I feel it’s time to bring up the topic of weather or not evil tyrant Trixie would be out of character. I’ve heard a bunch of bronies say that Trixie would never be evil or how she just wants love et cetera, et cetera. While I understand the possibility that she might actually be redeemed, I also find the idea that she’d never do anything bad or evil ridiculous. In the one episode she was in she did nothing but insult the other ponies and prove that she has a serious superiority complex. Twilight, in saving the town, crushed Trixie’s reputation and, likely enough, her sense of self worth. Therefore it’s not unlikely that Trixie sees the only obstacle between her and her previous sense of self is Twilight. Once Twilight is knocked down a peg, Trixie will cease to have any doubts in her own talents (a feeling she probably never had before Twilight showed her up).

As an example how a rivalry can push a person (or unicorn) off the deep end look at the current wars between Edison and Tesla. As a campaign against the use of Tesla’s AC currents Edison started publicly electrocuting animals to death (stray cats, horses, an elephant, etc.), just as a dig against Tesla.

I swear, if people chant “out of character” when the Trixie episode comes out I’ll flip.
