===Family===
{{Main|Sparkle Family}}
Twilight hails from the Sparkle family of unicorns. Although the exploits of her past lineage is largely unknown, the children of Twilight Velvet and Night Light have proven to be extremely successful in the land of Equestria, with Shining Armor marrying a princess and becoming the head of the Royal Guards, while Twilight has become a princess herself and a symbol of love and friendship throughout Equestria. The Sparkle family continues to grow with the birth of [[Flurry Heart]], the daughter of Shining Armor and Princess Cadance. In terms of extended family, it is strongly implied that Twilight's Sister-In-Law, Cadance, is related to [[Radiant Hope]], though Cadance knows nothing of her lineage.
* '''[[Night Light]]:''' Night Light is Twilight's father. He appears to be caring and supportive of his children, given his enthusiasm of attending Shining Armors recital and visitation of Twilight at [[Princess Celestia's School For Gifted Unicorns]].
* '''[[Twilight Velvet]]:''' Twilight Velvet is Twilight Sparkles mother. Much like Night Light, she appears to be a caring and loving parent.
* '''{{FIM|Shining Armor}}:''' Shining Armor is Twilight's older brother. Shining Armor is good-natured, friendly, caring, supportive, forgiving and makes friends very quickly. He's protective over Twilight and always jumps to her aid when she's in trouble, but is never overbearing. He respects his sisters intelligence and understands just how capable she is. Although the two love each other very much, their busy jobs keep them from spending as much time together as they would like. Shining Armor said Twilight was his family mare in the whole wide world, tied with Cadance of course.
* '''{{FIM|Princess Cadance}}:''' Cadance is Twilight's sister-in-law and former babysitter. The two are very close, they share a sisterly bond and would do anything for one another. When te two were looking through Sombra's old possessions, Twilight said Cadance ''was'' her sister, and that she will come to her aid whenever she needed it. Although Twilight briefly thought Cadance turned evil during the [[Canterlot Wedding (event)|Canterlot Wedding]], when she realized that it was actually Queen Chrysalis and not Cadance, she patched up her friendship with the Alicorn. The two enjoy teasing Shining Armor for his somewhat dimwitted acts.
* '''[[Flurry Heart]]:''' Flurry Heart is Twilight's niece. They have a close, loving relationship. Twilight loves to spend time with Flurryheart and dotes on her.
* '''{{FIM|Spike}}:''' Although not related by blood, Spike and Twilight are practically family in the truest sense of the word. Twilight raised Spike only months after he was hatched and the two have lived together ever since. Twilight has always acted in a rather maternal role towards Spike, instelling good manners in the young dragon, but also treats him like an older sister would treat a younger brother -- poorly that is. While she doesn't go out of her way to bully Spike, Twilight isn't above using him as a means to the end, though has since grown out of using him as she stayed in Ponyville. Regardless of the bad treatment, Spike loves Twilight and she loves him.
Twilight considers the Apple Family to be apart of her honorary family<ref name = SUPERSPEEDY>{{FIM|The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000}}<br>'''Twilight Sparkle:''' Um, Miss Mayor! Are honorary family members allowed to help in the competition?<br>'''Mayor Mare:''' Well, I'm not sure... Flim, Flam, would you object to honorary family members helping?<br>'''Flim:''' Are you kidding?<br>'''Flam:''' We don't care if the whole kingdom of Canterlot helps. It's a lost cause.<br>'''Mayor Mare:''' Hm, I guess it's okay. Applejack? What do you think?<br>'''Applejack:''' I think I'd love to have the rest of my family helpin' out.<br>'''Mane Six:''' All right!<br>'''Twilight Sparkle:''' Okay, everypony, we're not gonna let those smooth talkers take our friend's farm.<br>'''Mane Six:''' Yeah!</ref>, a view she shares with all of her closest friends. Twilight acts like a concerned and occasionally doting older sister to her friends, worried about their safety at the drop of a hat and always praises them when they do something worth praising. She acts this way especially towards her particularly young friends, like the Cutie Mark Crusaders, who she treats like little sisters, always caring for them, giving them advice, encouraging them and helping them with their issues. During the Ponyville Days debacle, she considered all of Ponyville to be like family to her<ref>{{C|FIM|30}}<br>'''Twilight Sparkle:''' I was only gone for one day! All this is happening because of a commorative plaque? I just spent the last day in Canterlot bragging about how Ponyville is special. How we all look out for each other. How we're more than just friends or neighbors. That we're family.</ref>, and while the town was decided at first, much of its residents decided to help Twilight out with care and admiration for their princess.<ref name = FIM31>{{C|FIM|31}}</ref>
In many ways, Twilight seems to view Princess Celestia as a motherly figure, or at least a role-model.<ref name = FIM40>{{C|FIM|40}}</ref> When she was a filly, Twilight idolized Celestia above all else<ref name = COTC>[[Call of the Cutie]]</ref> and the alicorn seemed to take a special liking to Twilight as well, letting the filly sleep on her<ref name = FIM40></ref> and gave her special lessons. Over the years, the two grew very close and although Twilight still idolizes her, she's began to treat Celestia more like a dear friend or family member rather than a force of law or nature.
