"Celestia's Tiny Student" headcanon

Hello everyone. For those of you who after reading "Celestia's Tiny Student," are still confused because exposition in the story was not good enough, or are curious about stuff like: how strong Twiny is, what is Twilight's age, how strong Celestia or Nightmare Moon is, in what timeline Nightmare Moon's incident happened, or Celestia and Luna assented before facing Discord and so on, I will try to answer it all here. (Also, apologise for bad grammar, I wrote this blog late at night and I am too sleepy to double check it for mistakes).

This blog is a pure exposition what I could not add into my story to not make it boring, here is where you can ask any question you have about headcanon of my story. If you don't like exposition, or informations you got from reading my story are good enough, you can ignore this blog. If you have some questions, you are confused or would like to learn more about Twiny-verse, it is blog for you to read.

First lets start from timeline of events in my story:
1) 2000 years before Twilight moved to Ponyville, 3 tribes were almost frozen by Windigous (not sure did I spoke it right). While just like it was stated in canon, pegasi, unicorns and earth ponies decided to work together and created Equestria. In story headcanon however some ponies that survived the cold retreated towards north and adapted to cold temperature, they evolved into crystal ponies.
2) According to book that CMC read before making love potion, there was something about love potion, chaos raising (or was it raining or reign), this is where Discord join in and take over Equestria, steal sun and the moon control from unicorns, and mess up with other races as he please.
2) 1500-1800 years before Twilight moved to Ponyville, Midnight (pegasus) and Tia (unicorn) alongside many other potential bearers faced many challenges and trials to find the elements of harmony. (5 years later after Discord spread elements over the land of Equestria, it took them few years to find and gather the elements, what result in ascension into alicorns, and once Discord's defeat, after failure in rediscovering how unicorns moved sun and the moon in the past, Tia and Midnight turned to Tree of Harmony in seek for guidance, and this is when they got their cutie marks (change of names into Luna and Celestia followed).
3) Crystal ponies adapted to the cold as their bodies and inner magic resisted cold while they could grown crystals thanks to their inner magic, making buildings in cold environment, though cold was just one of dangers for them. Dragons, hungry animals, Yeti, Wolves, Windigoes and other treats made lives of crystal ponies very hard. I will exploit on Cadence's back story in the sequel, but she was a crystal pony at one point, she assented into alicorn after creating a crystal heart that could use crystal ponies inner magic to form a barrier to defend against the cold and dangers, and soon Crystal Empire was formed.
4) 1200-1400 years before Twilight moved to Ponyville, Sombra took over the crystal empire and used crystal heart to gain full control over the empire.
5) Cadence is banished and reach Equestria, seeking assistance from the royal sisters. Celestia and Luna defeat Sombra (Sombra is not a character, he is a dark force summoned by evil cult searching for power, he just posses a pony to take physical form of an evil unicorn), he used crystal heart to curse crystal empire(so if he falls, the empire and it's subjects will share his fate).
6) Cadence without kingdom try to start a new live in Equestria. Being princess without subjects, she decide to learn illusion magic and bend between subjects, hiding her wings or her horn or both while taking random jobs to not be a burden.
7) Because Luna was focusing mostly on defending Equestria from dangers and fighting monsters at night, while Celestia handled politics and meet with nobility and her subjects during the day, generation after generation, ponies started to forget about Luna to a point where she was being feared as much as monsters she fought against (same for Lunar Guards)
8) 1001-1000 years before Twilight moved to Ponyville, Luna transform into Nightmare Moon, Solar Guards are more than willing to kill her and Lunar Guards as a house war start, ending with Celestia using elements to banish her sister in the end (she attempted to heal her from corruption, but elements didn't listen to her wish, it will be move developed in the sequel).
9) 1000-940 years before Twilight moved to Ponyville. Cadence did her best to help Celestia to control both moon and the sun until she learned how to do it on her own and cheer up in her sadness, but 100 years later she bend back into populace once again (she helped Celestia but under disguise so no pony know about her except the most trusted ones).
10) 920-850 years before Twilight moved to Ponyville, Griffon emperor who respected the pact between Equestira and Griffin's Empire died and the next one who took the charge, used the opportunity and attacked when Equestira was still weak and shattered after house war, and war between ponies and griffins begun what soon followed by hostility between two races.
11) 850-800 years before Twilight moved to Ponyville, Dragons invaded Equestria (it was not an organized war, they just started to raid to steal gems and eat ponies and other food in the process while taking territory for themselves).
12) 800-600 years before Twilight moved to Ponyville, even after dragon/ponies war ended, the relationship between Dragons and Ponies was very harsh. Unable to send any ambassador without the risk of him being eaten alive, she went herself to negotiate with the strongest dragon. During her visit she had a few so called ancident, though after teaching the dragons a lesson or two and defeating the strongest dragon in duel, she gained their respect.
13) 600-500 years before Twilight moved to Ponyville (I still didn't decided do Equestria had any hostile encounter with changelings, but if yes, it will take place 600-500 years before Nightmare Moon's return, and as time passed, ponies just forgot they even existed. If I decide that Equestira didn't encountered changelings in the past, there will be just other conflict with other race, I am still unsure about it.
14) 500-0 years before Twilight moved to Ponyville was time of peace. Without any dangers and challenges to face, Celestia and royal guards grown soft.
15) 13 years before Twilight moved to Ponyville, Celestia gained a tiny size student.
15) 6 years before Twilight moved to Ponyville (or before Nightmare Moon's return, what who prefer), Twilight fall from the highest tower in Canterlot and meet Fancy Pant's family.
16) 5 years before Nightmare Moon's return, Twilight is accidently squashed under Celestia's hoof and survive, Cadence end her job in Manehattan and become Twiny's foalsitter, and Blueblood meet Twilight for the first time.
17) 4 years before Nightmare Moon's return, Snowball Fight. And I am sure it is most reader's favourite, at least I think so.
18) 3 years before Nightmare Moon's return, Final Exam. Twilight is taking her physical training seriously, and after enduring a very draining test, she fall asleep for 2 days. Next she run away afraid of returning to her normal size, and later on she faced her mentor. And this is when Celestia shrunk herself for the first time.
For next few months Twilight started to learn about combat magic, only to end up in a Celestia vs Twilight duel.
19) 2 years before Nightmare Moon's return. Twiny visit her parents, and with help of many unexpected quests she drive them crazy. Cadence and Shining Armor tell that they are in love and White Path asks Twiny to be his marefriend. Few months later Philomena come back home, only to meet Twiny on rather hostile ground, though it was resolved and Philomena became Twilight's test subject.
20) 1 year before Nightmare Moon's return. Twiny meet Wonderbolts and learn about Pegasus magic. After some bonding experience with Soarin and Spitfire (and showing an impressive healing talent in field of magic surgery, the little mare became Wonderbolts medic).
21) Few months before Nightmare Moon's return, all Twiny's friends organize a surprise party for her, though it was Twilight who surprised everyone instead after enduring quite a lot of punishment. And terrorists attack followed.
Sequel will start 0 days before Nightmare Moon's return just like in the show.

Now time to answer some questions you may have regarding the story:

1) How heavy ponies are in my story?
Filly on cutie mark crusader age (6-7 years), 20 kg.
Grown up mare, 100 kg.
Grown up stalion, 100-200 kg ( majority of stalions are bigger than mares, though some rare mares tend to be big too, for example, Fleur is quite big for a female pony, but as a model, i am sure she keep her weight low).
Big Mac, 250 - 300 kg.
Blueblood, 200-240 kg,
Luna after being struck by elements, 60-80 (she was even smaller then Twilight, at least this is a headcanon I will use for my story).
Cadence, 220-280 kg, (yes, Cadence in my story is around 1200-1400 years old, she is a rather big size alicorn, even if far smaller than Celestia and Luna).
Luna during Lunar Eclipse episode, 300 kg,
Celestia, and Nightmare Moon, 350-400 kg,
Twiny after being shrunk by Celestia, 0.25-0.3 kg
Twiny after falling from the highest tower in Canterlot, 0.6 kg
Twiny after being stomp by her mentor, 0.7 kg
Twiny during her final exam, 0.85 kg
Twiny during her birthday party, 1 kg.

2) How old is Twilight?
She was 7 years filly during the entrance exam for school for gifted unicorns.
She was 15 years old, young mare when Cadence started to foalsit her.
She was 17 years old, young mare when she passed her final exam, but decided to stay tiny willingly (18 years when she visited her parents for the first time and 19 years old when she meet the wonderbolts).
Twilight is 20 years old mare after her birthday.

3) How strong she is physically?
(With the help of protection spell what double her strength) Twiny managed to lift and kick a sugar cube 2 weeks after becoming Celestia's little student, though pulling something much more heavy ended up in disaster.
At age of 14, after meeting with White Path, Twiny tried to use her strength instead of her raw power and she lifted a book several times her own weight, 5 kg around, but it was when she started to train her physical strength next to her mental one.
At age of 15, Twilight levitated Blueblood, 4% of his weight became a pressure on her, so I would say that she endured 9 kg weight of pressure (though she could still lift more).
At age of 17 during her final exam, Twilight walked with Celestia's golden accesory on her back, and even climb up onto Celestia's neck while being tied to Celestia's peytral (that huge golden armor she wear on her neck all the time, 15 kg heavy ).
During her levitation, Twilight managed to stand on her hooves while levitating 600kg for minutes, so she stand still while enduring 24kg of pressure upon her 0.85kg heavy body (she could lift almost 30 times her own weight, considering that canon Twilight lift TOM what was 15 times her own weight without help of protection spell, Twiny was almost as strong as canon Twilight at this point). However with pressure of 40kg weighting on her, Twilight fall to the ground after 6 seconds.
At age of 18, Twilight managed to stand with half of White Path's weight pressing on her back, and later she lift Cadence's foreleg weight.
I think that during her birthday party at age of 21, she should be able to lift 50 kilograms of weight (40-50 times her own weight), if you remove shrinking spell from her, she would lift 20-25 times her own weight, while canon Twilight would lift 15 times her own weight (her hard training and challenges made her almost 70% stronger than canon Twilight).

4) How powerful Twiny really is in terms of raw power?
It is hard to tell how powerful she was at her young age since she could not control her power, but at age of 16, she levitated Blueblood who is 200-240 kg heavy (before surging).
At age of 18 Twilight had full control over her power and her levitation limit was 600 kg (706 times her own weight, without protection spell it would be 353).
If compared to canon Twilight who managed to levitate Ursa Minor and giant bottle of milk (I would give it 400 times her own weight) so in terms of raw power, 18 years old Twiny is almost as powerful as 21 years old canon Twilight.
At age of 21 I can say that Twilight can levitate 1000-1200 times her own weight (without protection spell 500-600), so her raw power should be 25%-50% above canon Twilight.

5) How tough is Twilight?
Age 14, she survives fall from the highest tower in Canterlot.
Age 15, she survives being stomp by Celestia's.
Age 18, she endures being smashed into the floor by Cadence.
Age 19, she withstand confrontation with Philomena's flames (though the phoenix went easy on her), she endure cold on the highest mountain in Equestria (-70 Celsius) for minutes side by side with Spitfire. She is being pressed between Spitfire and rock surface of the mountain during Spitfire's fall after her wing was injured and she surf down the mountain while levitating Spitfire out of arrow's course, (she was being pressed by pressure of 4kg while surfing down on rock surface, her hooves really hurt afterwards).
Age 20, she turn herself into pegasus, crash in many obstacles, doors and pillars during her first flight. She is being baked alive and later eaten by her mentor. And few hours later during the terrorists attack, she endure being punched repetitively by enemy leader (though temporary being a pegasus preventing her bones from breaking).

6) How powerful is Celestia?
(Without considering her levitating sun and the moon for thousand of years as it is more related to her connection with celestial body rather then her raw power, her levitation power is ( after shrinking herself to her student's weight, 0.85 kg, with tons of efforts she levitated 3 tons heavy bookshelf ( she levitated 3529 times her own weight ). It means that on her normal size and without protection spell, Celestia with as much effort can levitate 618 - 706 Tons ).
Normal size Celestia raw power is 15-17 times higher than canon Twilight's.
So yea, for everyone saying "Twilight will return to her normal size and kick Nightmare Moon's flank" I can just say, "if only it was that simple".
The only reason why Twilight was against Celestia during their duel was because Celestia didn't used a protection spell and shrunk herself around 400 her own weight while Twilight is just 1/100 her original weight. Long story short, Celestia made herself 8 times weaker to make this duel fair, and lost only because of her lack of fighting experience and living in luxury while doing nothing but paper work. Do not expect the same outcome against normal size Nightmare Moon who would not hold back.

7) Who is stronger, Celestia or Big Mac?
I do give Big Mac 10 tons lifting strength. I am honestly unsure who is stronger physically, but I think Big Mac is at this point (Celestia can be physically stronger considering how much earth pony magic she posses, but she would need a very solid workout, more than just 3 years of training with guards and adventuring with Twilight).

8) How strong is Cadence's raw power compared to Celestia's?
Cadence is not a pushover, however she didn't need to raise sun and the moon as Celestia did, and she is around 500 years younger, so while I can say that she is far, far more powerful than Twiny would be on her normal size, she is still far weaker than Celestia.

9) How strong is Cadence physically?
I do say, stronger than Applejack but far weaker than Big Mac. She didn't train as hard as Celestia, but living among common ponies keep her in good shape (especially when taking earth ponies related work).

10) How tough is Celestia?
While being 1kg heavy pony under protection spell what doubled her endurance, she survived a direct hit of a full size sword and a direct hit from unicorn guard. She also endured Twiny's attacks for minutes during their duel (not being skilled enough to dodge them and not quick enough with barriers, she had to relay on her inner magic to endure all attacks (she didn't use protection spell during that duel).

11) Who is stronger, Twiny or Applejac?
Applejack is stronger thanks to earth pony magic empowering her, though Applejack's strength focus mostly in her legs, so I think that normal size Twilight would win against her in a hoof-shake.

If you have more questions, please leave a comment. As for those who knew enough about Twiny-verse from reading the story, sorry for wasting your time.
