ggg-2 3,553 April 29, 2014 Share April 29, 2014 it's shown that Cadence's wings have two colors to them, pink like the rest of her coat with purple near the tips, but when we see her when she's younger her wings are all pink. Why? is it possible her wings darken as she gets older? Don't be a nerd. Join the herd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReverieRiver 526 April 29, 2014 Share April 29, 2014 It could possibly be an aesthetic thing - dye, even. People put colored streaks in their hair, maybe some winged ponies give their wings colored tips? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastel 7,630 April 29, 2014 Share April 29, 2014 (edited) is it possible her wings darken as she gets older? Yeah I think that's it, but I wonder if it's only because she's an alicorn... Edited April 29, 2014 by Blobulle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLPFanatic34 3,234 April 29, 2014 Share April 29, 2014 It's interesting cause when she was shown as a younger alicorn her wings were colored pink like her body. I guess it's due to her aging, but I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootalove 10,689 April 29, 2014 Share April 29, 2014 I think when she gets older, the colors start to change. Credit: Moony © Forum FAQ Forum Rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvadel 1,393 April 29, 2014 Share April 29, 2014 (edited) Could be that the underside doesn't have the purple highlight to it. Whoa -- went back to 3's a crowd and wow Cadance's wings are almost as purple as Twi's when unfurled -- hardly any pink at all. Edited April 29, 2014 by silvadel Silvadel, the Pegasus of Insight.

Larkybird~ 734 April 29, 2014 Share April 29, 2014 So if it's aging that caused it does this mean eventually she'll be a purple pony? I think it's more like a dye thing or something though age could be the reason too. http://i.imgur.com/1m3V4im.jpg ^full sized avatar picture there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReverieRiver 526 April 30, 2014 Share April 30, 2014 To those all talking about it being an age thing, well... Thing is, we've never seen this in any other winged ponies (at least, to my knowledge). And to those saying it's an alicorn thing - well, why don't Celestia and Luna have colored wing tips? I really do believe it's either an aesthetic change by the animators, or Cadence dyes her wings like people dye their hair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT-1138 3,183 April 30, 2014 Share April 30, 2014 Maybe it's an age thing that only affects changed alicorns? Love is a most potent magic My FiMFiction | My DA | My Facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troblems 5,619 April 30, 2014 Share April 30, 2014 Neither Celestia or Luna have darker wing-tips. More than an age thing, someone thought it looked pretty, so they changed it as an adult after lil Cadance had already been edited into the show.

#1FluttershyFan 206 April 30, 2014 Share April 30, 2014 I'd say that alicorn's wings get different colors when they get older but Celestia's and Luna's didn't and even though celestia's mane is like a rainbow, it also moves and she's the main princess so that probably natural. But with Candence, her hair is three colors and her wings have purple rips so she probably dyes it the same way that human's dye their hair. - "Um... I was just wondering if it's okay if I hold you down against your will for a little bit?" Fluttershy is Best Pony! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoots and Dash 208 April 30, 2014 Share April 30, 2014 It could be many different things. Could be her styling them that way, could be some sort of age thing, who knows. Maybe we'll get some sort of insight on it from the show but I don't have my hopes up. A slight model change might not be one of the top things the shows writers need to or want to explain. Would be nice, but for now we can only assume. I don't really think it matters that she's an Alicorn. I myself think it might just be a fashion choice. 1 Thanks to )O( Scarlet )O( for the signature!

LED Dasher 228 May 1, 2014 Share May 1, 2014 Cadence's wings probably turned purple near the tips for similar reasons Luna's and Celestia's manes started flowing. It is probably related to aging and Cadence is unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammo 986 May 1, 2014 Share May 1, 2014 Aging can lead to coloration changes. Some birds don't get markings till they reach full maturity. Either that or Cadence is secretly hitting the cough syrup and forgot to clean her wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adorkable 2,737 May 3, 2014 Share May 3, 2014 (edited) I'll bet she was born with it. Remember, Cadence was a Pegasus before an Alicorn, much like Twilight being a Unicorn before an Alicorn. I guess you could say her design is like Twilight's natural mane color. Edited May 3, 2014 by Adorkable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
