#Personality ;
Twilight Sparkle is a very studious pony. She tends to have a lot of facts on hand on various things, and doesn't believe in 'silly superstitious nonsense'. She was shy and not wanting to make friends at first, but after meeting Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Applejack, she's become a much friendlier person. Despite her knowledge on nearly EVERYTHING, Twilight's a bit of a worrywart, especially when it comes to writing letters to Princess Celestia about what she has learned in Ponyville (considering the princess is her personal mentor!), but no matter what, she'll be there for her friends.
In comparison to Pinkie's hyper demeanor and Fluttershy's...well, shyness, Twilight Sparkle is the 'even keel' in the group. She'll have checklists for everything so she's organized...even a checklist for her checklist at times. She's usually the one trying to calm down and find a rational explanation, but if it comes down to the wire and nothing's done, she'll freak out, especially if it's relating to an assignment that's supposed to be due and she hasn't done it yet and has to be turned in THAT DAY or she's *gasp* TARDY! Writing letters about the lessons in friendship are one thing, but tests...those get her nervous. She'll lock herself up in her room for days on end and come prepared with anything she can get her hooves on just so she won't fail...and even then, there's that nagging fear that if she fails, she'll be sent back to Canterlot and back to *gasp* Magic Kindergarden.
When it doesn't come to studying, Twilight Sparkle will do whatever she can to help her friends. She can keep a secret, even if letting someone know would solve a potential problem. Now that she's learned the value of friendship, Twilight will do anything to keep it, and even risk everything for those she cares about. Realizing that she and her friends were connected by one major event which caused them to receive their cutie marks at the same time caused them to become closer friends. Her determination to see things through is one of her biggest qualities...along with her organization skills and an abundance of magical talents.
#History ;
Twilight Sparkle is the second child of her father and Twilight Velvet, and has an older brother named Shining Armor. When she was younger, she got to watch a Summer Sun Celebration and was able to watch Princess Celestia use magic for the first time. That inspired her to learn everything she could about it, staying up for long days and nights to take in every bit of information. Her parents had signed her up for the School for Gifted Unicorns, but when tasked by some of the instructors to make a dragon egg hatch using her magic for her entrance exam, Twilight was on the verge of failing.
All of a sudden, an explosion could be heard outside, causing Twilight to somehow tap into the magic within her and not only caused the dragon to hatch from the egg, but sped up the creature's growth, caused the instructors to levitate in mid-air, AND turned her parents into potted houseplants! It wasn't until the princess herself calmed her down that everything went back to normal. That wasn't the end of it, for Princess Celestia herself wanted to take Twilight under her wing for mentoring...and pointed out that the newest student of the Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns got her cutie mark!
Years passed, and the young filly grew in knowledge, as well as getting older. During one fine day, she was reading about the history of the sun and the moon, which were raised and lowered by two sisters...which also explained the legend of Nightmare Moon. Upon reading further, there was a prophecy that stated that Nightmare would use the stars to help her escape the thousand-year imprisonment on the moon to return and cover the world in darkness...and only the Elements of Harmony could stop her. Twilight immediately sent word to her mentor, but was instructed instead...to go to Ponyville and oversee the preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration, and to make friends. She couldn't believe this; why would Celestia ask her to do something so...menial as making friends when there was a really good chance that Nightmare Moon could come back?
Frustrated, the unicorn traveled to Ponyville and ended up and ended up meeting five fillies that would eventually become her new friends...and fellow Elements of Harmony to defeat Nightmare Moon. But it turned out that Nightmare Moon was really Celestia's younger sister, Princess Luna, who had gotten lonely and jealous because everypony was so active during the day, but slept through the night. The crisis over, it had been time for Twilight to return to Ponyville, but after finally learning the value of friendship - which sparked the power of the Elements, she didn't want to leave. So Celestia decreed that her student's new home would be Ponyville, and that Twilight would write her letters about her lessons in friendship.
She now resides in the Ponyville library, and doubles as the librarian while learning all she can on everything...as well as continuing her studies in friendship. With her friends by her side, there's nothing this unicorn can't do!

It was time for the entrance exam to get into the prestigious school for unicorns. If Twilight could pass this test, then this would make her entire LIFE! Magic was everything to her now; she had stated up many a night learning everything - as in everything - about the subject since that day at the Summer Sun Celebration, and watching the princess raise the sun. Her parents stood off to the side as she faced four solemn-faced instructors taking notes on the test, as a cart with a purple-spotted egg was rolled in. It was apparent that she would be tasked to making it hatch using only her magic, so looking excited and nervous at the same time, the young filly concentrated hard.
Her horn glowed a little...to no effect. She tried again...nothing. Twilight tried everything to try and get what little magic she knew to work...gestures, staring at it, anything. Still nothing. Making one last final effort, her horn glowed once more and a bit of spark came out...but she gave up after exhausting her strength. "I'm sorry I wasted your time..." The filly said sadly, knowing that her dream was shattered then and there. Still looking sour-faced, the four unicorn professors were prepared to mark down 'Failed' when all of a sudden, a loud BOOM could be heard, and a rainbow of color could be seen just outside the window. Startled by the noise, Twilight somehow tapped into her magic as her horn glowed, and shot a beam right at the egg...which hatched into a cute baby dragon!
She did it! She passed the test! But before she could celebrate, it completely took over and surrounded the filly in a light purple aura, turning her eyes the same shade. Magic - raw magic - shot all over the place, causing the professors to be lifted from their seats, and her parents to turn into potted houseplants. Not having control of such a power, Twilight couldn't stop it.
But someone else did, and all it took was a gentle hoof on her shoulder and a caring smile from Princess Celestia before Twilight returned to normal, restoring everything back to the way they were. The princess had stated that she had never seen raw magical talent like that before, but Twilight still needed to focus it. But the next set of words were something that the young unicorn never expected to hear: Princess Celestia, the ruler of Equestria, wanted to make Twilight Sparkle her personal student! Not only did she pass, but the princess herself was going to be her teacher! Hopping all over the place, she could barely contain her excitement!
But Celestia said that there was one more thing, which immediately stopped Twilight's excited demeanor, thinking she had something else to do before being accepted fully. But to her surprise, the princess pointed to her flank. Where it was once bare, a six-pointed magenta star with five smaller star had appeared! Twilight Sparkle gasped, "A cutie mark! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!!!!!" This had been by far the best day ever!
