Velvet Twilight...er, Twilight Velvet? · 12:35pm Dec 8th, 2021
This mare, with the exception of Celly, has vexed the hell out of me since her first appearance. Amazing design? Check. Amazing backstory? Check. But...what is that backstory? A writer of books for fillies and colts, has a foalsitter that is canonically represented as Celestia's niece, and is an alicorn? Just what are her connections to the leader (at the time) of Equestria, that Celestia appointed her niece (to be Princess) the Alicorn of Love, as her personal foalsitter?
Is it just me, or are there several steps missing here? Has anyone else thought about this? Let me know in the comments. I'm curious what your views are.
Also, I can never remember the name! I always mix up which comes first and have to look up the position of the two words: Twilight Velvet.
I actually never knew she was a book writer, so that's interesting~
To be really close to Celestia, she must've been someone who used to be in Canterlot castle. Putting in consideration that she now works with books, maybe she's a scribe? Or even Princess Celestia's assistant/secretary before Raven Inkwell, the latter explains why she's close with the princess~

I like that. I always considered what if she was related to celly, some way. Never considered that, but with such a level of respect that celly would assign a personal foal sitter and her ascended niece nonetheless (Candy was a pegasus canonically before her ascension) something had to have occured.
