Hasbro can be unpredictable; apparently, for the Hot Topic cover for issue 5, Amy Mebberson wanted to draw Trixie holding up a sword (to more closely mirror the scene in one of the Lord of the Rings movies with Gandalf and the Balrog, or so I heard) but Hasbro nixed the idea, because apparently they said something along the lines of "ponies and swords don't mix". So that's why she's holding up a staff.
