Champion RD92 8,658 April 7, 2012 Share April 7, 2012 I believe I read that Cadence is Celestia's niece, so wouldn't that mean Celestia must have another sister besides Luna? Unless Cadence is Luna's daughter, which I highly doubt. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadefire 2,797 April 7, 2012 Share April 7, 2012 (edited) (this was before he was named Prince Blueblood, and long before Cadence was created) I would assume that Princess Cadence has a similar backstory to Prince Blueblood, either his sister or a cousin from another one of Celestia's extended family.

Akemi Homura 7,680 April 7, 2012 Share April 7, 2012 No offense, but you really ought to put a heading before making a thread like this. As for the topic at hand though, it's difficult to say whether or not what a "niece" is in pony standards. Celestia's nephew is apparently deemed a "prince" even though the term "Duke" would be much more appropriate here. Unless everypony in Celestia's family is immortal, in which it is a good possibility, perhaps Celestia had some other relatives in which they somehow died off and their daughters/sons (eg. Blueblood and Cadence) were left in the royal sisters' care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBaby 660 April 8, 2012 Share April 8, 2012 (edited) I have a theory. She has another sister (or cousin), but there was a conflict over the throne. Celestia and Luna weren't initially in line for the throne. Celestia and Luna and the sister were subject to a brutal succession war between their mother, and aunt during most of their childhood. They would use assassins against one another and members of each family constantly wound up dead. After the aunt became Queen, the sister was engaged to another stallion to prevent the other family from becoming too powerful. Although the reason was purely political, the sister was happy with the marriage. However, when the previous Queen died suddenly after only two years on the throne, the three princesses of Equestria Celestia, Luna, and their sister, the daughter of the aunt, entered into a pact. To avoid further bloodshed, Celestia and Luna would become the rulers of Equestria, forgoing the title of 'Queen', and they and their sister would vow never to get married, have children, or have designs over the throne beyond the joint rulership, and their mother would live in exile. Because of this, the sister had to cancel her engagement to the aforementioned stallion. However, she was already pregnant... And thus, this is the beauty of Suikoden. You can apply it to every aspect of an unexplained plot, and word it in a way that makes sense. Edited April 8, 2012 by SBaby A Winner Is You!!!

Beth Sycamore 28 April 8, 2012 Share April 8, 2012 Why y'all assume that it is a sister? It could be a brother of Celestia and Luna. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I used to be a stranger 7,993 April 8, 2012 Share April 8, 2012 (edited) Everyone assumes that the non-ruling princes and princesses are part of the Royal family and also that there isn't an Aristocracy when it's far more logical to assume that there is.

Unless Cadence is Luna's daughter, which I highly doubt. Actually, there's nothing in canon which rules that there can't be a third alicorn sister.

But then again, people also question why Celestia and Luna are only Princesses when there's no King or Queen (at least not that we know of). They just chose that title because it sounds cute.

lunaforevar 14 June 29, 2012 Share June 29, 2012 (edited) Sorry for digging, but this thread is extremely interesting. (I remember the times when I was playing Tibia and on forums I was discussing the theories about Rookgaard myths, miss those times :'-) ). I love such threads so I decided to "reanimate" it. 1. Who is the mother of Luna and Celestia? IMO: Fausticorn ;D 2. Who is the mother/father of Cadence? IMO: Lauren's brother's OC. My theory...

PonyEcho 1,610 July 21, 2012 Share July 21, 2012 speculation alert, i have no evedence to prove this. i belive there there is kingdom outside of equestria full of alacorns- the reasone behind this is because alacorns are a seperate speicies so the would have to be many of then other wise they would have o resort to inbreeding (im aware crossbreeding but there a possability on the offsping not being an alacorn. also its likely that Celestia has other sibling who live outside of equestria Candences parents are dead and Celestia is her guardian- exsplains why her parents arnt at the wedding my DA http://heavyecho.deviantart.com/ check my stuff out the Anime Club http://mlpforums.com/topic/48196-the-anime-club/ plz join us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shift 4,272 July 21, 2012 Share July 21, 2012 Why does MLP have to make everything confusing... Seriously, Luna's the mother and Bluebloods the father. Logic, anybody? Oh yeah, I just guess BTW.

Oh yeah, I just guess BTW. Disagreed! Luna was established as not present during the wedding. Now, trolling might run in the royal family but, not showing up to your own daughter's wedding, (when you're perfectly capable of doing so since you're hanging out in the building across the street,) is unjustifiable, especially so if you're the cultural head of a state. To add to that, Blueblood is Celestia's nephew and what you're saying seems to imply that Celestia and Luna have no other siblings, making Blueblood Luna's son. I'm well aware that royal families are not completely unfamiliar with inbreeding but I highly doubt that their own offspring is considered an acceptable choice for mating.

Xievie 498 July 21, 2012 Share July 21, 2012 THEY can't be the mother of Cadance or Blueblood. I mean, maybe Celestia, but she's their Auntie. Luna was also on the moon for a thousand years and RECENTLY returned. No more than a year or two, also. Cadance and Blueblood are too old to have recently been born to Luna. It really is confusing.

BlackWater 53 July 21, 2012 Share July 21, 2012 This question is exactly what came to mind when I found out that the whole "niece" thing was technically canon. Only one thing is certain for clearing this up: fanfics...thousands of them. Everypony is special and has a unique talent. Never think your talent is worth less than somepony else's. ^-^V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
