Twilight Sparkle: The Mortal spirit of the Tree of Harmony?

This is just something that came off as a theory.

 

We have recently witnessed the events of the 2 part Season 4 Premier, and we all know about the Tree of Harmony.  But what we also know is that the Tree of Harmony(As well as the prime element: The Element of Magic) possess the same symbol as Twilight's Cutie Mark(Even more than a thousand years ago).

 

Which leads me to wonder this.  Is Twilight Sparkle, mortal as she is even in Alicorn form, the spirit of the Tree of Harmony considering the situations that transpired?

I'm still trying to work out what the tree means, but a few things stand out in the mind, struck me quickly. In no particular order:

 

Twilight noticed her cute mark right off and they had her verbalize her surprise.

 

The tree has all the elements on it, which is to be expected of course, but it's thing we know for sure so I'm listing it.

 

Further down the tree you could see Celestia's and Luna's cutie marks. I didn't notice if Cadence's was there.

 

The box must be opened with six yet to be found keys.

 

I need more data before I can theorize.

not sure about the mortal spirit of the tree but there is a lot of fate stuff going around in the series so it might be playing off of that. good way of adding new elements to the story without much explanation.

 

twilight and the tree have become really close related though. should be an interesting development

To me, its pretty goddamn obvious. Twi is the clear-cut chosen one that will one day take over from Celestia and bring peace to Equestria, cleansing all kinds of evil to exist throughout the land using the magic of friendship. Clearly, if the tree is the origin of the EoH, then as the wielder of the top element, Magic, Twilight, as quoted in Breaking Benjamin's "Blow Me Away", will be the one to save them all.

As much as I'd like it to be a certain other pony, I wouldn't doubt that Twilight harbors the Soul/Spirit of Harmony itself. After all, she is rightfuly the main protagonist of this show.

 

And it's always the main protagonist who transforms first... By that, I mean beyond being an alicorn. =)

Some have wondered what will represent Twilight as a princess. Celestia and Luna represent sun and moon, while Cadance is Princess of Love.
Now we can be quite sure that Twilight is the Princess of Harmony.

My guess is that Twilight is the Princess of Friendship. After all, she (literally) earned her wings when she understood the importance of friendship.

For dumb, self-important fics about mythology, ponies and fascist griffons that can't figure friendship out.

And I'm just getting started.

If Twilight Sparkle is the Tree, where does that leave Fluttershy?

 

On a more serious note, I do not think she is the spirit of the Tree of Harmony. It is more likely that she is more of a chosen avatar, she acts in the interests of the Tree. She earned her cutie mark for magic, friendship is more ore less just a powerful magic which she mastered. The Tree may have simply reached out to her to protect it, without having her be the Tree's spirit or a limb without her own will.

Not just Twilight.

 

Discord is the spirit of disharmony and chaos, right? He was defeated by the essence of the spirit of harmony, the Elements of Harmony that came from the Tree of Harmony.

 

Consider also that the Tree has the sun and moon emblazoned upon it. That means Celestia and Luna are, essentially, arbiters of the spirit of harmony. Now, the Tree has a new arbiter - Twilight.

Hey sounds like we've got ourselves a trinity of concepts.

 

Magic equals Friendship.

Twilight is the Element of Magic.

She got her Princesshood by fully understanding Friendship.

Magic is the lead element and the core of the Tree of Harmony.

And if Twilight is the physical manifestation of the Tree of Harmony...

 

Magic = Friendship = Harmony?

It's not so obvious anymore.

The cutie mark represent destiny and what the pony is.

Look at cutie marks of our alicorns. They are princesses of what their cutie marks represent. In addition Princess Cadance have crystal heart as cutie mark and she also rule Crystal Empire now.

I thought that Twilight's cutie mark represent the spark of friendship but now they showed us that elements of harmony are not necessarily conected only with friendship.

When Twilight understood the importance of friendship? In presence of Elements of Harmony (a spark in her eyes).

When she promoted to be a princess? When she fully understood friendship by fixing spell which affected Elements of Harmony.

Her cutie mark is on the tree, her destiny is connected with that tree and Elements.

She is Twilight - something what is between day and night, something that connects day with night.

She is a sparkle that connects friends, that connects elements of harmony, that connects all. She is sparkle of Harmony.

 

Magic equals Friendship.

Excluding regular magic it could be, but they already introduced also very powerful magic of love, which also can be the Magic by big M.

Can harmony be only connected with friendship? We also have the symbols of the sun and the moon on this tree. This is something bigger than magic of friendship I think.

Friendship, it is told to us, is precisely what Star Swirl was missing. And what Celestia tried to teach Twilight.

But I guess I see your point. Friendship is important, but it's not the only important thing.

Hum... We'll see.
