Senko 459 July 23, 2018 Share July 23, 2018 Celestia, Luna and Cadence all have royal guards protecting them so I'm wondering do you think Twilight should have some in the castle of friendship or are her friends the equivalent of them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Piranha 29,495 July 23, 2018 Share July 23, 2018 Unless FIM changes of main cast, I don't see that happening. However, she should have at least two. Can you imagine if one of them is Flashy ? Sig by Discords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senko 459 July 23, 2018 Author Share July 23, 2018 They don't need to be main cast members just a couple of guards at the front doors of the castle as background ponies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyoshi Frost Wolf 42,202 July 23, 2018 Share July 23, 2018 I think she is too modest for that, not to mention she fights like a BOSS when she has to. On top of THAT, she has the almighty goddess of the Sue Mary at her side in the castle. I believe she is also known as Starlight. No need for a royal guard when you have a pony that can just create magic concepts out of thin air. 2 Redeem me into childhood. Show me myself without a shell.

Truffles 2,033 July 23, 2018 Share July 23, 2018 In addition to Starlight, she has a fire-breathing dragon who, as seen in the movie, has no reservations about burning anyone alive or biting into them with razor sharp teeth. With his new wings, even kidnapping her by airship isn't an option anymore. Even a small army would find it difficult to get in if he were to use the same power level of his flame that he used on the roc. The better question is whether the contents of the castle should be protected while all three of them are away. Before her redemption Starlight had no problem getting in during the S5 finale. It's unclear whether any guards would have helped in that situation, however, since Starlight is quite powerful and was bent on getting revenge. 1 Are you a Spike fan?

Theoretically that's what guards are for to keep just anyone walking in they wouldn't have been likely to stop Starlight with her invisibilty power but casual intruders like that mob after Twilght published the friendship diary would have been a little deterred. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sondash Studios 4,866 July 23, 2018 Share July 23, 2018 One or two really cool-looking bodyguards should be fine! Just like the ones from the MLP movie. Tell me this isn't the cutest thing you've seen all day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDP40F amtrak 2,448 July 23, 2018 Share July 23, 2018 It would be cool if she does have her own royal guards To procted ponyville However I hope the guards aren't weak like Celestia guards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for keeping anyone from walking in, my impression is the castle is serving as the replacement library until a new one can be grown so it may be permissable to have strangers just walking in unannounced. Also like the middle voting choice implies, there may be political ramifications to having guards outside a castle meant to promote friendship. Are you a Spike fan?

Senko 459 July 23, 2018 Author Share July 23, 2018 Not so sure on the whole public library aspect I'd imagine they'd build or buy a building more in town as the old library was the only tree building although Fluttershy's comes close. Valid point on the whole guards in a castle of friendship though with the school you could probably justify them as security on the castle not the princess as she spends her time at the school without them. We've seen Cadence travelling without guards on a number of occasions. Especially since Twilight unlike the other princesses seems to spend a lot more time travelling.

They call me Loyalty 1,954 July 23, 2018 Share July 23, 2018 Her royal guard would likely be removed whenever the plot requires it, much like with celestia or luna being disabled during mayor conflict. Meaning it wouldn't add much to the show, besides taking away screen time from the main characters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brainstorm 4,123 July 27, 2018 Share July 27, 2018 (edited) Maybe her royal guard be Tempest/Fizzlepop so she'll make amends to Equestria and make peace with her friends and herself. But, only have her around when needed, you know like their facing a threat again. Edited July 27, 2018 by Brainstorm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedishy 3,549 July 29, 2018 Share July 29, 2018 (edited) I do not think that she would take them even if requested to by her friends and Celestia. She is a princess of friendship and guards of any sort are not exactly conducive to a friendly environment Edited July 29, 2018 by Jedishy May the Friendship be with you.
