ShadOBabe 19,013 December 12, 2013 Share December 12, 2013 I think only deserving unicorns can ascend and become an alicorn. That would be a horrible message. "You can only become a ruler if you were born as a certain race"? That's awful. I believe a pony of any race could become an alicorn. And a lot of people seem to forget; ALL ponies have some kind of magic. Unicorns are the most obvious and manipulate magic most directly through their horns. But Pegasi control the weather, and Earth ponies are in tune with nature. Not to mention other kinds of magic like Pinkie's reality bending powers could be explained through Earth pony magic. My Earth pony OC functions on the same principles. She's "incredibly lucky" and performs death defying feats without a scratch because she is in tune with a particular kind of "magic", just like Pinkie's powers. 1 Check out my artwork any time: http://shadobabe.deviantart.com/ "OMG; You are such a troll.

Naive Wolf Josh 93 December 12, 2013 Share December 12, 2013 Yeah, I'm in the camp of people that believe any member of each of the pony races can become an alicorn, even bat ponies in all their fluffy ear, bat-winged glory! That being said I always will always hope that becoming an alicorn is one of the most impressive and hardest to perform of feats in the MLP:FiM world. Heck, I still think Princess Celestia hoof-picked Twilight Sparkle from very early on, sending Princess Cadence to become her foal sitter, guiding her to her magic school, leading her to become her student, later to find the Elements of Harmony, and so forth. A lot of things had to go exactly right for Twilight Sparkle to come into her role. But yeah, possible for any pony who finds the way. "Oh dear, I'm way past strange. I think I'm probably incredible." - The Doctor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can admit it's a bad message and moral. I'm familiar with the Earth pony and Pegasi magic, but of course you're right.

Lightning Bliss 1,674 January 11, 2014 Share January 11, 2014 Long as it doesn't go over board and makes the story interesting I don't see why they wouldn't have an earth pony become an alicorn, so long as its not the main 6, it needs to be a special pony we've not met before, maybe he or she has some experience with the alicorn royals and proved him/herself worthy to become one, dunno. Or heck why it not it be a stallion royal guard? I'm just a silly little alicorn, trying to get by in the fandom ^^ The Lightning Bliss Show Lightning Bliss DevianArt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary S. 102 January 11, 2014 Share January 11, 2014 (edited) Yes, but only the chosen ones. If there will be ever a male alicorn, it'll be Shining Armor, because Twilight's parents create only infant prodigies. Edited January 11, 2014 by Gary S.

Crystaldreams17 1 January 5, 2017 Share January 5, 2017 i say yes because on the crystal heart spell its mentioned that cadence was a pegasus. yet i dont think an earth pony can be an alicorn cause you can only be an alicorn if you do a princess worthy deed. :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetolebob18 728 January 5, 2017 Share January 5, 2017 Putting the pieces together, becoming an Alicorn is about understanding friendship (or love, in Cadence's case) + undergoing an ordeal or quest. In Magical Mystery Cure (? IIRC) it was stated that Starswhirl didn't completely understand friendship & that is why he failed. So, theoretically, yes anyone can become an Alicorn, magic alone won't get you there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmarston1 5,959 January 5, 2017 Share January 5, 2017 Well Twilight was a unicorn originally, and Cadence was originally a Pegasus, so maybe earth ponies can also become alicorns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applejacket 185 January 5, 2017 Share January 5, 2017 I think Miss Reaper pretty much got it panged on this one. CrystalDreams who says an earth pony couldn't do a princess worthy deed?

Steve Piranha 29,448 January 6, 2017 Share January 6, 2017 If Twi, a former unicorn, and Cadance, a former pegasus (according to Twilight's chapter book), became alicorns, I don;t see why earth ponies can't. Hell, I bet there are no limits, I bet bat ponies can become alicorns too , I just wonder if they'll keep their bat wings Sig by Discords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherri 108 October 4, 2018 Share October 4, 2018 i decided recently that my ponysona oc - sherri *she's in my icon* will be turned into a alicorn someday *maybe, around the same time that twilight did* *and she's a earth pony too but she won't be used to it... like twilight, but even more so, i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
