Okay, so ...





Twilight is Celestia's successor. Why? Alicorns are supposed to have a long lifespan. Even if she isn't ready to kick the bucket, like a well deserved retreat, what about Luna's position to rule Equestria since she is the sister of the actual princess ruling the kingdom?





Twilight not an alicorn but a princess? Yes I know ponies are no more three tribes but a merged one, yet you must consider that they were ruled by an alicorn for the race represent the three tribes without favoring any of them. And there is always someone ready to see an unicorn as the princess to be eager to favor her own race first.





And pretty sure Lauren Faust said that Twilight isn't supposed to outlive her friend, so, a short time well deserved retreat for Celestia in the end?
