Hello
everyone sorry I haven’t posted in a while, but I’ve been distracted by college
and other things in my life, but today I wanted to wanted to write about
Twilight’s royal duties. Season 4 is coming up soon and we’ll probably see a
lot of Alicorn Princess Twilight and maybe we’ll see her fulfill her royal
duties, but what are they? It’s hard to tell what her duties are because we
only saw Princess Twilight briefly at the end of season 3, but she showed up in
two novels and Equestria Girls.
The
first novel that Alicorn Twilight was in is “My Little Pony: Twilight Sparkle
and the Crystal Heart Spell” and the second novel is “My Little Pony: Pinkie
Pie and the Rockin' Ponypalooza Party!”. In the first novel, Twilight is still
living in Ponyville and is worried about being a leader and possibly ruling a
nation so she went to ask Princess Cadence for advice because it was too
embarrassing to ask Princess Celestia for some reason. The strange part is that
Twilight wasn’t sure if she was going to rule a nation just that she had to be
a leader, why wasn’t Twilight certain? I would think that Celestia would tell
Twilight what her royal duties are so Twilight would be prepared for it or
maybe Celestia wants to wait for Twilight to get used to be Alicorn before
dropping a lot of responsibly on her. The next novel is about Pinkie Pie
instead of Twilight, but Princess Twilight still gets some focus.
In
this novel Twilight is still living in Ponyville and not living in a castle or
in nation she rules, but ponies are coming to her for royal help. Pinkie’s
family comes to ponyville to ask Twilight for help saving their rock farm
because they want help from a princess. Maybe one of Twilight’s royal duties is
taking requests from ponies, but I’m not if Twilight has done this kind of
thing before or if Celestia assigned her to pony requests duty. The alicorn
version of Twilight showed up briefly in “Equestria Girls” because she was going
to attend a princess summit, but it was probably canceled after Sunset Shimmer
stole the crown. Attending royal summits sounds like a royal duty, but Princess
Twilight should have other duties and Twilight still wasn’t sure what is
expected of her. Princess Twilight was also in issue 13 of the My Little Pony
IDW comic, but it just came out and I don’t want to spoil it, I will say that
Twilight doesn’t really do anything royal in it. I would think Twilight would
be ruling something, living in a castle, or taking special princess courses
from Celestia instead of staying in Ponyville and not knowing what she is supposed
to do, but something familiar happened to Princess Cadence.
When
Cadence was a younger Alicorn before the wedding happened she lived with in
Caterlot Castle with Celestia after Celestia found her and helped her become an
alicorn. This is unlike Twilight who stills live in Ponyville after becoming a
princess, but Cadence still had a normal life even though ponies treated her
differently because she is a princess, the same thing happened to Twilight. Cadence
went to high school and had a part time job even though she was princess who
going to rule an empire. I’m not sure if Cadence knew she was going to rule the
Crystal Empire when she was younger, but Cadence did mention that she wanted to
live in a crystal palace a couple times in the comics. It seems that Celestia
lets her new princesses live normal or semi-normal life after they become
Alicorns instead of giving princess lessons or dumping a lot on responsibly on
someone as soon as they become a princess. Maybe Celestia thinks life is the
best teacher because instead of teaching Twilight friendship she made Twilight
go out into the world and make some friends. So I think when Twilight became a
princess Celestia let Twilight learn on her instead of giving princess lessons
and when Twilight is ready Celestia will Twilight what all of her duties are.
Twilight
only has a few duties like attending summits or maybe helping ponies with their
problems, but Celestia will tell Twilight what her main royal duty when she is
ready. Thank you reading and I’ll try to make more analysis articles, but I
have a final coming up next month and when season 4 premiers there might be a
flood of analysis articles and videos.
