Tragic backkstory? No way! Trixie is Trixie!

I don't particularly like making this argument but: she DIDN'T humiliate all of Ponyville, she humiliated three ponies specifically - and at their expense, the rest of Ponyville laughed and had a good time in general. Isn't that what a showpony is supposed to do? Give a crowd a good time? Of course, humiliating ponies probably isn't the best way to do it, but it's her way of doing it, regardless. Also, you have to remember that the three ponies that got humiliated as they did were only humiliated because, well, they chose to be. Trixie was taunting the crowd, of course, so it's only natural to want to show her a thing or two - now they know that messing with a showpony, regardless of how great or powerful they really are, generally isn't the best idea, unless you don't mind getting humiliated =P.

Can she be considered a nice pony for making Ponyville laugh and enjoy themselves? I suppose so, but I really don't think she was doing it solely for that purpose. Can she be considered mean for humiliating three ponies in front of the entire Ponyville population? Some would say yes; personally I would say otherwise. What other choice did she have? Let them show her up? I don't think that'd make for too great of a show.

Personally I hope she comes back as the same Trixie we all know and love (we all love her, right?) in season 3.

Trixie is a flawed pony, just like the rest of them, and just like the rest of them, she's not really 'mean' or 'nice'.

More importantly, though, Trixie is best pony.
