* CharacterDevelopment: Blue Belle is starting to show this, as she feels genuine regret over causing Genevieve to exile herself to the human world and realizing that she's only antagonizing everyone she meets.
* DeadpanSnarker: Voltaire, just like in real life.
* {{Expy}}: Blue Belle is a younger version of Prince Blueblood, but [[CharacterDevelopment she's starting to get better]]. Her father, Prince Blueblood (an earlier one), is a more direct example.
* Fantastic Racism: The [[MemeticMutation love and tolerance]] of the series hasn't been established yet, so the Unicorns are considered to be on the top, with Pegasi in the middle, while Earth ponies being stuck at the bottom. Celestia is aware of this, but she's never had the means to change it.
* MeanTeenager: Blue Belle, at least at first.
* StopWorshipingMe: Even more so in than in the main series. Ponies will invariably genuflect whenever Celestia uses serious magic, and see her as perfect and infallible. part of the reason why Celestia likes Voltaire so much is that he's taken steps to end this image of her.

Usually, crossovers either set Equestria in an alternate universe or send in a fictional character to deal with a problem in Equestria. Not this story. This time, it's a real person to have visited Equestria, the famous philosopher Creator/Voltaire.
Set a few hundred years back in Equestrian history ([[CaptainObvious and ours as well), Celestia is trying not to scream in aggravation. Another Summer Sun Celebration, another year where her beloved little ponies won't get off their knees in genuflect to enjoy the sunrise with her. However, most other Summer Sun Celebrations don't have portals open up to alternate dimensions that send a saddened donkey jennies out and dazed philosophers in. Once Voltaire gets himself composed and evaluated to be a non-threat, he decides to do what he does best: get Royals to pay him to talk.
