A little while ago, my teacher and mentor Princess Celestia sent me to live in Ponyville. She sent me to study friendship, which is something I didn’t really care much about. But now, on a day like today, I can honestly say I wouldn’t be standing here if it weren’t for the friendships I’ve made with all of you. Each one of you taught me something about friendship; and for that, I will always be grateful. Today, I consider myself the luckiest pony in Equestria. Thank you, friends. Thank you, everypony!
ENOUGH! Because of you, I almost lost my way, but every creature here has reminded me of the true power of friendship. There will always be darkness in the world, but there will also always be those who find the light! The Pillars knew this; that's why they created the Elements of Harmony. The Elements showed me and my friends how strong our friendship could be. Together we worked to bring harmony to Equestria! But there will always be more to do, which is why we teach others about the Magic of Friendship -- Others who will continue our mission after we are gone. Now I truly understand: The Elements were just symbols. The real magic has always been right here, and the more who understand how powerful friendship is, the stronger we will all be... Together!

How the Magic of Friendship grows.

~ Twilight's final words, as well as the closing quote of the Friendship is Magic series.
Twilight Sparkle is the main protagonist of the fourth generation of My Little Pony, and the overarching protagonist of the fifth generation.
She is a female unicorn who later then became an Alicorn princess at the end of Season 3. She is both the Princess of Friendship and the former bearer of the Element of Magic.
In the past, she was Princess Celestia's personal student and later her successor. She is also the adoptive sister and best friend of Spike and is the youngest child and only daughter of Night Light and Twilight Velvet. She used to live in a library but now she is the ruler of the Castle of Friendship. She is Night Light and Twilight Velvet's daughter, Shining Armor's younger sister, Spike's adoptive older sister, Cadence's sister-in-law, and Flurry Heart's paternal aunt. She soon becomes the ruler of Equestria with Spike as her Ambassador and becoming a teacher as well to ponies and creatures alike, including her star student Luster Dawn.
She is voiced by Tara Strong, who also voiced Ilana from Sym-Bionic Titan, Dil Pickles from Rugrats, Timmy Turner from The Fairly Oddparents, Melody from The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea, Britina from Kim Possible, Raven from Teen Titans, Bubbles from The Powerpuff Girls, Clara from Drawn Together, X-23 from Wolverine and the X-Men, Sari Sumdac from Transformers: The Animated Series, Batgirl from the DC Animated Universe, Omi from Xiaolin Chronicles, Ben Tennyson from Ben 10, Talwyn Apogee from Ratchet and Clank, Juliet Starling from Lollipop Chainsaw, and UniKitty from Unikitty. Her singing voice is done by Rebecca Shoichet who also is the voice of Sunset Shimmer. In the series, Hello Pinkie Pie, she was voiced by Jessica DiCicco. In the Japanese dub from the series and movie, she was voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro.
Twilight is a Unicorn (later Alicorn) with light purple fur and an navy blue-colored mane and tail, stylized with rim cuts, and also has two lighter-purple and pink stripes running down both. She also has purple irises and prominent eyelashes, and also, occasionally, thicker eyebrows. She has a moderately-sized horn, which grew in width when she ascended to an Alicorn. Upon her ascension into an Alicorn, Twilight gained wings on her back. In the final episode of the series, Twilight becomes much taller than her friends, excluding a now-adult Spike, who is also now taller than the rest of the group. She wears the fused princess crowns into a crown of her own, wears a necklace and high-heel golden shoes, and has become the same height/size and form of Celestia and Luna. Her mane and tail now have also become longer, as well as moving exactly like the former rulers'.
As Human, She Wore A Blue polo shirt With a Pink bow, a Purple skirt with her Pony counterpart's cutie mark, and Purple Pink, and Black boots.
Personality[]
Twilight is by default a kind and sweet shy girl but is very strict and orderly. She holds a very high sense of responsibility (almost bordering on OCD) and values hard work and education. She is also extremely organized, having Spike look over her daily checklists three times over. During her childhood and adolescence living in Canterlot, Twilight started as a bit of a loner, valuing schoolwork and education over friendship and social participation, which led to many disappointments from her acquaintances (save for Spike) when they attempted to invite her to join social gatherings and parties, or generally to have fun. After being sent to Ponyville by Celestia on an assignment of overseeing the upcoming Summer Sun Celebration.
Like Pinkie Pie, she's also known to be optimistic, always having a positive and cheerful attitude when it comes to situations and having fun.
In My Little Pony The Movie, Twilight became very stubborn and reckless as she believes that the lands beyond Equestria can never have friendship problems that can be solved since a feline con artist tried to sell them and some parrot pirates nearly ratted them out. In Seaquestria, after Queen Novo refuses to give them the transformation pearl, Twilight secretly lets her friends unknowingly act friendly to Princess Skystar and Queen Novo while she tries to steal the pearl.
Her selfish mistake got them banished from Seaquestria and Pinkie and the others chastises Twilight for trying to steal the seaponies' pearl, and Twilight chastises her friends by pointing out that they are no better than her and said that using their regular methods outside of Equestria won't work, as Twilight realized what she just said and regrets it and tries to take it back but Pinkie, who was heartbroken by Twilight's words, walks off and that caused her friends to wrongly separate from her even when she felt sorry for what she just said (after Twilight accidentally yells that she would've been better without friends like them), but they should never have done that because it made Twilight finally getting captured by Tempest Shadow.
However after her friends realize their terrible mistake, they return to save her, she apologizes to them and the others apologized too for their foolishness when they should've focused their grudge on the Storm King. Then they all fight against him by trying to get the staff and with Tempest's help they defeated him and Twilight made friends with Tempest and possibly befriends everyone that she never made friends with.

Hmm... Elements of Harmony? I know I've heard of those before... but where?
„
~ Twilight's first words in the series after finishing reading the story about the Elements of Harmony.
“
I am her student, and I’ll do my royal duty, but the fate of Equestria does not rest on me making friends.
„
~ "Friendship is Magic"
“
You see, Nightmare Moon, when those Elements are ignited by the spark, that resides in the heart of us all, it creates the sixth Element: The Element of...MAGIC!
„
~ Twilight before defeating Nightmare Moon, "Friendship is Magic"
“
I studied magic for years, too! But what I didn't know then was that studying could only take me so far. Each of my friends has taught me something different about myself. It was their unique gifts and passions and personalities that helped bring out the magic inside of me. I never would have learned that I represent the element of magic without these five, and I certainly wouldn't be here to stop you now!
„
~ Twilight standing up to Starlight Glimmer, "The Cutie Map"
“
I'm the Princess of Friendship now, and lots of ponies are going to be looking to me to solve their problems. But it was foolish of me to think that I should have all the answers. What I do have are good friends who will always be there to help me find them.
„
~ My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks - The Mane Event
“
It's not an EEA school. It's a Friendship school! With its own rules! I should know; I wrote the book!
„
~ "School Daze"
“
We all know each other really well; the great stuff, and how to get on each other's nerves, too. I wanted a fun trip with my friends, but instead I got carried away with plans and ruined everything. If you want to forget it all and head home, I won't be offended. I just want us to stop fighting.
„
~ Twilight stops her friends from fighting, "The Mean 6"
“
You're the one who doesn't get it, Cozy. Friendship is powerful, but power isn't why you make friends. I'm sorry couldn't teach you that.
„
~ Twilight to Cozy Glow, "School Raze"
“
You can attack us and we may fall, but Equestria will still stand, united in friendship. And we won't stop until we defeat you, no matter how many ponies you take down!
„
~ Twilight to the villains, "The Ending of the End: Part 1"
“
Actually, as ruler of Equestria, I'd like to postpone the coronation for a while. At least until the castle's rebuilt. Besides, there's something we need to do first.

Trivia[]
Season 1 is the only season where Twilight appears and has a speaking role in every episode.
She is one of two members of the Mane Six to appear and have a speaking role in every episode of a season; the other being Applejack.
Twilight has appeared in the following episodes without any of the other Mane Six: Hearts and Hooves Day, Princess Spike, The Times They Are a Changeling, A Royal Problem, Triple Threat, Once Upon a Zeppelin, Uncommon Bond, Surf and/or Turf, The Parent Map, Road to Friendship, and The Point of No Return.
Out of all the Mane Six, she has the most amount of solo episodes.
Twilight is the only member of the Mane Six who doesn't age in appearance in the future.
This is most likely owing to her having immense magic and slowed down aging after ascending Princess Celestia and Princess Luna's throne.
Twilight is both the first and last character to speak in the series.
In addition to Twilight, Tara Strong also voiced Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie in the early test pilot episode from 2009; My Little Pony: Adventures.
Jessica DiCicco does the voice of Twilight Sparkle, as well as the rest of the Main Six, in Hello Pinkie Pie
