Ever since Spike found that Inspiration Manifestation spell for me, I've just felt so... inspired! No longer will I lie bawling on couches from running out of ideas. Ponyville does seem rather drab, now that I think about it. In need of some light touching-up. And who better to do the job than a mare like me, who can create anything she desires with the flick of a horn? I don't just have to make dresses for my boutique... I can do much, much more! Oh, these hooves of mine were born to design!

Ponyville's Fashionable Designer of Everything

I'm a mint-colored unicorn with a cyan-white mane and sunglow eyes. I live with Bon Bon, and she's pretty cool! Apparently she's also a secret agent who's really called Agent Sweetie Drops and I don't think I was supposed to tell you that so don't tell her that I told you that!! Although playing the lyre is my specialty, I spend my freetime researching "hu-mans", and I think I've got their culture down pretty good. Sure, they've done a bunch of horrific wars and stuff, but no one's perfect!

Ponyville's Not-So-Professional Anthropologist

I live in Maretime Bay with my best friends forever Sunny Starscout, Hitch Trailblazer, Zipp, and Pipp! I used to live in Bridlewood Forest with my fellow unicorns, and I know like everything about the culture there, but ever since reading Sunny's letter, it's almost like fate has brought us together! I'm super energetic about everything, although I can be a liiiittle absentminded, but generally I keep an open mind at anything! I also love arts and crafts. If you've got an idea, I can make it!

I just wanna create stuff for my new best friends!

A thousand years ago, I conquered the Crystal Empire but was stopped in my tracks and banished into the frozen north, but not before cursing my empire to vanish until my return. Now that I have returned, the Crystal Empire is mine again, and so are its subjects. I'll let nopony wrest this kingdom from me, whether that come from Celestia, Luna, or those newfound alicorns Cadance and Twilight Sparkle, nor do I need the assistance of anypony else to maintain my power. Long live the king!

Rightful King of the Crystal Empire

Up until recently I've been focused on my studies as the top student at Twilight Sparkle's School for Gifted Unicorns. Twilight is an excellent mentor and a good confidante, but up until recently I've thought that friendship was a pointless endeavor since they don't usually last very long and I feel I could apply my strengths elsewhere. Still, Twilight has convinced me otherwise, and so I've traveled to Ponyville, where Celestia first sent Twilight, to learn how to make friends with anycreature!

Twilight's student and Ponyville's newest resident

From my humble roots as a baby pegasus, I never imagined my life journey would make me an alicorn and Princess Celestia's adopted niece, Twilight Sparkle's foalsitter, ruler of the Crystal Empire along with my husband Shining Armor, and mother of Flurry Heart. Now that King Sombra is defeated, my job is to protect and listen to my ponies and spread love and compassion. The north can be a cold and harsh place, but my crystal ponies have thrived and learned to appreciate themselves and each other.

Ruler of the Crystal Empire and Princess of Love

Ever since Spike found me many moons ago, I've gotten to know the magic of friendship and now preside over the new changeling hive without Chrysalis. The transition may be tough as we learn to give and accept love, work with ponies who may not accept us, learn pony culture, and not to mention get used to these new colorful bodies, but I'm certain that with time we'll grow to understand ourselves and each other and truly embrace friendship!

Once, I was known as Princess Luna. But, jealous that ponies did not appreciate my beautiful night, I called out to the Nightmare, who promised me power and admiration beyond my wildest dreams, and transformed into Nightmare Moon. As a result, my pathetic sister, Princess Celestia, used the Elements of Harmony to banish me to the moon for a thousand years, where I plotted revenge. Now that I've returned, that whelp is out of my way, and as the sole Equestrian ruler, the night will last forever!

Being Captain of the Wonderbolts is more than just a title. It's my job to keep order among the rest of the fliers, push them to excel, and keep team spirits high. It also gives me both ceremonial and official work, usually weather-related. As the Wonderbolts Academy Drill Sergeant, I separate the wheat from the chaff through weeks of training, tough love, and a lot of shouting. Although I can appear hotheaded and competitive as buck, when I'm out of uniform I'm surprisingly chill to be around.

Yo. I'm Vinyl Scratch, although most ponies know me as DJ Pon-3. You'll usually find me with a pair of headphones over my ears and my trademark sunglasses covering my ruby red eyes! My job is to party hard and keep the club alive with my sick beats, and I'll take about any gig I can get! Octavia Melody, the classical cellist, is my roommate, and sometimes I call her Tavi or Octy. I don't like to speak much unless I have to, so most of the time I'll just nod or give you a hooves up if I approve.

Technically, my full name is Princess Zephyrina Storm... but only Mom gets to call me that. My mom is Queen Haven, and she's the queen of Zephyr Heights. My sister is Pipp Petals, and she's a pretty popular influencer on social media. Currently, I live in Maretime Bay with my friend Sunny Starscout, Izzy Moonbow, Hitch Trailblazer, and Pipp. Unofficially, I do detective work and figure out the mysteries of the Unity Crystals, but officially I'm heir to Mom's throne, although I don't want to be!

I've come a long way since Our Town and dreaming of crushing Twilight Sparkle. Since Twilight took me under her wing, I've worked hard to redeem myself and understand the magic of friendship, and it was the highest honor being made Headmare of the School of Friendship. Now, I spend most of my days studying magic and all the creatures of Equestria with vice-headmaster Sunburst and guidance counselor Trixie. I still may come off as anxious and nervous sometimes, but my confidence has grown a lot!

I'm a tough earth pony and a proud member of the Pie family, along with my Ma and Pa Cloudy Quartz and Igneous Rock Pie, and my younger sisters Maud Pie, Pinkie Pie, and Marble Pie. I've been working the rock farm for as long as I can remember, and now pretty much run the place since Ma and Pa are pretty much retired. While Maud travels the world because of her Rocktorate and Pinkie lives in Ponyville with her friends, Marble is still here and sticks by my side through thick and thin.

As lead patrol of the changeling hive, it is my duty to keep the hive safe from all dangers both inside and out. I'm not much for this mushy love stuff that most of the other changelings seem to have taken up nowadays, but my own love for the hive and my brother, Pharynx, remains strong, even though I still think he could use a little toughening up. I'm glad they accepted me, and I'll do my best to make sure that our new future as a hive is a safe and secure one.

Becoming a full-fledged Wonderbolt was my dream since I was a filly, and I still can't believe it's happened. Not to mention, I'm the Element of Loyalty with a pretty awesome group of friends, and together we've kicked the flanks of tons of bad guys and helped save Equestria. I'm loyal, competitive, confident, unashamed, and have a sky blue coat and rainbow mane and tail. I'll also usually do or say whatever's on my mind. I may laze around sometimes, but if you've got a challenge, bring it on!

Wonderbolt, Element of Loyalty, totally awesome

I rhyme every phrase,
and prefer it stay thataways.

If problems ail you so,
my abode is where you go.

To find me,
tread the Everfree.

But beware,
you must treat the plants with care.

And if you earn their respect,
it's you they'll protect.

If you ask for my aid,
your problems I will help fade.

And maybe if I'm suitably spry,
mix ingredients I shall try,

and brew your problems away.
I am aware what they say,

that I'm a creep,
but change your mind if these benefits you reap?

Potion brewer, rhyme spewer

Yes, I'm real! I'm a cunning, adventurous, and hot-blooded explorer who's devoted my life to exploring the most remote areas of the world in search of the rarest treasures. I'm smart enough to dodge all traps and obstacles in my way, and when my adventure is done, I don my pseudonym, A.K. Yearling, and write all about it for my eager readers. My good friend and biggest fan is Rainbow Dash, who occasionally joins me on my adventures. I'm everything you know about Indiana Jones but better!

I used to be Princess Celestia. Then, I was a fool for welcoming my sister, Luna, after she reformed from being Nightmare Moon. But as time passed and our conflicts grew, I spent many sleepless moons reminiscing of when I had absolute power and the ponies worshipped me alone. With Luna's return and the rise of my student Twilight, I found power slipping out of my hooves. I was weak and pathetic, so when the Nightmare resurfaced and promised me power beyond my wildest dreams, I became Daybreaker.
