Ooooh I came up with some roles that one could possibly fulfill if serving Princess Cadence. The first few will be military/secret service related ik you’re not into that but I’ve thought of some less conflict based positions =3
Royal Guard Duties:
Crystal Guard – Protecting Cadance and the Crystal Palace, maintaining order, and defending the empire from threats like rogue yetis or misbehaving love spells
Personal Escort – Assigned specifically to Cadance for close-range protection. Might even assist with royal travel and public events
Courtly & Advisory Roles:
Royal Advisor – Helping Cadance make decisions about diplomacy, infrastructure, or magical defense systems
Court Mage – A unicorn who supports Cadance with magical research, love spell refinement, and protection enchantments
Love Correspondent – Helps Cadance with her role as the Princess of Love—maybe managing a scroll system that gives advice to those in need of love, friendship, or family harmony
Magical Specialists:
Crystal Heart Attendant – Monitors the energy of the Crystal Heart, ensures it’s properly maintained, and helps channel love magic into the kingdom
Aurora Keeper – Ensures the magical auroras that light the skies of the Crystal Empire remain beautiful and stable
Palace & Cultural Roles:
Crystal Artisan – Creates art, fashion, or architecture that reflects the beauty and harmony of the empire. Could be responsible for decorating the castle or preparing for festivals
Festival Coordinator – Helps organize celebrations like the Crystal Faire or Hearts and Hooves Day. Cadance would definitely have someone like this!
Court Musician or Dancer – Performs for events and royal gatherings. Might even specialize in love-themed performances
Personal Attendants:
Lady-in-Waiting / Stallion-in-Waiting – Attends to Cadance’s daily needs, helps her get ready for royal engagements, and serves as a companion
Royal Nanny – Looks after Flurry Heart, if she’s still young! That’s a BIG job, considering her magic
Tea Master / Chef – Prepares delicate meals and treats that align with Cadance’s preferences, probably themed around love, balance, and beauty
Outreach & Diplomacy:
Love Emissary – Sent to other lands to help settle disputes with compassion and understanding
Friendship Ambassador – A liaison between the Crystal Empire and other parts of Equestria, following in the spirit of Twilight’s lessons
ik many of these could be interchangeable with the other Princesses, but I really started imagining what it’d be like to serve her. It feels like a lot of it might be superficial but I enjoy it! I like pretty, dainty things. Not calling Cadence dainty, bc she can be fierce as well. I just imagine life there would be very sweet and wholesome, maybe less stressful than serving the other princesses depending on your role. I HATE getting stressed out lol I also just find Cadence to be a very relatable princess and think her becoming a mother is just the most beautiful thing
