**Twilight Sparkle** is the central main character of *Friendship is Magic*. She is a female unicorn pony who transforms into an alicorn and becomes a princess in "Magical Mystery Cure". She is also the daughter of Twilight Velvet and Night Light, the younger sister of Shining Armor, and paternal aunt to Flurry Heart.

At the beginning of the series, she and Spike, her best friend and assistant, move from Canterlot to Golden Oak Library in Ponyville to study the magic of friendship, and in "Twilight's Kingdom", she gains her own castle, the Castle of Friendship, and gains the title "Princess of Friendship". Twilight Sparkle represents the element of magic.

Before becoming a princess, she regularly sent friendship reports to Princess Celestia.

## Development and Design

As an Alicorn, Princess Twilight Sparkle is a little taller, her neck is slightly more curved, and her horn is a bit longer than as a unicorn. In the future shown in "The Last Problem", she has grown a lot taller and has a similar design to Princess Celestia, as well as a flowing mane and tail like Celestia and Princess Luna's.

## Depiction in the Series

### History

Twilight Sparkle lived in Canterlot until Princess Celestia sent her to Ponyville. Accompanied by Spike, Twilight checks the town's preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration and meets the rest of the main characters. The celebration is interrupted when Nightmare Moon, Celestia's nemesis, returns to power and threatens to bring eternal night to Equestria. Twilight and the rest of the Mane Six discover the Elements of Harmony and use them to transform Nightmare Moon back into Princess Luna. Princess Celestia gives Twilight permission to remain in Ponyville to study the magic of friendship.

Throughout the series, Twilight learns about the trials and rewards of friendship, periodically sending friendship reports to Princess Celestia. On rare occasions, Twilight and her friends work together to defeat powerful villains such as Discord, Queen Chrysalis, King Sombra, and Lord Tirek.

In "Magical Mystery Cure", Twilight completes an ancient unfinished magic spell with her deep understanding of friendship. Princess Celestia tells Twilight that she is ready for the next stage of her life, and Twilight transforms into an alicorn and gains the title of princess.

Princess Twilight Sparkle becomes the "Princess of Friendship" in the season four episode "Twilight's Kingdom".

In the season nine episode "The Last Problem", she is crowned the new ruler of Equestria, taking Celestia and Luna's place when they retire.

#### Cutie Mark

Twilight tells the Cutie Mark Crusaders how she got her cutie mark in "The Cutie Mark Chronicles". She says that when she was a filly, she studied magic on her own and wanted to attend Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. At the entrance exam, Twilight was told to use magic to hatch Spike's egg, but she was unable to cast a spell. A moment after she gave up, Rainbow Dash's sonic rainboom startled her and caused her magic to go out of control. Princess Celestia witnessed Twilight's magical abilities and made Twilight her personal protégé.

### Personality

#### Sociability and Friendship

Twilight is first introduced in the series as being asocial. She politely refuses an invitation to Moon Dancer's get-together and later states that she and Spike "don't have time for that sort of thing." When Celestia tells her to oversee the arrangements of the Summer Sun Celebration in Ponyville and to try and make friends, Twilight is indifferent to the latter request. Over the course of the series premiere, however, Twilight comes to accept her new friendships and expresses a desire to stay with her new friends in Ponyville.

In "Amending Fences", Twilight returns to Canterlot in an attempt to apologize to her former friends for her past actions. She succeeds with Twinkleshine, Lemon Hearts, and Minuette, but Moon Dancer coldly rebuffs the four mares. Minuette and Twilight liken Moon Dancer's behavior to the way Twilight used to act.

#### Love of books and knowledge

In "Friendship is Magic", Twinkleshine says Twilight is more interested in books than friends. Even after Twilight becomes good friends with the rest of the main characters, she continues to read and consult books. For example, she confidently joins a marathon after reading several books about running in "Fall Weather Friends". She is also very knowledgeable about Equestria's history, as seen in such episodes as "Luna Eclipsed" and "Testing Testing 1, 2, 3".

#### Rationality

Twilight tries to be rational in unfamiliar situations. During the investigation in "Mmmystery on the Friendship Express", Twilight tells Pinkie Pie to stop making wild accusations, and they work together to find clues and solve the mystery.

However, Twilight can lose her cool under stress. In "Swarm of the Century", she hysterically suggests building a replica of Ponyville in less than a minute before Princess Celestia can see the damage done by the parasprite infestation.

In "Lesson Zero", Twilight goes crazy in her attempt to write to Celestia about a friendship problem, to the point of deciding to create a problem herself.

In "The Crystal Empire", she shows a desperate desire to pass a test that Celestia gives her.

Twilight tends to be skeptical of unproven claims, such as her friends' belief that Zecora is an evil enchantress in "Bridle Gossip", and Pinkie Pie's "Pinkie Sense" in "Feeling Pinkie Keen".

In *The Movie*, Twilight rationalizes that outside of Equestria, not every problem can be solved with friendship, especially since a con artist cat almost sells them and they are almost ratted out by a band of parrot pirates. In the underwater kingdom of Seaquestria, she has Pinkie and the rest of her friends act friendly toward the friendless Princess Skystar to serve as a distraction while she attempts to steal the transformation pearl. It is this act that ends up costing the Mane Six's friendship and getting Twilight captured by Tempest Shadow.

### Skills

#### Organization

Twilight shows her knack for organization in "Winter Wrap Up". When the Winter Wrap Up becomes inefficient and uncoordinated, she organizes the teams and ensures that winter is wrapped up on time. Mayor Mare gives Twilight the official title of "All-Team Organizer." Twilight also uses her organization skills in the episodes "Lesson Zero", "Secret of My Excess", and "It's About Time".

#### Teaching

In the episode "Twilight Time", Twilight takes time each week to teach the Cutie Mark Crusaders various skills. She attempts to teach Sweetie Belle to use the telekinetic component of her magic, Apple Bloom how to make botanic growth potions, and Scootaloo how to strip and reassemble various types of scooter and cycle. Twilight is overjoyed when she thinks the other classmates also want to learn new things, but she is disappointed when she finds out that they merely want to spend time with a local celebrity.

Twilight's ability as a teacher is proven in that she succeeds in teaching all three Crusaders the skills she intended to teach them. They all demonstrate a high degree of aptitude at the end of their lessons.

Twilight attempts to teach Rainbow Dash the history of the Wonderbolts, but her methods of study prove futile when Rainbow Dash acts as a class clown in "Testing Testing 1, 2, 3". In "The Cutie Re-Mark", Twilight takes Starlight Glimmer on as a student, and she attempts to give Starlight her first friendship lesson in "The Crystalling" by sending her to reunite with Sunburst. In the end, Twilight laments about her alleged failure, but Spike renews her resolve.

In the season eight premiere, Twilight opens the School of Friendship in order to teach the magic of friendship to all races and spread it across Equestria and beyond. She serves as the school's headmistress, and she and her friends all serve as teachers.

In "A Horse Shoe-In", however, she gives both of her roles to Starlight when being assigned to take Princess Celestia and Princess Luna's places as the future leader of Equestria.

In "The Last Problem", after being crowned as leader of Equestria, Twilight is put in charge of the School for Gifted Unicorns, and helps her future student Luster Dawn realize the importance of friendship in a similar way to learning it herself from Celestia.

### Family

#### Parents

Twilight's parents, Twilight Velvet and Night Light, first appear in "The Cutie Mark Chronicles". In a flashback, they excitedly nod their approval when Princess Celestia offers to make Twilight her apprentice. They later appear in "A Canterlot Wedding", "Magical Mystery Cure", and "The Crystalling".

#### Shining Armor

Twilight reveals that she has an older brother, Shining Armor, in "A Canterlot Wedding". She sings "B.B.B.F.F." ("Big Brother Best Friend Forever"), a song about their close bond and how much she misses him after she moves to Ponyville. Shining Armor, though extremely busy with his duties around the Crystal Empire, still has time for his little sister, whom he calls "Twily".

#### Princess Cadance

Twilight reveals that Princess Cadance was her foal-sitter when she was a filly. At the end of "A Canterlot Wedding", Twilight becomes Cadance's sister-in-law when the latter marries Shining Armor. Twilight enjoys spending time with Cadance as seen in "Three's A Crowd" when Cadance comes to visit her.

#### Flurry Heart

In "The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows", Cadance and Shining Armor surprise Twilight by telling her that they are having a baby, and that she will be an aunt. She is introduced to her new niece Flurry Heart in the season six premiere, and is shocked to see that she is an alicorn. However, Twilight soon becomes very fond of Flurry Heart by the end of "The Crystalling" and looks forward to seeing her in "The Times They Are a Changeling".

In "A Flurry of Emotions", Twilight attempts to spend some time with Flurry, which takes a lot of time out of her busy schedule.

### Hot Air Balloon

Twilight rides a purple hot air balloon in the title sequence, and uses the same balloon to fly with her friends to Cloudsdale for Rainbow Dash's competition in "Sonic Rainboom".

In "The Return of Harmony", the ponies use it to fly with Fluttershy in order to capture the brainwashed Rainbow Dash.

### Crowns, etc.

For the first three seasons of the show, Twilight possesses a crown containing the element of magic. She receives it in "Friendship is Magic" when she defeats Nightmare Moon. The crown is studded with sapphires and a magenta star-shaped gem shaped like Twilight's cutie mark.

After Twilight becomes a princess in "Magical Mystery Cure", she wears a different crown with the element of magic embedded in it. It is a lighter shade of gold, no longer has sapphires, and rests horizontally, not vertically, on Twilight's head. It appears again in "Shadow Play" and "The Beginning of the End".

Twilight relinquishes her crown when she and her friends restore the Elements of Harmony to the Tree of Harmony in "Princess Twilight Sparkle". At the Summer Sun Celebration, she wears a new crown, which has the same shade of gold but looks completely different from her element of magic crown. It has more of a "classic" crown shape, with each point studded with a small magenta jewel. It becomes her regular crown from then onward, as seen in "Trade Ya", "Equestria Games", "Twilight's Kingdom", and "Princess Spike".

In *The Movie*, Twilight wears a somewhat different crown. This crown is destroyed when Tempest Shadow stomps on it.

In "The Last Problem", when Twilight becomes the new ruler of Equestria, she receives Princess Celestia and Princess Luna's merged crown.

The Twilicane, unnamed in the show but named in Enterplay's collectible card game, is a scepter that Discord gives to Twilight in "Princess Twilight Sparkle" as a way of mocking her Princess status. The Twilicane later appears in "Slice of Life", when Lemon Hearts drops it in the path of Vinyl Scratch's mobile DJ station; in "The Gift of the Maud Pie", when Rarity considers it as an option for a gift to Maud; and in "A Royal Problem", when Derpy wields it in a dream.

## Depiction in *The Movie*

In *The Movie*, Twilight organizes the Festival of Friendship in Canterlot. When the city is invaded by the Storm King's forces, led by Tempest Shadow, Twilight and her friends escape to seek out the "Queen of the Hippos" (later specified to be Queen Novo of the Hippogriffs) for help, as per Celestia's instructions. During their journey, they are nearly sold into slavery by Capper and thrown overboard Captain Celaeno's airship. When they find Novo in Seaquestria and she refuses to help save their home, Twilight resorts to attempting to steal her Pearl of Transformation, resulting in her and her friends' banishment from Seaquestria when she gets caught.

After a heated falling-out with her friends, Twilight is captured by Tempest and brought back to Canterlot, where the Storm King uses the Staff of Sacanas to drain her and the other princesses' magic. Twilight saves Tempest from being swept up by the Storm King's tornado when he betrays her, and Twilight's friends arrive to rescue her and liberate Canterlot. Twilight and her friends eventually succeed in defeating the Storm King, and she restores Tempest with the staff after she sacrifices herself to save them from his final attack. In the end, Canterlot is restored, the Friendship Festival resumes, and Twilight and her friends befriend Tempest.
