* [[Chekhov's Gunman|Chekhov's Gunmare]]: Apple Bloom had a very brief speaking part in the pilot and is shown huddling with the other future crusaders when Nightmare Moon appears. She didn't play a major role in the series until her reappearance in "Bridle Gossip;" the other two had to wait until "Call of the Cutie" to make their debut.

* [[The Chew Toy|Chew Toys]]: Their quest for their cutie marks has put them through [[Looney Tunes|Wile E Coyote]] levels of abuse. Even an unrelated task (Scoot and Belle helping Apple Bloom in "Family Appreciation Day") leads to all three of them getting pelted across the farm via [[Tree Buchet]].

* [[Freudian Trio]]: in many ways.

** [[Beauty, Brains, and Brawn]]: Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo respectively.

** [[Comic Trio]]: Scootaloo suggests something dangerous or silly, Apple Bloom goes along with it and Sweetie Belle won't complain loud enough to avoid getting dragged along. [[Downplayed]], as Apple Bloom isn't stupid; she's just game for anything.
⚫
** [[Freudian Trio]]: Scootaloo is the id, Apple Bloom is the ego, and Sweetie Belle is the superego.
⚫
** [[Token Trio]]: Since they represent the three different races of ponies - Sweetie Belle is a unicorn, Apple Bloom is an earth pony and Scootaloo is a pegasus.
⚫
** [[Town Girls]]: Sweetie Belle is the femme, Apple Bloom is the neutral one, and Scootaloo is the butch.

So long as they have fun with each other while they do it.
