### Type of AB

Mischievous Anarchist

**Discord** is a major character, as well as the central antagonist of *My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic*. He appears as the main antagonist of the Season 2 premiere "Return of Harmony" and the Season 3 episode "Keep Calm and Flutter On", the secondary antagonist of the Season 4 finale "Twilight's Kingdom", a minor antagonist in the Season 5 finale "Cutie-Remark", a major character in Seasons 6-8, and the overarching protagonist of Season 9. He is also the main antagonist of the 2022 Generation 5 comic series.

He is the Spirit of Chaos who seeked to caused havoc in Equestria thousands of years ago, before he was imprisoned by Celestia and Luna. After that, he was released from his prison, he once again began his chaotic reign of terror before being imprisoned once again by the Mane Six. He was then released by them so they could reform them, which took some time. Unfortunately, he was tempted back into villainy by Lord Tirek, who he helped steal magic from the ponies of Equestria until he was betrayed and then redeemed himself. He then decided to bring back Tirek, Queen Chrysalis, Cozy Glow and King Sombra in order to indirectly encourage Twilight to become a brave and noble princess, which ultimately backfired. He is Celestia and Luna's former arch-nemesis, Fluttershy's best friend and presumed love interest, and the archenemy of Tirek.

He was voiced by John de Lancie.

## His Brilliance and Evil Rankings

### What Makes Him Amazing?

* After Tirek betrays him, he fully redeems himself and starts a genuine friendship with the Mane Six.
* He is almost never taken seriously and is played for laughs in almost all his appearances.
* He is On and Off, doing multiple heroic and villainous deeds throughout the series for both the show and the comics.
* As the Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony, the trouble he causes can partly be explained as due to his very nature rather than just because. He is shown to disappear from existence, if he completely stops being chaotic.
* His terrible actions are sometimes shown as be done out of a desire to help in his own way, from being misguided on friendship or from simply not thinking things through rather than malicious intent.
* He feels remorse for his actions multiple times, such as realizing what he did when he brought back Tirek, Chrysalis and Cozy Glow to attack Twilight and helped the Mane Six stop them in the final battle, even imprisoning them the same way he was. He also showed some sadness when Tirek started absorbing magic from the Mane Six.
* He genuinely cares for Fluttershy, with this being the reason why he was able to be redeemed himself and later convinced that magic was a threat after Queen Opaline shoved her.

### What Makes Him Heinous?

* He turned Equestria into a chaotic wasteland and continued to spread chaos until he was imprisoned by Celestia and Luna. While his intention wasn't exactly to hurt people, he still showed no remorse for the destruction he caused.
* Before his was imprisoned, he planted the Plunderseeds, which would later grow into dangerous plants that threatened to destroy Equestria and imprison Celestia and Luna in the Tree of Harmony a thousand years later. To make it worse, when the Mane Six confront him for this, he takes no responsibility for what he did and chooses not to help them fix the problem he caused.
* After being released from his imprisonment, he steals the Elements of Harmony and taunted Celestial and the Mane Six about it so that they wouldn't imprison him again.
* During a maze challenge he forces the Mane Six to do, he turns them into the exact opposite of what they represent to ensure that they can't stop him.
* He once again turns Equestria into a chaotic realm, resulting in several casulties.
* He turns a squirrel, a bunny, and a group of beavers into wild and savage animals, who would later go on to flood Sweet Apple Acres, and while he did change the squirrel and the bunny back to normal, it was only because the Mane Six threatened to turn him back into stone.
* He ruins Princess Cadance's visit to Ponyville by pretending to be sick and forcing them to take care of him just so he can see if Twilight was still his friend.
* He reverts back to his old evil ways and helps Tirek absorb magic from all of Equestria, betraying his friends despite everything they did together.
* Even after redeeming himself, he still continues to be quite inconsiderate and obnoxious, which is proved when he convinces the Mane Six not to invite Twilight to their hangover.
* He tries to send Tree Hugger to another dimension after he becomes jealous that Fluttershy hung out with her more than him, and when the Smooze starts causing trouble at the gala, Discord doesn't care and at one point, he uses him to immobilize the Mane Six so that they can't stop him.
* When Spike and Big Mac start making fun of him, Discord traps Big Mac in a giant bubble until he stops laughing, forces him and Spike to have fun his way, and then transports them inside the game Ogres and Oubliettes, forcing them to fight enemies that could've seriously hurt them.
* He tricks the Mane Six into going on a friendship quest that wasn't real and uses this as an advantage to cause trouble at the School of Friendship by hiding an Ursa Major in Trixie's hat, putting the students through rough classes, and terrorizing them when they to a scavenger hunt.
* He brings together Tirek, Chrysalis, Cozy Glow and Sombra under the disguise of Grogar in order to have them attack Twilight to encourage her that she has what it takes to rule Equestria, making him responsible for everything they did throughout Season 9.
* He unintentionally ruins Big Mac's proposal to Sugar Belle by having an apple monster say a poem about what Big Mac was going to say.
* After Queen Opaline had caused racial tendencies by shoving Fluttershy, he ultimately decides to destroy the Unity Crystals after he believes that magic is a threat to Equestria, though he managed to redeem himself from his extemism after Izzy shows him Fluttershy's video message.
