* NightmareFuel:
** [[spoiler: Despite having some comical moments, Opaline can be more than a bit unnerving. For one thing she's an ''evil alicorn'' who believes her kind deserve to rule supreme over all ponies just because they're... well... alicorns. [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Remind you of anyone?]] Also, Opaline's mistreatment of her minion and adoptive daughter, Misty, is a somewhat disturbingly realistic portrayal of an AbusiveMom; not only does Opaline prey on poor Misty's insecurities and desire for a Cutie Mark to secure her loyalty, but she constantly berates, belittles, humiliates and intimidates her even when she's just trying to help or innocently find something to make her happy. Perhaps what is most frightening about Opaline is the fact that Twilight Sparkle, a brave and powerful princess who believed in ThePowerOfFriendship and had already defeated many dangerous villains, deemed Opaline such a serious threat to Equestria that she not only hid Equestria from the rest of the world, but sealed away ''all of its magic!'']]
** [[spoiler: Not to mention her draining Sparky of his magic at the end of chapter four, leaving the poor little guy weakened and [[ColorFailure near-colorless]] (and having no problem letting him fall to his death after the process is completed).]]

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Opaline is the big one.
** Does her general treatment of Misty stem from an inability to control her anger, sadism, or is there a deeper more emotional reason? To her credit, she is never shown nor implied to actually physically assault Misty, which she could easily do if she desired, and also never seems to display any enjoyment from mistreating her as well. Misty, for her part, while certainly wanting to please Opaline, doesn't seem to show much love for her overall (though justified given how afraid she is of her), nor ever calls Opaline 'mother' at all either despite her being her adoptive mother. Perhaps Opaline feels hurt by all this, hence her harsh treatment of her?
** Her saying she doesn't care about Misty in "Cutie Blossom Bash". Does she really mean it or is she in denial? It is noticeable that she was about to check up on Misty before stopping herself short and delivering her "I don't care" line. The camera even makes a point of this by showing a close-up of her hoof just stopping, as if to hint at something...
** The fact that she still keeps Misty around despite not really needing her anymore after stealing Sparky's magic. She claims she needs Misty to "take notes", but this feels like a weak excuse at best. Is it because very deep down, she secretly likes Misty's company and is actually afraid of losing her and being alone but is too prideful to admit it? Adding more to the speculation is the fact that whenever Misty is from away from her for a long period of time and comes back, Opaline, in her own way of course, expresses concern at her for being gone for so long.
** Was her wanting to befriend [[spoiler:Celestia and Luna,]] genuine? Or was she just looking at an opportunity for status? Her sad reaction to their rejection does suggest the former. Speaking of which...
*** [[spoiler:Celestia and Luna's]] cold reaction towards Opaline. Were they just that snobby in their younger years? OR was it because they suspected that she was up to no good?

** Her general treatment of Misty, does it stem from her inability to control her anger? is it caused by sadism? or is there a deeper more emotional reason? to her credit, she is never shown or implied to actually physically assault Misty, which she could easily do if she desired, she also never displays any enjoyment from mistreating her as well. Misty for her part, while certainly wanting to please Opaline, doesn't seem to show much love for her overall (though justified in how afraid she is of her), She also doesn't call her 'mother' at all either, despite Opaline being her adoptive mother, perhaps Opaline feels hurt by all this hence her harsh treatment of her?

** Her saying she doesn't care for Misty in "Cutie Blossom Bash", does she really mean it or is she in denial? it is noticeable that she was about to check up on Misty before stopping herself short and delivering her "I don't care" line. The camera even makes a point of this by showing a close-up of her hoof just stopping, as if to hint at something...
** Her still keeping Misty around despite not really needing her anymore after stealing Sparky's magic, she claims she needs Misty to "take notes" but this feels like a weak excuse at best. Is she really still keeping Misty around just for taking notes? or is it because very deep down she secretly enjoys Misty's company and is actually afraid of being alone but is too prideful to admit it?
