Twilight Sparkle's color scheme was later changed to that of the G3 Earth pony Twilight Twinkle, with a slightly different mane and tail, but Lauren Faust said that Twilight originally had dark blue hair with a light blue stripe;[3 ] Twilight Sparkle was called "Twilight Twinkle" in early scripts for the show.[4 ] G1 Twilight teleports by wishing, and Twilight Twinkle likes to watch fireflies; Twilight Sparkle shares aspects from both of these ponies, with her ability to teleport and her occasional stargazing. Though she is much more studious and possesses more powerful magical abilities, she also shares a number of personality traits with the G1 Pegasus Wind Whistler, such as her tendency to rely on logic rather than instincts and her habit of using more advanced and technical terms. She additionally shares some personality traits with the G1 pony named Bright Eyes.

In a for the series bible, Twilight's cutie mark resembles that of the character Moondancer from earlier My Little Pony generations.

Lauren Faust had planned for Twilight to acquire the power of self-levitation "at some point."[5 ] Following Faust's departure from the show, Twilight has used this power in the season three episodes The Crystal Empire - Part 2 and Magical Mystery Cure.

As an Alicorn, Twilight is a little taller[6 ], and her horn is a bit longer than when she was a unicorn. ==Depiction in the seriesEdit== &lt;img alt="Twilight asks Spike to look for &amp;quot;Predictions and Prophecies&amp;quot; book S1E01" src="http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120904120811/mlp/images/thumb/a/a3/Twilight_asks_Spike_to_look_for_%22Predictions_and_Prophecies%22_book_S1E01.png/180px-Twilight_asks_Spike_to_look_for_%22Predictions_and_Prophecies%22_book_S1E01.png" width="180" height="101" class="thumbimage" data-image-name="Twilight asks Spike to look for &amp;amp;quot;Predictions and Prophecies&amp;amp;quot; book S1E01.png" data-image-key="Twilight_asks_Spike_to_look_for_%22Predictions_and_Prophecies%22_book_S1E01.png" /&gt;Twilight's original home in Canterlot.Added by KinrahTwilight lived in Canterlot until Princess Celestia sent her and Spike to Ponyville to oversee the preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration and make some friends. Twilight befriends the rest of the main characters, and remains in Ponyville to continue to study the magic of friendship. In A Canterlot Wedding - Part 1, Twilight says that Princess Cadance was her foalsitter when she was a filly.

Twilight tells the Cutie Mark Crusaders how she got her cutie mark in The Cutie Mark Chronicles. She says that when she was a filly, she studied magic on her own and wanted to attend Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. At the entrance exam, Twilight was told to use magic to hatch Spike's egg, but her magic got out of control when she was startled by Rainbow Dash's sonic rainboom. Princess Celestia took note of her magical abilities and made Twilight her personal protégé. In Magical Mystery Cure, Twilight Sparkle completes an unfinished magic spell with her deep understanding of friendship. Princess Celestia tells her that Twilight is ready for the next stage of her life. She is transformed into an Alicorn and crowned a princess.

Love of booksEdit
In Friendship is Magic, part 1, Twinkleshine says Twilight is more interested in books than friends. Even after Twilight becomes good friends with the rest of the main characters, she continues to read and consult books. For example, she confidently joins a marathon after reading several books about running in Fall Weather Friends.

RationalityEdit
&lt;img alt="Twilight tries to measure Pinkie&amp;#39;s predictions S1E15" src="http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111129235419/mlp/images/thumb/2/2e/Twilight_tries_to_measure_Pinkie%27s_predictions_S1E15.png/180px-Twilight_tries_to_measure_Pinkie%27s_predictions_S1E15.png" width="180" height="101" class="thumbimage" data-image-name="Twilight tries to measure Pinkie&amp;#39;s predictions S1E15.png" data-image-key="Twilight_tries_to_measure_Pinkie%27s_predictions_S1E15.png" /&gt;Twilight attempts to observe and measure Pinkie Sense omens.Added by BluesirTheFoxTwilight tries to be rational in unfamiliar situations. During the investigation in MMMystery on the Friendship Express, Twilight tells Pinkie Pie to stop making wild accusations, and they work together to find clues and solve the mystery.However, Twilight can be illogical in stressful situations. In Swarm of the Century, she hysterically suggests building a replica of Ponyville in less than a minute before Princess Celestia can see the parasprite infestation.

Twilight tends to be skeptical of unproven claims, such as her friends' belief that Zecora is an evil enchantress in Bridle Gossip, and Pinkie's "Pinkie Sense" in Feeling Pinkie Keen.

Knack for organizationEdit
Twilight shows her knack for organization in Winter Wrap Up. When the Winter Wrap Up becomes inefficient and uncoordinated, she organizes the teams and ensures that winter is wrapped up on time. Mayor Mare gives Twilight the official title of "All-Team Organizer".

Magical talentEdit

 * This section is transcluded from the article magic. If you wish to edit this section, click here.

Twilight Sparkle is exceptionally talented at magic. In a flashback in The Cutie Mark Chronicles, Princess Celestia tells Twilight that she has never seen a unicorn with so much raw ability. &lt;img alt="Epic blue and purple ring of magic S2E01" src="http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121224013554/mlp/images/thumb/3/34/Epic_blue_and_purple_ring_of_magic_S2E01.png/180px-Epic_blue_and_purple_ring_of_magic_S2E01.png" width="180" height="101" class="thumbimage" data-image-name="Epic blue and purple ring of magic S2E01.png" data-image-key="Epic_blue_and_purple_ring_of_magic_S2E01.png" /&gt;Twilight casting her fail-safe spell, which is ineffective on Discord's magic.Added by Steph physarumAs talented as Twilight is, her spells occasionally misfire or fail. &lt;img alt="Twilight confidently using her magic S2E24" src="http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120930204747/mlp/images/thumb/f/fd/Twilight_confidently_using_her_magic_S2E24.png/180px-Twilight_confidently_using_her_magic_S2E24.png" width="180" height="101" class="thumbimage" data-image-name="Twilight confidently using her magic S2E24.png" data-image-key="Twilight_confidently_using_her_magic_S2E24.png" /&gt;Twilight's horn glowing deep pink.Added by Jonny ManzIn the first season, Twilight's horn usually glows white or the same hue as her coat, and the objects she is manipulating glow white, lavender, or pink. When she manipulates multiple objects at once, several other colors are used as well, for example in the gem-finding scene in A Dog and Pony Show. Starting with the second season's third episode, Twilight's magic is uniformly depicted using a pink glow.===Hot air balloonEdit===
 * When she casts a spell on the parasprites in Swarm of the Century so they won't eat food, they begin to consume items which aren't food, and subsequently destroy Ponyville.
 * When she tries to assist with Winter Wrap Up by animating a plow with a "come-to-life" spell, she loses control of it and makes a mess.
 * In The Return of Harmony Part 1, she tries to reverse Discord's strange effects with a "fail-safe spell", but it fails.
 * In Magic Duel she has difficulty performing an age spell, which she says is only for "the highest level unicorns".

In The Return of Harmony Part 2, the ponies use it to fly with Fluttershy in order to capture the brainwashed Rainbow Dash. The balloon is also used on other occasions. ===CrownsEdit=== For the first three seasons of the show, Twilight possesses a crown containing the element of magic. She receives it in Friendship is Magic, part 2 upon defeating Nightmare Moon. The crown is studded with sapphires and a magenta star-shaped gem shaped like like Twilight's cutie mark. However, the crown is shaped differently after Twilight becomes a princess in Magical Mystery Cure. It is a lighter shade of gold, no longer has sapphires, and rests horizontally, not vertically, on Twilight's head.

Twilight relinquishes her crown when she and her friends restore the Elements of Harmony to the Tree of Harmony in Princess Twilight Sparkle - Part 2. At the Summer Sun Celebration, she wears a new crown, which looks completely different from her element of magic crown.

She wins despite a smear campaign orchestrated by Sunset Shimmer, and receives the crown at the dance.However, Sunset Shimmer takes the crown by force and transforms into a rage-filled demonic creature. She hypnotizes the students, whom she plans to use as an army to invade Equestria. When she attacks Twilight, Twilight's friends shield her and inadvertently activate the magic of friendship. They defeat Sunset Shimmer, who is remorseful for her actions.

After the dance, Twilight and Spike return to Equestria. Twilight feels more confident about being a princess than before. She bumps into Flash Sentry, who she encountered several times in the human world, and blushes. Twilight's friends tease her for having a crush, but she denies it.

So it's not something I would want to touch in the comics until after I better see how Season 4 handles it."[8 ] Twilight is depicted as an Alicorn in the preview of Little Brown's chapter book Twilight Sparkle and the Crystal Heart Spell included in both IDW's My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Issue #6 and My Little Pony Micro-Series Issue #3, on a display shown on My Little Pony Micro-Series Issue #8 New York Comic Con exclusive, on a sketch card bundled with one of the deluxe hardcover releases of The Return of Queen Chrysalis[9 ] and shown in My Little Pony Art Gallery page 15, on a My Little Pony: The Magic Begins ,[10 ] on My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Issue #12's Hot Topic , and on a My Little Pony Micro-Series Volume 1 .[11 ] She is depicted as an Alicorn princess in the comics from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Issue #13 onward;[12 ] [13 ] [14 ] Curnow wrote on the IDW Publishing Forums in late September 2013 "We've got the season 4 scripts, and I've read a good chunk of them, and feel like I have a good idea how alicorn Twilight will be handled",[15 ] and wrote on The Round Stable forums in mid-November 2013 "If we're referencing an issue that happens in the past, there's no reason why we can't show wingless Twilight. It's not like the past has been erased, it's part of her history."[16 ] ==Depiction in other mediaEdit==

The Elements of Harmony guidebookEdit
''TWILIGHT SPARKLE has a love of learning unmatched in Equestria. She is a natural leader, a patient friend, an obsessive organizer, and an avid reader. Her home in Ponyville is above Golden Oak Library, where she also serves as librarian, assisted by Spike and her pet owl, Owlowiscious. Of the six Elements of Harmony, she represents the Element of Magic. As a young filly in Canterlot, she was chosen by Princess Celestia to study the highest form of magic as the princess's apprentice. Seeing Twilight value knowledge over friends, the princess sent Twilight to Ponyville to learn the magical properties of friendship. Because Twilight not only mastered magic but also created magic of her own through such friendship, she has been bestowed with wings and the title PRINCESS TWILIGHT''.

''A book loving and studious unicorn, Twilight Sparkle was specially chosen by Princess Celestia to be her apprentice when Twilight Sparkle was just a filly. The Princess later sent Twilight Sparkle to Ponyville to learn about the magic of friendship.''

''Twilight Sparkle is always there for her friends, eager to help and solve any problem that anypony has. Organized and clever to a fault, her stubborn and obsessive nature sometimes gets her into trouble. She tends to favor logic over intuition, believing in only what she can prove rationally, giving her a healthy desire to ask questions. This natural curiosity aids Twilight Sparkle well on her adventures, constantly helping her solve problems and learn new, exciting things. Each day brings another lesson, and her magical powers and circle of friends both continue to grow. She currently lives in the Golden Oak Library with her young dragon assistant, Spike, and pet owl named Owlowiscious.''

With her closest friends Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle completes the Elements of Harmony – the most powerful magic in all of Equestria.
