* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Sergeant Thunderhead and Squadron Leader Savoir Faire argue over how to get the stowaway Twilight back to her parents, and Thunderhead goes MilitaryMaverick on her, flying Twilight back to the docks despite his crippled wing and Savoir Faire's protestations about the regulations. But when Thunderhead's wing goes into spasm, Savoir Faire uses her magic to get them both down safely. WordOfGod says they are a HappilyMarried couple.

* BadassBeard: Gisela briefly has one after Twilight accidentally fires a spell at her.
* BoardingSchoolOfHorrors: Lemon Burst and Orange Twist try to convince Twilight that Princess Celestia's school is one of these.

* ContinuityNod: References to events in the original show are scattered throughout, from the newspaper headline in [[http://muffinshire.deviantart.com/art/Comic-Twilight-s-First-Day-2-335221312 part 2]], to Twilight Sparkle's entrance exam where she hatched Spike. Despite starting in 2012, when only two seasons of the TV show had aired, the author has included nods to the canon as it developed over time, including references to Sunset Shimmer from ''WesternAnimation/EquestriaGirls'', Moondancer, and characters from the IDW comic series.

* ExactWords: Night Light and Twilight Velvet chastise Twilight Sparkle for jumping on their bed at 5:00am by pointing out her brother Shining Armor has just as much reason to be excited and he isn't doing the same. Twilight promptly fetches Shining Armor and they ''both'' do it.
* FirstDayFromHell: As you might expect from an excitable, accident-prone filly.
* FirstDayOfSchoolEpisode: For Twilight.
* HumiliationConga: Pretty much the definition of Twilight's day - in the space of a morning she has accidentally stained her brother's uniform, stowed away on an airship, got stuck in mud (which she then got all over Princess Celestia), been covered in dragon vomit, magicked a beard onto the dean of students, been blasted across the hallway, got stuck up a tree, and covered in goop during science class.
