ManaMinori 4,145 August 3, 2015 Share August 3, 2015 -long, agonizing groan here- Honestly, at this point, I gotta say that them having a goal, whether it's "princess Skyla" or any other foal, is too premature neither Shining nor Cadance have been fleshed out enough. They certainly don't need a prop in the form of a baby that comes out of left feild. Now, neither are my favorite characters, but I wouldn't want another pony popping onto the scene without buildup to their arrival, if possible. Which neither Cadance nor Shining had, themselves. I mean, just off the top of my head, I think DHX could do an episode with either Cadance or Shining Interacting with the CMC, or having to babysit the Cake's foals. Or even a Twi family reunion episode with Twilight's mom, Twilight Velvet, pressuring Shining and Cadance amd dropping hints that she wants grandkids, in a way where the two start feelng more awkward the more mom tries to interfere. Heck, we haven't even had an episode where Twi just hangs with her brother, suddenly Hasbro's gonna drop a foal on the scene and make Twi an aunt? Too early, I say! 4 Under the Jellicle Moon- a site with cuteness, cat boys, and comic strips / Star Dreams Fanclub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ochre_Dust 329 August 3, 2015 Share August 3, 2015 We can always hope that there'll be a build-up. I think a family reunion with Twilight Velvet, Night Light, Shining Armor, Twilight Sparkle and Princess Cadence would be a good way to introduce something like that. The idea of Cadence and Shining interacting with the Cutie Mark Crusaders sounds wonderful as well. They could each try to earn their cutie mark in service to the princess. Scootaloo could try being a guard, Sweetie Belle a jester, and Apple Bloom a brewster of cider. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeric 46,850 August 3, 2015 Share August 3, 2015 I'm more anxiously awaiting them addressing an interesting moral in the episode than character than the baby or the character building itself. Considering we likely know the episode if the titles hold up, this will probably center around a member of the Mane Six, not the baby. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dry Cleaner 10 August 3, 2015 Share August 3, 2015 It would be a good thing only if the producers are running out of ideas for the show. Can you imagine cheap reruns with obvious tweaks in them? Fucking WWIII would be in full force. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlikeable Pony 2,698 August 3, 2015 Share August 3, 2015 I wouldn't mind skyla, as I've seen some good use of her in some fan comics (like CSI madmax's useage of her while cadence is pregnant). but they would need to have a decent idea in mind for her.

Sobana 100 August 3, 2015 Share August 3, 2015 How much was the Cakes characters built up until they had kids? Shining Armor and Cadance having a foal doesn't seem that far out of the realm of possibilities. Besides, if those two need to go on vacation/adventure I'm sure they have plenty of nannies to watch out their kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, if those two need to go on vacation/adventure I'm sure they have plenty of nannies to watch out their kid.as much as buildup for the Cake's would be appreciated, even now, fact of the matter is Hasbro doesn't market them nearly as much as Cadance and Shining. If they want these to to continue selling, then they need to get more showe spotlight, and jf they want to market their foal, then there had better buildup. It's just common sense in marketing 101. Build hype. Remember, not many appreciated Shining or Cadance coming on the scene with n aforemention of them being related to Twilight in any way Under the Jellicle Moon- a site with cuteness, cat boys, and comic strips / Star Dreams Fanclub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chirox the pony 1,336 August 3, 2015 Share August 3, 2015 If they have a kid it'll probably be a one off thing made to sell more toys, I doubt such a character would have much impact with maybe the exception of one episode. Although if it's like baby cakes again... 1 No matter how hard I try these ponies will simply never leave me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar Alexer 763 August 5, 2015 Share August 5, 2015 May god have mercy with us if the foal doesn't have some similarities with shining...or worse, if it looks like King SOMBRA. 1 "There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt."

cider float 2,537 August 5, 2015 Share August 5, 2015 If Cadence is naturally born an alicorn than the daughter would most likely be one too. If Cadence became an alicorn like Twilight than the daughter shouldn't have a chance to be an alicorn. That is if Equestria follows the rules of our biological world.

Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,350 August 5, 2015 Share August 5, 2015 I am not against it if it is handled correctly. I assume one of the leaked episode titles hints strongly at this happening? I actually think it is a cute idea, but I want to see her actually be important, or at least have some real relevance. Also, if she is born as a princess that would be...kinda meh. I'd rather her not be to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Cadence became an alicorn like Twilight than the daughter shouldn't have a chance to be an alicorn. That is if Equestria follows the rules of our biological world. Even though she was born a pegasus, she still became an alicorn. It's not even like surgery, I'm pretty sure magic can affect things on a biological level. Besides, Baby Cakes already shows that Equestria doesn't follow our biological rules when someone's fourth cousin (that's what a great aunt's second cousin twice removed would be), someone who's DNA has no contact with yours, can influence what your child's race is.

Princess of _______ With a face like that, and a color so close to Pinkie Pie's, I'm gonna have to go with the Princess of Merriment. I would however find it immensely preferable if she was born as an earth pony, and then ascended to become an alicorn, then we'd have a good trifecta of recent princesses: a pegasus (Cadence), a unicorn (Twilight) and then an earth pony (Skyla).

Zoraxe 546 August 5, 2015 Share August 5, 2015 I love the idea of those two having a child. But I dislike the idea of yet another girl alicorn when we have yet to even hear of a male one even ever existing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malinter 3,064 August 5, 2015 Share August 5, 2015 (edited) The reason they haven't introduced Skyla yet (or if they even do at all) is probably because it would break the alicorn mythos which may or may not be something the producers want to explore later and in a different direction. After all, If Cadence suddenly has a foal, the producers would then have to go out of their way to explain why Celestia and Luna haven't any any in over 1000 years or out of nowhere find out they do have kids and that they are anyone of the various background ponies all along XD Edited August 5, 2015 by Malinter My OC's: Malinter, Rahl, Vengeful impact & alias-the-marked-one First fic i've written since forever here Skype: Malinter@Outlook.com "Defeating a sandwich only makes it tastier." most legendary quote ever.
