History Fanfic / LeastNoticeableAndLittleFlappy

* PrehensileHair: All Earth Ponies have this, and the Daughters of Paradise take it UpToEleven (as shown in canon with Pinkie Pie). Claire's hair is of course fluffier, longer and even more prehensile than is even the case with "normal" Daughters Of Paradise.

An incomplete MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic novella written by [[http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Jordan179 Jordan179]] in 2014. Claire "Least Noticeable" Pie, Pinkie's gigantic invisible twin sister, is lonely because she's too big, too invisible and too strange to fit in with other Ponies, even in the odd little hill town of Dunnich. When a strange flappy thing falls wounded from the sky, she rescues him, gaining a new friend. What will happen when Little Flappy gets better and has to go home?

A sequel of sorts to Fanfic/AnExtendedPerformance (it continues from the Dunnich segments), and takes place at the same time as MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E5GriffonTheBrushOff.

* [[AbhorrentAdmirer Abhorrent Admirers]]: Though Claire is lonely, she's not lonely enough to keep company with the evil cultists who are fascinated by her nature as a [[HalfHumanHybrid Half-Equid Hybrid]] EldritchAbomination, and probably want to use her for dark purposes of their own.
-->The very few Ponies who were attracted to her all seemed unwholesome to her emotion-sense; she feared they wanted her for immoral and perhaps apocalyptic purposes. They mostly slunk into town in long black cloaks and hissed at her in languages she did not want to understand of vile secrets involving creatures far less friendly than Paradise, asking her to perform favors for them which were entirely out of the question.

-->Claire had been brought up to be a nice mare and a good Pony: she didn't want to get involved with anyponies like those creeps. No Ma'am!

* DyingTown: Dunnich, because the railroad passed it by. The reason was noted by Princess Luna in Fanfic/AllTheWayBack.
* [[{{Expy}} Expies]]: Five obvious ones, all inverted to sympathetic characters.

* [[HerosFirstRescue Heroine's First Rescue]]: When Claire sees Little Flappy being attacked in midairby a big wyrm-like creature of Shadow, she first drives off the attacker with her [[ThePowerOfLove love]] [[CareBearStare beam]], then [[{{Teleportation}} teleports]] over to the fallen flappy thing, grabs him with her multiple tongues and carries him back to [[WhiteMage Granny Pie]] to receive medical treatment. As the title of the story suggests, this deed is significant to Claire's future.
* [[HalfHumanHybrid Half-Equid Hybrid]]: Claire, Pinkie Pie and the other Daughters of Paradise were sired by Paradise, an extradimensional being of Cosmic level power. Pinkie looks mostly like a normal Pony. Claire ... does not.

-->She couldn't even go inside and be with other ponies at their festivals. None of the buildings in Dunnich, not even the Town Hall, was big enough for her now-gigantic form. And she couldn't dance at them, not even outdoors -- a couple of near-tragedies had made her realize that somepony who could crush a house in an act of clumsiness should neither dance around normal-sized Ponies nor even their structures. Sometimes she would stand at a window and watch a party, but never in town -- things were just too crowded there for her ungainly form.

-->Romance and marriage seemed out of the question for her. By her nature she was able to love anything sentient, of any sex, but there was no suitable creature for her to court. Normal Ponies, even those who knew and liked her, were not attracted to a huge invisible fluffy pony, especially one overendowed with heads and eyes and tongues.

* [[TownWithADarkSecret Town With a Strange Secret]]: Dunnich, whose secret is that the Friends of Paradise are in contact with an actual extradimensional entity, Paradise. The deeper secret is that Paradise is the collective intelligence of The World That Was Lost. The reason for keeping this secret is plain from Fanfic/NightmaresAreTragic: namely, Paradise fears that the Cosmics might hunt it down if they knew that it had survived their attempt to destroy it in the vanished timeline.
* [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman What Measure Is A Non-Equid?]]: Claire is a monstrous [[HalfHumanHybrid Half-Equid Hybrid]], while Little Flappy is a straight-out interstellar alien.
* WhiteMage: Based on her portrayal both here and in AnExtendedPerformance, Granny Pie fits the bill: her magic seems focused on dispelling evil, healing and protection spells.

* AffectionateParody: Not only is the whole concept of Paradise and its Daughters a parody of ''Literature/TheDunwichHorror'', but the story is obviously a take-off on the work of Creator/HPLovecraft and AugustDerleth in a more general sense. The author is known to be a huge CthulhuMythos fan.

* CuteMonster: Claire is a huge, invisible and multi-headed creature who is essentially a ShoutOut to Wilbur Whateley's Twin from HPLovecraft's ''Literature/TheDunwichHorror''. She is also a sweet, kind and innocent mare who wishes good-will to all other sapient life, and is willing to befriend a creature more alien to Ponykind than she is herself.

* ShoutOut: To HPLovecraft's ''TheDunwichHorror''. [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] because the [[{{Expy}} Expies]] of Yog-Sothoth, Wizard Whateley, Lavinia Whateley, Wilbur Whately and Wilbur's Twin -- Paradise, Granny Pie, Cloudy Quartz, Claire Pie and Pinkie Pie -- are all good guys.
