History/Key Points:
"The Great and Powerful Trixie" is a talented but egomaniacal magician unicorn who travels from town to town performing an act which consists of telling tall tales, performing magic tricks, and challenging other ponies to prove "anything they can do she can do better." and if she can't she humiliates them for a laugh from the audience at their expense.
When she tried this act in Ponyville however it worked too well. Eager to see her perform amazing magical feats like in her stories, two you colts woke up a massive slumbering bear monster and led it through town to her. When she failed to defeat the creature she was run out of town and from that point on the story of her cowardice spread across the land ruining her reputation and making it impossible for her to make a living.
She took a job at a rock farm to make ends meet until she had enough money to buy a amulet imbued with dark and powerful magic. Using it she returned to ponyville, took it over and ruled the town while slowly slipping into madness. Thankfully she was tricked into losing her amulet by her arch enemy Twilight Sparkle. Apologetic she made amends before leaving the town to seek her fortunes once more.
To show she held no ill will towards Ponyville, when one of Twilight Sparkle's friends became possessed by dark magics and became "Nightmare Rarity" Trixie stood along side Princess Luna and the citizens of Ponyville to defend it from an attack of moon monsters that Nightmare Rarity was commanding. She even offered some encouraging words to Princess Luna when she began to lose hope.
While on the road, a series of misunderstandings led her to temporarily becoming the Queen of Dimondonia, a kingdom ruled by rock dogs. They believed she had the power to find them rare gems, but it was all part of her boasting and fibs. They had her trapped however so she sent a request for help from one of Twilight Sparkles friends Rainbow Dash whom she had previously humiliated and enslaved. Rainbow Dash helped her trick the rock dogs and she was able to escape.
In one final adventure of importance, Trixie was once enlisted by the police force of Manehatten to help capture a notorious thief known as "Rough Diamond." She would use her magical skills to try and trick the thief, however in turn she was tricked and framed for the crimes Rough Diamond committed. She managed to escape the police and dragged along three more of Twilight Sparkles friends, Rarity, Fluttershy and Applejack, as well as Applejack's sister Applebloom and their cousin Babs Seed.
With the help of those girls (Babs Seed especially) Trixie's name was eventually cleared when they discovered and apprehended the true master thief Rough Diamond.
Personality:
Trixie is a unicorn with an incredibly inflated ego. There really is no reason to beat around the bush about that. She is prideful and takes great delight in proving her superiority over others. This can sometimes cause her to behave in a fool hearty or nasty manner, even causing her to compulsively lie and tell stories that are if not entirely made up, then at least altered to make her sound better. She even enjoys slipping into the third person especially on stage.
On the flip side she is constantly stroking her own ego because she is insecure about her magical abilities. While she talks a good game her particular talent is in prestidigitations or "Trick Magic". Simple spells that require little preparation and are mostly used for entertainment purposes. When you live in a world where every unicorn has some magical ability it becomes hard to justify a lifestyle as a traveling stage magician. It's just not as impressive to pull a rabbit out of your hat if you know that magic is an accepted fact of the universe.
On top of those concerns, Trixie is also insecure about her status as a hero and idol to other ponies. Due to the Karma humiliation she received in Ponyville, she obsesses about how she appears to others for fear that she might once again lose the respect of strangers so badly she can never perform for a living again. She has even gone so far as to express doubt in her ability to be a hero when no one trusts or respects her. Thankfully the wise words of the young Babs Seed encouraged her not to give up and to trust that if she makes mistakes she can make amends. Everypony deserves a second chance.
She is also not the brave unicorn sorceress she likes to pretend she is. If her ego has gotten the better of her sure she'll throw herself into trouble, but if faced with conflict or something that scares her she's more likely to run, or try to trick the problem away then face it head on. Her favorite method of escape is to throw down a smoke bomb and try to "Vanish" before the smoke clears. This does not always work.
As for her positive qualities, she does enjoy entertaining others, even if sometimes she's too full of herself to remember it. she can be a diva in her worst moments but in her best moments she relishes the attention and adoration of a crowd and will do her best to keep them laughing and smiling.
She is a highly perceptive pony as well, which comes with her line of work. A keen eye for detail allows her not only to work the audience but create mechanical devices to aid in her tricks such as trap doors, fire work canons, and smoke bombs. She can be creative and hard working when she actually wants something bad enough like to trick a kingdom full of diamond dogs.
Though she can be vain, moody, egotistical, selfish, a braggart, short tempered, paranoid and a coward...Trixie really does have a good heart underneath it all and when pushed to do the right thing she will even if she complains about it along the way. In her own heart and mind she wants to be the hero, and her time spent as a villain has shown her which she prefers. Cheering crowds over fearful subjects.
Gem: A merlinite horn where her unicorn horn should be. Though she will be arriving as a human she will be sporting a shiny black and white Unicorn style horn of Merlinite which is known for it's magical properties as well as the ability to influence recall over past lives. Given that Trixie needs to learn from her past mistakes to become a better role model and friend, I thought this was a good choice.
Power Considerations: Fireworks: The ability to fire off a series of colorful explosions from her horn. Low damage but bright and loud. A good distraction.
Telekinesis: The ability to exert up to twenty five pounds of force on something in a twenty foot radius of herself.
Illusion projection: The ability to produce holographic images from her horn.
Extra: Weapon of choice? Guitar~
