* TheLostWoods: The Everfree Forest, as is usual in ''MLP:FIM''. It is a mostly-trackless enchanted forest full of dangerous monsters once one enters deeply or goes off the few roads. [[spoiler:It proves too much for Ceymi and most of her training patrol.]]

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Most of them Original Characters, and even the minor ones tend to have memorable traits. One of the stronger aspects of this story, in fact.

* {{Adorkable}}: Spark Wheel, at any age. [[spoiler:Meadow Song certainly thinks so]].

* TheDreaded: {{Princess}} [[PhysicalGod Celestia]], for the changelings. She controls the Sun, and can rain down hot fiery plasma on her foes. What's ''not'' to fear?

* AwakeningTheSleepingGiant: The consequence of the ill-fated attack of Queen Chrysalis on Canterlot as detailed in "A Canterlot Wedding", from the changeling POV: the Equestrians now know that the changelings exist, and assume them all to be hostile. [[spoiler:It is this which destroys Meadow's happiness with Spark]]. Ceymi was GenreSavvy enough be seriously worried about this.

As the years pass, the maturing changeling finds that her identity as Meadow [[BecomingTheMask becomes increasingly more real]] than his old life as Nictis. Whom will the Infiltrator prove loyal to at the last, when he/she must decide between loyalty to his Hive -- or to her new friends?

* TheDreaded: [[BadassPrincess Princess]] [[PhysicalGod Celestia]], for the changelings. She controls the Sun, and can rain down hot fiery plasma on her foes. What's ''not'' to fear?
