Door 15 August 9, 2012 Share August 9, 2012 (edited) On the back of the Royal Wedding DVD, they refer to Cadance as Princess Celestia's niece. Niece = sister's child So.... who was Luna getting busy with?! Prince Blueblood is also Celestia's nephew. Perhaps they're siblings, but Prince Blueblood isn't an alicorn, although this new "Princess Skyla" is and if she really is Cadance's child, this implies that alicornism is a female trait exclusively...

MyLittleDriver 37 August 9, 2012 Share August 9, 2012 As Lauren Faust said, the character is a distant niece.. Around the same distance as Blue Blood. On that note, she was also originally designed as a Unicorn but due to marketing she became an Alicorn.

Ethan Pow 332 August 9, 2012 Share August 9, 2012 honestly, just 1.... JUST 1 male alicorn and the whole universe will make some sense to me. Even traits that would be exclusively female could mutate for a male royal.... not only that but this is magic we are talking about here... I can't accept the fact there isn't at least 1.... just 1 male alicorn... even if it is by mistake by magic or something.

The Awesome One 1,315 August 9, 2012 Share August 9, 2012 My head cannon says that one of her parents was a Unicorn, the other a Pegasus. Somehow, Cadence got both wings and horns and thus, was an Alicorn. When Celestia learnt this, she took her as her own niece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FedoraMemes 582 August 9, 2012 Share August 9, 2012 The whole thing about Blueblood was explained by Faust. He is essentially a Duke, but they thought that kids might not understand what that was, so they called him 'Prince'. I'd imagine it is similar with Cadence, or Celestia has distant relatives.

Tortoiseshell cats are exclusively female and gingers are almost exclusively male. The same way colorblindness is MOSTLY in males. Some alleles just work that way.BUT I would love to see a male ali, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizz. 1,078 August 9, 2012 Share August 9, 2012 You really think a Royal Goddess ruling for 2000 years wouldn't have made some partners along the way? "Niece" is a pretty simple way of describing what your daughter's daughter's son's cousin's daughter was, if we want to really get into it. Just think any Royal Family. There's a lot of people in one, but only a few are really known. Perhaps Cadence was just important for some reason or other? http://alt="img-3411728-1-kQpW0ME.png"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagelbass 29 August 9, 2012 Share August 9, 2012 I also want to see at least one male alicorn. Maybe he'll appear in Season 3, we do not know for a fact yet. Maybe they are saving certain things for future episodes. *shrugs* 1 Credits to Cloud Chaser for the signature and avatar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princess crispey 3 December 13, 2013 Share December 13, 2013 I think that celestia had a friend who is like a sister who is cadence's mom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharpWit 2,611 December 13, 2013 Share December 13, 2013 (edited) You have to earn the right to be an alicorn according to the comics and the episode where twilight got her wings and new title shows us that except Luna and Celestia were originally supposed to be the only alicorns. For relationship status, here's what I think. One of my moms boyfriends from the past had a daughter. When my friends asked me who she was, I replied with "My mom's boyfriends daughter". that's fairly annoying to say since in a way she was a sister, and sister is much easier to say. My guess is that Cadence is really celestia and Luna's great great great great something something niece that is distantly related and they call her their niece to make things easier. Their bloodvline probably goes back before the royal sisters existed Edited December 13, 2013 by SharpWit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nature's Spell 526 December 13, 2013 Share December 13, 2013 (edited) If you think books are canon, the Crystal Heart Spell says Cadence was a Pegasus orphan and raised by Earth ponies. She became an Alicorn Princess by having a dense understanding of love and using it to stop an evil character. After this Celestia adopted her as her niece. So this all means that Twilight is related by marriage to Celestia and Luna. Of course Cadence is her sister-in-law.

Vixor 80 December 14, 2013 Share December 14, 2013 It's entirely genetically possible that we haven't seen a male alicorn yet. Tortoiseshell cats are exclusively female and gingers are almost exclusively male. The same way colorblindness is MOSTLY in males. Some alleles just work that way. BUT I would love to see a male ali, too. We've been shown that alicorns are made through a process of magic(ascension), not born, so genetics are probably irrelevant to alicornhood. As long as it's a pony, alicornhood should be possible, if it's earned and awarded of course. Anyway, I have no doubt that a male alicorn could be made, but due to the fact that little girls usually like pretty princesses more, it just hasn't been added to the show yet.

This means that Twilestia, as well as Twiluna are incest ships? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now all that did is confuse some fans on how Blueblood is related to Celestia there.
