But unfortunately for her the mysterious Ahuizotl is out to get them first, for aims that aren't clear to anyone least of all Ms. Do herself...

* BondVillainStupidity: A must have for almost ''every'' villain in this series. They just can't resist a good death trap.

* FanonDiscontinuity: The recent book Daring Do and the Legacy of Nightmare Moon has suffered this treatment for straying from the core principles of the franchise, including neither Ahuizotl or ancient artefacts. Instead the book focussed on the thwarting the plot of the draconic Inti to use the magic of the stars to conquer Equestria.

* DarkerAndEdgier: ''Daring Do and the Temple of Nightmare Moon'' (not to be confused with the more recent book ''Legacy of Nightmare Moon'') is considered one of the darkest entries in the Core Sixteen series and one of the only movie adaption likely to receive a 'PG-13' rating.

* CatsAreMean: The BigBad Ahuizotl and his many minions are all cats.

* BoobyTrap: Includes almost every variety under the sun. Including:

This is largely attributed to the strange manner in which the books were published: the manuscript of the first published book ''Daring-Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Statue'' was found in a desk drawer at the back of the Canterlot Royal Library by an acclaimed Editor and Literary agent. Later more and more such manuscripts began turning up in the Library until eventually all sixteen Daring Do books were published. The "Core Sixteen" make up a loose canon, though many ExpandedUniverse/Spinoffs exist, many fans refuse to accept them as canon. The stories quickly became one of the most well-known classics in modern Equestrian literature, and are popular with grade-school pony classes.[[hottip:*:This title is not real and is actually a page for fun, inspired by a ShowWithinAShow book introduced in the episode "Read It And Weep" from MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic. Add whatever you like so long as it fits into at least the first book of the series (from the episode), and make sure it fits in the genre. Keep in mind also that the readers in the world of Equestria, and possibly the author, are ponies, and warp your entries accordingly.]]

* [[IndyHatRoll Daring Hat Roll]]: The TropeNamer. Averted in the first book. Played straight in most of the subsequent ones.

Film adaptions of the first four books, with a fifth in the works staring Hairerion Trot in the title role.

* [[ActionGirl Action Mare]]: Who else but Daring herself?

* BelligerentSexualTension: Daring and Sorian, in spades!

* {{Crossover}}: Not in the main book series, but there was a memorable episode of the popular Trottingham TV series ''Professor Whoof'' where the good Professor and his companion met Daring Do on one of her adventures. No, really.

* LovableRogue: Sorian, Daring's on-and-off love interest, is certainly this. He can be quite the goofball.

* ThrowItIn: The second book in the series, ''The Griffin's Goblet'', contained a minor character named Harpy. His name was misspelt as Herpy, however and fans latched onto that spelling and embraced the silly pony. In the third book ''Daring Do and the Temple of Nightmare Moon'', Herpy returned as a major character.

!!This Series contains examples of:

* MacGuffin: OnceAnEpisode. Whatever treasure Daring Do is currently seeking to recover is essentially one of these.
* NoNameGiven: The author, or several if we are to believe the history books, has no actual name except for whatever pen name appears along with the manuscripts. The obscurity and mystery behind this (these?) pony scribe(s) is what fascinates most fans to this day, rather than the stories themselves.

* EvilIsHammy: Another must have for the villains in this series. Ahuizotl is the most obvious example though

* ConvectionSchmonvection: Daring Do's escape from a room filling with lava, at one point with her standing inches above it (bare-hooved, even), without harm. She even gets a face-full of steam with no ill effects.

* AdventurerArchaeologist: Daring Do. Quite possibly one of the most triumphant examples in Equestrian history.

[[JustForFun/DaringDo ''TheAdventuresOfDaringDo'']] are a series of Adventure/Action/Fantasy novels written by a secretive author under a variety of pen names. The books are written in a AnachronicOrder, starting close to the beginning of Do's adventuring career, and then skipping around the various missions and adventures, with little to no explanation. Bits and pieces of Do's backstory have been revealed but nothing concrete, there also appears to be a MythArc, but it seems to be happening completely out of order.

Meet Ms. Daring Do, a strong and clever Pegasus that is head of the Canterlot Anthropology department, who has made it her mission in life to learn everything she can about the long lost civilzations of the world, by hunting down their treasures, great and small, and preserving them back at the Canterlot University. But unfortunately for her the mysterious Ahuizotl is out to get them first, for aims that aren't clear to anyone least of all Ms. Do herself...
