Added DiffLines:
* ADayInTheLimelight: The entire story is one for the two mane characters. Also, Williams takes the other members of Octavia's ensemble (who are often ignored by the fandom) and gives them names, personalities and dialogue (except for Harpo, who's TheVoiceless).
Added DiffLines:
* DefrostingIceQueen: Octavia's CharacterDevelopment throughout the story. She evolves from barely tolerating Vinyl's loud mouth and outrageous antics to realizing that she's really a good pony and becoming friends with her. [[spoiler:The epilog states that they eventually move in together.]]
