Cadence's Wings


ggg-2

Recommended Posts

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?

Yeah I think that's it, but I wonder if it's only because she's an alicorn...

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.

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.

Twilight is rubbing off on her.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I had a brief mental image of every pony Twi ever came into contact slowly turning different shades of purple and I let out a snort giggle.

That is her special alicorn power -- all the ponies shall end up purple.

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.

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.

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. :)

When she was younger, her wings only had 1 color.

True, but I assume like people, hair/feather color can change over time. :)

Good point, but remember Celestia and Luna are immortal.

What if its her version of growing the mane? If she gains more power-the tint shows. Though...cutie marks confuse me.
