Princess Celestia's Plan

[ShadowRose2k 271]

This is my observation of Princess Celestia and Head Cannon theorys on her Actions in the series.

I did a quick search and did not find a related thread, if there is one it may be merged.

 

Spoilers Ahead, Maybe

 

Watching over a few episodes I was wondering.  Did Celestia have all of whats happening planned out?

 

The lessons Twilight is learning, where they all or most all planned out by her?

 

We see a bit of this in "Friendship is Magic" Ep1and 2  where she sends Twilight to Ponyville to meet her soon to be friends.   Friends that so happen to be the weilders of EoH.   Also indicating she knew of her sisters return and probly has been planning what to do about it for a thousand years.   

 

How manny tests did she place infront of Twilight and her friends?  From the obvious Galla Ticket and introducing Fluttershy to her pet pheonix and then suddenly leaving, to maybe more subtle things.   Did she send a parasprite to fluttershy?  Did she ask the Mayor to omit Twilight from the roster in Winterwrap up , even tho Twilight has been living there for a while now?    She even admited that she invited Twilight and her Friends to the Galla because she knew exactly what would happen.  

 

Did she sugest to her sister to go visit her subjects on Nightmares eve?  Probly the worst time of the year for her to show up.  Even during the Canterlot wedding I find it hard to belive that Chrsyalis had her fooled the entire time.  I find it more likly that when she showed up she thought "Ohh this will be fun."   Even after Chrsyalis reveals her self what is taking her so long to stop her, she rambles on for like a minite and a half.  (1min 35 sec, and another 15 sec to transform)  Was she just standing there looking at her watch, tapping her hoof?   I also find har dto belive that she was easly defeated.  Did she let Chysalis knock her down?  She recovered pretty fast she the Queen was defeated.

 

Lastly we see her sending a possibly dangerous spell to Twilight.  Was it all leading up to Alicorn Twilight?  Is this another step in her ultimate Goal?  What is her Goal?  Is there a threat looming that only she knows about?

 

Well that's about it for my observations. 

Is there anything ells you noticed that seems like an odd coincedence that maybe Celestia set in to motion?   Or is it all just life and that's how life goes in Equestria?

I think that Celestia's plan is to help Twilight be able to take on any unknown threat that might pose a threat to her and her friends. She is trying to teach Twilight on how to be a great princess and at the same time show a lot of leadership.

I always thought about that. It is possible that Celestia set every quest Twilight embarked on up as an elaborate test of some kind. If that is what's going on, I would be absolutely delighted to see the ultimate outcome.

I actually got to thinking about this after I watched Ink Rose  Head Cannon on Equestrian history.

Then I watched I think it was Ticket Master and just thought, Wait... did she plan this,   how far did she plan.  She is at least a thousands years old.  That is alot of time to plan and we don't really know the extent of her power and abilitys other than controlling night and day and the occasional Banishment.

I think the answer is yes and no. Twilight was her student so tests were expected, but I also think that Celestia wanted her to live a real life and make genuine friends. Some of the bigger things were tests and other stuff was just life. Twilight never lost free will and could have failed or made bad choices, but she didn't, so her dedication and hardwork paid off in the end. She gained her friends but also her wings and crown too.
