====Earliest adventures====
[[File:FF4 Young Twi.jpg|thumb|200px|A young Twilight and Shining Armor tracking monsters]]
At a young age, Twilight Sparkle loved to team up with Shining Armor to track down monsters, ghosts, creatures and other oddities in the forest and countryside. Even as a filly, Twilight was incredibly punctual and learned in the arts of tracking and had their entire monster manual memorized to the point where she had a near photographic memory of the book. During one of their adventures, Twilight and Shining Armor were hunting a [[Wood Sprite]]. Shining Armor encouraged her to try and get her cutie mark in monster tracking, something Twilight was all for. During their expedition, the two hide in a bush near a cave.
Line 19 ⟶ 20:
The two brainstorm over all the possibilities of what could be in such a cave, with Shining Armor suggesting it could be a [[Troll]] or [[Quarray Eels]], Twilight shoots back with suggesting it could be [[Spider Monsters|Giant Monsters]] or even a [[Crystal Ghost]]. It's clear that whatever the beast is, it has their utmost attention. While the two are discussing, they are suddenly startled when they hear a loud noise come from the dark cave. The both of them slowly debate who should go first, Twilight volunteering because she wants to learn how to scout, with Shining Armor volunteering because he's older. Their debates are cut short when their bravery runs out and the two make a run for it. Although this incident scared them straight, it did not turn them away from monster tracking entirely and both held strong nostalgic and sentimental feelings towards the experience even years later. Twilight kept her book, while Shining Armor kept the Net Twilight used in her adventures.<ref name="FF14"/>

It was a dream come true.<ref name = TCMC/>...With one itsy little problem. She had to pass an entrance exam to pass. The exam was to hatch a Dragons egg. Although nervous in her abilities, Twilight didn't give up. Her parents watched on, tears of pride and joy as their daughter took the exam. She tried casting spells on the egg, warming the egg, casting spells on it again. All the while she was being rushed by a group of rather impatient ponies. Later on, Twilight is about to give up and apologizes for wasting their time when she hears a massive noise off in the distance. This causes her magic to charge. With this newly found power, she zaps the egg, making it hatch, freeing the dragon on the inside. In doing so, she scares her parents and herself as she's still supercharged on magic. Still while in this state, she's confronted by Princess Celestia, who calms her down and praises the filly for her effort and performance. Celestia states that she's never seen a filly with the same raw abilities as Twilight and says she needs to tame her abilities. The Princess then says she wants Twilight to become her personal protege at the school. Twilight is ecstatic at the notion and quickly accepts her request. In the midst of excitement, Twilight doesn't even notice she received her cutie mark until Celestia informs her of it.<ref name = TCMC/>

====Raising Spike====
[[File:V10 First Day.jpg|thumb|250px|Twilight on her first day]]
After Twilight received her Cutie Mark, she passed the entrance exam of [[Princess Celestia's School For Gifted Unicorns]] and was sent there shortly there after. Excited and proud of herself, Twilight was eager to attend the boarding skill and brought her favorite doll, [[Smarty Pants]] to keep her company. Twilight was headstrong and confident in her abilities, believing she was ready for anything the school could throw at her.<ref name="ISSUE40">{{C|FIM|40}}</ref>
Line 59 ⟶ 60:
All the while, her dragon spills food on a near by table, making a huge mess. Levitating the dragon with her magic, the filly carried him all the way into her dorm to clean him up with tears in her eyes. Twilight is furious, and upset with the dragon, saying he made her look like a bad caretaker, a bad student and most of all, a bad daughter. She snaps at the poor dragon, saying she has had it with him, and that he's a stupid nuisance and nothing more. She wishes he was more like Smarty Pants instead. Upset by what his caretaker said, the dragon tries his best to make it up to her. He speaks his first words "Smuh-Pah" and clenches her Smarty Pants doll. Twilight realizes the error of her ways, that the dragon isn't just a doll or a pet, but a friend. The dragon lovingly rubs Twilights nose and claps out of joy. Twilight realizes that the dragon needs an actual name. The baby dragon insists on "Smuh-Pah" or "Smarty Pants", but Twilight refuses, saying he needs his own name.The filly begins to clean up her new friend as she brainstorms a name. She comes up with a name, but is interrupted by her parents, who ran into her dorm concerned over their daughter for just running off during the Tea Party. Twilight apologizes for her actions, but assures them that something very important had just happened. She introduces her parents to her new friend—Spike!<ref name="ISSUE40"/>

===Teenage and young adult===
[[File:Spike's Picture S5E12.png|thumb|250px|left|A younger Twilight and her friends]]
Twilight would continue to grow up in Canterlot and presumably spent most of her yeas at Princess Celestia's School For Gifted Unicorns. There, she would become friends with [[Twinkleshine]], [[Minuette]], [[Lemon Hearts]], [[Lyra Heartstrings]] and [[Moon Dancer]]. In spite of her generally anti-social personality at the time, her friends greatly admired and cared for her, and just took her anti-social attitude for what it was. They got along great and hung out together at various Canterlot restaurants such as [[Donut Joe's]]. Twilight seemed particularly close with Moon Dancer out of all of them, as they seemed to spend the most amount of time together. On the faithful day where Twilight moved to Ponyville, she missed Moon Dancer's birthday party, which broke Moon Dancer's heart and made her grow more anti-social then Twilight ever was. In spite of Twilight's sometimes dismissive and rude attitude, she was still a good-hearted and caring mare who seemed to bond well with others and did form a fair number of friendships over the years. Her relationship with Spike also seemed to flourish in this time.

On the day Twilight left for [[Ponyville]], she forgot to return her copy of ''[[Perfection: The Impossible Pursuit]]'', which eventually caused Dusty Pages to retire from her life as a librarian and become a [[musician]] instead at [[Silver Stable Community]], something Twilight would later greatly regret, believing she got her fired.<ref name = "TPONR">{{CAR|FIM|The Point of No Return}}</ref> during the same day, she forgot to visit {{FIM|Moon Dancer}}'s party, which caused the already insecure unicorn to become a shut in, rarely leaving her [[Moon Dancer's house|house]].<ref name = "AMF"/>
==Early adventures==
===Early days===
After defeating Nightmare Mon in the Everfree Forest, Twilight was still not quite used to her new friends and learned more about them in her early adventures. Her first known adventure was when Princess Celestia sent her a [[ticket]] to the [[Grand Galloping Gala]], as well as a +1 for any guest she wanted to take. Unfortunately, all of her new friends and Spike, though he was far to bashful to admit it at the time, wanted to go to the gala, each for equally valid purposes, causing the mare great stress. Writing to Celestia if not all of her friends could go, then she would not attend, causing Celestia to instead send her tickets for each one of her friends.<ref>{{CAR|FIM|The Ticket Master}}</ref>
Sometime later, Twilight grew worried that Applejack was overworking herself and offered to help her, though the mare kept denying her offers until the workload became a detriment to not only herself, but her family.<ref>{{CAR|FIM|Applebuck Season}}</ref>
===High strangeness===
===Whirlwind adventures===
[[File:Twilight Pinkie Sense.png|thumb|250px|left|Twilight getting smacked]]
Twilight was broken up about missing an item on her To-Do list, reduced to sobbing her eyes out. When Spike told her to just do it then and now, Twilight broke down, crying on the floor while flailing her limbs claiming that it was to late and she couldn't. When Spike went to check what she missed, it was to yawn cutely.<ref name = SST>''[[Super Serious Twilight]]''</ref>
While hanging out with Applejack and Pinkie Pie, Twilight and Applejack began to notice Pinkie acting weird. Realizing her pinkie sense was acting up, the two ducked for cover as a series of flowerpots fell from the sky. Twilight was hit on the head, leaving a massive bump. Sometime later, the Pinkie Sense began to act up once again, leading Twilight to get upset, but all that fell were sweets like cupcakes instead, making her happy.<ref name = PS>''[[Pinkie Sense (Manga Story)|Pinkie Sense]]''</ref>
[[File:I love Rarity Panel.png|thumb|250px|Twilight loves Rarty!]]
Twilight's first few adventures after the darkness of Nightmare Moon were peaceful ones filled with love from her friends. Even though her friends were sometimes insensitive or rude, they never hesitated to show their love and care for Twilight, and never once hesitated to protect her from harms way. On a vacation to a [[Beach (I Love Rarity!)|Beach]], Twilight asked Rarity to come swimming with her. Rarity respectively declined, but while swimming Twilight nearly drowned. Rarity rushed to her aid, saving her life. Twilight asked why she did it, since it got her mane all wet, but Rarity assured her that Twilight meant much more to her than her mane, prompting Twilight to tell Rarity she loved her.<ref name = ILR>''[[I Love Rarity!]]''</ref>
On a clear blue day, Twilight wanted to sped time with her friends. Applejack was to busy, Fluttershy was caught up and Rarity simply didn't notice her until she called her cute. Worried that her friends no longer loved her, Twilight stated to sob, but Rainbow Dash got her attention and dragged he to her [[50th Day After Her Birthday]] party, where her friends told her they loved her. Twilight was overjoyed, but realized that they only used it as an excuse to party.<ref name = WTPV>''[[Welcome to Ponyville]]''</ref>
[[File:Manga enough pinkie.png|thumb|200px|left|'''ENOUGH''']]
Twilight's largely peaceful adventures would continue for quite awhile, without much darkness or fights in her near future. Most of her problems during this period of time were somewhat inane and minor in comparison to the potentially world-ending plights she faced before. On one of these days, [[Sugarcube Corner (Manga)|Sugarcube Corner]] was giving away free cupcakes. Twilight, her friends and in fact most of Ponyville came to celebrate this occasion. However, Pinkie Pie quickly ate the cupcake she gave to Twilight. As an apology, Pinkie gave Twilight "her" cupcake, which was in fact Dash's. Dash didn't notice that her cupcake was stolen in time and bit her hooves, causing her to fly into the sky in deep pain as Twilight watched on with a concern look. Enraged, Twilght told Pinkie Pie that was enough, but she didn't listen and instead stole Applejack and Fluttershy's cupcakes. Pinkie later decided to pull together their resources and eat together, which Twilight conceded and smiled at her friend.<ref name = PPLP>''[[Pinkie Pie Loves Parties]]''</ref>
[[File:Manga no one.png|thumb|250px|No one listening to Twilight]]
Twilight always suffered from a bad case of egotism, even if she wasn't malicious or even outwardly rude about it. In such a case of this ego was when she demanded to be right about "something" but no one would listen. After realizing none of her friends really cared and were preoccupied, she decided to go to Fluttershy to about it. Unbewonst to Twilight, as she explained whatever she needed to explain, she ended up making two birds fly away, which Fluttershy managed to play nice just moments prior. The usually kind and docile Fluttershy snapped in a flurry of rage as she violently yelled at Twilight and her friends, causing them off guard and forcing them to fallback.<ref name = TOF>[[The Other Fluttershy]]</ref>
Regardless of any egotistic behavior, Twilight remained fundamentally selfless and down to earth. She tried to save Applejack from a [[Buffalo]] with the help of Rainbow Dash though after Applejack revealed the only reason why she was on the buffalo was for practice, Twilight let her friend deal with it. After hearing about Applejack's desire to win a [[Prize hat]], Twilight told her friend hat she'll be rooting for her but grows annoyed and concerned when he Buffalo bucked Applejack several meters away. Twilight tried to help Applejack find what she was good at ad grew concerned when she believed Applejack was depressed. After realizing her talent, Applejack threw a pie in Twilight's face, proclaiming no one could beat her at a pie throwing contest, but Twilight doubted that that was a rodeo sport.<ref name = ASM>''[[Applejack's Signature Move]]''</ref>

[[File:MANGA Funny face.png|thumb|300px|left|If only it were that easy in the actual episode...]]
On a dark and stormy night, Twilight was in her library reading a massive sized book with Fluttershy. She was soon interrupted by Pinkie Pie warning them that Discord was back "and evil" and engaged Rainbow Dash in a battle. Without an ounce of hesitation, a worried Twilight, now with the company of Applejack and Rarity rushed to the scene of the battle offering their help and support, stating that either they stand together, or fall apart. Unfortunately, it appeared as if they were to late as Dash was violently stricken into the ground with a powerful thunderbolt as Discord cried out that he would rule all of Ponyville. Crying out in fear, it was soon revealed that it was a game of [[Niramekko]] that Dash had won. Annoyed, Twilight tuck her tongue out and sardonically commented on the "battle" while her friends praised Dash for saving the day.<ref name = DGURD>[[Don't Give Up, Rainbow Dash!]]</ref>

===Romantic days===
[[File:MANGA Romantic night.png|thumb|250px|A romantic night]]
Despite the dramatic events that only recently unfolded before her, Twilight was in a whimsical, dreamy and lovely mood. The warmth and happiness between Shining Armor and Cadance was so uplifting and true. Filled with strong emotions, Twilight wistfully looked up to the moonlit sky of Canterlot and wondered if she'll ever get married like that. Dreaming of a pony she can love and spend her life with, Twilight wondered if she should use a spell in order to see who she would end up marrying. At first she hesitated but soon decided it was to much to bear ad used her [[Twilight's magic mirror|magic mirror]] to see who she would love. As it's happening, Twilight got a case of cold hooves and decided not to see. Unfortunately for her, the man she would marry turned out to be...Spike. However, as it turned out the mirror was busted and Spike checked on her to tell her her finished cleaning. Spike was concerned for her well-being, but Twilight semi-normalized and once again looked longingly into the night sky, realizing it be best that she didn't know.<ref name = MFD>''[[My Future Darling]]''</ref>
[[File:MANGA Titter Tree awakens.png|thumb|250px|left|Twilight awakens [[Titter Tree|Mr. Titter Tree]]]]
Sometime later, on a clear and sunny day, Twilight was reading an interesting book when Applejack asked her if she wanted to lasso with her. Twilight wanted Applejack to read with her, but Applejack refused and threw away Twilight's book. The two got into a heated argument. Applejack walked away in a fit of anger as Twilight felt guilty over what she did. Fearing Applejack would hate her, Twilight desperately tried to find a way to make it up to Applejack (in books, no less), Fluttershy tried to chime in but Twilight didn't notice her. Soon later, Twilight was dragged into a party by Pinkie Pie that was requested by Applejack so she could formally apologize to Twilight. Together, the six friends had a wild, good-natured party.<ref name = FAWC''>''[[Friends are Always Close]]''</ref>
Without warning, Fluttershy collapsed in front of Twilight. Rushing to her aid, Twilight was smacked away by Rainbow Dash who confronted her friend. After hearing about the dormant [[Titter Tree]], Twilight tried to find a way to wake up the tree. After several failed attempts by her friends to wake the tree up (one of which ended up sending Rainbow Dash past the [[Ponyville mountains]]), Twilight found a spell that turned the tree alive. The spell was a success and the tree came alive. Twilight asked the tree what was wrong, and it admitted that he felt like a loser. Spending all his life helping others with nothing to show for it. Using another spell, Twilight enabled the tree the ability to walk. With his new found power, the tree caused a ruckus among Ponyville as it trekked through the town. Before long, the Titter Tree fell madly in love with Golden Oak Library and so Twilight turned the library alive so the two could meet. Princess Celestia appeared before Twilight to thank her for her selfless acts. The Titter Tree had once again embraced its loving nature. However, Rainbow Dash, unaware the tree was alive, rammed right into it, pulverizing a large hole in it, which Twilight decided to use as a reading spot. Rainbow Dash apologized for her actions and was truly happy that the two trees mentioned to grow close. Overwhelmed with joy and love, the ponies had a party celebrating their matrimony.<ref name = TTT>''[[The Titter Tree]]''</ref>
