* AdaptationalJerkass: While she is still portrayed as a well-meaning ruler, Princess Celestia displays a pattern of arrogance and [[LackOfEmpathy belittling of others' concerns]] when dealing with individual ponies, from brushing off her sister's pre-Nightmare Moon insecurities, to subsequently blaming Luna's [[TeacherStudentRomance pupil/lover]] for her fall into madness (when if anything he was the victim of [[ClingyJealousGirl Luna's jealous rage]]) and trying to have him arrested, to talking down to and slapping Cadance when the latter is upset after [[spoiler:learning of Shining Armor and Luna's affair]] (Cadance had [[DisproportionateRetribution gone too far in response]] but Celestia didn't know that yet), to [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking getting Twilight drunk at Fluttershy and Big Mac's wedding reception]]. In "Apple Family Secrets", she reacts to Applejack [[spoiler:[[CallingTheOldManOut calling her out for seducing a random stallion and abandoning the resulting daughter]] ''Applejack's biological grandmother --]] by calling her a "bumpkin" and blaming earth ponies for "saddl[ing] the rest of us with your feeble moral code" [[spoiler:(i.e. monogamy)]], and even briefly considering [[TakenForGranite turning AJ into stone]] after AJ [[spoiler:threatens to blackmail her with the knowledge of the affair]]. This is portrayed as a temporary, stress-induced relapse into the darker mindset she had during Luna's banishment and her next appearance has her back to the caring, well-meaning monarch, but she also [[{{Hypocrite}} castigates Luna for doing the same thing that she did and shows no regrets for]].

* NoodleIncident:
** It has yet to be explained just how Rarity and Sweetie's parents died beyond an "accident", though the author imagines it was a [[WebVideo/FriendshipIsWitchcraft carriage crash]].
** [[InSpiteOfANail Twilight still becomes a princess,]] but it's only stated that it happened later than in canon, with no further details.
