Rarity Paige Belle 1,854 June 14, 2014 Share June 14, 2014 Just to make her feel good because she was a loner in Canterlot? 1 Beautiful, Stylish, Fabulous AND evil! What more could you want?

Frostgage 7,981 June 14, 2014 Share June 14, 2014 (edited) No. That's not correct. That's all that needs to be said. If that was her motivation, she wouldn't have friends at all.

Ashen Pathfinder 16,164 June 14, 2014 Share June 14, 2014 In the end we see that Twilight develops a close and personal bond with her friends. I believe Celestia would've noticed anyway if Twilight was indeed doing it for selfish reasons. 2 Pathfinder I Sojourner I Corsair | Zu'hra I Autumn | Scarlet Willow | Gypsy | Silverthorn | Crystal Whisper | Radiant Historia | And many other OCs~ Matching signatures with mah Bestie MOONLIGHT <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootalove 10,692 June 14, 2014 Share June 14, 2014 Not in the slightest, Twilight supports her friends and they support her back through thick and thin. If the loner thing was her motivation, she would not make any friends. 2 Credit: Moony © Forum FAQ Forum Rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what if the other five are afraid of the consequences of disobeying a princess. After all, Twilight was ordered to Ponyville to learn about friendship. 1 Beautiful, Stylish, Fabulous AND evil!

Arctic Night 884 June 14, 2014 Share June 14, 2014 She wasn't really a loner. Moon Dancer and all of the other rich snobs wanted to be her friend. But as she said in Magical Mystery Cure, "friendship was something I never cared much about." 1 Sig made by Kyoshi. Cool things people have said about me: Never heard of him but I guess just you mentioning him is a good reason not to go anywhere near that name. (In reference to an author I suggested.)

After all, Twilight was ordered to Ponyville to learn about friendship. We really see no evidence of such fear. Heck, Applejacks letter to Celestia afar the Flim-Flam indent in season 2 which read "I didn't learn anything! I was right all along!" which indicates to me she is not afraid at all. Again, with no visible signs of fear or distress, I don't think that is a valid claim. 2 Pathfinder I Sojourner I Corsair | Zu'hra I Autumn | Scarlet Willow | Gypsy | Silverthorn | Crystal Whisper | Radiant Historia | And many other OCs~ Matching signatures with mah Bestie MOONLIGHT <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowPirateX 600 June 14, 2014 Share June 14, 2014 That is highly unlikely! Especially considering her character development over the series. 1 "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings" ~ Optimus Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banul 3,831 June 14, 2014 Share June 14, 2014 I'm pretty sure the other five would be smart enough to tell if she was keeping the along for those reasons. And besides, she basically TRANSCENDED because of how good at friendship she was, becoming the literal monarch of friendship. I doubt she could get where she was if she were hanging out with the other ponies for any reason other than genuine friendship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nature's Spell 526 June 15, 2014 Share June 15, 2014 Nope, nope and more nope. Twilight generally loves her friends and as Celestia said she would be a pretty sorry Princess of Friendship without her friends. 1 Princess Twilight Sparkle: Princess of Friendship Princess Luna: Princess of the Night My short stories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forlong 1,726 June 15, 2014 Share June 15, 2014 No. Twilight keeps her friends around because she loves them and wouldn't be where she is today without them. /thread 2 Check out my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5qXAcUzrizEHvorGalU5jg?feature=watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ribbonfree 2,384 June 15, 2014 Share June 15, 2014 Oh, do you hate Twilight now, Paige? I give it a week till you're suddenly her biggest fan, going from historical trends. Twilight's behavior isn't the sort that's conducive to friendship for self-serving reasons. She's doing her part, for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I was reading a good fan fiction where the Mane six travel to our world to find Megan, the hero of G1, and in the story she accuses Twilight of keeping her friends like servants, and Twilight can't totally deny it! 1 Beautiful, Stylish, Fabulous AND evil!

Well Twilight never actually even asks her friends to join her, does she? Normally it's the other way around, they do the 'AND MY AXE' routine and throw themselves on the quest for glory alongside her. Twilight has never really compelled her friends to do anything for her. They've always been in it willingly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celli 4,349 June 24, 2014 Share June 24, 2014 Why would you even ask something like that? I do not for one second believe that would ever be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
