* [[It's Personal]]: While we don't learn exactly what he did, it's clear from how she reacts to Discord that she hates him with a passion.

* [[Lonely At the Top]]: She suffers a small degree of this though it may have been cured after her reunion with her sister.

* [[Modest Royalty]]: Fits the personality associated at least. She is very social and prefers livelier more personal get-togethers over extravagant soirees. It turns out this is one of the major reasons she invites Twilight and her friends to the Grand Galloping Gala. She hates how dull the event usually is since she spends effectively the whole Gala welcoming guests and doesn't get to enjoy it and she's hoping the girls will liven things up a bit. [[Hilarity Ensues|They do]].

* [[Trickster Mentor]]: She occasionally manipulates Twilight Sparkle in order to teach her a valuable lesson or encourage her to do something exceptional. Usually. See below for when it's for personal reasons.

* [[Troll]]: Mostly according to [[Fanon]], but "A Bird in the Hoof" and "The Best Night Ever" do show her engaging in a bit of lighthearted mischief at her subjects' expense.

* [[Unmoving Plaid]]: The colors of her mane wave...just not in the same way that the mane ''itself'' moves. Might have something to do with her practically being a [[Physical God]].

* [[The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask|The Mare Wearing the Princess-ly Mask]]: A far more benign example but Celestia shows a great desire to be in a closer and more personal relationship with her subjects instead of the adoration, noble politeness, praise and nervousness she causes wherever she goes and she holds extremely dear her informal relationship with her star student.

* [[Not What It Looks Like]]: Pretty much everything she does in "Luna Eclipsed". She appears to be touting her old hammy evil routine but she's really just out of touch with modern etiquette. Her [[Big Entrance]] is of particular note. Pinkie Pie isn't helping matters of course.

* [[OC Stand In]]: Between appearances, Luna was the show's most common pony in fanfiction and mention of her hiding in her sister's shadow and cuddling with an abacus was treated as de facto interpretation. Now [[Took a Level In Badass|not so much.]]

* [[Perky Goth]]: Luna is now devoid of malice, but her personal tastes still look like something escaped from a horror movie starting with her macabre [http://www.hasbro.com/common/assets/Flash/Creative/dad2af6e1c4311ddbd0b0800200c9a66/0f6b55af5056900b1013cd724a8d4018/assets/props/MLP_PropH_Carriage.swf royal chariot], her demonic-looking [http://www.hasbro.com/common/assets/Flash/Creative/dad2af6e1c4311ddbd0b0800200c9a66/0f6b55af5056900b1013cd724a8d4018/assets/characters/MLP_CharH_Pegasus.swf royal guards] and the idea that animating a group of giant, hairy spiders would be "fun" for everyone else.

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: When she's not fresh off the Rainbow of Light and traumatized after a thousand years of exile, she's actually a pretty capable leader of mares.

* [[Tsundere]]: Those mood swings certainly paint her as such, especially when only the audience (and then Twilight) gets to see how hurt she really feels.

* [[Vague Age]]: Even though she's an immortal moon goddess and only slightly younger than her adult sister, her true form's biological age is pretty ambiguous. Made even more confusing as of ''Luna Eclipsed'', where Luna's colors are slightly different and her mane flows like Celestia's, though [[Word of God]] has given an (on-the-spot) explanation as to how it could have happened.

* [[Unmoving Plaid]]: {{spoiler|When she performs a [[Power of Love]]-fueled spell with Shining Armor}}, her mane begins to flow just like Celestia's for a short time, only to settle back into a solid form when it's all done. That sort of flowing mane might be an indication of power among [[Winged Unicorn|Winged Unicorns]].

* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?]]: Despite being a royal Alicorn, Cadance's magic is very weak and limited (Twilight's magic is more powerful and versatile than hers) plus her special "love" talent cannot ''create'' love, only rekindle and amplify the one already present between couples. This trope is subverted at the end, as Cadance's love power is what allows Shining Armor to perform once again his barrier spell, this time supercharged with Cadance's own power.
