the end of her debut episode, 'The Fault in Our Cutie Marks', following her failed attempts to obtain her own cutie mark.Friends and allies Discord. Actor (pictured at, 2012) voices Discord, a character based on his television role as from. Voiced byDiscord is the spirit of chaos and disharmony who first appeared in '. Primarily characterized as a nonsensical, he is a 'draconequus' (, from the Latin words meaning 'dragon' and 'horse'), a serpentine being with a pony's head and numerous different animal parts. Celestia and Luna opposed him in the past for tormenting ponies with his reality-bending powers and he similarly faces the Mane Six during the premiere; both times, the ponies use the Elements of Harmony to turn him into stone.

In the season three episode 'Keep Calm and Flutter On', Discord is released once again from his stone imprisonment by the Mane Six under Celestia's orders to change for the better, which succeeds after Fluttershy befriends him. Following this, he appears in subsequent episodes as a reluctant ally of the Mane Six, occasionally still causing mischief whilst struggling to become a better friend to them. When asked if Fluttershy and Discord were romantically involved in the future setting of 'The Last Problem', Jim Miller replied that it was 'Open to interpretation'.Faust based Discord's character on, an omnipotent trickster played by John de Lancie in.

The production team considered casting a soundalike of de Lancie to voice the character, and were surprised to learn that de Lancie himself was available. The creative team developed Discord as 'the one character who could break all of the rules of the show', by making him put more modernized or contemporary pop culture references than usual in the series' 'fantasy storybook' setting. He was not intended to have a recurring role; according to McCarthy, 'reforming' him allows us to tell new stories with his character. He gets to be the not-always-reliable ally instead of the known enemy'. Author Begin commented on the 'chaotic' settings that accompany the character, such as his home dimension called Chaosville, likening them to 'dream-inspired paintings'. Big McIntosh. This section needs expansion.

You can help. ( March 2019). Voiced byGranny Smith is an elderly earth pony who is the paternal grandmother of Applejack, Apple Bloom, and Big McIntosh. She is depicted as a 'wise matriarch' who has sharp wit and a 'fuzzy' memory, and stated to be one of Ponyville's first settlers. Starlight Glimmer. Voiced byStarlight Glimmer is a unicorn who debuted in '.

Initially appearing as a 'perfectly pleasant-looking unicorn', Starlight is a sinister figure who wishes to build a 'perfectly equal society' by magically removing other ponies' cutie marks because she believed that differing degrees of ability cause disharmony between friends. This stemmed from her anger at her childhood friend Sunburst after he earned his cutie mark before her. She later appears in 'The Cutie Re-Mark' to take revenge against the Mane Six by and preventing their friendship before it starts by stopping Rainbow Dash from performing the Sonic Rainboom. After realizing the catastrophic changes this causes in the present, Starlight is convinced to change her ways and make new friends. She appears in season six as Twilight's pupil, a role she graduates from in 'Celestial Advice'. Twilight appoints her as guidance counselor for the School of Friendship in season eight, then promotes her to headmare in season nine.

According to Miller, Starlight's design was chosen to parallel her role as a 'proto-Twilight character'. Her original name during production was 'Aurora Glimmer', which was changed due to the 's trademark of the name '. Young SixThe 'Young Six' are six adolescent creatures who attend the School of Friendship run by the Mane Six. They consist of:. Smolder (voiced by ), a cocky and competitive dragon. She was initially resistant to the idea of friendship, until she gets to know her new friends, and gotten to secretly like cute things, like dresses, makeup, and tea parties.

Ocellus (voiced by ), a timid and studious changeling who has the ability to change her appearance into that of other creatures, much like the other changelings. Silverstream (voiced by Lauren Jackson), Queen Novo's hyperactive niece who can alternate between the forms of a and a. She is similar to her cousin, Princess Skystar, in terms of personality, and has shown interest over the littlest things like stairs and indoor plumbing. Yona (voiced by Katrina Salisbury), a friendly and clumsy. Yona is shown to be excitable, but she has her own vulnerabilities.

Being a yak, Yona is one of the strongest members of the Young Six, often using her strength to help out. In the show's final episode, an older Yona is seen running Carousel Boutique alongside Sandbar. Gallus (voiced by Gavin Langelo), a sarcastic griffon. Initially unfriendly toward others, Gallus becomes more friendly and warm, while maintaining his sarcastic personality. He is revealed to be claustrophobic, and is actually an orphan. Sandbar (voiced by ), a laid-back earth pony. He usually serves as 'straight man' to counterbalance his friends' more eccentric personalities.Other characters by regionMost recurring characters established within the fictional universe of the television show are expanded and more prominent in the comics, presented with complex, multi-issue story arcs.

The comics provide stories based on the established fictional universe of the television show; the comic faithfully follows the show canon, but the show doesn't technically follow comic canon. Though the comic, like the show, is aimed at young children, the writers and artists have consistently taken creative risks, including expanding Sombra's backstory, introducing Scootaloo's aunts as a married couple, and more.
