Stories I'd like to see · 4:52am Apr 27th, 2016
I would like to see a story or stories with Twilight Sparkle showcasing some knowledge of high society.
But wait, wasn't Twilight horribly anti-social at the beginning of the series?
Somewhat, yes. She had very little experience with her peers and no close friends her own age, but consider that Twilight was a personal student of the ruler of Equestria and had a different princess as a foalsitter. It seems likely that she would have been taught at least the bare minimum of manners, etiquette and decorum for dealing with royalty and the nobles. A clever author could add to the common fan depiction that Twilight Sparkle's parents are minor nobility and you have a good basis for this knowledge that Twilight could very well have but seldom uses.
If you think of high class, then Rarity probably comes to mind. I could easily envision a storyline where Rarity needs to impress some mid-ranking nobility but becomes too ill to do the job herself. Despite her best efforts at finding a replacement, Twilight might be her only option, much to her chagrin.
If the story was to take place before her alicornization, then her wings wouldn't be a problem though she would still probably be too noticeable due to her saving the world a few times - a disguise would probably be necessary. If it took place after, then her wings would have be explained away, hidden or instead of hiding who she is, then perhaps playing the fact she's a princess to the hilt for comedy.
