----

{{tropelist}}

* [[All There in the Manual]]: In-universe: the GM sent Dash's player a ten-page email explaining her character. She barely skimmed enough to pick up the term 'weatherpony', and misunderstood that as being a forecaster instead of weather control.

* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: The players' takes on their respective ponies.

* [[Backstory]]: All the characters have some backstory, Applejack most of all.

* [[Friend to All Living Things]]: Fluttershy, naturally. She is very enthusiastic about it as well, going from soft-spoken to gushing when asked to describe her character's special talent.

* [[Forgot I Could Fly|Forgot You Could Fly]]: Dash keeps reminding everyone that she and 'the Druid' can fly. Including the Druid.

* [[Genre Savvy]]: Applejack's player is exceedingly so, both when it comes to common game cliches and dealing with the [[Game Master]]. Rarity is also pretty savvy, and Twilight's savviness is more focused on story cliches than gameplay mechanics.

* [[Gold Digger]]: Rarity's ultimate goal is to marry into nobility.

* [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]:

** The GM allows the players to shape the game world as they're playing, and [[Railroading|railroaded]] the party through a series of challenges in Everfree Forest. Twilight then uses those experiences to justify their gaining the Elements of Harmony.

* [[Hopeless Boss Fight]]:

** {{spoiler|Nightmare Moon was intended to be this.}}

'''Twilight:''' BOTH! }}

* [[I Shall Taunt You]]: {{spoiler|Dash tries to goad the Shadowbolts into showing aggression so she can attack.}}

* [[Info Dump]]: Fluttershy's gushing over Spike leads to him relating how dragons first came to Equestria. Most of it is off-panel, though, with the reader only getting to hear the lead-in and tail end.

* [[Jerkass Realization]]: Sort of. [http://friendshipisdragons.thecomicseries.com/comics/109 Twilight's player realizes that] she'd been playing like a [[Munchkin]] after seeing [[Crossover|Luke]] [[One Piece: Grand Line 3 Point 5|and Cory]] serve out ridiculous character ideas. Applejack's player reassures her that she's not as bad as them.

* [[Large Ham]]: Rarity's player busts out the ham when she realizes {{spoiler|what Twilight's trying to do with the Elements of Harmony}}.

** The CMC's make a darn good attempt at this in objection to Fluttershy's request to find her rabbits; they accuse her of being evil instead and attack her. {{spoiler|This turns out to be a very bad idea; see [[Total Party Kill]], [[Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies]] and [[Oh Crap]].}}

* [[Oh Crap]]: The CMC's reaction to realising that {{spoiler|the quest giver they just attacked was a 15th level druid.}}

* [[Player Archetypes]]:

** [[The Roleplayer]]: Played with through Applejack: her player created an extensive history for her, including [[The Clan|the Apple Clan]] and Sweet Apple Acres. However, this was at least partly so that she could exploit the advantages they provided. Rarity and Fluttershy are straighter examples.
