Description
While in her source material Snips and her younger brothers may come off as a bunch of jokers (until their Big Damn Heel-Face Turns moment just before the big showdown), in Adventures in Kalos and Collect the Cells, she and her group have become 100% dead-serious (save for AiK finale Memory Donked) mercenaries who REALLY took several levels in Badass and Jerkass.Tropes that apply to the AiK/CTCXYZ!Trio that aren't present in their source personality
Acrofatic: Ronk may have had shades of this in his source material, but he REALLY exemplifies this here.
Actor Allusion: Snips is scheming, manipulative, and slim-built, with a wide variety of freakishly disturbing expressions. Remind you of another Kazumi Evans role?
Adaptational Badass: They come off as a lot more than a mere Quirky Miniboss Squad now, due to some instances of Chatacter Development.
Snips especially. In her source material, Moe called her the most frail thing to ever live! Here, she can hold her own.
Adaptational Villainy: Even though they turned good for SURE at the end of The Legendary Starfy, in Adventures in Kalos and Collect the Cells, they're no longer Faces.
Apologizes a Lot: Downplayed with Ronk.
Badass Cape: Snips gets one that looks like fairy wings to replace her heart-shaped cape once she encounters Rarity and Gee in the Lumiose Gym, thanks to her staff.
Berserk Button: Never call Ronk slow just 'cause he's fat. He'll punch you so hard, he'll apologize.
Also, never disable Snips's magic somehow. Or betray her. Seriously. Starlight learned that the hard way.
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: This trope's subverted by being played literally with the Chrysalis Rings.
Cape Wings: Snips has a fairy-wing design on her cape, which, thanks to magic, enables her to use the cape as wings so she can fly.
Color-Coded Wizardry: Pink for her.
Does Not Know His Own Strength: Ronk immediately apologizes to Rainbow Dash after punching her a good several feet across the racing track in Glitzem Grotto.
Expy: The magic bracelet provides a worthy replacement to the Staff of Sameness, come Collect the Cells.
Foil: They each have a small filly, no older than 9, as a counterpart.
Snips and Sweetie Belle: Leaders of their respective groups, skilled at using magic, schemers, feminine
Ronk and Applebloom: Heavily built, taking a more physical approach, bruisers, more reserved
Papes and Scootaloo: Nimble and athletic, preferring unique techniques, fliers, easily angered
Helicopter Hair: Papes's hilarious braid has five frays at the end to function like a helicopter.
The Mole: Apparently, their Face-Heel Turn was a facade to fool the Bunnerans. It ended when Bunston overheard the Trio talking about a threat to assassinate him.
Mythology Gag: Several.
That cape Snips has, starting with Pampersaurus Regina? She was seen wearing it in S.S Logwater. (aside from cutscenes...)
The infamous "brainless traitor" scene comes from the line said by their previous master, when they perform their Dangerous Forbidden Technique on him, to no avail.
Snips's position as the magic-using leader comes from her method of offense during her fight in Skydye: sicking a bomb onto the player (shown as magicking one into existence), which they have to hit at her and pray she doesn't block it, and when it goes off, she simply moves to another corner of the room (shown as teleporting).
The worlds in the Pufftop Mini-Arc are showcased in order: Gluglug Lagoon, Hotcha Springs, Chillydip Cove, Sogwood Forest, Glitzem Grotto, Skydye Heights, S.S Logwater, and Planet Bunnera. Which is exactly how the worlds go in the mini-arc's story order.
The Trio's Janken motif continues in late Adventures in Kalos and hasn't stopped since.
Pimped-Out Cape: Snips's fairy-wing cape. Thanks to the staff, and come Collect the Cells, the bracelet, she can even use it to fly!
Psychotic Smirk: One of Snips's favorite smiles.
Punctuated! For! Emphasis!: "You... Brainless... TRAITOR!!!!!"
Slasher Smile: She really loves these.
Smug Smiler: Snips loves to do this.
Smug Snake: Basically Snips's personality distilled into two words.
Shout-Out: Ronk makes one to South Park: "I'm not fat! I'm just big-boned!"
Shown Their Work: During the Pufftop mini-arc, they properly showcase Sogwood Forest, Glitzem Grotto, Skydye Heights, and the S.S Logwater by having the respective episodes featuring them focus on Papes, Ronk, Snips, and the Mega Snark.
Unstoppable Rage: Starlight only told Snips that the pink Unicorn was good now and had no desire to steal Cutie Marks as an act of revenge any longer, and the first thing Snips does upon hearing that... is EXPLODE INTO A FIT OF RAGE AND NEARLY KILL EVERYONE IN KALOS!!
Ronk's response to Rainbow Dash calling him fat for the LAST TIME!? Punching the poor Pegasus across the racing track. And unlike Snips, apologizing afterward.
You Are Fat: Ronk IS kinda tubby, but he HATES being called such by anyone. Usually, he'll run away like the cowardly guy he is, but when Rainbow Dash calls him fat WAY too much, he punches her across the room and apologizes almost immediately after.
Starlight is another matter.
Everything belongs to its rightful owners, so be a Gem and give a hug!

Well, I think they made a HUGE mistake doing so. Pretending to be good, even going so far as to accidentally help the heroes win... And thus begins my headcanon that their Heel-Face Turn was all just a farce to distract the Bunnerans, but when Bunston found out they were gonna hold him hostage by overhearing a conversation from them in the alley, he ordered them banished from Bunnera. FOREVER! They went to Kalos as their intention was too convert it to their pleasure, but when they found out it had ponies in it, and not just Pokemon or people, they went nuts over how they could get so much power from the Equestrian magic! Snips initially got her hands on some magic of her own by means of a simple staff, but later, she came across a magic-copying bracelet that absorbed the staff and its magic to give her absolute power. Thus, the initial stages of her plan to rule Kalos with an iron fist had evolved, into a nefarious plot to reshape Kalos to her whim. She even had her own name for her future paradise: Paperock.
