3	Shining Armor and Cadence's spell reveals something completely unexpected as it expels Chrysalis and her changelings out of Canterlot. A secret kept from everypony for several years...
4
5	!!Tropes in The Three Sisters:
6
7	* AbusiveParent: Queen Metamorpha makes it pretty clear that if her children disappoint her, she'd kill them.
8	* AndThereWasMuchRejoicing: When Chrysalis' mother was killed by a griffon assassin, the celebrations lasted for weeks. Chrysalis states that had the griffon been a changeling, the assassin would have been made the new ruler on the spot.
9	* AlternateUniverse:
10	** The story follows canon directly until Chrysalis is repelled from Canterlot, at which point [[spoiler:Rarity's status as a changeling]] is revealed.
11	** And as it turns out, there was a divergence on the day the Mane Six got their cutie marks, as [[spoiler:Rarity, as well as the changeling sisters Cocoon, Chrysalis and Pupa were involved in an accident that forced Cocoon to sacrifice her own life to fuse the fatally injured Pupa and Rarity so that they could survive]].
12	* BadBoss: Chrysalis sees no problem with "disposing" of a drone with a broken leg.
13	* DidntThinkThisThrough: Chrysalis's daughters quickly realize that kidnapping and bringing [[spoiler:Twilight Sparkle, personal protege of Celestia and practically a daughter to her, into their lair might not have been the best idea]]
14	* PoorCommunicationKills: Events of ''Extended Family'' set off because [[spoiler:Arachne, Araci and Phasmi think that Chrysalis had decided to make Thysa the next queen and will kill them. Which is exact opposite of Chrysalis' intentions.]]
15	* DiggingYourselfDeeper: Rainbow Dash's attempts to compliment Rarity fail spectacularly.
16	* EmotionEater: As [[spoiler:Rarity explains]], Changelings don't need to steal love, especially not with friends and family nearby.
17	* FamilyThemeNaming: Chrysalis and her sisters Pupa and Cocoon are all named after transitory stages in insects.
18	* FusionDance: [[spoiler: Cocoon sacrifices herself to fuse Pupa and Rarity together in order to save them both]].
19	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Cocoon sacrifices herself to [[FusionDance fuse Pupa and Rarity together]] in order to save them both]].
20	* ImAHumanitarian: The Diamond Dogs have no issue with eating sentient creatures, like Rarity and Pupa.
21	* ModestRoyalty: [[spoiler:Rarity doesn't want to be called a princess, even though she is one.]]
22	* ObsessedWithFood: Rarity just ''loves'' fruit bats. She didn't know what her favorite food in the hive was called and when told, her first reaction is to be horrified she never tried to catch and cook the fruit bat colony in Sweet Apple Acres.
23	** In ''Extended Family'', [[spoiler:Rarity forgets the plan to sneak into the hive and drops her disguise by accident when she gets a chance to snack on them]]
24	** [[spoiler:Sweetie Bell]] seems to also have preferences for them in ''Extended Family''
25	* TheCoup: [[spoiler:Three daughters of Chrysalis launch one in ''Extended Family''.]] It's not very well thought out.
26	* TheChessmaster: Chrysalis. [[spoiler: Or at least that is what her daughters think. In reality she is content on watching three of them make fools of themselves, having done ''nothing'' to actually stop them until the end]]
27	* TheReveal: [[spoiler:Rarity is, and always has been, a Changeling.]]
28	* {{Unishment}}: Chrysalis decrees that her rebellious daughters [[spoiler:no-longer need to go on pointless quest or compete. Instead of fighting to the death, they shall rule together after she passes.]] Actual proper punishment comes in form of civil service in Ponyville.
29	* WouldHurtAChild: The Diamond Dog pack are perfectly willing to kill, cook and eat two fillies.
