VitalSpark 1,830 November 29, 2014 Share November 29, 2014 No offence Trixie lovers, but she's not that great. The most impressive magic she did was create a cloud. Yes, that is impressive, but she is NOT even close to Twilight's level. In Magic Duel she performs very little magic without the assistance of the Alicorn Amulet. But in Boast Busters she does actually perform some pretty impressive magic. No, she's nowhere near as powerful as Twilight Sparkle, but that's a tough standard to expect anybody to match up to. I'm fond of Trixie as a character because I think her need to prove herself shows a certain underlying vulnerability and uncertainty of her self-worth. She seems to have a much less one-dimensional personality than most of the background characters. And she's cute! 1 ~VitalSpark~ [fimfiction] [deviantart] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoaringSun 25 November 29, 2014 Share November 29, 2014 i love trixie i even got her 12" vinyl fig. but she is not really a back ground pony,she plays a bigger part. i think in S:5 she will have a bigger roll then ever. https://www.tsu.co/RainbowDashFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco before Pommel 678 November 29, 2014 Share November 29, 2014 Pretty much what everypony else (who is pro-Trixie) in this thread has been saying...I can't speak for every single fan, obviously, but personally, I like Trixie because she's an entertaining antagonist/rival to Twilight (but it's a kind of one-sided rivalry, where Twilight couldn't care less about Trixie whereas Trixie is pretty obsessed with proving she's as good as/better than Twilight, which for me makes for an even more interesting dynamic), but also not straight-up evil - as others have pointed out, she showed some genuine remorse for what she did under the Alicorn Amulet's influence, which suggests she doesn't want to actively *hurt* other ponies, she's mostly just very selfish/self-obsessed and desperate for attention - and that makes her a fascinating character to me. I like thinking about her motivations, what drives her to do the things she does, and the little possible hints of backstory the show gives us - how did she end up a travelling magician? what might have happened at the rock farm (possibly even Pinkie's)? What's she going to do post-Magic Duel? She's just a character with tons of potential and interesting possibilities to me - she has plenty of personality in the show that makes her entertaining, but there's also lots of room for speculation and different interpretations of her character too, which I enjoy. I guess a lot of why I like her so much is headcanon-y (she comes off as very insecure to me because of how hard she took the events of Boast Busters, and it makes me wonder if anypony's ever given her the attention she craves so desperately, or why she feels she has to prove she's better than everypony else all the time, and yeah I could probably go on but won't ) and won't work or be obvious to everyone - I totally understand why Trixie isn't everypony's cup of tea, and yeah, of course it can be annoying when a character you don't like becomes popular. But still, I think it's not too hard to see why she's a fan favourite just going by the formula of "entertaining antagonist" + "rivalry with main character" + "possible future redemption arc" + "cute/pretty character design". 1 wonderful signature by Blue Moon & Wheatley! | cosplay | deviantart | fimfiction | johari window | pm me for 3DS friend code, or just to talk/make friends/whatever! <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visual Spectrum 1,932 November 29, 2014 Share November 29, 2014 Trixie's magic is more at the level of Rarity's if one were to strip the crowd cheers. Rarity can make appear to be there when they're not (Hoity Toity clearly saw the stuff we saw in the second fashion show in Suited For Succeed. His reactions showed that he did.) She can makes a dress in seconds, she can find gems, she may not be able to create a cloud (except in one episode), and she may not be able to make someone look ugly, but she can make someone look fabulous, and she can find gems. Yes, Trixie has done impressive magic, but so did Rarity. Trixie shows off her magic which makes her only appear to be very gifted in magic, but in reality, she's basically at Rarity's level, not Twilight's. Am I saying Rarity has better magic than Trixie? No. I'm saying Trixie is closer to Rarity's level. 1 Applejack Fan Club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vertigo_95 572 November 30, 2014 Share November 30, 2014 I love Trixie because she has potential. They gave her a sudden change of character at the end of Magic Duel, sorta hinting at a return. Other reasons is because I think her color scheme is brilliant, and she is cute. Here is a little justification 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nila Bean 133 November 30, 2014 Share November 30, 2014 They can relate to her somehow... She's personally not a favorite of mine, but I think characters that talk in third person are amusing. Maybe because she seems like she can amount up to Twilight's magical ability, but I seriously doubt that she ever will... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunas Husband 2,777 November 30, 2014 Share November 30, 2014 Whats not to like??? She beautiful, she's good with magic, she got a sweet ass cape and hat, she talks in the 3rd person! My Sister in law she's just great! Top of all that I just love chicks/guys like that...... its odd but I do. "Does not matter what they say, my sweet love!

user1342342 143 November 30, 2014 Share November 30, 2014 (edited) Why do I like Trixie? She isn't that bad, and there's plenty of room for her character to develop. She also has my favorite design on the show along with Twilight. Trixie's magic is more at the level of Rarity's if one were to strip the crowd cheers. Rarity can make appear to be there when they're not (Hoity Toity clearly saw the stuff we saw in the second fashion show in Suited For Succeed. His reactions showed that he did.)

No. I'm saying Trixie is closer to Rarity's level. Rarity hasn't really done anything that puts her above the average unicorn in terms of magical ability. Her talent lies within creating things, and she doesn't use any impressive spells to do that. Trixie isn't super powerful, but it was said that she went to the school for gifted unicorns, and her career is basically showing off her magic.

They call me Loyalty 1,948 November 30, 2014 Share November 30, 2014 Trixie suffers from a superiority complex. Lack of development within Heart. Probably lacking Maternal interaction(Mother and child) within her family.Fluttershy has an inferiority complex. Lack of development within Ego. Paternal interaction(Father and child) may be lacking within the family. Mostly family-related problems. I do like Trixie, but it's out of pity, more than anything else.

sweetolebob18 728 November 30, 2014 Share November 30, 2014 Everybody keeps saying "Oh, Trixie reformed?" WHY? Because she said so? Basically, she said "Oh, it wasn't me that did these terrible things, it was that bad old amulet. It made do it & now I'm sorry, forgive me." So, let me get this straight. You were just walking down the street & the bad old amulet jumped out of an alley, grabbed you by the throat, & made you do horrible things? Things that you never even imagined doing to Twilight because you were too busy helping the poor & studying for your novitiate? That's your story, is it? You're sorry, are you? You're sorry you got caught, THAT'S what you're sorry about. Prisons are full of folks every bit as sorry as you are & prison is where you belong. For robbing that shopkeeper, if nothing else. (And why, exactly, did he have that amulet in the 1st place?) Now, maybe I'm wrong (God knows, it won't be the 1st time). But, let's see you act sorry, not just say you're sorry & then we'll talk forgiveness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicHooves 2,705 December 1, 2014 Author Share December 1, 2014 Just a quick update to everyone on this post. This is an old post so keep in mind, my opinions have changed about Trixie. A couple months ago Trixie became one of my favorite characters on the show and she has been to this very day. So just to let you all know, I do not dislike Trixie. K?

cider float 2,537 September 10, 2015 Share September 10, 2015 It's probably because of her color scheme and her voice. Her color scheme I find nauseating though because it's blue with light blue. Why do people like redundant color schemes? I have to question color schemes of similar ponies like Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infernus 1,205 September 11, 2015 Share September 11, 2015 I find her character very entertaining. I mean, I always get excited when she is in the episode because I know I'm so going to laugh this time.
