Trixie

Trixie is a unicorn pony and a traveling magician who appears inBoast Busters. She tends to speak in the third person and refers to herself as "The Great and Powerful Trixie". Trixie visitsPonyville with her one-mare show, in which she shows off, extremely exaggerates, and boasts about her abilities. The name Trixie is a diminutive form of Beatrix. She is called Trixie Lulamoon in some merchandise.

Development and designEdit
Lauren Faust stated that the premise of the episode Boast Busters called for a boastful unicorn character, who was originally envisioned as male. Writer Chris Savino came up with the current character of Trixie and her habit of speaking in the third person.[1]

Trixie is one of the few ponies, along with Big Macintosh, Night Mare Moon, Granny Smith, Snips, and Snails, to have a single reflection in her eyes; most ponies have two, while foals have three.

Trixie is one of the few ponies, along with Lyra Heartstrings, to have a unique first name not based on words. Four Trixies, two Bon Bons, two Berry Punches, and two Golden Harvests appear in one shot.Trixie's design and color scheme is used for four background ponies in Bridle Gossip, along with two palette swaps. Another pony with the same design can be seen briefly near the beginning of The Return of Harmony, part 1. Before season two started airing, Jayson Thiessen, one of the show's directors, said that he liked Trixie and could see potential for another story featuring her.[2] ==Depiction in the seriesEdit==

Personality
Trixie first appears in Boast Busters, where she assumes a very theatrical personality and speaks dramatically in the third person, posing and setting off fireworks to complete the effect.
 * "I am The Great and Powerful TRIXIE!"
 * — Trixie

She is set up as the antagonist to the protagonist Twilight Sparkle. Twilight's positive, helpful, and humble attitude is contrasted by Trixie's over-the-top boasting. Trixie claims to have saved Hoofington from an attack by an Ursa Major. However, when confronted by an Ursa Minor, she admits that her tale was fabricated and that even the Ursa Minor was an opponent far too powerful for her to contain. This is the only point in the episode where she drops her "Great and Powerful Trixie" persona and speaks in the first person. Despite this brief display of honesty and fear, her frequent showboating alienates the other ponies and classifies her as an antagonist of the series. Trixie panics confronting the Ursa===History === Was there ever any doubt?In Boast Busters, Trixie arrives inPonyville, having been rumored to be "the most magical unicorn in all ofEquestria". At her show, Trixie boasts constantly about her great magical abilities. She claims to have vanquished an Ursa Major, an enormous celestial bear-like creature that normally could never be defeated by just one pony. Only two ponies, Snips and Snails, openly believe Trixie's claims and proclaim her as the most magical and talented pony ever. Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack take Trixie's challenge to see who is better, only to be humiliated one by one. Twilight Sparkle, who fears that she might lose her friends if she shows off her magic like Trixie, doesn't accept the challenge and runs off. Trixie then proclaims herself victorious, and ends her show.

After the show, Snips and Snails follow Trixie, fawning over her and asking to hear more of her stories until Trixie herself tires of it, and sends them away. Snips refers to her as "The G and PT", shortening her title. Trixie scared.Spike witnesses Snips' and Snails' behavior and is far more skeptical of Trixie's claims, telling them that they should not believe her until she demonstrates a comparable feat in front of them. This leads the pair to seek out an Ursa themselves in the Everfree Forest. They draw the Ursa Minor into Ponyville, believing it to be an Ursa Major, and ask Trixie to use her magic tricks to defeat it. Her stage magic proves useless, and she admits that she can't defeat an Ursa Major and never has, and that she fabricated the whole story to make herself look better. This confession is the only time she uses the first person perspective. Twilight then uses her magic to soothe the Ursa Minor to sleep and gives it a "bottle" of milk constructed from the water tower before sending it back to its cave in the forest.

Trixie is surprised to find out that the monster they faced was actually an Ursa Minor, the baby version of an Ursa Major, who was only cranky after being woken up by Snips and Snails. After the explanation, however, Trixie resumes her arrogance, saying that Twilight will never have the same power as her, and once again proclaims herself "Great and Powerful."

Trixie then uses a smokescreen to poorly conceal her exit from town. After it dissipates, she is seen galloping out of Ponyville. Rainbow Dash starts after Trixie, but Twilight stops her, certain that Trixie will someday learn her lesson about bragging on her own. Trixie before escaping with smokescreenShe is mentioned in Ponyville Confidential as being in the Gabby Gums column of the Foal Free Press which revealed her secrets, but was not elaborated on in the episode.

Trixie appears briefly amongst the crowd at the wedding at the end of A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2. However it's possible this could just be a clone with her color scheme.

Role in the series
like Gilda, Trixie turned around by being involved in the capture of Emperor Fang, Othello, and Nivawk. she was awarded to the shell louge squad as a new member, and under the aprendiseship of Merlin. in the cronitcles series, it's proven that even though reformed, Trixie is still somewhat self-impourent of herself. she seems to pal around to Gilda, even though the griffin somewhat finds her "hard to swallow", understandable because sometimes Trixie gets Gilda into the most dangerious situations.
