Spike

Adorkable **Spike** is a character in the "Adorkable Twilight & Friends" series.

## About

Spike lives in Ponyville after being partially raised in Canterlot. He lives with Twilight Sparkle, Starlight Glimmer, and Moondancer. He has many hobbies and likes including his enjoyment of automobiles, video games, and sculpting with glass. He also shares business space with Bon Bon in downtown Ponyville where he gives massages.

## Appearance

Spike is a smaller sized dragon with upward angled scales that run from the top of his, down his back to the tip of his tail. He is drawn with three dragon fingers and three dragon feet toes. His underbelly is softer then around his back and he has three flap like features on both sides of his cheeks. He is a pink color.

## Personality

Spike is often easy going and quite relaxed to most situations. He also has a drive that makes him want to learn. When there is something he wants done, he studies and works hard to get that thing done.

Spike has some child-like tendencies, mainly being naive in certain things. He is shown to be quite trusting in others even if he shouldn't trust them.

Despite the few child-like tendencies, Spike is very mature. He is shown he can handle money properly, make tough decisions and think rationally. He started from scratch to create his own business and worked with others to expand his reach. He is often the voice of reason and can quickly get a gauge on others personalities just by being with them for a short time. He is able to reason with others and really communicate on a personal level with friends.

He has also shown to have a bit of an temper. When something bugs him, his whole mood becomes like that of a rain cloud and he can get quite snappy with others. When he is losing, he often isn't too pleased. He also doesn't like being taunted and has been shown to have somewhat of a conservative mindset and traditional values to things.

Spike is in a loving relationship with Lily Valley. Their relationship is close as they do deeply care for one another.

## Development

Spike's first appearances in the series were more basic, but he still had a close relationship with Twilight. In one episode, "Child Labor," he even asks her if he is nothing more but a glorified slave. At the point shown in this series, Spike's actual work is never truly shown, but soon after he is seen cleaning, cooking, and taking care of Twilight and the whole house. Whether it is by force or of his own choosing was never quite explained right away. Later in the series, he seems to do these things because he truly cares for the others living in the household and he feels it is his responsibility to contribute in his own way.

Spike's original role was simply as a family member or support for Twilight. He would clean and do chores, but as time progressed, so did Spike. He learned he had a talent in massaging others and bringing them peace. He also learned to supplement his massage business through glass art.

## Relationships

Spike has many relationships with family, friends, and acquaintances. For the most part, he is friends or on good terms with everyone.

Still a close friend and confidant to Twilight, Spike can give her emotional support as well as help with her allergies and phobies, and he's very protective of her. Starlight is his best friend and both are generally joking around or passing time together, but whatever their friendship can develop a level above it's still to be seen. Moondancer isn't so close to him as the other two, but they have a good understanding about each other, even helping each other when the situation requires.

Outside the domestic life, Spike have his own circle of friends which include Big Mac, Soarin, Zephyr and, later, Greg. Vinyl also counts, since she's his videogame partner and both enjoy to pass free time playing. After opening his massage house at Bonbon's shop, Spike passes a good amount of time working with her as business partners. And there's his friendship with Lili Valley, to Starlight's displeasure...
