The Great and Powerful Trixie (officially called Trixie Lulamoon) is a fictional character who appears in the fourth incarnation of Hasbro's My Little Pony toyline and media franchise, beginning with My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (2010–2019). She is voiced by Kathleen Barr.^[1]

Trixie is depicted as a boastful and showboating anthropomorphic unicorn magician who travels throughout Equestria performing magic shows.^[2] Initially introduced as an antagonist,^[3] her character evolved over the series to become an ally and eventually a close friend of Starlight Glimmer.^[4][5][6] She is often seen wearing a large purple hat and cloak.^[7][8]

A boastful unicorn magician who exaggerates her magical abilities, Trixie refers to herself in the third person, calling herself "The Great and Powerful Trixie". She makes appearances in the show and various spin-offs,^[9] beginning as a rival to Twilight in "Boast Busters", but becomes more apologetic after seeing the error of her vengefulness in "Magic Duel".^[10] She makes recurring appearances starting from "No Second Prances", when she befriends Starlight. Later, in "A Horse Shoe-In", she becomes the School of Friendship's new guidance counselor.

In the first film, Trixie is seen getting peanut butter crackers from the school's vending machine and makes several background cameos. In the second film, she appears as the secondary antagonist and is the leader of her own band, the Illusions. She—like most of the school—becomes overly competitive while under the Dazzlings' spell when the showcase is turned into a competition. Her band makes it to the semi-finals and becomes angered when she loses to the Rainbooms despite the ladder not finishing their song. She is convinced by the Dazzlings to stop the Rainbooms from performing by trapping them under the stage. With the Rainbooms apparently forfeiting, Trixie's band plays in the finals instead. Her band is disqualified when the Rainbooms reappear and defeat the Dazzlings. Despite being freed from the spell, Trixie still swears revenge for her defeat, while interrupting Twilight and Flash's romantic moment, and exits the stage after throwing a smoke bomb, falling off the stands during her getaway.

Trixie appears as an Easter egg in the form of a keychain in the 2014 video game Watch Dogs wearing an outfit similar to the game's protagonist.^[11]

A notable headcanon among the brony fandom is the theory that Trixie is transgender ("Trans Trixie"), stemming from a comment by Lauren Faust that the boast unicorn in "Boast Busters" was originally male.^[12][13] This interpretation has gained traction among some fans, particularly in LGBTQ+ communities within the fandom. Fandom musician Vylet Pony espouses the theory that Trixie is transgender, citing elements of the character's design that she believes resemble male ponies (stallions) more than female ponies (mares) on the show, among other potential indicators.^[14]

Trixie was among the first character voices implemented in 15.ai, a text-to-speech web application that allowed users to generate speech of fictional characters.^[15]
