Character Name: Queen Chrysalis
Character Series: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
Character Age: Unknown
Background: Chrysalis' wiki page and Changeling section on the wiki
Personality:
Queen Chrysalis is cold, calculating, sneaky, and conniving. As a Changeling, her main ability is to perfectly mimic the appearance and voice of a living being. However, her abilities don't cover the being's personality, so it's up to her to act the part.

She does a fair job in acting, but she can't always hide her true nature perfectly. People close to the one she's impersonating can usually tell that their behavior is off, but sometimes she can find excuses to brush off their worries.

She's a quick thinker and can turn on the tears at will. When Twilight accused her of being evil (and rightfully so), she immediately started crying and ran off sobbing. When she takes a harsh tone at Twilight during the wedding, she realizes her mistake and starts crying.

Once the real Cadance points out that Chrysalis is a fake, Chrysalis stays with her regular, cruel personality. Since she's been revealed, she decides to show her true form.

A good portion of Chrysalis' screen time takes place while she's impersonating Princess Cadence. She's able to fool everypony but Twilight Sparkle. Even though Shining Armor was closer to Cadance than Twilight, it's likely that Chrysalis was able to use her mind control to keep him from realizing the truth.

Chrysalis does excellent research, but there are holes. She knew about a nearly-forgotten section of Canterlot (the old crystal caves), but, even though she masquerading as a pony marrying Shining Armor, she didn't recognize his sister or know Twilight's and Cadance's history together. She's also able to imitate Princess Cadance well enough to not draw any suspicion to herself. Any behavior that was out of place was blamed on wedding stress and jitters, so she was able to get away with being a little nasty.

As a Changeling, her food source is the love of others. She picks a being that is loved and replaces them, slowly draining away the love others have for them. The stronger the love, the more powerful she becomes.

Because she devours love, she is most likely incapable of any kind of love. During part of one her songs; she makes the comment that she doesn't love Shining Armor because "in my heart there is no room". She cares her own way for the other Changelings, however she calls them "subjects" and "minions", so she sees herself above them, for she is their Queen. When Cadance says that her love with give Shining Armor strength, the thinks the idea is ridiculous.

As Queen, she's taken it upon herself to find food sources for the Changelings. She says that Equestria has the most love she's ever seen, which implies they travel around, perhaps much like locusts, draining the love from every place they arrive at. She wants them to absorb all of Equestria's love so that they all will have more power than they've ever dreamed of.

Since she feeds off love, it's possible that normal food does nothing for her. She tries one of Applejack's "best darn bite-sized apple fritters you ever tasted", and looks indifferent while giving a forced-sounding compliment and resists taking some for a snack, eventually throwing them away, while Twilight and the real Cadance obviously enjoyed them greatly.

She is immensely proud, during her time as Cadance, she insisted repeatedly to be called by Cadance's full name and title, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza. Also, when she checked on Applejack's work, she seemed irritated; perhaps she thought it beneath her. When Rarity bows to her and tells her how honored she is to work on the wedding, Chrysalis barely acknowledges her. Then, when she looked over Rarity's dresses, she dissed not only the dress made for her, but also those of the bridesmaids'. She was doing a power play to show that she was in control. The three bridesmaids loved the original dresses, but Chrysalis still insisted on having them changed. Her only input towards the bridesmaids' dresses was that they should be a different color; she gave no further instructions or even what color she would like. Interestingly enough, she banished the three bridesmaids and replaced them with the main 6 ponies, making her argument pointless. Perhaps she banished them because they dared to speak against her wishes. Her insisting on a longer train for her dress could also indicate her wanting to show that she was in a higher status. Later, she sings that she could "care less about the dress", proving that she was just causing more work for Rarity.

When Pinkie Pie shows her all the fun things set up for the reception, she insults her plans, saying they would be good for a six year old. Pinkie thinks this is a compliment, so it just rolls off her back. Chrysalis probably thought she was too good for all the nonsense and may not even have the same concept as fun as ponies do.

Another power play of hers was demanding that Shining Armor shouldn't wear an emblem of his favorite uncle's. There's no reason he shouldn't, except that she just doesn't want him to. When he disagrees, he suddenly gets a headache that Chrysalis fixes with her mind control.

Chrysalis isn't afraid to get her hooves dirty, she banished Twilight to the caves when she caused trouble and later, the Queen took on Celestia by herself.

She's also prone to bragging when she thinks she's won, but sometimes her pride is her downfall. She taunted Twilight in the caves with her face and voice, causing Twilight to blast the crystals and find the real Cadance. If she hadn't done that, Twilight may not have found her and Chrysalis could have won. When Twilight and her friends are captured, she taunts them by saying that Twilight had been right all along, but they were too distracted to realize it. She's pleased that she was able to fool everypony, and then she sings about her triumph to herself. She's prone to singing when she thinks she's won. The last time she does so, she ignores her prisoners to gloat and sing, and in doing so, Twilight is able to free Cadance and she and Shining Armor are able to defeat the Changeling Queen.

Chrysalis is very ambitious, she wishes to take over all of Equestria and enslave the ponies to feed off their love. She says she's been dreaming of this day since she was small, perhaps that's helped her be an effective queen. She's greedy in her ambition, even though she doesn't love Shining Armor, she still wants him all to herself, though it may be perhaps because of all the love he has.
Abilities:
Flying - Chrysalis' wings look fragile, but she's a proficient flyer.
Shapechanging - She can change her form to that of any other living being, though she prefers to shift into a female form. The only thing that does not change is her green magic energy, even if the form she takes has a different color for their magic. Clothes can also become part of the transformation (Some of the other Changelings transformed into Applejack, including her hat). Other Changelings cannot tell the difference between an original and a transformed Changeling (While fighting Changelings, some of the 6 main ponies pretended to be Changelings and they were not noticed). The shapechange can be removed with certain kinds of magic (Twilight Sparkle zapped a Changeling back to its original form). Changelings can also swap from one transformation to another without stopping at their true form (One Changeling flipped from several different ponies when facing Pinkie Pie).
Voicechanging - As part of the shapechanging process, her voice changes to that of the one's she's transformed into. However, often her tone will be nastier than the original's.
Mind Control - Along with changing form, Chrysalis has a type of mind control she can use on other beings. She has been shown to control up to four ponies with mind control (Shining Armor and the three bridesmaids) but it's possible she is capable of mass control (she sings that "every stallion, mare, and foal will be under my control"). The mind control allows her to tell the one under her power what to do. However, they seem to regain some of their own self and wants, the three bridesmaids were tricked by a tossed bouquet. Beings under her mind control have a green tint or glow to their eyes. If they are snapped out of being controlled, they don't remember anything that's passed during that time (Shining Armor asked if the wedding was over). Cadance's love magic is the only known thing to remove the mind control, but likely there are other ways.
Love Absorption - Changelings feed on the love other beings have for the one they have transformed into. The process weakens the one being drained, it lowers their abilities until they can't use them at all (Shining Armor eventually was unable to keep up the shield spell he was performing and it shattered because Chrysalis had drained him. He also was having headaches, but it's unknown if it was because of Chrysalis or the strain of putting a shield around an entire city).
Love Sense - Chrysalis can sense love to a certain degree, but she cannot tell the full extent of it (She says that Equestria has the most love she's ever seen, but didn't know that Shining Armor's love would make her stronger than Celestia).
Magic - Her other magic can do several different things:
-Manipulate objects, such as lifting things or closing doors
-Can create green fire. It's unknown if it's hot, but it's definitely a barrier and light source.
-Can send beings downwards through the floor, likely she can also send them through walls and ceilings (She's shown banishing Twilight to the caves below the palace, where Cadance and the three bridesmaids had been sent earlier).
-Can create visual and sound illusions of herself on certain crystals (She taunted Twilight in the crystal caves).
-Can channel her magic energy to make a powerful blast. The power of the blast depends on the quality of the love she's absorbed.
Sticky Goop - Changelings can create a green, sticky goop that can keep a being stuck to the ground or be used similar to ropes to restrain a being (Cadance was stuck to the ground and two guardponies were stuck to the ground and stuck together). The goop can be removed with certain magic (Twilight removed the goop holding Cadance and Shining Armor's love powered shield removed the goop from the guards).
Cocoon - She can create a green cocoons that can hold one individual at a time. It's unknown if they have any other function besides keeping a prisoner (Princess Celestia was placed in a cocoon and did not escape, however, she was weakened at the time.)
