16	** All of the original Mane 6 with children qualify for this in some way, considering their history.

22	* AuthorAvatar: Sugar Spice [[WordOfGod is a filly version of Mew.]]
23	* BerserkButton: Colt Trailblazer seems to have had one; when Sterling mentions Trailblazer's blank flank, the former tackles him.

25	* BigEater: Pumpkin Cake. She'll eat raw batter from the bowl!

28	** In episode 2, Boogie mentions she was brought to Twilight by her "Boogie Sense".
29	* ChangeTheUncomfortableSubject: In the pilot, when Rainbow Dash is pregnant with Blitzie, Rarity makes fun of her for having a third kid. Rainbow retorts by bringing up Esmeralda, and Rarity changes the subject quickly.

31	* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: At the end of his song in the pilot, Sterling [[spoiler:''levitates'' himself and earns his cutie mark through his desire to fly.]]

34	** Sweet Cider is a Cool Big Cousin to Two Bit, and Trailblazer is occasionally a Cool Big Bro for Blitzie.
35	* {{Determinator}}: Trailblazer and Blitzie shine in this field.
36	** Sweet Cider, too; her element is even willpower.

38	* EggMacGuffin: The third episode involves the new mane six having to care for an abandoned egg that eventually hatches into [[spoiler:baby Ellie.]]
39	* [[EveryoneCanSeeIt Everypony Can See It]]: Rosethorn and Sweet Cider's crushes on one another.

41	** Some [[http://mightymewtron.deviantart.com/art/Background-Pony-Fun-2-361678480?q=gallery%3Amightymewtron&qo=2 background ponies]] designed for the series look like the offspring of fan favorites.
42	* GirlGroup: The Mighty Mares, consisting of Boogie Beat, Center Stage, and Cymbal Crash.
43	* LikeFatherLikeSon: All over the place, prominently gender inversions. Rainbow Dash's kids, Apple Bloom and Two Bit, Sweet Cider and Applejack, and many more.
44	* AMinorKidroduction: The pilot shows why Sterling came to Ponyville, met the new Mane 6, and how he and Trailblazer earned their cutie marks as foals.
45	* MySisterIsOffLimits: Pound Cake, which leads to his rivalry toward Sterling.
46	* OurWerebeastsAreDifferent: The first official episode introduces the werepony, a pony who shares his or her soul with a powerful demon that rises during a blue moon.

52	** There's also the upcoming villainous duo "The Critter Getters" based off Jessie and James of Team Rocket.
53	* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Trailblazer is practically a male Rainbow Dash.
54	** Rosethorn's behavior is also very similar to Fluttershy.
55	** Take away the whole "wings" obsession and gender invert him, and Sterling becomes Twilight. Lampshaded a few times when Twilight becomes nostalgic about his attitude.
56	** Two Bit is very much like Apple Bloom.
