Why I like Cadance

Or Cadence if you prefer that spelling. I don't care and accept both. But moving on to what I like about her. Her origins. Canonically (if going by the show only), we don't have an origin for her. Maybe she was born an alicorn? Or maybe she was like Twilight? We don't have a definitive answer. If you want to go by the comics, then she was born a pegasus and later ascended to become an alicorn. Or you can go by the original developmental material and she was a unicorn. Fanficiton-wise this leaves so many wonderful opportunities.
Also, there is good evidence that she is an adrenaline junkie.
I didn't really like her too much on her first appearance but she's grown quite a lot on me.
