==Description==
===Appearance===
Twilight is a Unicorn (later Alicorn) with light purple fur and an navy blue-colored mane and tail, stylized with rim cuts, and also has two lighter-purple and pink stripes running down both. She also has purple irises and prominent eyelashes, and also, occasionally, thicker eyebrows. She has a moderately-sized horn, which grew in width when she ascended to an Alicorn. Upon her ascension into an Alicorn, Twilight gained wings on her back, and her neck and legs were slightly longer. In the final episode of the series, Twilight becomes much taller than her friends, excluding a now-adult Spike, who is also now taller than the rest of the group. She wears the fused princess crowns into a crown of her own, wears a necklace and high-heel golden shoes, and has become the same height/size and form of Celestia and Luna. Her mane and tail now have also become longer, as well as moving exactly like the former rulers'.
As a human, she wears a blue polo shirt with a pink bow, a purple skirt with her pony counterpart's cutie mark, and purple, pink, and black boots.
===Personality===
Twilight is by default a kind and sweet shy pony but is very strict and orderly. She holds a very high sense of responsibility (almost bordering on OCD) and values hard work and education. She is also extremely organized, having Spike look over her daily checklists three times over. During her childhood and adolescence living in Canterlot, Twilight started as a bit of a loner, valuing schoolwork and education over friendship and social participation, which led to many disappointments from her acquaintances (save for Spike) when they attempted to invite her to join social gatherings and parties, or generally to have fun. After being sent to Ponyville by Celestia on an assignment of overseeing the upcoming Summer Sun Celebration.
Like Pinkie Pie, she's also known to be optimistic, always having a positive and cheerful attitude when it comes to situations and having fun.
In My Little Pony The Movie, after the attack on Canterlot, Twilight became very stubborn and reckless as she believes that the lands beyond Equestria can never have friendship problems that can be solved since a feline con artist tried to sell them and some parrot pirates nearly ratted them out. In Seaquestria, after Queen Novo refuses to give them the transformation pearl, Twilight secretly lets her friends unknowingly act friendly to Princess Skystar and Queen Novo while she tries to steal the pearl.
Her selfish mistake got them banished from Seaquestria and Pinkie and the others chastises Twilight for trying to steal the seaponies' pearl, and Twilight chastises her friends by pointing out that they are no better than her and said that using their regular methods outside of Equestria won't work, as Twilight realized what she just said and regrets it and tries to take it back but Pinkie, who was heartbroken by Twilight's words, walks off and that caused her friends to wrongly separate from her even when she felt sorry for what she just said (after Twilight accidentally yells that she would've been better without friends like them), but they should never have done that because it made Twilight finally getting captured by Tempest Shadow. 
However after her friends realize their terrible mistake, they return to save her, she apologizes to them and the others apologized too for their foolishness when they should've focused their grudge on the Storm King. Then they all fight against him by trying to get the staff and with Tempest's help they defeated him and Twilight made friends with Tempest and possibly befriends everyone that she never made friends with.

==Quotes==
==Trivia==
*Season 1 is the only season where Twilight appears and has a speaking role in every episode.
**She is one of two members of the Mane Six to appear and have a speaking role in every episode of a season; the other being Applejack.
*Twilight has appeared in the following episodes without any of the other Mane Six: Hearts and Hooves Day, Princess Spike, The Times They Are a Changeling, A Royal Problem, Triple Threat, Once Upon a Zeppelin, Uncommon Bond, Surf and/or Turf, The Parent Map, Road to Friendship, and The Point of No Return.
**Out of all the Mane Six, she has the most amount of solo episodes.
*Twilight is the only member of the Mane Six who doesn't age in appearance in the future. 
**This is most likely owing to her having immense magic and slowed down aging after ascending Princess Celestia and Princess Luna's throne.
*Twilight is the last character to speak in the series.
*In addition to Twilight, Tara Strong also voiced Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie in the early test pilot episode from 2009; My Little Pony: Adventures.
*Jessica DiCicco does the voice of Twilight Sparkle, as well as the rest of the Main Six, in Hello Pinkie Pie.
