Description: There's only one way to say it: Pinkie Pie is a barrel of laughs. With a natural talent for being funny, Pinkie is able to make anypony crack a smile. Despite her seemingly random actions, Pinkie actually knows her comedy inside and out, having studied all kinds of comedy from physical to running jokes. She is also an excellent party planner, going so far as to have a secret party planning cave with files on everypony's likes and dislikes (albeit far less sinister than these files...). Her life goal is simply to make everypony she meets happy. As such, Pinkie makes sure to befriend every resident in Ponyville, throwing them at least five parties in the course of a year whether they ask or not.

Pinkie Pie has so many talents it would be more practical to list the things she can't do. One particular ability of note is Pinkie's "Pinkie Sense". This ability allows Pinkie to sense events in the near future, and comes in forms of little twitches or feelings on parts of her body. Despite my best efforts, I cannot explain this power in any scientifically sound way. I do have a sneaking suspicion that Pinkie sees alot more than she tells us, but that again is unconfirmed scientifically. She did once mention to me that while she can't see the direct future, she doesn't see existence the same way everypony else does. Before I could get any further explanation, Pinkie went back to her usual random self. Speaking of Pinkie's randomness, I have no idea why but she can seemingly pull random objects like her party cannon out of nowhere. I guess I'm just glad Pinkie is my friend and not my enemy... I shudder at the thought.

Possible Counters: However if Pinkie does turn against Equestria, here are some things to keep in mind. Because of Pinkie's foresight and ability to seemingly defy the laws of physics on a daily basis, the success of a direct attack is highly improbable. It is also important to note that despite Pinkie's carefree nature, she is highly intelligent and can probably anticipate any tricks or traps.

Though Pinkie possesses many powerful strengths, she is still a pony. Which means she has the same weakness everypony has... emotion. On an everyday basis, Pinkie Pie has a veneer of playfulness complimented with an extremely extroverted personality. However we got to take a deeper look at Pinkie's emotional state after she thought we abandoned her and no longer wanted to be her friends. Rather than finding a constructive outlet or new friends, Pinkie sank into a deep depression and began using hallucinating that inanimate objects were her friends. I believe this happened because Pinkie Pie bases her entire purpose on making ponies happy, and without any friends to make happy, she felt her life was meaningless.

Therefore, if Pinkie Pie were made to believe that she made other ponies unhappy in an extreme way, she would simply lose the will to fight and be easily contained. One possibility to achieve this would be to magically fake a fight between two ponies Pinkie cares deeply about, and have them blame her in the end. Another advantage to this method is that Pinkie isn't very good at dealing with serious situations, so this might throw her off from seeing through the magic.
