** Connection. Although perhaps no great surprise as a theme for a work based on ''Friendship is Magic'', the story places greater emphasis on a [[HyperLinkStory holistic]] [[OneDegreeOfSeparation worldview]], in which everyone's actions affect someone else, however modestly. Loneliness and the desire for connection lies also at the heart of various characters, but none less so than all three Alicorn Sisters in different ways -- right down to how Celestia and Luna never knew about Galena, yet she knew of and long wished to meet them.

** Princesses Celestia and Luna were raised as infants by the Reindeer King, Sint Erklass, whom they nevertheless refer to by his common honorific of "Grandfather", rather than their father. The Alicorn Sisters, including Galena, were created long ago by Lady Tau Sunflare, effectively their mother. Of the three alicorns, Princess Luna was the one to have borne children and produced a dynasty, yet she prefers for her grand-daughter Cadance to call her "Aunt", same as Celestia. As it happens, Luna's husband was a Blueblood, although the present-day Prince Astron Blueblood is not descended from her. While Celestia herself never had children, she did take on the orphaned Sunset Shimmer as her adoptive daughter, as well as personal student; when Cadance was brought into Celestia's household, Sunset and she came to see each other as sisters. Lastly, when Spike was hatched, he was raised by the family of Celestia's new student, Twilight Sparkle, as a little brother, but Celestia considers him her godson. Got all that?

* TangledFamilyTree: The Equestrian Royal Family, as it turns out, typically by virtue of adoption.
** Princesses Celestia and Luna were raised as infants by the Reindeer King, Sint Erklass, whom they nevertheless refer to by his common honorific of "Grandfather", rather than their father. The Alicorn Sisters, including Galena, were created long ago by Lady Tau Sunflare, effectively their mother. Of the three alicorns, Princess Luna was the one to have borne children and produced a dynasty, yet she prefers for her grand-daughter Cadance to call her "Aunt", same as Celestia. As it happens, Luna's husband was a Blueblood, although the present-day Prince Astron Blueblood is not descended from her. While Celestia herself never had children, she did take on the orphaned Sunset Shimmer as her adoptive daughter, as well as personal student; when Cadance was brought into Celestia's household, Sunset and she came to see each other as sisters. Lastly, when Spike was hatched, he was raised by the family of Celestia's new student, Twilight Sparkle, as a little brother, but Celestia considers him her godson. Got all that?
