History Characters / CodexEquusTwilightSparkle

* GoodCounterpart:
** To King Aspen. They're both young divine 'prodigies' and regarded as beloved rulers by their respective peoples, except Twilight/Amicitia was able to be raised by loving parents while Aspen lost his (as well as most of his sisters) to a brutal Hydianite invasion. Twilight/Amicitia was originally both an InsufferableGenius and IneffectualLoner who eventually became the champion of friendship and peaceful co-existence, while Aspen is a xenophobic and self-righteous {{Jerkass}} to those not of Deerkind. And while Twilight/Amicitia's mentor, Celestia, never let her own flaws affect how she taught her, Aspen's mentor, High King Irminsul, is a well-meaning but deeply flawed individual who imparted toxic beliefs onto his student. In short, Twilight/Amicitia represents everything Aspen could've been if he wasn't subjected to horrible tragedy or grew up in a bigoted environment surrounded by toxic people who refused to accept their own flaws out of {{Pride}}.
** To Starfall Dusk. They're both intelligent and magically-gifted Unicorns who initially started out as bookish mares who weren't interested in making friends, but that's where the similarities end. Unlike Twilight, whose rise to greatness started with making friends, Starfall gradually became obsessed with studying Ascension and friendship, causing her to commit acts so cruel and depraved that even the Alicorn Ascendancy (which she joined) [[EvenEvilHasStandards quickly disowned her]]. And unlike Twilight, who later became an Alicorn goddess and became the first {{Reincarnation}} "aspect" of Mana Equus through friendship, Starfall bound the spirits of her friends she tortured to death to herself to gain power, and when she is soundly rejected by Mana Equus, Starfall Dusk tries to outright ''rip'' Mana's soul out of Twilight. Both Twilight/Amicitia and Mana Equus note that Starfall Dusk's main failing is that [[{{Narcissist}} she ultimately cared about herself]], and acknowledges that had they made the wrong choices, they would've been in Starfall Dusk's place instead. In the end, it's Starfall Dusk's refusal to truly understand friendship or [[NeverMyFault acknowledge her own faults]] that damns her, and she is left by Twilight/Mana to her fate of being [[DraggedOffToHell taken by Nekelmu to suffer in his Hell-Realms]].
* GoodIsNotSoft: Benevolent and friendly goddess she may be, she is far more willing to be ruthless against foes that have genuinely proven themselves to be beyond redemption, even killing them if she has to.
** She was willing to strip Decepticolt, Goldencap, and Zappityhoof of their magic indefinitely because of how they callously amputated Rainbow Dash's wings for their own benefit, not even caring if this would cripple her for life. She would have made them face legal justice for their crimes, too, had Rainbow Dash not been too focused on her excitement over getting her wings back, allowing the Unicorns to escape.

* AbstractApotheosis:
** She Ascended to [[SemiDivine demi-godhood]] by (among other good deeds) finishing Starswirl the Bearderd's unfinished spell and having an epiphany regarding the nature of friendship. After her Ascension, she would be crowned a Princess by Celestia and made the newest member of the Equestrian Pantheon.
** During the 'League of Domination Crisis', she Ascends to true godhood by realizing the [[ThePowerOfFriendship true nature of magic]], which also gets her chosen by [[TheOldGods Mana Equus]] to become her first reincarnation "aspect". After this, she would inherit the throne from Celestia and Luna and was crowned as the official ruler of Equestria, changing her name to "Amicitia Sparkle Equestria" to reflect this in accordance to ancient Alicorn naming traditions.
* AdaptationalBadass: Much like her parents and older brother, she receives this treatment in ''Codex Equus''. In addition to everything she did in canon, the Codexverse expands on them and ups the scale so that her feats are much more impressive. The Codexverse also specifies that she spent almost the entire show a [[SemiDivine demigoddess]]; it's during the "League of Domination Crisis" that she Ascends to true godhood by realizing that friendship is essentially "magic" itself, allowing her to connect with and reincarnate as Mana Equus, one of the Thirteen Empyreans.

* AllYourPowersCombined: As a Alicorn goddess, she has the combined magics of all mortal Pony tribes. She also temporarily wielded all the combined power of Celestia, Luna, and Cadence in order to fight Tirek; she turned out to be so powerful that even with three fellow Equestrian Alicorn Princesses aiding her, she successfully fought Tirek (who was similarly empowered by the stolen magic of every other non-Alicorn Pony, plus [[GodOfChaos Discord]]'s) to a standstill.
* AlternateSelf: As the Codexverse is implied to be part of a ''huge'' multiverse, she has a few alternative versions of herself occupying other dimensions and timelines.

** Following Fire Ruby's accidental and permanent transformation into a Ruby Dragoness, Twilight/Amicitia allowed her to continue attending the School for Gifted Unicorns, pointing out that nothing in the rules stated that hybrids like Fire Ruby are forbidden from enrolling. This turned out have been intentional, as Fire Ruby's inclusion not only prompted the greedy Dragons to demand entry into various Gifted Schools, but also gave popular support for the idea of having Gifted Schools open for children of other races -- therefore giving Twilight/Amicitia the opportunity to do so while Tribalists, Autorists, and corrupt Canterlot nobles are powerless to stop her.

** When Talon Bàis' Dragonslayer forces attack Dragontown and other Draconic allies of Equestria, Twilight ultimately [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/926025635/5080179118 formally declares war]] on the griffon kingdom and dedicates Equestria's resources to ending their rampage.

* ChildProdigy: As a mortal filly, she had an insatiable curiosity that was naturally encouraged by her family. During her entry exam into the School for Gifted Unicorns, she displayed such an immense amount of magic that she hatched a Dragon egg and briefly aged the hatchling into a full-grown Dragon. Her sheer magic potential led to her becoming Celestia's personal student.
* TheChosenOne: Played with; while she is indeed the Chosen One for a lot of things, she's also TheUnchosenOne in that many of the things she has now, including sovereignty and godhood, were all because she ''worked'' for it and used her talents to benefit others. It has been pointed out that others could have been her if they made the right choices -- Sunset Shimmer and Starfall Dusk are two examples who had the same levels of potential and talent as her, but they both squandered it on selfish ambitions.

** Towards the end of the 'League of Domination Crisis', she ends up reincarnating as [[TheOldGods Mana Equus]] because she realized the [[ThePowerOfFriendship the true value of magic]] yet seeks to use that power for benevolent purposes. However, this ends up becoming a case of TheChosenMany later on as other Equines start reincarnating as Mana -- as stated by Mana herself, ''every'' Equine as the potential to become her due to possessing a piece of her divine essence inside them when she gave their kind magic. The more Equines reincarnate as Mana, the more Mana's soul is "tethered" to the mortal plane, making every single reincarnation co-hosts of her soul rather than a main {{Reincarnation}} and a bunch of soulless "clones". The Church of the Stars has been keeping the nature of her Ascension a secret so she wouldn't be attacked by those who think she's either [[BornWinner 'born' into greatness]] or has some kind of divine favor.

* TheArchmage: Twilight/Amicitia is presently one of the most intelligent and powerful mages alive, and even before Ascending to godhood, she had so much potential that she became the student of Celestia herself. She can quickly learn and utilize a vast library's worth of spells on a whim, [[DePower strip others of their magic indefinitely]], and notably finished a spell that even Starswirl the Bearded, a Pillar of Equestria and powerful mage himself, had difficulty completing. And despite fighting Tirek with [[AllYourPowersCombined the combined powers of all Equestrian Alicorn Princesses at once]], most of her power belonged to herself and Cadence while Tirek was partially empowered with Discord's stolen divine power, meaning that on her own, she has the power to surpass even Discord himself. What helps her is her status as a '[[TheAce prodigy deity]]', giving her greater magic reserves on top of accelerated growth rates. Luminiferous, himself a prodigy, has noted both her magical potential and overall potential as a deity rivals his own at his age, which is saying a lot. Her becoming the first reincarnation "aspect" of [[TheOldGods Mana Equus]] all but effectively formalized her status as this for all of Equidkind.

** Following Fire Ruby's accidental and permanent transformation into a Ruby Dragoness, Twilight/Amicitia allowed her to continue attending the School for Gifted Unicorns, pointing out that nothing in the rules stated that hybrids like Fire Ruby are forbidden from enrolling. This led to a drastic turned out to be intentional as Twilight/Amictia

played one in regards to Fire Ruby's situation. Despite Fire Ruby accidentally and permanently turned herself into a Ruby Dragoness, Twilight/Amicitia allowed her to continue attending the School for Gifted Unicorns as a teacher, using a loophole


originally being a Unicorn who accidentally and permanently turned herself into a Ruby Dragoness, Twilight/Amicitia allowed her to continue attending the School for Gifted Unicorns as a teacher, using a loophole to by


By allowing her, after she'd accidentally permanently turned herself into a dragoness, to attend the School For Gifted Unicorns via a loophole, it prompted the greedy and often envious dragonkind to demand entry into the Gifted Schools as well. This in turn prompted other species to do so as well, allowing her to gain popular support to open Schools For Gifted Creatures for all of Equestria's species while the Autorists and Tribalists are unable to do a thing about it.
* BenevolentMageRuler: Even as a mortal Unicorn, she was already [[TheArchmage one of the most powerful and talented mages in the world]], and becoming the Alicorn demigoddess of Magic made her even stronger. Ascending to true godhood as a reincarnation "aspect" of Mana Equus made her even ''more'' powerful -- so much that [[BigGood Luminiferous]] notes her potential is equal to his own at his age. She succeeds Celestia and Luna as the de facto ruling Princess of the Principalities of Equestria after this, but despite her present position, she remains a compassionate, friendly, and humble mare who wants to promote friendship in her lands and beyond, and improve everyone's lives.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's a very nice, good ruler and very friendly. However, she has no qualms about taking down truly monstrous villains if she needs to.
** She was ''enraged'' by Decepticolt, Goldencap, and Zappityhoof's utterly callous attempt to make themselves Alicorns by amputating Rainbow Dash's wings, and punished the trio by [[DePower stripping them of their magic indefinitely]]. The only reason they were able to escape her full wrath is because she was caught up in Rainbow Dash's excitement over regaining her wings.
** Despite being younger than King Aspen by divine years, she refuses to be intimidated by him and completely shuts down his attempts to do so every time they meet. At the end of the "Well-To-Do Crisis", she criticizes Aspen's xenophobic arrogance during the event and forces him to leave Ponyville by threatening to inform Celestia and Luna about his treatment of Ponyville. She shuts him down again in the "Homecoming of the Dvar" crisis by [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/822309536/4796645697 pointing out that she gives respect only to those who genuinely earned it]], not to those who demand it from others.

** When Talon Bàis attacks Dragontown and Equestria's other draconic allies, Twilight ultimately [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/926025635/5080179118 formally declares war]] on the griffon kingdom and dedicates Equestria's resources to ending their rampage.
* BigSisterInstinct: She loves her younger adoptive brother, Spike, and is ''very'' protective of him.

** When news of both Gael and Talon Bàis' atrocities towards mortal Dragonkind reached her, she was extremely horrified because Spike, a young Dragon, is part of her family. It's not until Talon Bàis solders and dragonslayers attacked both the the local Equestrian Dragonflights and other 'Free Dragon' allies that she [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/897831515/4960381414 unhesitatingly gave General Aryte her explicit permission to retaliate against the enemy]]. Friends have noted she spent the entire event stewing in TranquilFury.
* BirthmarkOfDestiny: Her starry Cutie Mark is the same symbol as the Element of Magic that was emblazoned on the Tree of Harmony itself, and it's noted to be something she shares with her older brother, Shining Armor. While the exact meaning of her Cutie Mark is unknown, it is generally agreed that it is proof of a great destiny, though Luminiferous points out Sunset Shimmer [[ForWantOfANail had the potential to be in her position but squandered it with her ambitions]]. Later, her Cutie Mark plays a prominent role when she discovers Mana Equus, one of the Empyrean Alicorns who gave Equidkind the gift of magic, has the same Cutie Mark. Because of her potential and genuine desire to spread friendship to everyone, she is chosen by Mana Equus to become her first {{Reincarnation}} "aspect", bequeathing her all her memories, magic, and other unique abilities currently unexplored.
* BlueBlood: {{Pun}} aside, she was born the youngest daughter and child of Duke Gypsy Night Light and Duchess Twilight, who both wield political power that's second to the authority of Princesses Celestia and Luna prior to their abdication. Years later, she would rise above her station and become the official ruling Princess of Equestria, outranking her parents.
* BornWinner: Subverted. While she was indeed born with great magical power and has a Cutie Mark that strongly resembles the Element of Magic itself, most of her greatest achievements were done through her own merit. Even Luminiferous points out that Sunset Shimmer could have been in her place had she not chosen to squander her own potential out of selfishness. Also, the reason why the Church of the Stars' members were keeping her status as a {{Reincarnation}} "aspect" of [[TheOldGods Mana Equus]] a secret from the public is so she could be protected from those who would envy/resent her for either being "born special" or having some pre-existing divine favor -- at least until things were deemed "safe" enough for the information to be made public. When some stubborn Canterlot nobles accused her of "lucking" her way to the Equestrian throne, [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/887703883/4939110734 Discord would defend her on her behalf]].

* BlueIsHeroic: Her entry describes her hair as having a dark sapphire-blue color, with purple and rose-colored stripes going through both her mane and tail. She's also a renowned Equestrian heroine, a [[TheArchmage magical prodigy]], a member of the [[AmazonBrigade Mane Six]], and a very powerful Alicorn Princess who eventually succeeded Celestia and Luna as ruler of Equestria. She is also a {{Reincarnation}} "aspect" of [[TheOldGods Mana Equus]], the [[TheArchmage Empyrean Magician]], who had dark ''blue'' hair with a light ''blue'' stripe, and was the one who gave Equidkind the ability to use magic.
* BrotherSisterIncest: Subverted. Like in canon, she is close to her older brother, Shining Armor, and [[BigBrotherWorship admires him a great deal]], but several tabloids took the chance to [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/904156163/4974854369 exaggerate this platonic closeness by portraying her and Shining Armor as being outright incestuous]]. Understandably, she was quite disgusted and pointed out that both of them are siblings and Shining Armor is already married to [[LoveGoddess Princess Cadence]].

* ForWantOfANail:
** Luminiferous notes that had circumstances played out differently, Sunset Shimmer, Celestia's previous student, would have taken Twilight's place as Alicorn goddess of Magic and the first of many {{Reincarnation}} "aspects" of Mana Equus instead. Unfortunately, Sunset squandered her potential with her selfishness and unfettered ambition, resulting in her potential going to Twilight.
** On the other hand, it's implied Twilight was prevented from going down a similar path as Sunset Shimmer when Celestia, taking notice of Twilight's IneffectualLoner and InsufferableGenius behavior, sent her student to Ponyville to make friends. As canon would show, the rest was history.
** As it turned out, Twilight's completion of Starswirl the Bearded's unfinished spell was this for the 'Hooves of Oblivion Crisis'. While her work did result in her friends' Cutie Marks being scrambled temporarily, it also protected them from Final Epoch's time-manipulation powers. Without Twilight's mistake, Queen Dazzleglow wouldn't have been able to find a way to defeat Final Epoch, allowing her Fallen ex-student to become powerful enough to "fix" timelines and RetGone anyone she perceived as 'evil'.
** Twilight ultimately saved the Principalities of Equestria from being assimilated into Griffonstone (and therefore keeping the land out of the greedy claws of Lord Goldstone and his revanchist Autorist allies)... just by approaching a then-mortal [[ShrinkingViolet Urtica]] and giving her a pep-talk about friendship.
** In her fight with Starfall Dusk, while manifesting Mana Equus' part of her soul, Twilight admits that had Starfall Dusk made the right choices and actually used her great potential for good, she would've been the one to become a goddess and Mana Equus' reincarnation instead of Twilight. Instead, Starfall Dusk squandered everything by [[TreacheryIsASpecialKindOfEvil tortured her own friends]] for the sake of power and [[NeverMyFault refusing to take responsibility for her crimes]], and now she has only herself to blame. On the other hand, Twilight/Mana Equus acknowledges in the same breath that if she made the wrong choices, she herself would've ended up like Starfall Dusk, who was condemned to suffer in Nekelmu's Hell-Realms for her crimes of breaking Primeval Laws in denying her friends' souls their eternal reward.
** Similarly to Starfall Dusk, Twilight/Amicitia found another version of her from what she called the "[[https://askresearchertwilight.tumblr.com/tagged/ResearcherTwilight/chrono Researcher Universe]]", in which she became a extremely unhinged MadScientist whose increasingly horrendous experiments culminated in the Researcher Universe being trapped in a nightmarish time loop. While the Researcher Universe was fixed by the local gods, its version of Twilight lost the great destiny that other Twilights have fulfilled, with Moondancer taking her place instead while Spike (whom she lobotomized ForScience and then re-lobotomized after his mind started healing) opting to stay in the Dragonlands as Dragon Lord out of distrust for that Twilight. [[EvilMeScaresMe Scared by the possibility of ending up like her]], Twilight/Amicitia used the Researcher Universe as [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/904477912/4971328535 a cautionary tale]] for both herself and others who showed similar levels of genius/talent never to go that far.

** During the 'League of Domination Crisis', she Ascends to true godhood by realizing the [[ThePowerOfFriendship true nature of magic]], which also gets her chosen by [[TheOldGods Mana Equus]] to become her first reincarnation "aspect". After this, she would inherit the throne from Celestia and Luna and become the official ruler of Equestria, changing her name to 'Amicitia Sparkle Equestria' to reflect this in accordance to ancient Alicorn naming traditions.
* AdaptationalBadass: Much like her parents and older brother, she receives this treatment in ''Codex Equus''. In addition to everything she did in canon, the Codexverse expands on them and ups the scale so that her feats are much more impressive. The Codexverse also specifies that she spent almost the entire show a [[SemiDivine demigoddess]]; it's during the 'League of Domination Crisis' that she Ascends to true godhood by realizing that friendship is essentially 'magic' itself, which allowed her to connect with and become the reincarnation of Mana Equus, one of the Thirteen Empyreans.
* AdaptationalIntelligence: Twilight Sparkle in canon was already a magical and scientific prodigy, but she was very neurotic, and prone to bouts of OCPD and panic attacks, especially in early seasons. Here, she is ''much'' more intelligent and competent overall, and thanks to her overcoming the neuroses that plagued her in canon, she proceeded to help pioneer various new spells and forms of {{Magitek}} that greatly benefited both Equestria and the world. Of particular note, she was able to create a spell straight out of ''Fanfic/TheImmortalGame'', which not only has enough power to ''wound'' Despotic Destiny, an older god with an insane HealingFactor, but outright ''kill'' younger deities as well.
* AdaptationalWealth: In canon, it's not specified if she and her family were well-off or not, but they do live in Canterlot. Here, she was born the daughter of a Duke and Duchess who are not only important figures among the Canterlot nobility for their [[HeroicLineage ancestry]] and powers, but are also implied to be holders of their own demesne.
* AdaptationNameChange: In canon, she keeps her birth name even after inheriting the throne and becoming Equestria's official sovereign following Celestia and Luna's abdication. Here, she changes her name to 'Amicitia Sparkle Equestria' during her coronation; this is not only accordance to an ancient Alicorn tradition that requires all Alicorns to change their names upon becoming the ruler(s) of a specific place, it also references the ''Fanfic/PonyPOVSeries'', where the Twilight Sparkle of that 'verse also changes her name to Amicitia after Ascending and replacing the dead goddess she inherited her position from.
* AllYourPowersCombined: As a Alicorn goddess, she has the combined magics of all mortal Pony tribes. She also temporarily wielded all the combined power of Celestia, Luna, and Cadence in order to fight Tirek; she turned out to be so powerful that even with four Equestrian Alicorn Princesses aiding her, she successfully fought Tirek (who was similarly empowered by the stolen magic of every other non-Alicorn Pony, plus [[GodOfChaos Discord]]'s) to a standstill.

** [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/904156163/4977972766 Another version of Twilight/Amicitia]] from the Fanfic/EquestriaDivided timeline slowly slipped into evil following the [[HaveYouSeenMyGod disappearances of Celestia and Luna]] and the severe CrisisOfFaith that followed. After an ill-planned attempt to create Alicorns that will replace Celestia and Luna (which killed Pinkie Pie and heavily disfigured Rainbow Dash), Twilight/Amicitia became a brutal warlord and [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Unicorn supremacist]], leading House Moon and Star in a bid to conquer Equestria so she could rule it through a superior Pony race she planned to create. This led to her getting into a brutal multi-faction civil war with her former friends, all who also became warlords themselves with their own designs for Equestria. Eventually, however, that Twilight/Amicitia, along with her former friends, were defeated via intervention from various divine and mortal factions, and later tried, imprisoned, and executed for numerous war crimes (save for the Laughing Mare who was banished to whence she came and Pinkie Pie who was given a proper burial).

* ArchEnemy: She is staunchly opposed by various Tribalist and Autorist factions, who see her as a major obstacle to promoting tribal/racial superiority across Equestria and beyond. The feeling is mutual, especially since their bigotry attracted the Windigos during the 'League of Domination Crisis'. Drabbles and quotes featuring her often involve punishing Tribalists/Autorists or [[ShutUpHannibal verbally deconstructing their twisted beliefs]].
* TheArchmage: She's presently one of the most intelligent and powerful mages alive, and even before Ascending to godhood, she had so much potential that it led to her becoming the student of Celestia herself. She can quickly learn and utilize a vast library's worth of spells on a whim, [[DePower strip others of their magic indefinitely]], and, notably, finished a spell that even Starswirl the Bearded, a Pillar of Equestria and powerful mage himself, had difficulty completing. And despite fighting Tirek with [[AllYourPowersCombined the combined powers of all Equestrian Alicorn Princesses at once]], most of her power belonged to herself and Cadence while Tirek was partially empowered with Discord's stolen power, meaning that on her own, she has the power to surpass even Discord himself. What helps her is her status as a '[[TheAce prodigy deity]]', giving her greater magic reserves on top of accelerated growth rates. Luminiferous, himself a prodigy, has noted both her magical potential and overall potential as a deity rivals his own at his age, which is saying a lot. Her becoming the first reincarnation "aspect" of [[TheOldGods Mana Equus]] all but effectively formalized her status as this for all of Equidkind.
* BadassTeacher: She's the founder and head of the School of Friendship, an international school that invites children from all races to learn. And like Celestia before her, she's the personal mentor of a few students like Starlight Glimmer. She's also the official ruler of Equestria, an Alicorn '[[TheAce prodigy]]' and [[TheArchmage one of the most powerful spellcasters on Equus]] as well as a {{Reincarnation}} "aspect" of Mana Equus, Equidkind's first mage and the one responsible for giving all Equid species the gift of magic.
* BatmanGambit: She played one in regards to Fire Ruby's situation. By allowing her, after she'd accidentally permanently turned herself into a dragoness, to attend the School For Gifted Unicorns via a loophole, it prompted the greedy and often envious dragonkind to demand entry into the Gifted Schools as well. This in turn prompted other species to do so as well, allowing her to gain popular support to open Schools For Gifted Creatures for all of Equestria's species while the Autorists and Tribalists are unable to do a thing about it.

* TopGod: A "King of the Gods" example. After Ascending to true godhood :and becoming [[TheOldGods Mana Equus]]' first reincarnation ""aspect", she would later replace Celestia as leader of the Equestrian Pantheon. Celestia felt her student was more talented at leadership than she is, and engineered things so she would step down to make way for her successor in the future.

It's noted that had Twilight/Amicitia chosen differently, her position would have been filled by others like Sunset Shimmer and Starfall Dusk, but ultimately it fell to her because the two aforementioned mares squandered their own potential on selfish ambitions.

* WasItReallyWorthIt: She tried invoking this realization in a group of Autorists and Tribalists by [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/842818856/4845863448 showing them detailed recordings of the Dvar's xenophobic imperialism]], which were disturbingly similar to their own. While some ended up ''admiring'' the Dvar's corruption, it did make others [[HeelRealization reconsider their own racist/tribalist mindsets]].

* WaveMotionGun: In a ShoutOut to ''Fanfic/TheImmortalGame'', she [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/903455394/4963628427 develops and unleashes]] an attack on Despotic Destiny during the 'War Against Order' that involves collecting enormous quantities of metallic object, superheating the collected metal until they melt into a white-hot liquid mass, dumping the molten metal into a spatially-looping pocket dimension where they are pulled down by gravity is in one direction and accelerated to relativisitic speeds (read: 14% speed of light or above), before finally opening a portal under the accelerated hot metallic stream and launching the mass straight towards an opponent as a relativistic stream of white-hot molten metal. It's so devastating (as it was infused with Amicitia's Primordial Quintessence, and inertial mass increases exponentially the closer an object accelerates to light speed) that even Despotic Destiny, who possessed incredible durability and regeneration due to having power rivalling ''Discord'', was heavily injured trying to withstand it. It's also noted that theoretically it could even slay lesser gods outright.

!!Princess Amicitia Sparkle Equestria, the Spark of Friendship[=/=]Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Friendship

** Towards the end of the 'League of Domination Crisis', she meets the [[TheOldGods Thirteenth Empyrean]], Mana Equus, who turns out to be heavily similar to Amicitia. Not only is Mana Equus an intelligent and powerful [[TheArchmage mage]] like Amicitia, but she's also a staunch believer in ThePowerOfFriendship, as that's what motivated [[TheMaker King Equus]] to create Equinekind. Mana Equus is also an EndearinglyDorky bookworm who [[EndearinglyDorky geeks out like Amicitia does whenever she makes a successful discovery]], which is what she does when Amicitia correctly answers "friendship is magic" in response to her question.

'''Princess Amicitia Sparkle Equestria/Mana Equus:''' '''''YOU HAD MANY CHANCES TO CHANGE. MANY CHANCES TO UNDERSTAND... AND EVEN NOW, YOU WILL NEVER LISTEN.''''' ''([[ICantLookGesture turns away]])'' '''''I CAN DO NOTHING MORE FOR YOU. ALL I CAN DO NOW IS LEAVE YOU TO THE FATE YOU BROUGHT UPON YOURSELF.''''''

* {{Reincarnation}}: During the "League of Domination Crisis", she manages to make her magic core regenerate by realizing [[ThePowerOfFriendship the true meaning of magic]], resulting in her reincarnating as Mana Equus, one of Equidkind's first deities after King Equus himself and the one who gave Equidind magic. While she remains the dominant persona, her "true" nature is now a combination of herself and Mana. While she remains the dominant persona, her "true" nature is now a combination of herself and Mana. However, due to how souls and divine reincarnation works in this setting, she ends up sharing Mana's soul with other Equines as they start making the same leap, resulting in all of them becoming "aspects" and co-hosts who share a HiveMind with each other due to being technically the same person.

** She discovers to her horror that her Ascension to demigodhood partially inspired [[MadScientist Noble Grace and Bubbling Beaker]] to [[WouldHurtAChild perform horrific experiments on Pony foals and teenagers]] in order to replicate the Ascension process for the rest of Ponykind, ultimately leading to the 'birth' of Crystal Prism. She is so afflicted with guilt afterwards that she wishes she never earned her wings at all, until her mother, Twilight Velvet, snaps her out of this mindset by informing her that [[SurprisinglyREalisticOutcome blaming herself for something that isn't even her fault isn't going to help anyone]].

Princess Amicitia Sparkle Equestria, born Twilight Sparkle (her entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Deities-and-Divines-Equestrian-Pantheon-937821899 here]]) is the Alicorn goddess of Friendship, Magic, Happy Endings, and Mana, and the previous Bearer of the Element of Magic.

** Despite being younger than King Aspen by divine years, she refuses to be intimidated by him and would completely shut down his attempts to do so. At the end of the 'Well-To-Do Crisis', she criticizes Aspen's xenophobic arrogance during the event and forces him to leave Ponyville by threatening to inform Celestia and Luna about his treatment of Ponyville. She shuts him down again in the 'Homecoming of the Dvar' crisis by pointing out that she gives respect only to those who genuinely earned it, not to those who demand it from others.
** Starfall Dusk's torture and murder of her own friends enrages Amicitia so much that it causes Mana Equus to surface, and thus confronting Starfall with her entire soul. She proceeds to [[CurbstompBattle completely wreck Starfall]] while giving her a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, before allowing [[GodOfEvil Nekelmu]] to [[DraggedOffToHell drag Starfall to her fate for violating a Primeval Law]]. Though even then, Amicitia is more sad and disappointed than enraged.

The Church of the Stars has been keeping the nature of her Ascension a secret so she wouldn't be attacked by those who think she's either [[BornWinner 'born' into greatness]] or has some kind of divine favor]].

** Luminiferous notes that had circumstances played out differently, Sunset Shimmer, Celestia's previous student, would have taken Twilight's place as Alicorn goddess of Magic and the first of many {{Reincarnation}} ""aspects" of Mana Equus]] instead. Unfortunately, Sunset squandered her potential with her selfishness and unfettered ambition, resulting in her potential going to Twilight.

* HumbleHero: Despite her divinity and (many) achievements, she knows she is not perfect, and would be the first one to say so. This is partially why Mana Equus chose her -- rather than seize the opportunity to become Mana's reincarnation out of [[AmbitionIsEvil ambition]] or [[ItsAllAboutMe selfishness]], she humbly believes that she isn't worthy of reincarnating as one of Equinekind's first deities, but still chooses to because she puts the well-being of other people first.]]

* MagicStaff: After the Council of Friendship lost their first fight with Sekra, Amicitia gets one of these called ''Arcane Nova'', made by the Goddess of Wand Making, Princess Magicum Ponyland, herself, to enhance her power.

* PurpleIsPowerful: She's born with a lavender pelt. She's also a very intelligent and talented mage to the point where she's considered a prodigy, and because of this, both her physical and magical growth as an Alicorn goddess are accelerated faster than the growth of a normal deity. She's also managed to become the first reincarnation "aspect" of Mana Equus, the Empyrean Magician/The Thirteenth Empyrean, one of Equidkind's first gods and the one who bequeathed magic to them in the first place.]]

!Princess Amicitia Sparkle Equestria, the Spark of Friendship[=/=]Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Friendship

Princess Amicitia Sparkle Equestria, born Twilight Sparkle (her entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Deities-and-Divines-Equestrian-Pantheon-937821899 here]]) is the Alicorn goddess of Friendship, Magic, Happy Endings, and Mana, and the previous Bearer of the Element of Magic. She was once a unicorn and Celestia's prized student until she Ascended.

** During the 'League of Domination Crisis', she Ascends to true godhood by [[spoiler:realizing the [[ThePowerOfFriendship true nature of magic]], which also gets her chosen by [[TheOldGods Mana Equus]] to become her official reincarnation]]. After this, she would inherit the throne from Celestia and Luna and become the official ruler of Equestria, changing her name to 'Amicitia Sparkle Equestria' to reflect this in accordance to ancient Alicorn naming traditions.
* AdaptationalBadass: Much like her parents and older brother, she receives this treatment in ''Codex Equus''. In addition to everything she did in canon, the Codexverse expands on them and ups the scale so that her feats are much more impressive. The Codexverse also specifies that she spent almost the entire show a [[SemiDivine demigoddess]]; it's during the 'League of Domination Crisis' that she Ascends to true godhood [[spoiler:by realizing that friendship is essentially 'magic' itself, which allowed her to connect with and become the reincarnation of Mana Equus, one of the Thirteen Empyreans]].

* AdaptationNameChange: In canon, she keeps her birth name even after inheriting the throne and becoming Equestria's official sovereign following Celestia and Luna's abdication. Here, she changes her name to 'Amicitia Sparkle Equestria' during her coronation; this is not only accordance to an ancient Alicorn tradition that requires all Alicorns to change their names upon becoming the ruler(s) of a specific place, it also references the ''Fanfic/PonyPOVSeries'', where the Twilight Sparkle of that 'verse also changes her name to Amicitia after Ascending [[spoiler:and replacing the dead goddess she inherited her position from]].

* TheArchmage: She's presently one of the most intelligent and powerful mages alive, and even before Ascending to godhood, she had so much potential that it led to her becoming the student of Celestia herself. She can quickly learn and utilize a vast library's worth of spells on a whim, [[DePower strip others of their magic indefinitely]], and, notably, finished a spell that even Starswirl the Bearded, a Pillar of Equestria and powerful mage himself, had difficulty completing. And despite fighting Tirek with [[AllYourPowersCombined the combined powers of all Equestrian Alicorn Princesses at once]], most of her power belonged to herself and Cadence while Tirek was partially empowered with Discord's stolen power, meaning that on her own, she has the power to surpass even Discord himself. What helps her is her status as a '[[TheAce prodigy deity]]', giving her greater magic reserves on top of accelerated growth rates. Luminiferous, himself a prodigy, has noted both her magical potential and overall potential as a deity rivals his own at his age, which is saying a lot. [[spoiler:Her becoming the official reincarnation of [[TheOldGods Mana Equus]] all but effectively formalized her status as this for all of Equidkind]].
* BadassTeacher: She's the founder and head of the School of Friendship, an international school that invites children from all races to learn. And like Celestia before her, she's the personal mentor of a few students like Starlight Glimmer. She's also the official ruler of Equestria, an Alicorn '[[TheAce prodigy]]' and [[TheArchmage one of the most powerful spellcasters on Equus]] [[spoiler:as well as the {{Reincarnation}} of Mana Equus, Equidkind's first mage and the one responsible for giving all Equid species the gift of magic]].

* BenevolentMageRuler: Even as a mortal Unicorn, she was already [[TheArchmage one of the most powerful and talented mages in the world]], and becoming the Alicorn demigoddess of Magic made her even stronger. Ascending to true godhood [[spoiler:as a reincarnation of Mana Equus]] made her even ''more'' powerful -- so much that [[BigGood Luminiferous]] notes her potential is equal to his own at his age. She succeeds Celestia and Luna as the de facto ruling Princess of the Principalities of Equestria after this, but despite her present position, she remains a compassionate, friendly, and humble mare who wants to promote friendship in her lands and beyond, and improve everyone's lives.

** Starfall Dusk's torture and murder of her own friends enrages Amicitia so much that [[spoiler:it causes Mana Equus to surface, and thus confronting Starfall with her entire soul.]] She proceeds to [[CurbstompBattle completely wreck Starfall]] while giving her a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, before allowing [[GodOfEvil Nekelmu]] to [[DraggedOffToHell drag Starfall to her fate for violating a Primeval Law]]. Though even then, Amicitia is more sad and disappointed than enraged.

* BirthmarkOfDestiny: Her starry Cutie Mark is the same symbol as the Element of Magic that was emblazoned on the Tree of Harmony itself, and it's noted to be something she shares with her older brother, Shining Armor. While the exact meaning of her Cutie Mark is unknown, it is generally agreed that it is proof of a great destiny, though Luminiferous points out Sunset Shimmer [[ForWantOfANail had the potential to be in her position but squandered it with her ambitions]]. [[spoiler:Later, her Cutie Mark plays a prominent role when she discovers Mana Equus, one of the Empyrean Alicorns who gave Equidkind the gift of magic, has the same Cutie Mark. Because of her potential and genuine desire to spread friendship to everyone, she is chosen by Mana Equus to become her {{Reincarnation}}, bequeathing her all her memories, magic, and other unique abilities currently unexplored]].

* BornWinner: Subverted. While she was indeed born with great magical power and has a Cutie Mark that strongly resembles the Element of Magic itself, most of her greatest achievements were done through her own merit. Even Luminiferous points out that Sunset Shimmer could have been in her place had she not chosen to squander her own potential out of selfishness. [[spoiler:Also, the reason why the Church of the Stars' members were keeping her status as a {{Reincarnation}} of [[TheOldGods Mana Equus]] a secret from the public is so she could be protected from those who would envy/resent her for either being 'born special' or having some pre-existing divine favor]]. When some stubborn Canterlot nobles accused her of 'lucking' her way to the Equestrian throne, [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/887703883/4939110734 Discord would defend her on her behalf]].

* BlueIsHeroic: Her entry describes her hair as having a dark sapphire-blue color, with purple and rose-colored stripes going through both her mane and tail. She's also a renowned Equestrian heroine, a [[TheArchmage magical prodigy]], a member of the [[AmazonBrigade Mane Six]], and a very powerful Alicorn Princess who eventually succeeded Celestia and Luna as ruler of Equestria. [[spoiler:She is also the {{Reincarnation}} of [[TheOldGods Mana Equus]], the [[TheArchmage Empyrean Magician]], who had dark ''blue'' hair with a light ''blue'' stripe, and was the one who gave Equidkind the ability to use magic]].

** Towards the end of the 'League of Domination Crisis', [[spoiler:she ends up becoming the {{Reincarnation}} for [[TheOldGods Mana Equus]]. While Mana does state ''everyone'' has the potential to do the same thing due to her giving Equinekind the gift of magic (and therefore a piece of herself), she specifically chooses Amicitia because the latter is not only the first one to reach her, but also recognizes the [[ThePowerOfFriendship the true value of magic]] yet seeks to use that power for benevolent purposes. The Church of the Stars has been keeping the nature of her Ascension a secret so she wouldn't be attacked by those who think she's either [[BornWinner 'born' into greatness]] or has some kind of divine favor]].

** It's reported InUniverse that she befriended King Moon Ray Vaughoof/Canticum Lunae Cahaya, likely over undergoing a big transformation that gave them new insights and powers, [[UnskilledButStrong but with little control or experience over them]]. The difference is that Moon Ray/Canticum became an EldritchAbomination after realizing the cyclic nature of things and reconciling with his [[{{Seers}} Prophecy domain]], whereas [[spoiler:Amicitia Ascended to true godhood by realizing that friendship is magic, which allowed her to become the {{Reincarnation}} of [[TheArchmage Mana Equus]], the [[TheOldGods Thirteenth Empyrean]]. This information is kept secret by the Church of the Stars to protect her from those who might resent her for being 'born' into greatness or having some kind of divine favor]].

** Towards the end of the 'League of Domination Crisis', she meets [[spoiler:the [[TheOldGods Thirteenth Empyrean]], Mana Equus, who turns out to be heavily similar to Amicitia. Not only is Mana Equus an intelligent and powerful [[TheArchmage mage]] like Amicitia, but she's also a staunch believer in ThePowerOfFriendship, as that's what motivated [[TheMaker King Equus]] to create Equinekind. Mana Equus is also an EndearinglyDorky bookworm who geeks out like Amicitia does whenever she makes a successful discovery, which is what she does when Amicitia correctly answers "friendship is magic" in response to her question]].

** [[spoiler:She's also related to Mana Equus in a weird way -- as noted above, she's descended from Peachy, who is both the adoptive (and technically biological) daughter of Emperor Golden Scepter, who is a biological nephew of Mana Equus. However, during the "League of Domination Crisis", she Ascends to godhood and ends up reincarnating as Mana Equus due to her strong beliefs in friendship resonating with Mana's spirit. Now she is the great-aunt of almost ''every'' character from previous generations of ''My Little Pony'' and even non-''MLP'' media, such as Mzazi/Zigzag, Peachy, Golden Scepter, and any children they have had, as well as a 'sister' of the Thirteen Empyerans, who are expies of the [[WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime Thirteen Primes]]]].
* CurbStompBattle: Despite Starfall Dusk having empowered herself with the Elements of Harmony and the bound souls of her friends, she was beaten very easily [[spoiler:thanks to the Elements betraying her and Twilight/Amicitia increasing her own power by manifesting Mana Equus' part of her soul as Mana's reincarnation]].
* DarkIsNotEvil: Her birth name is ''Twilight'' Sparkle, which refers to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight a period where the day and night intersect]], and she has a dark sapphire-blue mane and tail. She's also a benevolent and powerful Equestrian heroine who eventually becomes an Alicorn goddess. This is taken even further when [[spoiler:she reincarnates as Mana Equus, who had a similarly dark blue mane and tail as well as a dark blue wing gradient in life]].

* DeityOfHumanOrigin: As in canon, she went from a mortal Unicorn to an Alicorn demigoddess by completing/rewriting Starswirl's unfinished spell. During the 'League of Domination Crisis', she would Ascend to true godhood by realizing [[ThePowerOfFriendship the true power of magic]]. [[spoiler:This leads to her Ascending ''even further'' when, in doing so, she makes her magic core regenerate and becomes the {{Reincarnation}} of [[TheOldGods Mana Equus]]]].

* EndearinglyDorky: Much like her canon self, she is incredibly dorky, a trait that she inherited from her father. [[spoiler:She is very surprised and weirded out when she discovers Mana Equus is not only just as dorky, but is ''the first'' Equid dork]].
* ExplainExplainOhCrap: [[spoiler:After being asked by Mana Equus on what happened to [[AmnesiacHero Tranquil Harbor]], she recalls Tranquil Harbor had a piece of the dead god Promes inside of him that later regenerated. That's when she realizes he effectively became Promes' reincarnation]].
--> '''[[spoiler:Mana Equus]]:''' [[spoiler:...Do you remember what happened to Tranquil Harbor?]]\\
'''Princess Twilight Sparkle:''' [[spoiler:He had a piece of Promes inside of him and... ''(realizes what happened to Tranquil Harbor)'' It regenerated and he became... became...]]

** To Moon Ray Vaughoof: Both are divine prodigies, except Twilight/Amicitia specializes in magic, whereas Moon Ray specializes in PsychicPowers. Twilight/Amicitia was born into nobility, while Moon Ray was born to a family of average income. Twilight/Amicitia had GoodParents growing up, while Moon Ray's birth father was an abusive drunk (though he does get adopted into a massive family of [[DontFearTheReaper Death deities]] later on). Twilight/Amicitia was an [[IneffectualLoner introverted shut-in]] who learns to make friends with others in order to defeat [[MadGod Nightmare Moon]], while Moon Ray was an angry, bitter, and traumatized person who [[TookALevelInKindness learns to be more forgiving of others' transgressions]]. Twilight/Amicitia is the named centerpiece of an overarching prophecy as "She Who Will Unite Us All", whereas Moon Ray can "[[ScrewDestiny break]]" prophecies and cycles after his EldritchTransformation (and believes no one can predict everything). And while Twilight/Amicitia [[spoiler:managed to become the {{Reincarnation}} of a dead goddess, with that fact kept secret by the Church of the Stars]], Moon Ray is a Death god whose eldritch status is well-known by the public and causes him to shift through an endless cycle of life and death.

** Luminiferous notes that had circumstances played out differently, Sunset Shimmer, Celestia's previous student, would have taken Twilight's place as Alicorn goddess of Magic [[spoiler:and the official {{Reincarnation}} of Mana Equus]] instead. Unfortunately, Sunset squandered her potential with her selfishness and unfettered ambition, resulting in her potential going to Twilight.

** In her fight with Starfall Dusk, [[spoiler:while manifesting Mana Equus' part of her soul]], Twilight admits that had Starfall Dusk made the right choices and actually used her great potential for good, she would've been the one to become a goddess [[spoiler:and Mana Equus' reincarnation instead of Twilight]]. Instead, Starfall Dusk squandered everything by [[TreacheryIsASpecialKindOfEvil tortured her own friends]] for the sake of power and [[NeverMyFault refusing to take responsibility for her crimes]], and now she has only herself to blame. On the other hand, Twilight[[spoiler:/Mana Equus]] acknowledges in the same breath that if she made the wrong choices, she herself would've ended up like Starfall Dusk, [[spoiler:who was condemned to suffer in Nekelmu's Hell-Realms for her crimes of breaking Primeval Laws in denying her friends' souls their eternal reward]].

* FromZeroToHero: Like in canon, she went from a bookish, introverted InsufferableGenius who thought she was better off without friends, to a renowned Equestrian heroine and, following her Ascension to demi-godhood, one of the official ruling Princesses of Equestria. Then following the 'League of Domination Crisis', she becomes a true goddess, [[spoiler:the {{Reincarnation}} of [[TheArchmage Mana Equus]], one of the [[TheOldGods Thirteen Empyreans]]]], and replaces both Celestia and Luna as the sole ruler of Equestria. Both deities and mortals also recognize and acknowledge her as possibly one of the most powerful Alicorn mages on the planet.

** To Starfall Dusk. They're both intelligent and magically-gifted Unicorns who initially started out as bookish mares who weren't interested in making friends, but that's where the similarities end. Unlike Twilight, whose rise to greatness started with making friends, Starfall gradually became obsessed with studying Ascension and friendship, causing her to commit acts so cruel and depraved that even the Alicorn Ascendancy (which she joined) [[EvenEvilHasStandards quickly disowned her]]. And unlike Twilight, who later became an Alicorn goddess [[spoiler:and became the {{Reincarnation}} of Mana Equus]] through friendship, Starfall bound the spirits of her friends she tortured to death to herself to gain power, and when [[spoiler:she is soundly rejected by Mana Equus, Starfall Dusk tries to outright ''rip'' Mana's soul out of Twilight]]. Twilight[[spoiler:/Mana Equus]] notes that Starfall Dusk's main failing is that [[{{Narcissist}} she ultimately cared about herself]], and acknowledges that had she made the wrong choices, she would've been in Starfall Dusk's place instead. In the end, it's Starfall Dusk's refusal to truly understand friendship or [[NeverMyFault acknowledge her own faults]] that damns her, [[spoiler:and she is left by Twilight to her fate of being [[DraggedOffToHell taken by Nekelmu to suffer in his Hell-Realms]]]].

** She was ''furious'' with Starfall Dusk for torturing her own friends to death and binding their souls to herself for the sake of [[GodhoodSeeker becoming a goddess]] -- so much that [[spoiler:she manifests [[TheOldGods Mana Equus]]' part of her soul. Then she [[CurbStompBattle defeats]] Starfall Dusk quite easily and frees the latter's friends with the help of the Mane Six, before giving her a lengthy TheReasonYouSuckSpeech on why she would never become Mana Equus' reincarnation or a goddess at all. She also lets Starfall Dusk be taken by [[GodOfEvil Nekelmu]] to be punished for her crimes, but by this point she is more sympathetic and disappointed for her than angry]].

** She participated in the investigations of the Striga Family, and focused on locating their victims and clients, even if those who were transferred into host bodies were entirely innocent. In one case, she was enraged with how Lucky Shot's tribalist, aristocratic grandparents treated him (had [[spoiler:both of his parents killed in a bombing that was originally an assassination gone wrong, took the horribly burned Lucky Shot and had his soul transferred into the body of a unicorn colt without his consent, and]] horribly abused him in trying to mold him into the ideal Unicorn scion) and had them arrested.
* GodOfGood: She is an Alicorn goddess who embodies Friendship, Magic, and Happy Endings. Furthermore, they're the same domains possessed by Twilight Sparkle from the ''Fanfic/PonyPOVSeries'' [[spoiler:after she Ascends as Princess Amicitia and replaces [[PosthumousCharacter the original Amicitia]]]].

* HiveMind: [[spoiler:This is the true nature of her PsychicLink with Blue Suede/Caerulus and Bossa Nova/Rubeus. As all three of them reincarnated as [[TheOldGods Mana Equus]], the [[TheArchmage Empyrean Magician]], they are technically the same person, and this resulted in the three being able to telepathically communicate with each other, sense each other's presences, and see through their eyes as Blue Suede/Caerulus and Bossa Nova/Rubeus would with their TwinTelepathy. However, it's downplayed as all three do have individual personalities and are able to act on their own, unlike most examples]].
* HumbleHero: Despite her divinity and (many) achievements, she knows she is not perfect, and would be the first one to say so. [[spoiler:This is partially why Mana Equus chose her -- rather than seize the opportunity to become Mana's reincarnation out of ambition or selfishness, she humbly believes she isn't worthy of reincarnating as one of Equinekind's first deities, but still chooses to because she puts the well-being of other people first.]]
* ICantLookGesture: She[[spoiler:/Mana Equus]] looks away, unable to watch, while [[spoiler:Starfall Dusk is dragged away, kicking and screaming, by Nekelmu to his Hell-Realms for breaking the Primeval Laws in [[AndIMustScream denying her own friends' souls the right to pass on to a Heaven-Realm]]]].

* ImmortalGenius: She is a mix of both this and EmperorScientist. A magical and scientific prodigy even as a mortal, she Ascended to demi-godhood by finishing a spell created by the Pillar of Equestrias' Starswirl the Bearded, who notably had trouble with completing it himself. Following her first Ascension, she would create and pioneer various spells and {{Magitek}} well into the Fourth Age. After Ascending to true godhood [[spoiler:and becoming [[TheOldGods Mana Equus]]' reincarnation]], she would continue her work, all while being [[ModestRoyalty humble royalty]]. Indeed, she would earn her reputation as being one of the most powerful and accomplished divine mages alive.
* ImmortalRuler: She was an '[[DeityOfHumanOrigin Ascendant demigod]]' Princess for much of the Codexverse, as was in canon, and technically, Ponyville is seen by visiting royal mortal/divine dignitaries as Twilight's territory. Later on, she would become the official ruler of Equestria itself after she Ascends as an Alicorn Godling [[spoiler:and as a divine reincarnation of Mana Equus]] during the "League of Domination Crisis", and Princesses Celestia and Luna abdicate the throne in order to make way for her, having intended her to be their successor all along. To symbolize her transformation into an official ruling Princess, she would be renamed 'Princess Amicitia Sparkle Equestria', as ancient Alicorn traditions dictated that full-fledged Alicorn royalty must take the name of the country they're ruling over as part of their names.

* IntergenerationalFriendship: She became friends with [[Music/StevieRayVaughan Moon Ray Vaughoof]], who is chronologically three Ages older than her despite him being physically an [[TheOldGods Empyrean]]-level Alicorn post-EldritchTransformation. Their friendship is mostly based on their experiences of being UnskilledButStrong [[spoiler:though Amicitia/Twilight's status as Mana Equus' reincarnation is kept a secret from the public]].

* MagicIsFeminine: She's a [[DeityOfHumanOrigin Unicorn mare-turned-Alicorn goddess]] [[spoiler:as well as the {{Reincarnation}} of Mana Equus, the Empyrean Magician]], and one of her domains is Magic. She's also considered to be [[TheArchmage one of the greatest divine mages in Equestria, if not the world]]. Because Equestria was still a matriarchy by the time she became its ruler, many Ponies believed that only mares like her, Sunset Shimmer, and Starlight Glimmer are capable of wielding powerful magic. She herself ''strongly'' disagrees -- when she discovered, through her investigations of many ancient Equestrian magic schools, that several corrupt female authorities were using this to justify [[StrawFeminist their abuse of male students]], she promptly had the corrupt mares arrested and [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech chewed them out for their misandry]], listing off the top of her head various divine/mortal stallions who are powerful mages/psychics/sorcerers themselves.

** Her new title upon Ascending to true godhood [[spoiler:as the {{Reincarnation}} of [[TheOldGods Mana Equus]], the [[TheArchmage Empyrean Magician]]]] and becoming the sole ''de facto'' ruler of Equestria is "the Spark of Friendship", which refers to how she "sparks" friendships in people by encouraging them to befriend others.

** Despite having [[{{Foil}} several traits that set them apart]], both she and Moon Ray Vaughoof (now King Canticum Lunae Cahaya) are ultimately very similar: They are purple-haired/furred [[TheAce prodigies]] who were forced by loved ones and external circumstances to [[TookALevelInKindness overcome crippling, self-destructive flaws]]. By doing this, they end up [[DeityOfHumanOrigin Ascending to godhood]], turning them into {{Living Legend}}s. Eventually, they would Ascend even further by doing something under great duress -- Moon Ray would re-Ascend into an [[EldritchAbomination eldritch god]] by realizing the cyclic nature of things and reconciling with his Prophecy domain, [[spoiler:while Twilight/Amicitia became the {{Reincarnation}} of [[TheOldGods Mana Equus]] by realizing that magic essentially runs on ThePowerOfFriendship during the 'League of Domination Crisis']].

* OurGodsAreDifferent: She's an '[[DeityOfHumanOrigin Ascendant goddess]]', described InUniverse as one of the rarest of the three main types of deities. Like all deities, [[StrongerWithAge she becomes more powerful and eldritch the older she gets]], except as a '[[TheAce prodigy deity]]', her physical and magical growth rates are accelerated far beyond those of a normal deity's. She's also a recorded example of what happens when [[spoiler:a dead deity reincarnates as another in the present -- due to Mana Equus bequeathing Equidkind the gift of magic before her death, all Equids essentially carry a piece of her divine essence, and thus anyone has the potential to become her reincarnation. Twilight/Amicitia was the first to do so by realizing that "[[ThePowerOfFriendship friendship is magic]]" and sticking to those beliefs, causing her divine core to regenerate Mana Equus' essence inside her and be chosen by Mana Equus herself as her reincarnation/successor]].

** As a goddess of Friendship, she's at her most powerful when near those she's friends with, including the [[TrueCompanions Mane Six]], spiking her own magic reserves incredibly; one incident involving this allowed her and the Mane Six to [[OneHitKill instantly obliterate]] a self-aware fragment of King Sombra's evil personality. Her domain also gives her both a natural predisposition to using memory spells to invoke memories of close friendship, and a natural affinity to the Element of Magic. [[spoiler:It's also shown during her fight with Starfall Dusk that she can summon her friends as magical spirits to aid her in battle, as she did so to free the [[AndIMustScream bound]] souls of Starfall Dusk's tortured friends while both are in a PocketDimension, though the Mane Six have refused to elaborate on this]].

* PsychicLink: A [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/914602463/4983632213 Codexverse drabble]] reveals that following Blue Suede/Caerulus and Bossa Nova/Rubeus' re-Ascensions [[spoiler:as divine reincarnation 'clones' of Mana Equus]], she somehow developed a psychic link with them, allowing her to telepathically communicate with them, sense their presences, and [[SeeingThroughAnothersEyes see through their eyes]] despite not being biologically related to the twins. Notably, both Blue Suede/Caerulus and Bossa Nova/Rubeus can do the same things with her. [[spoiler:This is because, as all three of them are reincarnations of Mana Equus, they are technically the same person, and their psychic link is actually a HiveMind due to this.]] This is discussed between her and Rainbow Dash/Fidelitas as soon as they discovered this power.

* PurpleIsPowerful: She's born with a lavender pelt. She's also a very intelligent and talented mage to the point where she's considered a prodigy, and because of this, both her physical and magical growth as an Alicorn goddess are accelerated faster than the growth of a normal deity. [[spoiler:She's also managed to become the reincarnation of Mana Equus, the Empyrean Magician/The Thirteenth Empyrean, one of Equidkind's first gods and the one who bequeathed magic to them in the first place.]]

* RagsToRoyalty: While she's the youngest daughter of a Duke and Duchess (who, according to one of the Codex writers, possess political power that's second to the Royal Sisters themselves pre-retirement), she starts off as a talented yet introverted bookworm who was sent to an ordinary town by Princess Celestia to make friends. Sometime later, she would finish Starswirl the Bearded's unfinished spell, causing her to Ascend to demi-godhood and be crowned a Princess. Then she would Ascend to true godhood during the 'League of Domination Crisis' by [[spoiler:realizing that magic is essentially ThePowerOfFriendship, causing her to be chosen by [[TheOldGods Mana Equus]] to be her successor and {{Reincarnation}}]]. After this, Celestia and Luna deem her their successor and abdicate their thrones, making her both the TopGod of the Equestrian Pantheon and the official ruling Princess of the Prinicipalities of Equestria, ushering in a new era.

** During her "[[CurbStompBattle fight]]" with Starfall Dusk, Twilight/Amicitia [[spoiler:and Mana Equus]] gives one to [[MadScientist Starfall Dusk]] [[spoiler:while manifesting herself with Mana Equus in a PocketDimension as one complete soul. They both utterly deconstruct Starfall Dusk's completely selfish motives for seeking friendship, while pointing out that in cruelly throwing away her own friends like trash, she squandered her own potential for greatness, including the possibility of becoming Mana Equus' reincarnation. Then Twilight/Amicitia and Mana Equus reveal that in binding her friends' souls to herself, [[OhCrap Starfall Dusk broke the Primeval Laws and thus marked herself for eternal damnation in Nekelmu's Hell-Realms]]]].

'''Princess Amicitia Sparkle Equestria[[spoiler:/Mana Equus]]:''' '''''BECAUSE THE BONDS I HAVE WITH MY FRIENDS ARE TRUE AND REAL. YOU THREW YOUR FRIENDS AWAY LIKE TRASH.'''''\\

* {{Reincarnation}}: [[spoiler:During the 'League of Domination Crisis', she manages to make her magic core regenerate, resulting in her becoming the reincarnation of Mana Equus, one of Equidkind's first deities after King Equus himself and the one who gave them magic in the first place. While Twilight remains the dominate persona, her 'true' nature is now a combination of the two.]]

* SeeingThroughAnothersEyes: Following Blue Suede/Caerulus and Bossa Nova/Rubeus' re-Ascensions [[spoiler:as reincarnation 'clones' of Mana Equus]], she gained a PsychicLink that allows the three of them to see through each other's eyes. [[spoiler:This is because all three of them are technically the same person, sharing a HiveMind as a result of this.]]

* SemiDivine: She spent much of the Codexverse (and by extension, [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic the canon show]]) as an Alicorn demigoddess after she Ascended. During the battle with the League of Domination, she would Ascend to true godhood [[spoiler:and become the {{Reincarnation}} of [[TheOldGods Mana Equus]] in the process]] while her friends (and a massive influx of allies brought over by students of her Friendship School) gave her time to come into her divine station and channel the Elements of Harmony, despite their physical forms being destroyed at the time.

** [[spoiler:When enraged enough, she gains a sparkling light blue streak in her mane and tail and her eyes glow magenta along with an aura around her as her entire soul manifests. This grants her boosted power along with the experience and knowledge of Mana Equus on top of her own]].
** She also has a 'Rainbow Power form' like in canon, which grants her [[SuperSpeed high-speed flight]] and a powerful energy beam in addition to the powers she has as a Bearer.
* SurpassedTheTeacher: Through her deeds, achievements, and talents, she ends up surpassing Celestia in more ways than one, proving that she would make for a much better leader than her mentor. [[spoiler:Becoming the {{Reincarnation}} of Celestia's great-aunt, [[TheOldGods Mana Equus]], helps seal it]]. This leads to her being deemed Celestia's heir to both the throne and the position of TopGod of the Equestrian Pantheon, which she would inherit following Celestia's abdication.

** [[spoiler:The Church of the Stars has been keeping her status as Mana Equus' reincarnation a secret specifically to avoid this. If people find out, they would just take this as further proof that she was 'born' into great power or has some pre-existing divine favor, thus increasing their envy and resentment]].

* TopGod: A "King of the Gods" example. After Ascending to true godhood [[spoiler:and becoming [[TheOldGods Mana Equus]]' reincarnation]], she would later replace Celestia as leader of the Equestrian Pantheon. Celestia felt her student was more talented at leadership than she is, and engineered things so she would step down to make way for her successor in the future.

** When she learned that Starfall Dusk made genuine friends, only to betray and kill them by performing horrible experiments on them and binding their souls to herself in an attempt to [[GodhoodSeeker become an Alicorn]] the "easy way", she is so enraged that [[spoiler:enters a SuperMode where both she and [[TheOldGods Mana Equus]] manifest as one soul, and proceeds to utterly [[CurbStompBattle overpower]] Starfall Dusk and free the trapped souls. All while giving Starfall Dusk a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech on why she'll never become the goddess she wants to be. Then she lets [[GodOfEvil Nekelmu]] drag Starfall Dusk away to her eternal punishment for breaking Primeval Laws, but by then she is more pitying than angry]].

* TheUnchosenOne: Played with; she's both this ''and'' TheChosenOne in that while she was born an academic and magical prodigy, she still had to use her talents for good and worked hard to get to where she is now. Otherwise, her becoming an Alicorn and a Princess wouldn't have happened. [[spoiler:As Mana Equus reveals, ''anyone'' can reincarnate as her due to all Equine races carrying her gift of magic, but Twilight was chosen because she was the first to actually cross the threshold. This is proved further when the Heartstrings twins, Blue Suede and Bossa Nova, re-Ascended as Mana Equus' reincarnation 'clones' during the "Dark Ages Crisis", spiritually connecting them to Twilight.]] It's noted that had she chosen differently, her position would have been filled by others like Sunset Shimmer and Starfall Dusk, but ultimately it fell to her because the two aforementioned mares squandered their potential on selfish ambitions.

* UnskilledButStrong: Zigzagged. She is among the most powerful divine mages on the planet and is a learned intellectual, but there are things that she isn't very good at, such as physical combat (despite being an experienced battle mage) or using the racial magics of other Pony tribes. [[spoiler:Becoming [[TheOldGods Mana Equus]]' reincarnation gave her her memories and unique powers yet unexplored on top of even more magic, though Mana Equus herself notes it would take time for her to access them all]]. Reportedly, this would lead to her befriending King Moon Ray/Canticum Lunae, who himself transformed into an 'infant' eldritch deity through a series of events and is learning how to explore his new domains.

* VoiceOfTheLegion: This happens when [[spoiler:her entire soul manifests, with both Twilight and Mana Equus's voices overlapping as one]].
* WakeUpCall: She initially believed that the EatsBabies 'trope' was a cliched narrative device used in trashy fiction to exaggerate the evil of villains and antagonists... until she read official reports on Talon Bàis' origins and worst atrocities, forcing her to realize that yes, there are people in the world who are willing and depraved enough to eat children. The revelation disgusted her so much that she (and her friends and officials) excused herself to go vomit in the palace bathrooms.

* {{Xenafication}}: Twilight Sparkle in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' was already a badass mage even before becoming an Alicorn, and after her transformation, she became powerful enough to ''take on Tirek and fight him to a standstill''. The Codexverse version of her takes every single accomplishment she made in the show and expands on it; in their pre-Ascension lives, she and her friends ''purified a Disorder Lord'' (which is no small feat especially for a mortal). Her entry notes that during her fight with Tirek, even while empowered by the Alicorn sisters, a huge portion of her power came from both herself and Cadence... and Twilight was just a ''demigoddess'' at the time. Even Luminiferous, the ancient Alicorn god of Potential and Self-Determination, has stated her potential is so immense it rivals his when he was at her age. Then she becomes even ''more'' powerful when she Ascends to true godhood during the "League of Domination Crisis" [[spoiler:which saw her becoming the divine {{Reincarnation}} of Mana Equus, Equinekind's first goddess of Magic and the one who granted Equinekind the ability to use magic in the first place]]. Since then, she has become the Princess equivalent of an EmperorScientist, spreading friendship while creating (or advocating the creation of) various technologies and spells.

* YouCouldHaveUsedYourPowersForGood: [[spoiler:She/Mana Equus tells [[VillainousBreakdown an increasingly enraged Starfall Dusk]] that had she made the right choices, become a better person, and not sacrificed her own friends out of pure selfishness, Starfall Dusk would have become an Alicorn goddess and Mana Equus' {{Reincarnation}} instead]].
--> '''Princess Amicita Sparkle Equestria[[spoiler:/Mana Equus]]:''' [[spoiler:'''''[AND] IN ANOTHER TIMELINE, I COULD HAVE BEEN YOU IF YOU HAD MADE THE RIGHT CHOICES OR I HAD MADE THE WRONG ONES. YOU HAD THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME ME AS YOU WISHED. BUT YOU WERE THE ONE WHO CAST ASIDE EVERYTHING THAT COULD HAVE ALLOWED THAT. WHEN YOU THREW AWAY YOUR FRIENDS AND NEVER LOOKED BACK, YOU THREW AWAY ANY CHANCE OF BECOMING SOMETHING GREATER.''''']]
* YouMonster: She furiously calls Starfall Dusk a "monster" after learning of the latter's cruel actions towards her own friends, [[spoiler:to the point where she [[SuperMode manifests Mana Equus' part of her own soul]]]].

** During her '[[CurbStompBattle fight]]' with Starfall Dusk, Twilight/Amicitia [[spoiler:and Mana Equus]] gives one to [[MadScientist Starfall Dusk]] [[spoiler:while manifesting herself with Mana Equus in a PocketDimension as one complete soul. They both utterly deconstruct Starfall Dusk's completely selfish motives for seeking friendship, while pointing out that in cruelly throwing away her own friends like trash, she squandered her own potential for greatness, including the possibility of becoming Mana Equus' reincarnation. Then Twilight/Amicitia and Mana Equus reveal that in binding her friends' souls to herself, [[OhCrap Starfall Dusk broke the Primeval Laws and thus marked herself for eternal damnation in Nekelmu's Hell-Realms]]]].

* MagneticHero: Cultura describes her as this. Even before becoming an Alicorn goddess, she was a compassionate and friendly individual who was popular even among both non Equestrians and non-Pony races for her approachable nature. This, combined with her natural leadership skills, was what influenced Celestia and Luna to name her their successor. Her intelligence also attracted a good number of deities who are similar to her in both intellect and domains, like Princes-Regent Merula.

* MindOverMatter: She's a particularly strong telekinetic. She can simultaneously levitate a humongous bear and a huge water tower.

** It's reported InUniverse that she befriended Moon Ray Vaughoof/Canticum Lunae Cahaya, likely over undergoing a big transformation that gave them new insights and powers, [[UnskilledButStrong but with little control or experience over them]]. The difference is that Moon Ray/Canticum became an EldritchAbomination after realizing the cyclic nature of things and reconciling with his [[{{Seers}} Prophecy domain]], whereas [[spoiler:Amicitia Ascended to true godhood by realizing that friendship is magic, which allowed her to become the {{Reincarnation}} of [[TheArchmage Mana Equus]], the [[TheOldGods Thirteenth Empyrean]]. This information is kept secret by the Church of the Stars to protect her from those who might resent her for being 'born' into greatness or having some kind of divine favor]].

** To Moon Ray Vaughoof: Both are divine prodigies, except Twilight/Amicitia specializes in magic, whereas Moon Ray specializes in PsychicPowers. Twilight/Amicitia was born into nobility, while Moon Ray was born to a family of average income. Twilight/Amicitia had GoodParents growing up, while Moon Ray's birth father was an abusive drunk (though he does get adopted into a massive family of [[DontFearTheReaper Death deities]] later on). Twilight/Amicitia was an [[IneffectualLoner introverted shut-in]] who learns to make friends with others in order to defeat [[MadGod Nightmare Moon]], while Moon Ray was an angry, bitter, and traumatized person who [[TookALevelInKindness learns to be more forgiving of others' transgressions]]. Twilight/Amicitia is the named centerpiece of an overarching prophecy as 'She Who Will Unite Us All', whereas Moon Ray can '[[ScrewDestiny break]]' prophecies and cycles after his EldritchTransformation (and believes no one can predict everything). And while Twilight/Amicitia [[spoiler:managed to become the {{Reincarnation}} of a dead goddess, with that fact kept secret by the Church of the Stars]], Moon Ray is a Death god whose eldritch status is well-known by the public and causes him to shift through an endless cycle of life and death.

** Similarly to Starfall Dusk, Twilight/Amcitia/ found another version of her from what she called the "[[https://askresearchertwilight.tumblr.com/tagged/ResearcherTwilight/chrono Researcher Universe]]", in which she became a extremely unhinged MadScientist whose increasingly horrendous experiments culminated in the Researcher Universe being trapped in a nightmarish time loop. While the Researcher Universe was fixed by the local gods, its version of Twilight lost the great destiny that other Twilights have fulfilled, with Moondancer taking her place instead while Spike (whom she lobotomized ForScience and then re-lobotomized after his mind started healing) opting to stay in the Dragonlands as Dragon Lord out of distrust for that Twilight. [[EvilMeScaresMe Scared by the possibility of ending up like her]], Twilight/Amicitia used the Researcher Universe as [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/904477912/4971328535 a cautionary tale]] for both herself and others who showed similar levels of genius/talent never to go that far.

** To pay back Blue Suede Heartstrings/Prince Caerulus Melodia Equestria for being a good friend to Rainbow Dash/Princess Fidelitas and Fluttershy/Queen Gaia Posey I, she legalized his mortal followers, the Blue Bards, as an official religion.

** She also punished several misandrist headmistresses, teachers, and administrators from various Equestrian magic schools this way by [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/891883225/4946856630 having Prince Caerulus Melodia Equestria turn them into stallions]]. While this did lead to some becoming increasingly bigoted, others [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone realized the error of their beliefs]] after personally experiencing the same misandry they themselves promoted, and [[TheAtoner changed themselves for good]].

** Despite having [[{{Foil}} several traits that set them apart]], both she and Moon Ray Vaughoof (now Prince Canticum Lunae Cahaya) are ultimately very similar: They are purple-haired/furred [[TheAce prodigies]] who were forced by loved ones and external circumstances to [[TookALevelInKindness overcome crippling, self-destructive flaws]]. By doing this, they end up [[DeityOfHumanOrigin Ascending to godhood]], turning them into {{Living Legend}}s. Eventually, they would Ascend even further by doing something under great duress -- Moon Ray would re-Ascend into an [[EldritchAbomination eldritch god]] by realizing the cyclic nature of things and reconciling with his Prophecy domain, [[spoiler:while Twilight/Amicitia became the {{Reincarnation}} of [[TheOldGods Mana Equus]] by realizing that magic essentially runs on ThePowerOfFriendship during the 'League of Domination Crisis']].

* UnskilledButStrong: Zigzagged. She is among the most powerful divine mages on the planet and is a learned intellectual, but there are things that she isn't very good at, such as physical combat (despite being an experienced battle mage) or using the racial magics of other Pony tribes. [[spoiler:Becoming [[TheOldGods Mana Equus]]' reincarnation gave her her memories and unique powers yet unexplored on top of even more magic, though Mana Equus herself notes it would take time for her to access them all]]. Reportedly, this would lead to her befriending Prince Moon Ray/Canticum Lunae, who himself transformed into an 'infant' eldritch deity through a series of events and is learning how to explore his new domains.

* NervesOfSteel: Justified. She has fought so many powerful, wicked beings in her lifetime that receiving death threats from a [[AristocratsAreEvil corrupt nobility]] feels paltry in comparison. When [[[[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/814495333/4789534834 one of said corrupt nobles]] tried cowing her into submission by [[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident threatening to have an 'accident' befall her if she doesn't]], she tells him off, calling him a greedy, pathetic bully, before [[EngineeredPublicConfession revealing their conversation has been recorded by Shadow Sentinel]].

--> '''Princess Amicitia Sparkle Equestria:''' So, you expect me to be afraid of you?\\
'''Corrupt noble:''' ...What?\\
'''Princess Amicitia Sparkle Equestria:''' Let me list the things I've faced that I WAS afraid of. An insane lunar goddess, the God of Chaos himself, a rogue Changeling Queen who's destroyed entire kingdoms, a mad Umbrum warlock strong enough to make a kingdom vanish for a thousand years, an evil magic-eating centaur tyrant who had the combined power of an entire country plus Discord, an insane cult leader, a ruthless conqueror who's ravaged the south half of the planet, and so on. I beat each and every one of them. So tell me, sir, why should I be intimidated by you?\\
'''Corrupt noble:''' B-Because you just might have an accident if you don't do what I say.\\
'''Princess Amicitia Sparkle Equestria:''' You think I'm afraid of a death threat? I've had threat, after threat, after threat on my life for the past few years. By people far, far more capable of backing them up than you. You're nothing but a greedy, pathetic bully. Oh, and there's one other reason I'm not scared of you.\\
'''Corrupt noble:''' W-What is that?\\
'''Princess Amicitia Sparkle Equestria:''' Look up.

* SeenItAll: As she [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/814495333/4789534834 tells a corrupt Canterlot noble]], she has confronted and fought so many {{Mad God}}s and other powerful beings that a mere death threat isn't enough to move her. She even calls the noble "a greedy, pathetic bully"... [[EngineeredPublicConfession before revealing that Shadow Sentinel has been recording everything]].
--> "I was trained by a Sun Goddess. Most of my family and best friends are either gods or demigods. I've been to other universes. I've travelled through time. One of my best friends is Pinkie Pie. One of my OTHER best friends is married to Discord. I've seen many beings of many different species that weren't even thought to exist for most ponies at first. I think it is pretty safe to say that the word 'impossible' pretty much left my vocabulary decades ago. Just tell me what your equipment detected. Odds are that it's probably not even one of the weirdest things I've heard since lunch. And, if it DOES turn out weirder than I think, I'll still see what I can do about it."

* HundredPercentAdorationRating: Subverted. Her MagneticHero tendencies, as well as her compassionate and approachable personality, has made her extremely well-liked and popular among even non-Equestrians. Unfortunately, she is opposed by factions like Tribalists and Autorists, who see her as a threat to their views of tribal/racial superiority, as well as corrupt nobles and other individuals who think little of her because of her beliefs in friendship.

* SuperOCD: As in canon, she suffered from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, though she more accurately has Obsessive-Compulsive ''Personality'' Disorder. She was obsessed with organizing things and making things perfect according to her standards, and was largely unaware of how abnormal her behavior can get at times. She also suffered from severe panic attacks whenever things got beyond her control in her youth, which Celestia was hoping she'd overcome; she eventually does by the time she becomes the ruler of Equestria.

!Princess Amicitia Sparkle Equestria, the Spark of Friendship[=/=]Princess Twilight Sparkle, the Bearer of Magic

Princess Amicitia Sparkle Equestria, born Twilight Sparkle (her entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Equestria-Deities-and-Divines-Part-22-814495333 here]]) is the Alicorn goddess of Friendship, Magic, Happy Endings, and Mana, and the previous Bearer of the Element of Magic. She was once a unicorn and Celestia's prized student until she Ascended.

** Her new title upon becoming the sole ''de facto'' ruler of Equestria is "the Spark of Friendship", which refers to how she 'sparks' friendships in people by encouraging them to befriend others.
