Background

Twilight Sparkle lived in Canterlot until Princess Celestia sent her to Ponyville. Accompanied by her friend Spike the Dragon, she checked preparations for the summer festival of the Sun and along the way met Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Rarity. The celebration was cut short when Nightmare Moon, Celestia's nemesis, returned to power and threatened to bring eternal night to Equestria. Twilight and her five friends discovered the Elements of Harmony and used them to transform Nightmare Moon back into Princess Luna. Princess Celestia allowed Twilight to come to Ponyville to study the magic of friendship. Throughout her journey, Twilight learns about the trials and rewards of friendship, and periodically sends friendship reports to Princess Celestia. On rare occasions, Twilight and her friends have worked together to defeat powerful villains such as Discord, Queen Chrysalis and King Sombra.

History of receiving a cutie mark

When Twilight was a little filly, she studied magic on her own and wanted to attend Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. During the entrance exam, Twilight was told to use magic to help Spike the dragon hatch from an egg, but she couldn't find the right spell. Moments after she gave up, Rainbow Dash's Sonic Rainbow scared her and caused her magic to go out of control. Princess Celestia witnessed Twilight's magical abilities and made her her personal protégé.

sociability and friendship

Twilight was an antisocial pony at first. She politely declined an invitation to Moondancer's party, saying that she and Spike didn't have time for such things. When Celestia told her to oversee the preparations for Ponyville's Summer Sun Festival and try to make friends, Twilight was outraged by the latter request. However, over time, Twilight accepted her new friendship and expressed her desire to stay with her new friends in Ponyville.

Love of books and knowledge

Previously, her old friend Twinkleshine often said that she was more interested in books than friends. Even after Twilight met her friends, she continues to read books. She once confidently joined a marathon after reading several books about running in fall weather with friends. She is also knowledgeable about the history of Equestria.

Rationality

Twilight Sparkle tries to be rational in unfamiliar situations. One day, when someone ruined Pinkie Pie's cake on the train, she told her to stop making wild accusations and worked with her to find clues and solve the mystery. However, Twilight can lose her composure when under stress. One day during the Parasprite attack on Ponyville, she hysterically proposed to build an exact replica of Ponyville in less than a minute before Princess Celestia could see the damage caused by the Parasprite invasion. Another time, she went crazy trying to text Celestia about a friendship problem, to the point where she decided to create the problem herself. During her mission in the Crystal Empire, she showed a desperate desire to pass the test that Celestia gave her. Twilight tends to be skeptical of unproven claims, such as when her friends mistook Zecora the zebra for an evil witch. Twilight has an irrational fear of quesadillas and a fear of ladybugs that comes from her youth.

Organization

Twilight has a knack for organizing, which she first demonstrated in Winter Wrap Up. When the winter wrap-up becomes ineffective and uncoordinated, she organizes teams and makes sure the winter ends on time. Mayor Mane gives Twilight the official title of "Team Organizer".

Education

Teaches Cutie Mark Crusaders various skills once a week. She tries to teach Sweetie Belle the simple basics of magic, such as telekinesis, Apple Bloom to make potions for plant growth, and Scootaloo to assemble and disassemble different types of scooters and bicycles. Twilight's abilities as a teacher are proven by her successfully teaching all three Crusaders the skills she intended to teach them. They all demonstrate a high degree of ability at the end of their lessons.

Magic

Twilight Spark is exceptionally talented in magic. Even Princess Celestia says that she has never seen a unicorn with such raw powers. Here are some of her most famous spells: She can cast a spell that allows non-Pegasus ponies to walk on clouds, an ability that only Pegasus ponies naturally possess. She can also conjure butterfly wings made from spider webs and morning dew. She can turn an apple into a carriage and mice into horses. She knows the spell "want it, need it" to make a certain thing desirable to everyone who sees it. She can go back in time. She can turn an apple into an orange and vice versa. She can use King Sombra's dark magic. She can use hardwired spells, a teleportation spell, a freeze spell, a spell that turns her and others into a breeze, a voice enhancement spell, she can use a horn as a tape recorder, However, despite her talents, her spells can sometimes misfire or fail. When casting spells, her horn usually glows white or the same shade as her fur, and objects she manipulates glow white, lavender, or pink. When she manipulates multiple objects at once, several other colors are also used.

Relationships with family

Shining Armor He and Twilight share a close bond and Twilight misses him greatly after moving to Ponyville. Shining Armor, although extremely busy with his duties in the Crystal Empire, still finds time for his little sister, whom he calls "Twily". The two have had a friendly rivalry in the form of a "sibling superiority" competition since they were foals. Spike The young dragon Spike is Twilight's adopted younger brother. Spike serves as Twilight's number one assistant and sends her letters to Princess Celestia for her friendship lessons. Spike says that he always considered Twilight Sparkle and Shining Armor to be his brother and sister, and they also consider Spike their little brother. Princess Cadence Princess Cadence was her nanny when she was a filly, and the two of them have a common rhyme they often greet each other with: "Sunshine, sunshine, ladybugs awake! Clap your hooves and do a little shake!" After Shining Armor and Cadence's wedding, Twilight becomes her sister-in-law. Twilight enjoys spending time with Cadence when she comes to visit her. Thanks to her brother's marriage to Princess Cadance, Twilight was inducted into the royal family.
