In the pilot episode, "Friendship is Magic'," Twilight learns of nightmare Moon's return after being banished into the moon for a thousand years.

### Official Description

*Dutiful and intelligent, Twilight Sparkle is obsessed with one thing: studying magic! She once studied so much, she made no time for anypony else. That is until her mentor, Princess Celestia charged her with the study of a special kind of magic--- friendship! Newly converted to the joys of having friends, she uses her knowledge and unusually powerful gift for magical spells to help her companions in Ponyville. Though sometimes she gets on her "high horse" about what's right or wrong, her eagerness to learn and lend a helping hoof endear her to her new friends in Ponyville, and when the going gets tough, her big brain and love for her friends transform her into a natural born leader!*

### Personality

Out of all her friends, Twilight uses her reationalizing skills to come up with perfect explanations as to why certain events play out.

Twilight has a very strong friendship with her closest friends. Initially, she didn't understand what friendship was until she met other members of the Mane Six.   According to her in "The Times They Are A Changeling," as the princess of Friendship, she has to spread it throughout Equestria but also points out that sometimes, she needs to learn more about Friendship after witnessing Spike stand up for his friend Thorax the Changeling She also befriended Starlight Glimmer after learning her past and forgave her for her misdeeds about traveling in the past and also forgave Discord for his betrayal, showing she indeed is quite forgiving.

She is also very knowledgeable about Equestria's history, as seen in such episodes as Luna Eclipsed and Testing Testing 1, 2, 3. She almost passes out when she finds out that the Canterlot Library has a restricted section in My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Forgotten Friendship.
