** InUniverse, female minotaurs (''ageládas'') have breasts, but the majority of ponies haven't met any. It does mean there are proper corsetiere shops -- but they're mostly in [[ALoadOfBull Mazein]].

* HumansAreUgly: While the ponies think Centorea's horse half is attractive, they think her gorgeous by human standards human half is hideous. When she describes humans to the Pony guarding her cell [[note]]creatures that look like her upper torso and without the 'beautiful' equine lower torso and two legs with feet[[/note]], she goes visibly green. The very idea that she has body issues with her 'lower' half and that the human species finds her 'upper' half to be the attractive portion of her body is confusing, to say the least. Later, Celestia notes that this could pose a problem in the future, because she is pretty sure Centorea considers herself beautiful, but she is bound to run into somepony who will straight up insult her looks.
* LightningBruiser: By Equestrian standards, Cerea is a virtual giantess, and yet she's capable of sprinting at speeds that no pony other than Celestia or Luna could hope to match on-land (though swift pegasus fliers could keep up with or surpass her).

* NotNowKiddo: In chapter 13, Crossing Guard repeatedly dismisses Cerea's attempts to verbally dissuade him from taking her out of their room without waiting for their official escort, going so far as to grab her arm and physically pull her into following him. It's only after they stumble across a pony who ''isn't'' amongst the ponies who know of Cerea's existence that he finally realizes that Cerea was trying to say that the point of the guard escort isn't to keep Cerea from escaping, it's to clear the way of any unauthorized personnel.

* SuperSpeed: Downplayed, but Cerea's speed is absolutely incredible by Equestrian standards; observing her running for relief around a private track in chapter 11, the Princesses note that, whilst they could catch her, and so could a flying pegasus, there isn't a unicorn alive who'd be able to keep up, and even an earth pony would need to have "mythical" physical prowess to be able to match or surpass her. Her stamina is also nothing to sneeze at, either.

* TranslatorMicrobes: Averted. Upon arrival, nopony can understand Cerea, and all she hears are some rather complex horse noises. The only reason she can currently comprehend anypony (and vice-versa) is the loan of one of the rarest devices on the planet -- out of the ''five'' known to exist.
** However, the magic only works on ''sounds''. Cerea finds herself rendered fully illiterate -- and for someone whose fillyhood window on the outside world came from stories, who now finds herself surrounded by tales no centaur has never read, unable to make out a single word... it's agonizing.

''Daily Equestria Life with Monster Girl'' is a ongoing crossover between ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' (using most of the setting, characterization, and magic rules previously established in the ''Fanfic/TriptychContinuum'') and ''Manga/DailyLifeWithMonsterGirl'', written by Estee. The story can be read [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/432523/daily-equestria-life-with-monster-girl here]].

* MagicalMishap: Potentially. According to the sisters, summoning spells frequently can't be focused on a specific target: most of the time, the caster is effectively biting into the dark and pulling back the first thing they can get a virtual jaw grip on. So it's ''possible'' that Cerea was summoned by accident -- but at the same time, some castings have drawn in exactly what the caster was looking for. As of yet, there's just no way to tell.

* ArcWords: Or Arc Thought: ''SecondPlaceIsForLosers I'm no better than second to anyone.''

* GagBoobs: It's mentioned that Centorea's large bosom was a source of much mockery, derision and vulgar commentary, due to how amply equipped she is compared to humans. And now she's living among a species that only displays some degree of swelling when actively nursing. Whenever any pony looks at her chest, their reaction is invariably ''[[RunningGag Yearrggh...]]. (InUniverse, female minotaurs (''ageládas'') have breasts, but the majority of ponies haven't met any.)

* GagBoobs: ''([[RunningGag Yearrggh...]])'' And now living among a species that only displays some degree of swelling when actively nursing.
* GentleGiant: 6'7", which just about matches Celestia's height and leaves her towering over ponies who aren't exactly confident about the "gentle" part.

** Played for drama during Cerea's emotional collapse in Chapter 10: she winds up convincing herself that no matter how much attraction might be shown to her upper torso, ultimately, she would have been asking a human to have sex with a horse.
** And effectively flipped around in Equestria. She's not exactly going to be finding a boyfriend among the locals.

** Cerea spends at least two days in a wild zone before encountering ponies. The injuries substained lead to infection, and Equestria's knowledge of centaur medicine is limited to treating the wounds they ''inflict''. There are no antibiotics for her, and the only thing which saves her life is Celestia [[HealItWithFire burning out the infection]].

* ConvenientlyPreciseTranslation: Averted. The device loaned to Cerea works with the ''concept'' of language, and that's why it can translate something never before heard. However, it has trouble with terms that either party has never encountered, and frequently stutters through multiple, overlapping attempts before it finds something which can be roughly understood. Cerea's attempt to explain smartphone videos ultimately comes across as a 'handheld movie camera which instantly places its pictures onto distant screens': similarly foreign concepts can confuse or stall any final results in both directions.
** In particular, after a feverish Cerea introduces herself to Luna in the forest, nopony addresses her as anything but 'centaur'. It's possible that this is rudeness, belittling -- or given that her full name is ''[[SpeciesSurname Centorea Shianus]]'', the device may have made everypony hear nothing more than 'centaur'.

** Also applies to the entire [[Manga/DailyLifeWithMonsterGirl Monster Musume]] world. The flashbacks we've seen from Cerea's perspective have been demonstrating exactly how harsh parts of that environment are, along with the sheer number of problems caused by the integration laws -- and the damage done through having all of those species isolated for so long in the first place.
** No matter how much knightly training Cerea's received, she's essentially a terrified teenager who's trying to reconcile the idea that not only may there be no way for anypony to send her home, but everyone she's ever cared about has probably decided she's ''dead''.
* SummoningRitual: Chapter 8 establishes Cerea as the victim of one. She didn't randomly appear in Equestria: somepony found a way of using one of the least-cast categories of magic to ''call'' her -- and nopony knows why. So far, the only thing we can be relatively sure of is that the caster failed to have her reach the target destination: Celestia is certain having her appear in the wild zone couldn't have been the plan.
** [[FromBadToWorse It gets worse]]. In a setting where the maximum number of unicorns who can truly combine their strength into a single working is three, the summoning seems to have involved ''several dozen casters''. Not only does that potentially imply a cult, but a working which allows that kind of group effort on any spell could take down the Diarchy.

* YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe: Played with, satirized, and ultimately discarded. While Cerea's usual verbal formality is very real, most of the syntax she works with has been picked up from "several hundred stories, most of which had been written by authors who saw [[CriticalResearchFailure research]] as something which only got in the way of a good tale." As a result, her attempt to 'speak properly' in front of the ''Princesses'', processed through the translator, turns into something so severe as to make ''[[AntiquatedLinguistics Luna]]'' tell her to reacquaint herself with the concept of contractions. '''Immediately.''' She's been speaking a little more normally ever since.

* CuteMonsterGirl: Not any more. As far as the locals are concerned, Cerea is a trotting incarnation of the uncanny valley. Everything from the waist ''down'' is perfectly suitable (if somewhat oversized): everything from that point up qualifies for EldritchAbomination.

* AntiMagic: Cerea's only defense, along with being part of the problem in the first place. For some reason, anything plastic which was with her during the transition actively neutralizes any magic it directly touches, for as long as it's in contact. In practical terms, this currently means a few cheap hairpins -- and her ''sword''. Slicing through an active corona projection weakens whoever created it. Just holding the sword against a pony makes them feel ill, and nopony can stand to pick the '''[[InsistentTerminology thing]]''' up in their mouths. (It can't be lifted via corona or teleported, and no pegasus can fly while in contact with it.) The edgeless practice blade has become a very real weapon -- but it's also one of the reasons everypony is so frightened of her: Tirek absorbed magic, while she can attack it directly.
