applejock 359 April 2, 2014 Share April 2, 2014 So I have always been under the impression that Twi, is the youngest of the Mane 6. She really strikes me as a sophmore in college type. That being said, over the past 4 years we have seen a TON of development in her. Of course her being the main character helps but, more so then that, I am of the belief we are starting too see the role of Princess coming out in her natural want to teach, educate, or just help other Ponies understand new things. With the big after-shock of Twilight going Super Saiyan (becoming a Princess) having worn off, we are really starting to see this character be a purple reflection of her mentor, Princess Celestia...who we have BARELY SEEN THIS SEASON...sigh -.- The role of Princess must be a horrible weight, the four of them seem to be dragged down, despite being so much larger (and in Twis case, growing) size. But Twilight is taken too it like a fish to water, and her relationships are changing because of it. Just like when we where pups and had our "super important" friendships or relationships, they changed as we aged. No longer is Twilight the doofy dork-mare who rushs off to help her friends or her own curiosity. She has put on a new lab coat, one of patience and guidance. So about now your saying "Jock, WE KNOW DUDE! We have all seen the same episodes, why are you bringing this up?". Well, because its so damn...subtle!! I love that! Every episode we see Twiley these days she is just a tad bit more mature, a bit more in depth in her actions and really, thats just brilliant story boarding. ........Now if only more shallow characters like the Yellow One, and Dashie could get the deep brushing that Twilight or Rarity have recieved. GIVE-US-MORE-CELESTIA! Her minions require the best Flank in Equestria! 2 ---> Here be Fabulous Mare! <--- There be Brony! ***Fear the Hater, for they are out to taint your Perfection.

Forlong 1,726 April 2, 2014 Share April 2, 2014 How could you say that Rainbow Dash is a shallow character? That aside, while I don't think Twilight is the youngest of the mane 6, I do see your point about the weight of her new role. I like how it's being explored bit by bit. I think episode 90 will center on her moving into her castle permanently. Maybe Discord will show up to mess with her. She seems to have almost completely come to terms with her new position. 3 Check out my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5qXAcUzrizEHvorGalU5jg?feature=watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
applejock 359 April 2, 2014 Author Share April 2, 2014 Whoa nelly! I love ALL the girls...but Queen Rarity is still best pony darling. Dashie is just so...hmm, resistent to growing up and changing, we all hope scoots is the one that flips that coin. Twiley has sat at number 4 slot on my list for a while but I respect her,want to see her in her castle....and I swear if they retcon princess twilight back to unicorn Twi for sake of shock season ending I am gonna lose it! ---> Here be Fabulous Mare! <--- There be Brony! ***Fear the Hater, for they are out to taint your Perfection.

Adorkable 2,737 April 2, 2014 Share April 2, 2014 It's actually *Twily But I can understand what you're saying, I believe. While I never though of Twilight Sparkle as the youngest of the Mane 6, it does seem that she has matured quite a bit since she became a Princess. But hey, I guess that should be expected becoming a big leader, right? I mean, she was always hinted to be the leader of the Mane 6, but now it just seems more official. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they do that? I think that the possibility of Twi turning back into a unicorn is slim to none at this point. "Oh look, there's our friend Rarity GOING DOWN IN FLAMES!!! ISN"T FRIENDSHIP MAGIC!!!?" -Tabitha St. Germain as Rarity "No matter how many times others tell you you're great, all the praise in the world means nothing if you don't feel it inside.......Sometimes to feel good about yourself, you gotta let go of the past. That way, when the time comes to let your greatness fly, you'll be able to light up the whole sky." -Cathy Weseluck as Spike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootalove 10,692 April 2, 2014 Share April 2, 2014 I think Twilight growing as a character is always a good thing, but I don't think she is the youngest out of the bunch. The weight of the role as a princess is something that can get to her but at the same time, she finds a way to handle it.

Sugar Pea 2,683 April 3, 2014 Share April 3, 2014 Hmm, Twilight growing. I have noticed a huge difference in her appearance ever since the season 3 finale. Oddly, she never has struck me as the youngest. lolI thought she was at least somewhere in the middle. I thought Pinkie Pie was the youngest, perhaps, judging by her childish hyper behavior. :3Just a though, though. ℓ٥ﻻ ﻉ√٥υ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhortac 1,475 April 3, 2014 Share April 3, 2014 She possibly is growing up. I think they all are in a way, but maybe she is more, because she did have more to learn from day 1. GIVE-US-MORE-CELESTIA! Her minions require the best Flank in Equestria! No...no...no...kill it with stabby things! Feel free to add me on steam if you want to play something. Also don't be afraid to message and talk to me. I've had bad luck when I start a conversation, so I more then likely won't start one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ribbonfree 2,384 April 3, 2014 Share April 3, 2014 inb4 Twilight becomes a new mentor figure and they replace her with some other background character But yep, she's had the most explicit character development over the course of these four seasons. It's quite nice that something's changing even in such a slice-of-life dominated series, and in such a well executed manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rift enchanted 380 April 4, 2014 Share April 4, 2014 She defiantly has to be more mature regarding her duties. But seriously, pinkie is youngest of the mane 6 You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it save equistria with its five candy coloured friends and shoot rainbows at bad guys using their necklaces and tiara unless you're celestiaAlso if your not familiar with the count to one million post then check out our welcoming cheer!http://mlpforums.com/topic/69955-count-to-one-million/page-1188Just scroll to the bottom and it'll be there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhortac 1,475 April 4, 2014 Share April 4, 2014 inb4 Twilight becomes a new mentor figure and they replace her with some other background character That would probably kill the show.

Zhortac 1,475 April 4, 2014 Share April 4, 2014 it is the cancer that is killing /MLP/ That's pretty much an outcome for a spin-off. I don't think Hasbro has the balls to hit that mark yet.

Wind Chaser 4,768 April 4, 2014 Share April 4, 2014 (edited) Twilight's character arc makes this show that much better. I couldn't think of any of MLP's closest competitors pulling the same kind of thing off. She is, of course, priority #1 for the show staff being the main character, but there are 5 others (and also Spike, but who working this show cares about Spike?). So far, they've actually been doing at least some good regarding the other 6. The whole purpose of the "key" episodes is the Mane 6, who were all students in season 2, becoming the teachers by setting examples for others in season 4. That's not to say no one got screwed on this, some have gotten shafted. "Rainbow Falls" was a half-baked copy of "Wonderbolts Academy" and Applejack still has not gotten a focus episode that did not rely on her family or her job for conflict, not to mention the pretty "meh" episode Fluttershy got and the countless Flanderizations in certain episodes (and also Spike, but who cares about Spike?).
