| “ | You don't know what it's like to have friends. You could tell me what it's like to feed on love, but you can't tell what it's like to truly love and be loved. Your motivations are selfish, we fight because we know about things worth fighting for! Love! Friendship! We have things you can't hope to have! You envy us! Ponies who can't do things themselves tell others that they can't do it... I can stand up to you. And I can win! | „ |

| “ | ENOUGH! Because of you, I almost lost my way! But everycreature here has reminded me of the true power of friendship! There will always be darkness in the world, but there will also always be those who find the light! The Pillars knew this! That's why they created the Elements of Harmony! The Elements showed me and my friends how strong our friendship could be! Together we worked to bring harmony to Equestria! But there will always be more to do! Which is why we teach others about the Magic of Friendship! Others who will continue our mission after we are gone! Now I truly understand! The Elements were just symbols! The real magic has always been right here! And the more who understand how powerful friendship is, the stronger we will all be! Together! | „ |

Can solve advanced math problems in a matter of seconds and can build devices that combine science and technology)
Standard Tactics: In combative scenarios Twilight typically fires on the opponent with Energy Attacks first and foremost, while using Forcefields for defense and Teleportation for evasion and to intercept retreating opponents. She also makes use of her Telekinesis to immobilize opponents and stop incoming objects in midair. On occasion, she has also opted to make use of transfiguration, sealing, BFR, Paralysis Inducement, and Power Nullification to undo the effects of troublesome magic when prompted, though these usually aren't her go-to moves. | When utilizing the Elements of Harmony / Magic of Friendship / Rainbow Power Twilight blasts the adversary with multi-hued energy to nullify their powers, leaving the opponents defenseless. She has used the Magic of Friendship to incapacitate adversaries through Petrification or BFR, or even just to outright obliterate them.
Weaknesses: Overly organized to the point of insanity, has OCD and can be driven to madness if one thing doesn't go her way, is afraid of ladybugs and quesadillas | Has not quite mastered flying yet (by Season 5 this is no longer an issue) | Requires help from either the other 3 Alicorns or from the other Mane 6/Sunset Shimmer to gain this power. | Is just a regular human in this state and not as powerful.
