- —Twilight Sparkle
Princess Twilight Sparkle is one of the main protagonists of the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic series. She appeared in the 89th episode of Death Battle, Raven VS Twilight Sparkle, where she fought against Raven from DC Comics.
History
Twilight Sparkle was once a normal unicorn living in the royal city of Canterlot, dreaming of one day becoming a student of magic under Princess Celestia. During her entrance exam into Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, however, Twilight's true latent power awakened. Seeing great potential in her, Celestia took the young Twilight under her wing as her protégé. For a long time, Twilight was shy and reclusive, focusing only on her studies. But one day, Celestia sent her to the town of Ponyville after Twilight discovered the evil Nightmare Moon's prophesied return. There, Twilight met five other uniquely determined ponies, and with their help, defeated the returned Princess of the Night. From then on, after years of learning in Ponyille, Twilight became the Princess of Friendship and, with her friends' assistance, was determined to improve the lives of all who lived in Equestria and beyond it.
