Twilight Sparkle (Friendship is Magic): Difference between revisions

Twilight typically speaks in a rather "advanced" manner. Although her language is considerably less artistic and theatrical as her close friend Rarity, it's still more regal then most of her friends. Twilight tends to use bigger-than-necessary words and often uses scientific names for objects, creatures and other things rather than the more familiar terminology. Twilight doesn't do this to project herself as a superior entity however, it's merely a habit and will always, and usually without annoyance, switch to more down-to-earth terminology when others have trouble following. Outside of her affiliation towards scientific wordings, Twilight has a tendency to lower her voice in more awkward situations and talk more 'girlish' then she usually does when she doesn't seem to know what to do. Twilight also has a tendency to rant and rabble, stringing together long, mumbled, incoherent messes of words when under stress or in disbelief. To a lesser, more coherent extent, Twilight can perform these when sufficiently angered.

Twilight Sparkle is a righteous pony with a strong moral center and good sense of justice and law. She believes herself to be pure of heart, and has proven her good and selfless nature on many occasions. She is willing to risk her life not only for the safety of those she cares about, but also for strangers and even enemies, as she believes it to be the right thing to do. Although her morals can be halted by the prospect of personal gain - especially academic gains - she will always do the right thing in the end, no matter what. Twilight is willing to forgive friends and enemies alike if she believes them to be sincere, such as when she accepted [[Thorax]] for who he was or when she forgave and befriended [[Tempest Shadow|Fizzle Pop Berry Twist]]. Twilight is always willing to fight for what she thinks is right, such as in her numerous clashes with Queen Chrysalis and other enemies. Although it doesn't become an issue to often, Twilight is lawful to a fault. She utterly refuses to betray Princess Celestia's law and rule, even when it's the right thing to do, and as such, did not once use her magic on [[Longhorn]] and his [[Longhorn's Gang|goons]] until they were blatantly breaking the law. This trait occasionally puts her at odds with her friends, but never for long. She is however, willing to manipulate the law in her favor as long as she doesn't break it. Twilight has proven herself to be brave, selfless and undoubtedly heroic in her many adventures, often making great sacrifices to save her friends and all of [[Equestria]]. During "[[The Return of Queen Chrysalis]]" story arc, Twilight willingly sacrificed herself so that her friends would not be drained of their love and solemnly mentioned how much she loved them in the process. Unquestionably a hard worker by nature, Twilight managed her library with impressive organization and punctuation, more so, Twilight would often help organize town events, sometimes even as the manager or leader of said events. It can be said that Twilight was essentially always doing something. Whether that be studying, experimenting, work, adventures, socialization or another myriad of errands Twilight has on her nigh-endless to-do list. Despite this, Twilight is usually chipper and sunny, but can have bouts of stress, especially after becoming a princess.

===Reputation and fame===

Twilight Sparkle was an incredibly gifted Unicorn and has been highly regarded for abilities in the arts of Magic for a very long time. As a filly, Twilight was accepted into [[Princess Celestia's School For Gifted Unicorns]] for her demonstration of magical prowess and though her stay at the academy started off rocky ("[[Friendship is Magic Issue 40|Friendship is Magic #40]]"), she eventually found herself as being Celestia's "dearest student". Twilight's reputation would only grow with time. In her early adventures in [[Ponyville]], Twilight Sparkle was already considered to be by most as the greatest Unicorn in all of Ponyville, if not all of Equestria.<ref name = BOAST>{{CAR|FIM|Boast Busters}}</ref>

===Relationships===

{{Main|Twilight Sparkle/Relationships}}

Twilight is known for her dependable attitude among her peers and thus has many relationships. In Ponyville, Twilight is seen as a role model by the children, who look up to her and love spending time with her. Twilight has shown genuine care for all the children in Ponyville and enjoys teaching them when she finds the time. By adults, Twilight is seen as a reliable friend who will do anything for them, and in return, they will do anything for her.

====Tweezers====

{{Main|Tweezers}}

Tweezers was the persona Twilight took up in "[[Dial S For Sassy]]". Tweezers was a prolific criminal notorious for her role in countless criminal organizations, stretching all the way to [[Horseshoe Bay]]. Much like Twilight, Tweezers was known for her intelligence with Pips even calling her "Da Brains" of the group. She was eventually put to justice by [[Helga Bugart]], which was short lived due to [[Bookworm]] devouring their world. Afterwards, Twilight broke character and started acting like her old personality again.

====Empress Twilight====

After swimming in the pools of Dark Water, Twilight was infected with "[[Ethical Cancer]]", a mysterious, magical disease that emphasizes the good traits of a pony, twisting them into negative traits that completely overshadowed their true selves. Described as having the mental filter removed, the disease brought the worst out of ponies, turning them cruel, uncaring and overwhelmingly narcissistic. Twilight was not spared from such a fate. Although Twilight typically cares deeply for the citizens of Ponyville and respects them as individuals, under the effects of the cancer, Twilight believed them all to be buffoonish, idiotic and simpleminded. Twilight believed herself to be the most intelligent Pony in all of Equestria and din't take kindly to any resistance.
