Personality:

Humble, studious, and admittedly quite dorky, Twilight is an eager young mare settling into her newfound life and role as Goddess of the Stars. Highly intelligent, with naturally asocial behaviour that is slowly but surely being replaced with a more open, kinder demeanour the longer she studies friendship with her fellow Bearers of Harmony. She is similar to her pink-maned counterpart from Equestria ruled by Celestia, but with a colder, more analytical streak, and a heavier emphasis on studying science rather than purely magical pursuits.



Twilight idolises her teacher and queen, Glados Invictus, aiming to impress her at her every endeavour and follow in the great goddess' hoofsteps, viewing her almost like a second mother. Recent events have shook up Twilight's trust in her mentor however, including learning the truth behind Wheatley's scars, the Everfree Ruins, and the cause for her two hundred year long slumber prior to Nightmare Invictus' defeat, though Twilight is still assured that Glados is the light that shines upon Empyrea; the mare who grabbed the sun.



She maintains a close relationship with Craig, Rick, and Cosmo, especially in her youth while she was still being tutored under Glados' wing, the three of them acting as her honorary uncles before they learned of the true blood relations between them. Twilight is one of the very few ponies that both twins truly relax and open up around, Craig making a habit of showing her neat spells and helping her with her homework, and Rick regularly regaling her with stories of his adventures to distant lands. While she never knew much about Cosmo, the youngest prince always made sure to sneak her a few cookies from atop the kitchen cupboards. Not quite as close with the four princesses, due to them being absent until a few months after Wheatley's liberation, but she's quite friendly with Juliet.



Twilight never had much to do with the Triplets; by the time she had first met them, she was already 'older' than them, and quickly grew into her teens while the rambunctious trio remained as perpetual foals. Suffers heavy dislike from the silent and enigmatic Phillip, due to her (unwitting) involvement in the sundering of his soul and domain, and thus avoids him out of guilt and shame.



Her relationship with her biological father is strained; one one hand, she's thrilled that she knows who he is, but on the other she's angry that he lied to her and to the rest of his (their) family about the truth for a little over a year, and subconsciously projecting her hurt and confusion that Velvet, Comet, Shining Armor, and even Cadance aren't technically her 'real' family, and that all she's left with is a father who she first met when he was trying to kill her. Twilight is aware that her treatment of Wheatley is harsh and uncalled for, and is slowly warming up to him the more time they spend together (but whether or not she ever calls him 'dad' is yet to be seen). While initially wary of her younger half-brother, Twilight quickly began to adore the tiny foal, acting almost as a pseudo-mother throughout Atlas' early childhood.



Most are unaware that the stars (and by extension the sun, moon, and Hyperborea herself) are individuals with their own thoughts, desires, and motives. Twilight loves each and every one of her stars with all her heart, and is fiercely protective towards them.



Skills/Abilities:

Even for an alicorn, Twilight has an impressive aether wellspring and talent for magic, granted due to her role as the Stars, which was apparent even before she ascended to take her birthright as a goddess. While her magic is near-limitless and has the potential to be one of the most powerful beings in all creation, Twilight has little knowledge on true attack magic, and most of her repertoire is still limited to minor parlor tricks and weak defensive spells.



Twilight has long, powerful wings, built for agility, identical to Wheatley's, though she is unused to them and still rather clumsy in flight. Physically powerful, but like her wings she is still unused to her newfound power.



Her odd little quirk of 'bursting into flame' when she's angry comes from her draconic heritage, though unlike her adult family she becomes slightly singed from it; as she matures, Twilight becomes able to breathe miniscule amounts of fire matching the colour of her magic.



Other:

- Twilight was conceived when Wheatley was as the tipping point of insanity, shortly before his fall to the Announcer's control, as an attempt by the Initiator to stave off his inevitable fall long enough for someone to finally notice his silent cries for help. Despite his fanatically secretive nature, Juliet eventually found out about the filly and, with Wheatley's reluctance, had her divinity bound, making her appear and grow as a unicorn for her protection. Eventually fearing that her beloved older brother wasn't stable enough to care for a foal, and that in his madness he'd hurt her, Juliet took Twilight and sent her somewhere where Wheatley wouldn't be able to reach her - the future - and inadvertantly caused Nightmare Invictus' rise for her betrayal.



- She was discovered by Queen Glados herself shortly after 'arriving' in the year 1880 Empyrea Reckoning, fast asleep, and with a torn piece of paper reading 'Twilight Luminia' and her month and day of birth clipped to her swaddling. Deciding to keep a close eye on the seemingly mortal-looking goddess, Glados had her placed with close confidants, Velvet Sparkle and Comet Chaser of noble House Sparkle, to be raised as a daughter. Glados later took up Twilight as her personal student, shortly before the young filly gained her cutie mark, giving the ancient goddess a chance to subtly guide her towards the ideal future of becoming the Element of Magic in preparation for Nightmare Invictus' release.



- As Goddess of the Stars and Wishes, Twilight wakes up the stars at dusk and puts them to sleep at dawn, and is able to draw upon their power when she needs it. When a star falls, the magic released allows Twilight to grant wishes of near limitless possibility to those that wish upon the star, the chance of an individual's wish being answered depending on what they dearly want, and how hard they desire it. While the sun and moon don't need any guidance, the magic left by the original, deceased Hyperborean goddess allowing them to move of their own accord, and being unrelated to Twilight's domain, her presence has had a positive effect on the pair and they've almost seemed to glow brighter since her ascension.



- Has likely met her pink-maned counterpart and Princess Celestia at least once.
