Is Twilight Sparkle the chosen one?

[PHISICA 1]

Just out of curiosity. Is Twighlight the chosen, in some way?

As your thread is discussing a character of the show, it's been moved to Show Discussion. I also slightly edited the spelling in the title.

 

Have a nice day!

[RealityPublishing 323]

Yes, indeed. Twilight Sparkle was the pony who lived. 

[Choros Isorropai 409]

" You were the chosen one!  it was said you would destroy the sith, not join them!"

 

do we really want her to be the fabled "chosen one"?

 

I would like to think she is special... and Celestia saw her potential...

I don't think she was "prophesized", more of a product of the period she was in...(with the elements and saving equestrian, repetitively)

groomed for the position of becoming the next alicorn princess.

Well, the tree of harmony has her cutie mark since the sisters' early days of ruling

[El Duderino 879]

"chosen one" is normally applied to someone who was prophesied to do great stuff. Like Harry Potter, Neo, or Anakin Skywalker, who were all part of some sort of prophesy, and all held the title "chosen one". There is not really any reference of Twilight being part of a prophesy.

Well, there is this...

...which is a good point, as well as the whole thing about all of the mane 6 getting their cutie marks at the same time. That seems a lot like something that would be part of a prophesy. Maybe there is no prophesy, but the elements choose the element beares from a young age and guide them.

Yes, and eventually she'll fall to the dark side after being manipulated by uhh Sombra and then Celestia will have to cut off 3 of her limbs, in a giant fight in a volcano, but she'll survive because of MAGITECH but that tech at the same time restricts her powers and movement and she's in constant pain and hatred for the rest of her life until she finds out about her surviving son who eventually redeems her!

that's a good point... but if the tree chosen them before their birth, then wouldn't RD be the chosen one? as she was the "start" of the whole thing? wile Twi would be the chosen leader...

[Cleverclover 1,526]

She's Hasbro's chosen one, that for sure.

Yeah, that probably influence why Twi was chosen to become a princess, but her cutie mark on the tree of Harmony could mean fate has something bigger for her, and by extension the rest of the Mane 6 (possibly)

Well, maybe the tree recognized Twilight had the most potential, but saw that Rainbow Dash was needed to I guess kick start the whole thing. They all have their own important roles, otherwise the tree wouldn't need all 6 of them.

Well Lauren Faust did say that she planned on having Twilight become Celestia's successor, so already from day one she was destined for great things.

[Duality 10,740]

Given that she has the talent of magic (making her the only one of the mane six to have a cutie mark directly corresponding to her Element), her cutie mark is on the Tree of Harmony (as Steve Piranha pointed out), and she is now an alicorn with a castle custom-created by the Tree, it would seem that she does have some sort of predetermined place in Equestria, if only by the influence of the (possibly sentient) Tree of Harmony.

This I have never heard about. When did Faust say that?

[Luminance 2,186]

At the time of "The Cutie Mark Chronicles", Celestia even were to personally witness Twilight's magical outbreak and her Cutie marking at the same time. Celestia may of sense a great awakening in magic and came up to Twilight as she was curious about the powerful filly. Coincidence or not, Celestia was already in search for a young bearer to the foreseen Element of Magic.

[PHISICA 1]

This got responses quickly!

[FlootahBabby 265]

No. Derpy is the chosen one.

She said that during the interview for the Bronies documentary.

[Victoria Sponge 1,017]

She is voiced by Tara Stong.

Tara Stong also voiced Timmy Turner in Fairly Odd Parents.

Timmy Turner was the chosen one in that one movie.
Twilight therefore cannot be anything but the chosen one.

 

In all seriousness though, she gets special treatment because she is the main character of the show, that's all there is to it.

[SBaby 660]

Not really.  She became a Princess, but that's it.  She doesn't really do much with the title, other than use it as a way to explain why she goes on adventures with her friends.  In the entire series, there was one instance where her title was even taken into consideration beyond being a tool to go on adventures.  And it was quickly brushed aside.

[cider float 2,538]

Aren't we completely passed the part where Twilight Sparkle became the "One" prophesized by the Tree of Harmony by her Cutie Mark found on the tree?

[Whirlwind 1,059]

What do you mean by the chosen one?
