~Scootaloo 440 March 18, 2013 Share March 18, 2013 (edited) I noticed when Twilight became an alicorn that she looks a lot bigger in comparison. Why did she become bigger though? she has wings now, but why does appear to be taller and have a longer tail?

Metaright 76 March 18, 2013 Share March 18, 2013 She seemed slightly larger, but she certainly didn't double in size. Celestia-sized Twilight would just look unnatural, really. 2 Pretty Pony Analysis Reviewing, analyzing, and overthinking cartoon horses since 2013.

The-Master 1,176 March 18, 2013 Share March 18, 2013 (edited) She's not only taken on the traits of being a pegasus, but also that of an Earthpony. In order to actually be an alicorn you must possess the traits of all three races. Edited March 18, 2013 by The-Master 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leafeon 2,702 March 18, 2013 Share March 18, 2013 Well. She's slightly bigger. Not very noticeable, but existent. Now; why is she slightly bigger you ask? Shocking, but: Cos alicorns.

Fhaolan 4,484 March 18, 2013 Share March 18, 2013 Actually, looking at Metaright's picture there, it looks like Rainbow Dash is *shorter*, rather than Twilight being taller. It looks like RD's neck has been shortened slightly if you compare her in the hat & glasses vs. her without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I modified the thread title so it is now a bit less exagerative (nope that's not a word ). Off-Topic: why does Twilight always have that little split area in her mane? It is still in there in her alicorn state too. By Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metaright 76 March 18, 2013 Share March 18, 2013 why does Twilight always have that little split area in her mane? It is still in there in her alicorn state too. Just a design choice. Nothing more than that. If you're implying that you suspect it has some meaningful significance, you're probably barking up the wrong tree. 2 Pretty Pony Analysis Reviewing, analyzing, and overthinking cartoon horses since 2013.

It looks like RD's neck has been shortened slightly if you compare her in the hat & glasses vs. her without. It actually looks like Twilight is simply leaning forwards a tiny bit in the second shot, which would understandably lower her head in relation to Dash. ...In fact, in both images it looks like RD is leaning forwards in the first image, and twilight in the second image.

Dusty Soul 2,612 March 18, 2013 Share March 18, 2013 She didn't double in size. I don't notice a difference, but whatever. The reason probably is that she is a young alicorn and still has yet to grow. I mean Cadance was once her size when she was around twilight's age. 1 Soundcloud-------------------Facebook---------------------------Youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way to jump down my throat there pal however I never said that it had any significant meaning. I was just asking why she has it like that - I guess Lauren and the shows creators just have something against physics... that or Twilight has cowlicks which would be my bet.

Scootalove 10,689 March 18, 2013 Share March 18, 2013 (edited) Twilight does look a big bigger, but she did not double in size (relatively speaking.) But, her appearance did change because she is starting to develop changes and she will get more changes as time goes on.

Why else would you ask about something like that, after all, unless you thought it had significance? "Why does Twilight's hair have a part?" Well, why not?

Zygen 6,066 March 18, 2013 Share March 18, 2013 Idk I guess she is a little bit bigger, but not a whole lot. I think maybe it has to do with becoming an Alicorn, or maybe to show shes getting more mature and older, idk. Its not double size or anything, its a pretty small change to be honest, but its a change. Its more noticeable when shes wearing her shoes and stuff because those make her taller.

But what gave you any indication that anyone would be able to answer that? Heck, Faust herself probably has no idea why she put it there. It's just a design choice. I'm all for asking questions for fun, but you were inquiring about something so incredibly inconsequential, so of course I assumed you were looking for significance.

Well the only reasonable reason why I can think they felt the need to add it to her "design" is so that she doesn't blend in with others as easily.

This very well may be the case, but hopefully you understand that you just found significance. If they added the part so that she stands out, that's exactly the kind of significance you claimed you weren't looking for. Regardless, the Mane Six have radically different hairstyles, so I imagine the part in Twilight's mane is still just random.

EpicMuffinTime 216 March 18, 2013 Share March 18, 2013 (edited) She kind of is larger if you look real close, but it is hard to notice. Which makes sense, seeing as ALL the princesses/queens are bigger than all the other ponies.

Regardless, the Mane Six have radically different hairstyles, so I imagine the part in Twilight's mane is still just random. I wouldnt call it that significant, but really just a minor detail. Out of all the ponies I think that Applejack and Twilight sparkle look the closet to any background ponies. So they each have something to make them stand out... Applejack: a hat that no one else wears Twilight: the little cowlick in her hair These are not very significant things at all I know however I do think that in the design process they added things like that to make them easily identifiable.

Moon Rat 4,772 March 18, 2013 Share March 18, 2013 I honestly did not notice her apparent increase in size... I didn't even know she even changed all that much (other than the obvious growth in wings of course ) either I'm just blind or you're just looking too closely at it again, I really don't notice the size difference all that much... :/ Thank you Nas for the sig :3 #HugWoona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiance64 7,053 March 18, 2013 Share March 18, 2013 Yeah, she really didn't get that much larger, just a little bigger. Her horn also got a bit longer, at least it looks that way to me. Makes sense since alicorns all have long thing horns anyway, but Twilight's just stayed normal yet somewhat bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fhaolan 4,484 March 18, 2013 Share March 18, 2013 This thread is about Twilight not RD. Yes, but the only indication we have that Twilight has grown in size at all is because she appears to be bigger when put next to other ponies. I question that assumption as every image I have seen with her appearing 'bigger', the other ponies in the pictures appear to be crouching down in some way.

Makes sense since alicorns all have long thing horns anyway, but Twilight's just stayed normal yet somewhat bigger. Well aren't alicorns usually: -Taller -Have larger wing spans -Longer horn -Larger mane Twilight only has two of those attributes: -Taller -Have larger wing spans -Longer horn -Larger mane By Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Photon 0 March 18, 2013 Share March 18, 2013 Well, I'd propose tallness/size is based on 'magical capacity'. Take Luna for instance: As nightmare moon, as tall(?) as Celestia When defeated, considerably smaller with no sparkling mane Back in season 2 to now, tall (not as tall as Celestia) and lovely flowing mane. I think Faust mentioned the mane sparkling is tied to magic power, and I'd guess it's the same for tallness/size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinhead B 482 March 18, 2013 Share March 18, 2013 (edited) It's obviously all part of Celestia's plan to create a giant, War-Alicorn. Twilight's already as big as Luna, and in Season 4, she moves out of the library because it's too small for her. How big will she get? Nopony knows.... Or perhaps it's just a design choice, what with all the other princesses being bigger and all...
