Twilight's characterization in the comics vary greatly from writer to writer. Earlier arcs tended to play up her sweet, kind but slightly mischievous side, while later arcs and one-shots played with her more zany and sometimes rude personality. Though still a generally heroic figure, Twilight has many downright villainous moments in the comics.

Twilight appears throughout the Egmont comics.

Twilight is far more animated here than her animated counterpart, being prone to give off highly exaggerated expressions when good or bad things happen. Examples of this can be found when she forgot to raise up her hoof on time; a sin that she claimed she could not forgive herself for, and when she was given a cupcake by Pinkie Pie. Twilight is shown to have a somewhat sarcastic sense of humor, giving a sour expression when she found out that Rainbow Dash's and Discords duel was just a "silly face contest". She also has a fiery temper and disbanded her friendship with Applejack over a petty fight, though soon forgave her.

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>

As very little information on the Phase 6 manga currently exists, much less in English, all that can be gleamed thus far is Twilight Sparkle appears within it.

Twilight in this manga incarnation is a bit more zany than her cartoon counterpart, but not as much as her other manga counterpart. A brave and compassionate ruler, Twilight was a major character in the first [[A Day in the Life of Equestria volume 1|first volume]], but was far more minor of a character in its [[A Day in the Life of Equestria volume 2|second volume]].

'''Twilight-san''' was a student at [[Ponyville-cho High School]].

After Nightmare Moon came returned, she destroyed Ponyville and so Twilight Sparkle and the player unite to attempt to rebuild the city and bring back harmony to Equestria. In doing this, they buy a [[Windmill]] and later welcomed Bon Bon to the town. As they progressed, Twilight was grateful she could take her mind off Nightmare Moon, at least for the time being.<ref>[[Starting quest]] - ''[[Put Your Hoof Down]]''</ref> Later, Twilight attempted to let Pinkie Pie know it was safe to return and so she threw a party with a [[Balloon Stand]].<ref>[[Starting quest]] - ''[[Carnival Games]]''</ref>

Later, Twilight read ''[[Elements of Harmony: A Reference Guide]]'' and forgot to eat. Due to this, she got the player to pick some [[apple]]s so they could feed themselves.<ref>[[Starting quest]] - ''[[Studying Hard]]''</ref>

Twilight is a figure in a few RPG stories, such as ''[[Tails of Equestria: Curse of the Statuettes]]'' and ''[[Tails of Equestria: A Dragon's Bounty]]''. In the former, she was turned into stone by [[Moonbeam]] - who the story tells is basically a stand in for Twilight - and in the later, she visited [[Vanhoover]] to stop [[Razer]] from destroying the city. She, of course, didn't do squat and instead three foals, [[Strong Oak]], [[Thrilly Filly]] and [[Firebrand]] instead saved the day.
