%%Big Brother Instinct, Big Bad,

----

* TakeOurWordForIt: Amelia refuses to talk about a sequence of events in chapter thirteen (see the Big Lipped Alligator Moment above), either because of how utterly disgusting or completely bizarre it was. Probably both. Amelia even holds true to her word, omitting the scene in the telling of her share of the narrative.

* Tsundere: In Leit Motif's case, it's the traditional kind—where the character starts off pensive and withdrawn and slowly grows out of it.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Quite literally, in fact]]. Apparently the sewers of Mag Mell are populated by singing, soprano-toned alligators.

* TearJerker: There are a couple, but the most notable is the reunion between Daphne and Leit Motif. The perspective of both characters is explored, both of their heartbreak, trauma, and concerns brought out to bear, though {{Your Mileage May Vary}}. [[YouMonster You heartless monster]].

* TraumaInducedAmnesia: After being subjected to her parents' disapproval, the mockery of her classmates, and the clinical expertise of a therapist convincing her that she couldn't have possibly met a unicorn, Daphne's only recourse is to suppress those memories and pretend none of it ever happened.

* TheChosenOne: Subverted and played like a fiddle. [[spoiler: Daphne is actually the {{Big Bad}}'s titular child of prophecy, but he ends up snagging Amelia instead, who turns out to be all sorts of headaches for the Wand goblins. Short term and long term]]. [[spoiler: Of course, Daphne is running straight toward the object of her destiny, the Well of Pirene, in her quest to rescue Amelia]]. [[spoiler: Amelia herself is capable of standing in Daphne's place in the prophecy, and proceeds to do so, Much to nearly everyone's chagrin]].

The story begins late October, 2011 in an unnamed town in Massachusetts, outside of the fictional Everfree State Park. In a bid to entertain her sister while their parents are out of the house for the night, Daphne takes Amelia into Everfree State Park, the very place she met her childhood friend, Leit Motif, a young unicorn filly from the land of
[[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic: Equestria]]. Daphne and Amelia are separated, and both traverse the magical pathways between Everfree State Park and the Everfree Forest of Equestria—Amelia to run away, and Daphne to come after her. The two sisters are swiftly entangled in an ancient prophecy and a twisted plot spanning multiple worlds.

* AntiHero: Amelia. She is manipulative, calculating, far too smart for her own good, uncaring of those around her, and often times entirely hypocritical in her actions. Upon [[spoiler: collecting the Golden Bridle from the Well of Pirene, she essentially goes berserk, becoming a bigger threat than the Big Bad himself]], mostly because she's felt mistreated by the story's various characters. [[PyrrhicVictory Not that she's treated them any better]].

** {{Sixth Ranger Traitor}}: Flash; counterpart to Rainbow Dash. Inverted, as Flash has betrayed the bad guys to join with the protagonists, rather than the other way around.

Through the Well of Pirene is written as a {{First Person Perspective}} following the perspectives of Daphne herself, Amelia, and later Leit Motif upon Daphne’s arrival in Equestria, switching perspectives approximately every chapter to keep the story rolling upon the two girls’ divergant paths. It has many inspirations, including {{Labyrinth}}, {{The Chronicles of Narnia}}, and {{The Lord of the Rings}}, as well as taking inspiration and borrowing elements from Norse, Indian, and other mythologies.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Averted, and promptly lampshaded as being adverted when Amelia crawls out of the sewers in chapter thirteen.
