On January 29th, 2013, the entertainment news site Entertainment Weekly published an interview with My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic head writer Meghan McCarthy, who announced Twilight Sparkle's transformation into an alicorn, noting the character "was set up from the very beginning to be on an important journey." The same day, the announcement was reblogged on several brony news sites, including Equestria Daily and Derpy Hooves News. On November 1st, 2012, a poll was posted on the MLP Forums, to which over 43% said they did not approve of Twilight Sparkle becoming an alicorn (shown below). Many felt that changing Twilight Sparkle into an alicorn could severely damage the character by over-idealizing her, similar to the Mary Sue phenomenon in fanfiction. The news was met with a variety of responses from the brony fandom. The same day, Redditor Lusht submitted the photo to the /r/mylittlepony subreddit, where it received over 490 up votes and 200 comments within the next three months. On October 17th, the licensing convention Brand Licencing Europe shared a picture on their Twitter with a poster featuring Twilight Sparkle with a pair of wings (shown below, right). Unlike most unicorns who specialize in one specific type of magic, Twilight Sparkle excels in a vast variety and knows multiple spells.On September 30th, 2012, the plushie manufacturer Funrise posted a picture on their Facebook page with several My Little Pony plushies in an office, with one Twilight Sparkle plush toy wearing wings (shown below, left).Twilight Sparkle's mother resembles the original first generation pony Twilight.In the first season of the show, Twilight Sparkle was light purple and had a long tail, however her coat darkens and her tail shrinks throughout the show.Twilight Sparkle is a completely new pony, seeing as her name, appearance, and personality bear no resemblance to ponies from previous My Little Pony generations.When this happens, she tries to solve her problems with magic and things she's read instead of relying on her friends, making any issues she had formerly grow exponentially. Her nervousness can take a hard grip on her and amplify her almost non-existent social skills. Twilight Sparkle is known to freak out and have anxiety attacks that affect everyone around her when she knows that the princess will be stopping by. This can be an issue for Twilight Sparkle, as it can make her seem very selfish and bring out her more negative traits. She values Princess Celestia very highly and only accepts perfection in an effort to please the princess. Because of Twilight Sparkle's need to succeed and vast intelligence, she is also insanely organized. She has an intense need and thirst for knowledge, primarily when it comes to magic and learning her limits. She takes things seriously, almost to a fault, but does all that she can to look out for her friends. Twilight Sparkle is a very well educated pony and is the one with the most formal education of the mane cast. The game is more of a story book where Twilight reads the story to the player, each story telling about Equestria and give life lessons at the end. In her first game appearance, My Little Pony: Twilight Sparkle, Teacher for a Day, she takes on the role of narrator. Due to this, Celestia declares Twilight a princess, turning her into an alicorn (a type of pony bearing a horn and wings.) As part of her new position, Twilight continues her residence in Ponyville from the Castle of Friendship, eventually becoming a tutor to Starlight Glimmer. In the show's Season 3 finale, "Magical Mystery Cure", Princess Celestia determines that Twilight has successfully accomplished her training. Her home is a rather large tree in the middle of town that also functions as a library. After moving in as the town's resident librarian alongside her apprentice Spike, Twilight quickly encounters five ponies who become her closest friends in the town of Ponyville. At the start of the animated series My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Twilight's mentor, Princess Celestia, instructs Twilight to move to Ponyville, hoping for her to expand her magical abilities and learn more about friendship. She hails from Canterlot, the capital of Equestria. Originally a unicorn, Twilight Sparkle is a young purple pony with a navy blue mane and a pink streak.
