Her line in Party Pooped about being afraid of quesadillas due to them being "cheesy" was funny. However, how many times do you remember Twilight consuming dairy products in the series? Her fear probably stems from eating a quesadilla as a filly and having a near-fatal reaction. As for her liking vanilla ice cream, well, there are non-dairy ice cream substitutes like frozen yogurt, so maybe that's what Twilight actually likes.

* "Sweet and Elite" put her birthday at shorty before the Grand Galloping Gala, which is implied to take place in spring given "The Ticket Master" mentions it's when every flower in its garden blooms. So either jossed or nature works oddly here.

Her straining came from her struggling to keep her magic from going out of control. She [[{{Superman}} lives in a]] [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueUnlimited world made of cardboard]]. She must always take constant care not to break something or someone, never allowing herself to lose control even for a moment, or somepony could die.

[[WMG: Twilight was bullied as a filly.]]
In "Lesson Zero," she sees a group of fillies laughing while playing jump rope and thinks they are laughing at her before Spike snaps her out of it. Her ImagineSpot of Magic Kindergarten also involves everyone laughing at her. This may imply Twilight has had bad experiences of a similar nature in the past. Even before she entered the Magic Academy, her nerdy, studious nature would've made her a prime target for bullies. After becoming Celestia's personal pupil, she would've been seen as the "Teacher's Pet" by others at the Academy, and possibly resented for her natural talents. The constant bullying served to make her even more anti-social, and is what led to her idol-worship of Celestia as the sole individual at school who had a positive, non-antagonistic relationship with her.

[[WMG: Adding to the above theory, Trixie was one of Twilight's bullies.]]
Trixie was supposed to be Celestia's student instead of Twilight. But when Celestia chose Twilight instead, Trixie got angry and decided to make Twilight miserable all schoolyear long. Her main way of doing this was saying things like "Just you wait! One day you'll slip up and Princess Celestia will see that you're nothing but a pathetic little failure!" Eventually, Trixie graduated and Twilight decided to stay at school as a grad student to brush up on her studies. Twilight forgot about Trixie (although she ''did'' remember someone bullying her as a kid) but Trixie remembered Twilight, and, well...we all saw "Boast Busters"...

In this theory, Twilight Sparkle actually died from casting what she thought was the finished Change Destiny spell, and Celestia is actually guiding her into a happy fantasy of being a princess in the afterlife.

OCPD is Obsessive Compulsive "Personality" Disorder.... the patient does not have uncontrollable impulses or thoughts. OCPD is a condition in which a person is "preoccupied with rules, orderliness, and control." A person with this personality disorder has symptoms of perfectionism that usually begin in early adulthood. This perfectionism may interfere with the person's ability to complete tasks, because their standards are so rigid. People with this disorder may emotionally withdraw when they are not able to control a situation. This can interfere with their ability to solve problems and form close relationships.

[[WMG: Twilight [[WMG:Twilight has a very mild form of UsefulNotes/AspergerSyndrome.]]



** Fluttershy has more towards having Asperger's than just being shy and having a freaky knowledge of sewing. In some of the episodes she definitely has more going on with her than shyness, and considering that its is known that she is older than at least Pinky Pie it seems unlikely that this has do to immaturity. Regarding social empathy, she seems to show this more with animals (including spike) than with other ponies, so I don't think this is a full counter-argument. She is also shown being physically weak for a pegasus, which is often associated with Aspergers, and sometimes her actions seem odd in a non-shy way and sometimes even inconsiderate, even though she is shown to be the most benevolent pony. In some episodes she seems more autistic instead of just being shy than in others, but this may depend on the script writer. Even if she isn't autistic, she defiantly has some complex pyscological problems. Depending on how you interpret Hubworld's description of her it may imply that she is more than just shy. Also I think this is interesting, it seems that "neurotypical" people seem more likely to pick out Twilight Sparkle as the ones with Aspergers (assuming that exactly one of the ponies has the disorder) while people with Asperger's seem more likely to pick out Fluttershy, from what I have seen across the Internets.

[[WMG: Twilight Sparkle has or had a problem with Alcohol]]
Much of Twilight Sparkle's behavior can be explained by a problem with alcohol. In the first episode, we see Twilight's reaction to an annoying situation is to pour herself a stiff drink, as we can see in the party scene where she gets handed hot sauce instead of alcohol. In "Sonic Rainboom," we see her cleaning up after a wild night of “studying”; it's likely that she got drunk and trashed her own place. Furthermore, her dancing during her birthday is consistent with being bombed out of her mind.

If they're actually close with the Princess or not, like if they work for her or something, is open for debate.

[[WMG: Twilight actually has two families]]
Before becoming the Princess's student she had one family: Her mom, dad, and possible brother. However, as she focused more on her studies in Canterlot, she spent less time with her biological family, and spent more time with Celestia and Spike, and they became a second family to her. Celestia became her second mother, and Spike became her second brother. She doesn't outwardly call the two her second mother and brother though, due to not wanting to ruin their strong friendship, and out of fear that they wouldn't think the same as her.

Remember when Twilight manifested out of nowhere a mustache on Spike in "Boast Busters"? She's doing the same here, but she's too preoccupied worrying about her failure to send a letter to Celestia to notice. Those three FourthWall setups Twilight believes as only imagination in her head are really physical manifestations Twilight brought into reality due to a lack of control. Spike may have pushed a CONCRETE backdrop Twilight apparated behind her, rolled a MANIFESTED 3-d movie screen with Twi right behind it, and popped a LITERAL thought bubble that appeared around Twilight’s head with qualities like a water bubble. We've seen Twilight magick before out of fear back in The Cutie Mark Chronicles, when the Sonic Rainboom scared her into completing her exam with GlowingEyesOfDoom; it's possible Spike BreakingTheFourthWall may have been a ContinuityNod to Twilight's unknown magic ability.

[[WMG:Twilight’s special talent is not manipulating magic; her talent is CREATING magic.]]
She's utilizing an instinctive ability for magical fusion to create possibly unlimited amounts of mystic energy using her unicorn magic as a base fodder/catalyst. A lot like nuclear fusion, only instead of fusing atomic nuclei she's fusing unicorn magic, and instead of releasing nuclear energy Twilight is releasing/creating pure magic.

Usually Twilight only uses her horn in this process, a habit that limits the initial amount of conversion that can take place and also helps in focusing the new magical energy. This is due to her training in unicorn magic and belief that she is merely manipulating her own latent energies, she is not aware that she is making her own magic.

While using just her horn is an ingrained habit, it is by no means necessary. She can, and has on at least on occasion, used her entire body as a focus for magic making. During the episode "Feeling Pinkie Keen" Twilight battles with, and eventually admits the limits of, traditional logic. At the climax of this struggle between reason and the Pinkie Sense, Twilight becomes enraged and levitates a few feet into the air before exploding into white hot flame.

This is the result of unintentionally using her whole body as a magic fusion focus without immediately expending said energy into a spell; the energy was released in a blast of light/heat/and acoustic energy which lifted her off the ground and momentarily transformed her into living torch. Thankfully, Twilight calmed down quite quickly and her trust in traditional logic shut down the full body reaction almost as soon as it started.

The fact remains, however, that every time she uses magic, Twilight is using unicorn magic, which can already manipulate the heavens, to create a power able to affect literally anything she puts her mind to. She’s repeatedly turning the starter key to a bomb that could rewrite reality, or possibly just destroy it.

* To add to this: S4 promo material has [[http://derpibooru.org/464457 shown a scene]] likely from the first episode, where the ponies gaze in awe of a new stained glass window featuring Princess Twilight. In this window there are two books represented. One is clearly Star Swirled's, from Season 3, and the other is clearly one that features Twilight's cutie mark. If we take what Celestia said in MMC, that Twilight has actually created new magic, this window suggests that Twilight's the Princess of Magic, and she will now be creating new spells - something nopony's done since Star Swirled's day - as part of her new responsibilities. This also would explain why in the same promo ads, Spike seems always to have a book and quill by his side, as to record Twilight's spells as she comes up with them.

Due to banishing Luna to the moon Celestia could no longer use the Elements of Harmony. She knew that her sister would eventually return, more than likely still possessed by Nightmare Moon, so when she felt that Nightmare Moon would be returning she spun off a part of herself and gave it to a pair of (child/pony?)less adults who would raise her in secret and she would return for her at a later time when she was old enough to be trained in magic. The test with the dragon egg was just to see if she was as powerful as hoped. It went beyond her expectations and she immediatly started training Twilight herself. It turned out that due to her natural ability and that she was a (if not the only) student of Celestia, that she had little to no social interaction with most anyone else and that caused Celestia to send her away to Ponyville in order to do several things at once.

[[WMG: Twilight is half-blind for most of the series.]]
Prior to becoming an Alicorn, Twilight goes through an episode where she meets her future self, goes bonkers trying to figure out what her future self was trying to tell her, and by the end of the episode realizes she was trying to tell herself there was nothing to worry about. During her mental breakdown, she decides to "monitor EVERYTHING(TM)" and in the process, looks directly into the sun through a telescope. Pinkie Pie then gives her an eyepatch, which she wears for the remainder of the episode. In one of the later seasons, Twilight and Rarity infiltrate Flim and Flam's Friendship University, during which Rarity disguises Twilight by giving her an eyepatch, which she wears over the same eye. There exists a Youtube video in which a fishes' eye (sans the rest of the fish) is used to demonstrate what happens when you try to look at the sun through a telescope (the lenses focus the light into a focal point, which literally burned a hole through the fish eye). We can therefore conclude that Twilight literally burned her eyeball out of her head and has been wearing a glass eye ever since.

Twilight has been shown time and time again to be incompetent at being a decent person, so why else would she be a princess of ''friendship'' of all things? I'm not sure exactly how this would work, I'm just relying on the magic of ArtisticLicenseEconomics.

*** It's not impossible to explain AspergerSyndrome in a children's program. There was an episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' that covered the subject. But ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' isn't really the correct show to do that.

Her straining came from her struggling to keep her magic from going out of control. She [[{{Superman}} lives in a]] [[JusticeLeagueUnlimited world made of cardboard]]. She must always take constant care not to break something or someone, never allowing herself to lose control even for a moment, or somepony could die.
