**Twilight Velvet**, also called **Mrs. Sparkle**, is a female unicorn. She is Night Light's wife, Twilight Sparkle and Shining Armor's mother, and Flurry Heart's grandmother. She first appeared in "The Cutie Mark Chronicles", and has made very few appearances in the show since. She is named varyingly in credits, merchandise, and other depictions.

Her mane and tail bear a slight resemblance to those of her daughter.

## Depiction in the Series

Her first appearance is in Twilight Sparkle's flashback in "The Cutie Mark Chronicles". She shows a filly Twilight her enrollment letter into Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, and she is also present at her entrance exam into the school. When Twilight loses control of her magic as a result of the sonic rainboom, she is briefly transformed into an agave. When Princess Celestia calms Twilight down, she returns to normal. She is then seen urging her daughter to accept Celestia's offer to be her personal student.

### Season Two

Twilight Velvet appears again in "A Canterlot Wedding", attending the wedding between her son Shining Armor and Princess Cadance. She is seen crying tears of pride over her son getting wed.

### Season Three

She makes another appearance in "Magical Mystery Cure" at Twilight Sparkle's princess coronation.

### Season Six

She next appears in "The Crystalling" visiting Flurry Heart. In this appearance, she has spoken dialogue, and her aura color is different.

### Season Seven

Twilight Velvet appears in "Once Upon a Zeppelin", where they win a free zeppelin cruise with their family from a contest they didn't enter. The family soon discover that the cruise is actually a themed experience hosted by Iron Will where ponies pay to spend time with Twilight Sparkle and Cadance. It is shown that Velvet enjoys activities such as bungee jumping and barrel riding.

### Season Nine

In "Sparkle's Seven", Twilight Velvet appears in flashback, tallying the scores for Twilight Sparkle and Shining Armor's competitions.

In "The Point of No Return", she appears in Twilight's macaroni art family portrait.

In "The Ending of the End", she takes shelter with other unicorns inside the School for Gifted Unicorns as Canterlot closes itself off from the other pony races. Later, she takes part in the final battle against Queen Chrysalis, Lord Tirek, and Cozy Glow.

In "The Last Problem", she attends Twilight's coronation ceremony. She also briefly appears in Twilight's group shot during "The Magic of Friendship Grows".

### IDW Comics

Twilight Velvet appears in the fourth story arc ("Neigh Anything") of the IDW comics' main comic series with spoken lines. She leaves a filly Twilight Sparkle in the care of her foal-sitter Cadance while they attend Shining Armor's flugelhorn recital. Twilight Velvet is shown to have a tendency of smothering her son with affection, calling him "Shiny". Shining Armor's flashback in Issue #11 implies Twilight Velvet to have what could be "a Daring Do Award for Authors... or an award for a book about the character rather than the DD series..."

On *Friends Forever* Issue #3 cover A, a list for Twilight's birthday party includes what appears to be the names of Twilight Velvet and Night Light.

Twilight Velvet appears in *Friendship is Magic* Issue #40, visiting Twilight at school and meeting Spike.

On *Deviations* page 1, she and Night Light are turned into plants during Twilight's school entrance exam, similarly to in "The Cutie Mark Chronicles", but this time retaining their manes and faces.

She also appears on page 24 of the *Holiday Special 2017* comic.

In *Ponyville Mysteries* Issue #2, she appears on the Canterlot bowling team on page 13.

## Merchandise

A glittery Twilight Velvet mini-figure toy and collector card were released in May 2012 as part of the fourth wave of mystery packs.

Card #66 C of the Enterplay collectible card game's expansion set Canterlot Nights gives Twilight Velvet the description "Her son was Captain of the Guard in Canterlot, and is now Prince of the Crystal Empire. Her daughter was personal protégé of Princess Celestia, and is now a princess in her own right. Twilight Velvet deserves to be proud!"

Twilight Velvet is shown on Acidfree's first art print.
