Twilight Sparkle



Today we are going to evaluate this unicorn named Twilight Sparkle. She is the main character of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, as we usually follow her daily routines in Ponyville.

Lets talk color for a moment. Her main color is a slight purple with a dark purple outline, with some violet color in her mane and tail. She also has a pure purple and pink streak through her mane and tail. Her eyes are purple as well. Now, something to say about this. Twilight's colors are a mixture of details, even if there are only plain colors. You can easily search her out in a crowd, since she seems to be one of the only ponies who is pure purple in Ponyville. Plus, she is the only one with the mane style that she has. Other ponies have Time Turner (Doctor Whooves) "hair", or even Lyra or Bon-Bon hair. Twilight Sparkle is unique in this way. But one thing that concerns me is the noticeable change in Twilight from town to town. She used to live in Canterlot, correct? I am wondering how she never took on the lifestyle of fancy ponies, since everytime we see Canterlot everypony is all dressed up for occasion. Maybe her parents were poor? Maybe she didn't need to dress up, since she was always in the library? Who knows. Not even her cutie mark story tells much about her previous lifestyle before Ponyville.

Now lets go onto the beginning of MLP: FiM. You know, Season 1. This beginning song really peeves me. The theme already shows whom her friends are going to be, and exactly what the new town looks like and what the personalities of all of her friends are going to be. I like mystery, and with this give-away, all you are waiting for is how Twilight meets the other "Mane Five". In the theme song, you can see Rainbow Dash fly away extremely fast, and even in the beginning of the song you see Dash fly through the clouds. One thing that I saw here was that Twilight came down to Ponyville by Air Balloon, but instead she arrives by a royal chariot. Maybe this was removed to make sense for the plot? This balloon was used later in Sonic Rainboom, episode 16 of Season 1, but in the other seasons I did not see the balloon again. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Also in Season 1, this just introduces Twilight Sparkle and her new best friends, and shows her letters to Princess Celestia. At the end of Season 2 and in Season 3, she no longer writes letters, which I quite like, and they follow other ponies as well, even though I think Hasbro wanted to follow Twilight only.

I quite like the character Twilight, and even though some un-successful spells are really stupid, I still think that it was a great choice. But before I go, I would like to explain the species that Twilight is. She is a unicorn, correct? So, therefore Rarity is the only other unicorn, and Dash and Fluttershy are both pegasi, and Pinkie and Applejack are both Earth ponies. But Twilight Sparkle recently became Princess Twilight Sparkle, which I will explain probably next. The thing I want to say about this is that now Rarity is the only unicorn, and it makes the entire Mane Six unequal now that Sparkle (anypony else think that sounds strange?) is a Alicorn. This may have been a good idea, but now it gives a hint that Celestia only planned out Twilight's friends, and didn't care for them as much as Twilight Sparkle, since she only visits her. Yes, I get that Twilight is her student, but I think the others should've been given special priveledges as well. But, Princess Celestia has her ways.

This is all I have to say for Twilight Sparkle. I shall continue new evaluations of each character, and I may do relationship evaluations as well if wanted by the readers out there. I will see you next time, and have a magical life!
