ManaMinori 4,146 November 10, 2015 Share November 10, 2015 Has anyone ever wondered? Think any of the ponies in modern pony times could be related, in some way, to old beardy butt? The Royal sisters, in the "refections" IDW comic, once said Pinkie was a lot like Starswirl, with the randomness and all... and I can picture a pony like Pinkie, who takes every effort to make others smile, and make friends with everypony being a nice contrast who may be a Starswirl family descendant. Maybe through Starry's sibling, if he had one. (Maybe Pinkie is Starswirl, himself? But that's another topic for another day) Or, what if Starlight Glimmer is a distant descendant? 2 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...
Unlikeable Pony 2,699 November 10, 2015 Share November 10, 2015 My favorite fanon is that Trixie is the last living descendant of starswirl the bearded. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memory Lane 131 November 10, 2015 Share November 10, 2015 Yeah I don't know if that dude ever had any children. To me he comes across as someone who never really developed an interest in romance, except maybe with working. Though if someone does descend from him, we probably don't know them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though if someone does descend from him, we probably don't know them.I said the descendants of his family, which could very well be possible if Starswirl wasn't an only child. If he wasn't, his brother or sister could've had foals and continued the bloodlne, if Starswirl himself, didn't. And the siblings' descendants would still be related to Starswirl There's also the possibility that Starswirl could've stored his swimmers in a bank, or had a one night stand back when he was younger (don't need friendship knowledge to run off lust for a night) and impregnated somepony. You don't always need a relationship.

Cimarronboy 248 November 10, 2015 Share November 10, 2015 Yeah pretty much what you said to 'clipse, though I do agree about starswhirl himself being married to his career in type. Honestly, it'd be nice to learn SOMETHING about the sodding genius (other than he was around when the sisters were "elected", built interplaner portals using a spell he discovered, banished the sirens, etc, etc). Seriously that should be like uber priority what they do next, just for that fact that he's so influential to Equestria's history and nearly nothing is known about him. The sisters personally knew him (he worked beside them running the country as the court wizard, at least going by the journal and some of the comics) so they at least should know something. Seriously we got a whole episode dedicated to the wonderbolts (through dashes prep for the exam, I still have learned nothing but some names from the episode), why not one about the greatest unicorn wizard in the history of Equestria, maybe even camoing a few of his decendants, who knows maybe Twi's one.

Dude, think of the potential there could be if there was a descendant of Starswirl's lineage, in te show though. Somepony who knew their ancestry well enough to give detailed info on Starswirl more than what we already know- barely anythjng, by the way. Somepony who followed in their ancestor's hoofprints to be just as good at magic, rivalling Twilight, horn to horn. (And Starswirl trivia) Possibly even a time/dimension hopper, like Starswirl, to open up even more episode time jump and other dimension possibilities.

We definitely need more backstory on these mystical characters. Though I feel like any successor he'd have would more likely be directly descended from him, ya know? Otherwise all we need is Twilight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cimarronboy 248 November 10, 2015 Share November 10, 2015 It's possible that 'bearded has no descendants for a lack of mating desires due to being so enamored with spells and wizardry, but it's also possible that his family tree is just one more thing on the list of info that is kept hidden, whether by hasbro's decision or Tia's (head cannon wise) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Stream. 708 November 10, 2015 Share November 10, 2015 I used to have a hunch that Twilight was a descendant because it would be sort of ironic.....she is his biggest fan, plus she was able to finish his spell. But when I mentioned this, a lot of people mentioned fair points about this not being possible. So my second theory would be Trixie or Starlight Glimmer 1 SILVER STREAM'S POETRY DUMP I am Silver Stream || My Request Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcan 3,255 November 10, 2015 Share November 10, 2015 (edited) I agree with Pinkie Pie If she was a descendent She would have incredible magical potential and no horn to channel the magic through. it would explain her 4th wall breaking abilities despite her being an Earth pony.

J. Brony 313 November 10, 2015 Share November 10, 2015 I hold fast to my belief that Trixie is Starswirl's descendant. They have the same color scheme, wear the same I put on my robe and wizard hat and they're both magicians. I think that Trixie is a safer choice than Twilight because 1) Twilight is OP enough as it is and 2) it would be an awesome plot twist if a mere show-pony like Trixie turned out to be related to one of the greatest wizards who has ever lived. Also, it would make for an amazing storyline that would finally give Trixie fans the episode they've been dying for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetolebob18 728 November 14, 2015 Share November 14, 2015 If you thin about it, everyone has 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great grandparents, etc. If he had any descendants at all, it is plausible 1/2 of EQ is related to him one way or another. On the other hand, if you look at Hart's book The 100 (about who he considers the 100 most important people in history) over 1/2 of them have no known legitimate descendants. So, it is possible he has none, either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmarston1 5,960 November 14, 2015 Share November 14, 2015 I kind of like to believe that Twilight is a descendant of Starswirl the Bearded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
