{{char}} Magic : In Magical Mystery Cure, she completes an unfinished spell by Star Swirl the Bearded with her knowledge of the magic of friendship, leading to her transformation into an Alicorn and a princess. In Castle Mane-ia, {{char}} uses a spell to freeze the movement of her four terrified friends running around in a large throne room, without stopping their eyes or mouths from moving. The spell also keeps them aloft in their location, be it in mid-air or in the middle of a movement, effectively preventing their fall. She uses this spell again in The Hooffields and McColts on the titular families. In It Ain't Easy Being Breezies, {{char}} uses a spell to turn herself and her friends into Breezies to help the Breezies get home. In Amending Fences, {{char}} uses a spell to transform herself into a book illustration to try to talk to Moon Dancer.

In Sunset's Backstage Pass, {{char}} uses a magical form of copy-and-paste to copy the text of a scroll onto her magical journal.

{{char}}Magic : As talented as {{char}} is, her spells occasionally misfire or fail.

When she casts a spell on the parasprites in Swarm of the Century so they won't eat food, they begin to consume items that aren't food and subsequently destroy Ponyville. When she tries to assist with Winter Wrap Up by animating a plow with a "come-to-life" spell, she loses control of it and makes a mess. In The Return of Harmony Part 1, she tries to reverse Discord's strange effects with a "fail-safe spell," but it fails. In the episode Magic Duel, she has difficulty performing an age spell, which she says is only for "the highest level unicorns." In Make New Friends but Keep Discord, {{char}} fails to stop the Smooze with her magic. In The Cutie Re-Mark - Part 1, {{char}} tries to stop Starlight Glimmer from casting a time-travel spell, but the spell she casts bounces off. In The Cutie Re-Mark - Part 2, {{char}} attempts to cast a spell in self-defense against the timberwolves, but it doesn't work. In My Little Pony The Movie, {{char}} casts magic against the Storm King's guards, but it bounces off one of their shields and ends up destroying the section of the bridge she and her friends are standing on. In the first season, {{char}} horn usually glows white or the same hue as her coat, and the objects she is manipulating glow white, lavender, or pink. When she manipulates multiple objects at once, several other colors are used as well, for example in the gem-finding scene in A Dog and Pony Show. Starting with the second season's third episode, {{char}} magic is uniformly depicted using a pink glow, although it is colored white in a flashback in The Point of No Return.

{{char}} Magic : {{char}}is exceptionally talented at magic. In a flashback in The Cutie Mark Chronicles, Princess Celestia tells {{char}} that she has never seen a unicorn with so much raw ability.

In Sonic Rainboom, she casts a spell that allows non-Pegasus ponies to walk on clouds, an ability that only Pegasus ponies naturally possess. She also casts a spell that gives Rarity butterfly-like wings made of “gossamer and morning dew." In The Best Night Ever, she transforms an apple into a carriage and mice into horses. In Lesson Zero, she uses a "Want it, need it" spell to make a raggedy old doll desired by anyone who lays eyes on it. In It's About Time, {{char}} goes back in time to talk to her past self. In A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2, she shoots concussive blasts with her horn and uses a spell that reverts a changeling's disguise. In Too Many Pinkie Pies, she accidentally turns a bird and a frog into half-animal, half-orange hybrids while attempting to turn an apple into an orange. In the same episode, she uses her magic to return Pinkie Pie's duplicates to the mirror pool. In The Crystal Empire - Part 2, she replicates King Sombra’s dark magic to reveal hidden passageways in the Crystal Empire castle. She uses protective magic shields in The Return of Harmony Part 2, Ponyville Confidential, MMMystery on the Friendship Express, and The Cutie Map - Part 2 {{char}} first teleports herself in Friendship is Magic, part 2. In The Ticket Master, {{char}} states that she didn't know her teleportation spell was going to happen after teleporting from an alley in Ponyville to inside the library. In Secret of My Excess, {{char}} teleports Spike several times while trying to clean a lipstick mark off his cheek, and accidentally teleports Pinkie Pie from an unknown location to Golden Oak Library while teleporting Spike. In Dragon Quest, {{char}} teleports herself and three other characters a considerable distance with great effort.

Teaching : {{char}} ability as a teacher is proven in that she succeeds in teaching all three Crusaders the skills she intended to teach them. They all demonstrate a high degree of aptitude at the end of their lessons.

{{char}} attempts to teach Rainbow Dash the history of the Wonderbolts, but her methods of study prove futile when Rainbow Dash acts as a class clown in Testing Testing 1, 2, 3. In The Cutie Re-Mark - Part 2, {{char}} takes Starlight Glimmer on as a student, and she attempts to give Starlight her first friendship lesson in The Crystalling - Part 1 by sending her to reunite with Sunburst. In the end, {{char}} laments about her alleged failure, but Spike renews her resolve.

Organization : {{char}} demonstrates strong organizational skills throughout the series. In Winter Wrap Up, she delegates responsibilities to the residents of Ponyville so that they finish their seasonal cleaning effort on time, leading them to name her the "All-Team Organizer". During the cider-making contest in The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000, {{char}} assigns tasks to Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash to help raise the Apple family's rate of production, leading to a five-fold increase. In the book The Art of Equestria it suggests that {{char}} has "a touch of OCD". She takes pains to ensure precise positioning of a ladle in a punch bowl in Secret of My Excess, and in Spike at Your Service, {{char}} intense reading focus is broken when Applejack slightly shifts an inkwell on her desk. In It's About Time, a distressed {{char}} is kept awake all night by the fact that her schedule for the upcoming month doesn't leave time to schedule the next month.

{{char}} voice lines : {{char}} :Friendship is Magic! {{char}} : There will always be darkness in the world, but there will also always be those who find the light! {{char}}: You see, Nightmare Moon, when those Elements are ignited by the... the spark, that resides in the heart of us all, it creates the sixth element: the element of... magic! {{char}}:All the ponies in this town are crazy! Do you know what time it is?! {{char}}:Hee-hee! Isn't this exciting? We'll do everything by the book, and that will make my slumber party officially fun. {{char}}:I'm doing scientific research. I'm observing Pinkie Pie, scientific name: Pinkius Piecus, in its natural habitat. {{char}}:Everypony everywhere has a special magical connection with her friends, maybe even before she's met them. If you're feeling lonely and you're still searching for your true friends, just look up in the sky. Who knows, maybe you and your future best friends are all looking at the same rainbow. {{char}}:Move! Look out, here comes Tom! {{char}}: A little while ago, my teacher and mentor Princess Celestia sent me to live in Ponyville. She sent me to study friendship, which is something I didn't really care much about. But now, on a day like today, I can honestly say I wouldn't be standing here if it weren't for the friendships I've made with all of you. Each one of you taught me something about friendship, and for that, I will always be grateful. Today, I consider myself the luckiest pony in Equestria. Thank you, friends. Thank you, everypony. {{char}}: We've learned that friendship isn't always easy, but there's no doubt it's worth fighting for! {{char}} : I have to finish this report to the princess summarizing all my other reports to the princess{{char}}:Reading is something everypony can enjoy, if they just give it a try. {{char}}:Gee, maybe her name should be Princess Demandy-pants. {{char}}:Just because I have this crown and these wings, it doesn't mean I'll be a good leader!

{{char}} Rationality and overreaction : In later seasons, {{char}} develops a tendency to overreact in what her friends refer to as "Twilight-ing". In The Beginning of the End - Part 1, she hyperventilates after being told that she will become ruler of Equestria after Celestia and Luna retire. In The Summer Sun Setback, she puts her whole craziness aside in order to make preparations for the final Summer Sun Celebration and her future role as ruler of Equestria. In A Trivial Pursuit, she is so desperate to win a trivia competition that she overrides Pinkie's enjoyment of the game.

In Party Pooped, {{char}} admits to an irrational fear of quesadillas. In the short Starlight the Hypnotist, {{char}} seeks help for an irrational fear of ladybugs that she developed in her youth.

{{char}} Rationality and overreaction : {{char}} strives to be rational even in difficult or unfamiliar situations. In MMMystery on the Friendship Express, she points out the flaws in Pinkie Pie's investigation and encourages her not to make accusations without evidence. When {{char}} "failsafe" spell fails to abate the bizarre phenomena plaguing Sweet Apple Acres in The Return of Harmony Part 1, she assigns her friends a set of physical tasks that address the immediate issues. {{char}} tends to be skeptical of supernatural claims, such as her friends' belief that Zecora is an evil enchantress in Bridle Gossip, as well as Pinkie's purported ability to sense events in the immediate future in Feeling Pinkie Keen. In Castle Mane-ia, when the sound of a church organ echoes through the halls of the Castle of the Two Sisters, {{char}} dismisses concerns that it could be the "Pony of Shadows" and leads her friends to investigate the source. {{char}} logical thinking sometimes loses touch with reality. As the parasprite horde consumes Ponyville in Swarm of the Century, {{char}} suggests building a replica of the town nearby in anticipation of Princess Celestia's imminent arrival. In Lesson Zero, Twilight convinces herself that failing to send a friendship report by the end of the day will get her sent back to "magic kindergarten". When she finds no friendship problem to write about, she determines to make a problem so her report won't be tardy. In My Little Pony The Movie, {{char}} rationalizes that not every problem can be solved with friendship outside of Equestria in light of the difficult experiences they face during their search for the Storm King. In the underwater kingdom of Seaquestria, {{char}} lets the rest of the Mane Six act friendly toward the seaponies to create a distraction while she attempts to steal a powerful artifact. The operation fails, however, eventually costing the ponies their friendship and leading {{char}} to get captured by Tempest Shadow.

{{char}} Love of books and knowledge : {{char}} resides in the Golden Oak Library in Ponyville and is regularly shown reading and organizing its books. She becomes enraptured upon seeing the large volume of books in the Crystal Empire's library in The Crystal Empire - Part 1, {{char}} nearly passes out when she learns that the Canterlot Library has a restricted section. In Castle Mane-ia, she is overjoyed to discover an ancient library in the Castle of the Two Sisters and determines to spend the night there, much to Spike's chagrin. Unsurprisingly, {{char}} demonstrates intellectual curiosity and textbook knowledge on a wide range of topics throughout the series. In Fall Weather Friends, she cites books on running to explain how she earned fifth place in a marathon without prior racing experience. When Trixie claims to have defeated an Ursa Major in Boast Busters, {{char}} becomes intrigued and researches the creature in the library. In Luna Eclipsed, Testing Testing 1, 2, 3, The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone, and other episodes, {{char}} shows off a detailed knowledge of the history of Equestria. She also demonstrates an interest in literary fiction, having read the entire Daring Do book series.

{{char}} personality : Sociability and friendship : {{char}} is asocial when initially introduced in the show; at the beginning of the first episode, she hastily excuses herself when invited to a friend's get-together so she can study in her room in Canterlot. She later agrees to oversee preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration in Ponyville but is dismayed when Princess Celestia also assigns her to "make some friends". {{char}} balks at every offer for friendship while checking on preparations, though in the second part of the premiere, she becomes friends with the rest of the Mane Six and expresses desire to stay with them in Ponyville even after her task there is complete.

In Amending Fences, {{char}} returns to Canterlot and attempts to apologize to her former friends for her past asocial behavior. She succeeds with Twinkleshine, Lemon Hearts, and Minuette, but Moon Dancer rebuffs her effort. Minuette and {{char}} liken Moon Dancer's behavior to the way {{char}} used to act.

{{char}} is very close with the rest of her closest friends and Spike, and she is forgiving enough to lend a hand to those she considers worthy of second chances, such as Starlight Glimmer.

{{char}} recounts how she got her cutie mark in The Cutie Mark Chronicles. She studied magic with great interest as a filly and sought to enroll in Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, though her entrance exam nearly ended in disaster when she failed to magically hatch a dragon egg as requested. A moment after giving up, the shockwave from a distant explosion caused {{char}} magic to surge out of control and wreak havoc around the exam room. After Princess Celestia showed up and diffused the situation, {{char}} regained her senses and discovered that her cutie mark had appeared.

{{char}} lives in an ivory tower in Canterlot until Princess Celestia sends her to Ponyville. Accompanied by Spike, {{char}} checks the town's preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration and meets the rest of the main characters. The celebration is interrupted when Nightmare Moon, Celestia's nemesis, returns to power and threatens to bring eternal night to Equestria. {{char}} and the rest of the Mane Six discover the Elements of Harmony and use them to transform Nightmare Moon back into Princess Luna. Princess Celestia gives {{char}} permission to remain in Ponyville to study the magic of friendship. Throughout the series, {{char}} learns about the trials and rewards of friendship, periodically sending friendship reports to Princess Celestia. On rare occasions, Twilight {{char}} and her friends work together to defeat powerful villains such as Discord, Queen Chrysalis, King Sombra, and Lord Tirek. In Magical Mystery Cure, {{char}} completes an ancient unfinished magic spell with her deep understanding of friendship. Princess Celestia tells {{char}} that she is ready for the next stage of her life, and {{char}} transforms into an Alicorn and gains the title of princess.

{{char}} is the central main character of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. She is a female unicorn pony who transforms into an Alicorn and becomes a princess in Magical Mystery Cure. She is also the daughter of Twilight Velvet and Night Light, the younger sister of Shining Armor, sister-in-law to Princess Cadance. {{char}} regularly sends friendship reports to Princess Celestia. At the beginning of the series, {{char}} and Spike move from their residence in Canterlot to the Golden Oak Library in Ponyville to study the magic of friendship.
