No potholing trope names. Justified only applies if for in-universe reasons.


* [[FantasyForbiddingParent Fantasy-Forbidding Big Sister]]: Katherina insisted that Moon not continue her studies of magic, claiming it to be too dangerous.

* {{Retcon}}: The Diamond Dogs were shown to have a kingdom named "Diamondia" in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendsForeverIssue6 Friends Forever Issue #6]]. Not only that, but said kingdom had no rulers at all, leading them to make Trixie their queen. Here, they have a kingdom known as "Caninia", with six royal sisters, and not a mention of Diamondia. Considering that this is part of the season 10 story arc and how the comics are only loosely-canon, it could be jsutified.

* AppealToTradition: Katherina refuses to allow Moon to study magic, or Amber to redecorate the castle, by invoking this.
* BerserkButton: When Rarity suggests that Katherina's nickname is "Kat", the queen reacts angrily, saying "That word is forbidden in this kingdom".

* ContinuityNod: The Equestrian breed of Diamond Dogs are briefly mentioned, and referred to as the Caninian branch's "distant cousins".

* [[FantasyForbiddingParent Fantasy-Forbidding Big Sister]]: Katherina insisted that Moon not continue her studies of magic, claiming it to be too dangerous. She also tried to forbide Amber's tastes in decoration and fashion, and Jenn's love of exploration, out of her being a stickler for tradition.

* IllGirl: Jenn is suffering from an illness she developed during the mining of the new cavern.
* MagicStaff: Moon carries one, which she puts to good use in the caverns.
* MiserableMassage: Big Mac is shown receiving one at the royal spa, courtesy of a very burly Diamond Dog.
* NotSoStoic: Big Mac positively {{Squee}}s when she sees that Jenn's side of Caninia has an orchard of golden apples.
* {{Retcon}}: The Diamond Dogs were shown to have a kingdom named "Diamondia" in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendsForeverIssue6 Friends Forever Issue #6]].

* SequelHook: The final panel of the annual features the device from the end of "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDWIssue89To92 The Farasian Shores]]", now with three lights glowing. An off-screen voice states that it's time to call the "Knights of Harmony".
* ShoutOut: The Diamond Dog operating the mine cart says "Go, cart, go", a nod to the classic ''Go, Dog, Go'' book.
* SiblingRivalry: Between two of the royal Diamond Dog sisters with two of their sisters following one of them and two staying with the other.other.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Defied; with the exception of Amber and Fiona (who are twins), the royal sisters don't look anything like each other.
* SuperEmpowering: When the royal sisters connect to the Tree of Harmony, they gain new abilities. Moon gains [[FastTunnelling enchanced digging abilities]], Jenn can [[LightEmUp produce light]], Indy gains enhanced vision, etc...
* ThereIsAnother: A Tree of Harmony is discovered deep beneath Caninia, with the royal sisters being its Elements of Harmony; Moon is the Element of Magic, Indy is Honesty, Amber is Kindness, Fiona is Laughter, Jenn is Genorosity, and Katherina is Loyalty.
* ThisIsMySide: The conflict between Jenn and Katherina lead Jenn to take Moon and Amber and build their own castle on the other side of Caninia (conveniently seperated by a gorge). After the two sides reconcile (and the old castle is destroyed), the sisters all decide to live together in the new castle.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Amber and Fiona. While Amber wears a fancy dress, Fiona wears a simple vest.
* UnreliableNarrator: During her letter to Twilight, Rarity states that Big Mac is missing Apple Bloom, but it's hardly noticeable unless one pays attention. This is in the same panel as Big Mac loudly bawling "I miss Apple Bloom!"
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: The Carbunkappas were only fulfilling their need to feed, but in doing so inadvertantly caused Jenn to fall ill, and compromised the foundations of the kingdom's original castle.
