** Derpy is meant to have a mental/neurological/developmental disability, but nothing is specified in the narrative. She might also have physical issues as it's noted that she has difficulties controlling her body movements, she can't speak well, and she can't see well (due to her lazy eye).
** It's mentioned that Derpy's mother is on medicine that makes her "stop crying" when she's depressed.

This is probably the closest trope that exists and applies to this example.

* AmbiguousSituation: While it's heavily implied that [[spoiler:Derpy's mother tried to poison her]], it could have just been that [[spoiler:Derpy ate too much.]]
* DarkFic: It's a story about parental abuse and disabilities, based on a cartoon about talking ponies.
* GoodParents: While Derpy's mother is abusive, her father tries to support her and give her what's best.
* InnocentInaccurate: Due to either her young age, her disability, or both, Derpy sometimes misunderstands serious things:
** She doesn't understand that her mother is abusive; she thinks she's just loud and that she's calling her a "retard pony" because it's just a pony subtype, like a pegasus or a unicorn.
** When she has to go to the hospital, she doesn't realise and thinks it's just a cool new place.
* TheKlutz: Deconstructed. Derpy is very clumsy, but it's because she has a disability.

* UnnamedParent: Both of Derpy's parents are unnamed.
* VagueAge: Derpy is very naive in this story, but it's hard to tell how much of that naivete is due to her disability and how much is simply due to her young age. The disability is vaguely-defined, so she might be a developmentally-normal four-year-old with physical disabilities, or she might be a developmentally-delayed twelve-year-old. She's younger than a teenager, though.

''Bubbles'' is a ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' oneshot. The writer is anonymous, but the story was written early in the fandom's lifespan.
The story is about the foalhood of a background pony referred to by most as "Derpy Hooves". Derpy is ignorant to the fact she's considered different from other foals. Her mother, on the other hand, is well-aware of her daughter's disabilities and hates her for it. Derpy doesn't care though--she's ignorant to the harshness of her home life.

!!''Bubbles'' provides examples of:
* AbusiveParents: Derpy's mother is emotionally and physically abusive. It's also implied that [[spoiler:she tried to poison her]] and then she [[spoiler:abandons Derpy in the woods]].

* BittersweetEnding: The story ends with [[spoiler:Derpy being abandoned in the woods]]. The only thing making this a "Bittersweet Ending" and not a straight up DownerEnding is that it's about an established character's childhood, so obviously she ended up fine in the end.
* FriendlessBackground: Derpy is kept inside most of the time and doesn't have any friends her age.
* OffingTheOffspring: It's implied that [[spoiler:Derpy's mother]] tried to poison her, but it didn't work.
* ParentalAbandonment: The fic ends in [[spoiler:Derpy being abandoned in a forest by her mother]].
* ParentalNeglect: Derpy's mother does the bare minimum to take care of her and prefers to avoid her.
* PottyFailure: On her first (and apparently only) day of school, Derpy had an accident. It's implied she was laughed at by the other kids, but she doesn't take much notice to it.
