Tropes/Irony

## Multi-Arc

* Melody may look like a 12 year-old (before the rewritten timeline, that is), but she does ***NOT*** like being called one... or a "baby girl." However, she doesn't mind her father calling her his "baby girl" at points.
* The Taisha are shown to be incompetent cowards themselves, yet put primarily young creatures no older than their teens and sometimes as young as 8 or 9 on the front lines against evil... especially when they arrange for the Shinju to essentially "eat" Cynthia - a 14 year-old girl - *alive*.
* Unlike the Cheerfulverse (as well as its crossovers), despite the confirmation that Brock and Misty are Chosen Ones, the two Gym Leaders-turned-Heroes do not travel with the group. Why? *Because the creators decided to take a different approach.*
* As she is part of the group, Nova often encounters the villainous quartet... yet for currently unknown production-wise reasons, she and the Taisha are physically incapable of speaking, writing, messaging, or otherwise communicating what happened to Katrina or who Event Horizon is unless the Magis discover this information themselves or are directly told it by Queen Vera, and in the latter's case, part of their memories are gone.
* Despite being created by the Light of Hope, Melody was not chosen by it and thus cannot use its power in any way.
* Arcturus often belittles his adult sons and is generally a massive jerk to them, despite the fact that it was his choice to have so many sons in the first place.
* Pure Mikos, like all Magis when transformed, still have enhanced physical abilities and invulnerability despite having no combat power, but often stay on the sidelines despite this.
* Event Horizon doesn't even know her true name - her fake memories make it so that she thinks she's always been named Event Horizon and has worked for Queen Vera her whole life.
* Magic is public in the series and secret identities do no exist, yet there *are* two magical individuals who hide their true nature:
	+ For obvious reasons, Queen Vera keeps Event Horizon's real name and true identity a secret from the Magis to keep them from saving her. When she accidentally lets it slip after killing Melody's Pokémon in "Melody's Concert: Queen Vera Attacks" by accidentally calling her by her real name, the Magis are horrified and begin to wonder how to save her. Event Horizon herself is known to the public.
	+ Nova's identity as a magical girl is public knowledge, but she keeps her true nature as the Light of Hope from Katrina's mind and heart (which is a fairly small quantity) disguised as a human secret from the other Magis and the public to prevent a media frenzy that would inevitably reveal this information to Queen Vera and result in her capturing her to use her power.
* The Light of Hope still exists as normal despite simeltaneously existing in the form a 14 year-old girl, who herself is a small amount from one individual, yet said small amount is part of the whole force, yet she is a Messiah and is unable to transform unless it (which is *herself*) grants her the ability. Essentially: she/it (as her real form) is in all living things everywhere at once yet has a physical human body and originates from the heart of *one person*, survives without a soul despite having a physical human body, can still become a witch despite Chaos being the LoH's opposite, requires herself to transform, and wields herself.
	+ Even more ironic is just the fact that *a sentient cosmic force is a magical girl and has a Harmony Gem, phone, and Power Necklace.*
* Although there are no secret identities, the Magis' hair still usually changes style, length, and color when they transform much like the *Pretty Cure* franchise, and their eyes also often change color, even though in said franchise, the girls' longer and brightly colored hair is meant to serve as a disguise.
* Young people fighting in dresses/fancy outfits and often high heels. To be fair, however, if an adult was offered the opportunity to fight monsters in a frilly pink tutu, hairbows, and red Mary Janes, they would most likely dismiss it as ridiculous, though the Magis do continue to transform and fight into adulthood. This is also mildly reflected in the fact that Marian's (besides her wings, pigtails, and simple antenna headband) and Melissa's magical outfits aren't as frilly or detailed as their younger teammates, meaning they subconsciously wanted plainer, more "grown-up" outfits (though it is unknown if this is the case for Robin Hood, who is *27*.)
	+ Most Chosen One Ponies, however, are young adults, and don't mind, though this may be because they're already naturally brightly-colored.
* Melody thinks that making a wish would cause her soul to be separated from her body and that her Harmony Gem will become a Soul Gem. She finally realizes this error when Akamine makes her wish in the first chapter of *Cherry Magica 2*, although she prefers not to make a wish herself anytime soon anyways.
* Jill and Jeremy are not a duo despite being twins. This is also the case for Sparkle Hope and Twilight Twinkle (for obvious reasons), Jim and June, Hilda and Rosa, and Hilbert and Nate, yet Twinkledee and Twinkledum (who are fraternal male-female twins like Jeremy and Jill) *are* a duo.
* Event Horizon sometimes makes fun of Nanette's purple hair in magical girl form despite having purple hair herself.

## Nina Magica

* Atalef doesn't have bat wings despite her name meaning "bat" in Hebrew.

## Bailey Magica

* Behaver refuses to suck up Dragonet's love *despite that being the love she wants*. She also only likes platonic love - when she steals love from a married couple, for example, she immediately coughs in disgust and quickly returns it.

## May Magica

* In Part B of "The Crystal Empire!" Pinkie Pie, Kendall, and Nova all whine about wanting a flugelhorn, despite the fact that the last one could just create one if she wanted (though for obvious reasons, she doesn't.)

## Nanette Magica

* Unlike her canon counterpart, Sarah (later Teryn) decides that it's pointless to nickname her shotgun. Why? *Because the name "Shirogane" goes to Perserver!Gina.*
* After Gina dies, Cheren cries and pleads for a miracle, but none occurs. Unbeknowest to him, one of his friends is the Light of Hope in disguise, but she can't revive Gina since doing so would blow her cover.

## Lillie Magica

* Although her theme colors are pink and green, Mallow's Harmony Mark doesn't have any green on it.
* When Nanette returns to the Pokémon School after the weekend in the equivalent chapter to "The Good Ol' Raise and Switch!"...
	+ *Marina: **Why do you have another Amaura? I thought you had to catch only one of each Pokémon!***
	+ *Nanette: **If this were a Nuzlocke, I wouldn't get an extra.***

* Yvonne often acts like how Rei does to Usagi in SM (teasing, belittling, and acting like a Jerka\*\*), but like Rei, it is shown multiple times she does care about her friends, and three arcs later in "Destruction Around the Corner," it is her who Elizabeth holds and begs not to go as she's dying after Queen Vera takes her soul.

## Rosie Magica

* Angela has the Divinity's power... yet is a pure Miko who can't use it for combat, despite still having healing abilities untransformed. To make up for it, she can instead use a giant magical dome shield.
* Despite what their names might suggest, Twinkledum is female and Twinkledee is male.
