What it takes to be an Alicorn · 3:44am Aug 7th, 2013
So Twilight Sparkle earns her position as a princess in Equestria and is transformed into an alicorn. This is all fine and good and would lead one to believe that when one becomes an alicorn, they are transformed from their current stat (unicorn, pegasus, or earth pony) into an Alicorn. But then we see this clip...
We see a quite young Cadence who already has both her horn and wings, so it is presumable that she has already passed whatever trials were necessary to earn her status as an alicorn. What trials would she have gone through at such a young age to reach such a position of power? Is there something unique about her experiences and trials that allowed her to undergo the transformation at such a young age? Is this early change somehow tied to her being the princess of the Crystal Empire?
Inquiring minds want to know...
Well, we know that she was a Pegasus, so at some point she was granted the forehead penis.
1267758 Yeah, I had heard she was originally a pegasus, but I can't recall the source.
1267757 Do you know the story where this is told? (Also, yeah, dat flank.)
1267766 Screw her! Why haven't I looked at it?!
