* [[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 an extradimensional being, 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!

* IJustWantToBeNormal: Though Claire likes herself and her powers, she sometimes wishes she could have a more normal life -- impossible for her, given her size, shape and invisibility:
-->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.

* TheChosenOne: Both Claire Pie and her twin sister Pinkie Pie were born for a special purpose, and since they are Ponies, they realize this the day they get their Cutie Marks:
-->It had been around that time, many years ago, when she and her twin sister Pinkamena, who looked much more like a normal Pony than did Claire, had gotten their cutie marks, on the day that that Sonic Rainboom had stressed the local fabric of spacetime and temporarily admitted certain influences, including that of their sire. That day Paradise had embraced them and whispered into their minds, vouchsafing to them the secrets of their destiny, though neither of them was yet old enough to understand it. Claire's was to be the Opener of the Way; while Pinkie's was to be the Messenger of Paradise. That, too, was what their cutie marks were telling them.
