** Instead
of a horrible evil sealed in Tartarus, Tirek is a benevolent and just ruler known as King Tirek the Selfless whose people are using his Mana Drain spell to transfuse mana from their land to Equestria to help it recover from the evil Princesses' rampage.
** Mirror Gilda is the Captain of the Royal Guard.
** Mirror Starlight Glimmer is not only a very well respected BadassTeacher, but much stronger than her canon counterpart. According to WordOfGod the reason for this is that
prime selves.Starlight never learned more about her Special Talent than she needed for her plans, while Mirror Starlight actively cultivated her power and seeks to aid others in doing the same. So being possibly the most straight example, the only difference is Mirror!Starlight reached her true potential.
** The Sports Trio are intelligent tacticians at sports rather than the Dumb Jocks they are in the main universe.
** The Flim Flam Brothers are the high justices in the entire kingdom.

* ArtifactOfDoom: Mirror Zecora seeks the Alicorn Amulet to launch her attack. Inverted in that the mirror Amulet has the opposite effect of its prime counterpart: the longer its worn, [[VillainousBSOD the more it gives its users empathy and compassion]], so she has to use a ''second'' artifact to block that effect. [[spoiler:Trixie and company swipe the second artifact early in the battle, and spend the rest letting its power take effect.]]

* HypocriticalHeartwarming: As Applejack puts it: no one messes with one of the Mane Six except the rest of the Mane Six. This is especially true of Rainbow Crash, as finding out someone hurt her prompts Applejack to instantly want to beat them up, even if they banished her to the roof.


Added DiffLines:

* MoralityPet: The rest of the Mane Six might still mistreat her, but they all have a soft spot for Rainbow Crash and don't take it well when someone ''else'' is mean to her. Applejack instantly wants to beat up someone who hit her and Pinkamena always patches her up when she's hurt out of concern for her well being.

* EmotionEater: The Changelings feed off of love and the Muse Sisters feed off negative emotions. Sonata refers to them as 'emotovores'. They've both figured out how to feed symbiotically with ponies rather than as parasites.



* SheathYourSword: [[spoiler:How Chrysalis defeats Thorax: she realizes his method of feeding doesn't cure their race's hunger and therefore he's running on limited power. So she stops fighting back and focuses on defense and dodging his attacks until he burns out.]]

Added DiffLines:

* CurbstompBattle: The Muse Sisters delivered one to Chrysalis and her army when she was a WellIntentionedExtremist.
* DarkIsNotEvil:
** The Muse Sisters look and have the exact same powers as their prime counterparts, but are benevolent heroines who use [[EmotionEater their feeding off negative emotions]] to help ponies clear their minds.
** Mirror Chrysalis and the Changelings were born the exact same way as their prime counterparts: from a hideously mutated tree growing out of a dark magic pool. Now Mirror Chrysalis is one of the beloved protectors of the mirror Equestria and her people live in symbiosis with Equestria.

* ForWantOfANail: The nail between Prime Chrysalis and Mirror Chrysalis is actually shown: both were identical when born and had two mutually exclusive instincts. Prime Chrysalis chose the 'survival of the fittest' instinct while Mirror Chrysalis chose to embrace her material instincts.

Added DiffLines:

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Chrysalis was originally one. She only attacked ponies to feed her people and always put their needs ahead of her own, and even targeted evil ponies first to avoid hurting anyone innocent.
