Cadance, Twilight, and Flurry for the AU! Bonus Twi fam too
I finally made a family tree for the “cosmic/crystal” royal family.
Btw this is gonna be really long lol
So starting off at the top we have Starswirl, the founder and first king of the Crystal Empire. He settled in the Crystal Tundra along with a handful of other ponies and was made king after fighting off a horde of Windegos and creating a magical barrier to protect them from the weather and the Windegos. Aside from being the founder of the Crystal Empire, Starswirl was known for his powerful magical abilities and having two horns. He also established the first magic university where other unicorns could hope to train to become as strong as him.
Next is Sombra. Sombra was a student at the magic university and eventually became a professor. He was known for challenging traditional and made great strides in improving spells and creating new ones. He was able to make such advances because he was also studying dark magic. At one point he discovered Shades, a race of ponies similar to Windegos but moved within shadows instead of in the wind. Sombra made a Pact with one, fusing them together so he could become more powerful. When the Crystal Empire found out what he had done he was banished. Sombra roamed aimlessly until he found a run down town in what would become Canterlot. The town was struggling to survive due to the presence of dragons and the Everfree Forest. Using his stronger magic Sombra was able to fight off the dragons and make a similar barrier to the one in the Crystal Empire to protect the town, in exchange they made him King and the Equestrian Empire was created.
Onto the second row:
Crystal Shore was the heir to the Crystal Empire. She was well liked in the kingdom and was rumored to be as strong as Starswirl, taking up the duty of maintaining the barrier. However she died of mysterious circumstances before she could take up the throne and the duty was passed to her brother Night Light
Nightlight wasn't as strong as Crystal Shore and eventually married the eldest daughter of the Equestrian Empire, Falling Dusk, so she could help him maintain the barrier.
Falling Dusk was essentially the perfect Princess. She was empathetic, ambitious, and strong. She also had a knack for bringing people together and created an ambassador program way before she married into the Crystal Empire to encourage peace through the land.
Her younger sister Celestial Morning wasn’t as… nice as her older sister. She was always more focused on the safety of the kingdom, contributing a lot to the military as an advisor. She was never too keen on the ambassador program, even less so when her sister married into a foreign kingdom instead of staying to rule their’s. Ceslestia eventually came around when she realized they would be given access to the Magical University since she also has an interest in magical studies.
Their youngest sister, Lunar Eclipse, was always a very sickly pony having been down with a disease that stunted her magic and kept her weak. Not much is known about Luna since she was barely seen outside of the palace and died at a young age.
Now into the 3rd and final row!
Shining Armor was born not long after Night Light and Dusk got married. He was always interested in the protection of their kingdom ans decided on joining the military before taking up the throne. While in the military he met Cadance, a Pegasus General, and after butting heads for a while they eventually fell in love. Night and Dusk weren’t too happy that Shining wanted to marry Cadance instead of another noble but Shining was stubborn and they eventually allowed it.
And lastly we have Twilight Sparkle! Twilight has always been super into learning about magic and with her naturally strong magic she sensed up getting into the University at a young age. She doesn’t really care about potentially taking up the throne but since she’s Dusk’s direct heir and Shining is already expected to rule the Crystal Empire she’s first in line for the Equestrian throne.
A universe where the sparkle family lives in ponyville and runs the library and twilight never became celestia’s student.Twilight likes to read the tale of nightmare moon and believes in the elements of harmony even tho everypony tells her it’s just fairytales.Would she still become the element of harmony?Who would become celestia’s prized student instead?
An au where the Sparkle family lives in Ponyville and runs the library and Twilight never becomes Celestias student. Twilight likes to read the tale of Nightmare Moon and believes in the elements of harmony even if everyone tells her it’s just fairytales. Would she still become an element of harmony? Who would become Celestia’s star student instead? Would she even have a star student after Sunsets departure and Twilight never becoming her student? Did Twilight still have her magical surge induced by the rain boom, if so who stopped it? If not what is her talent in now, is it still magic or something else? What happened to Spikes egg?
A universe where nightmare moon is released way earlier than usual and celestia sends either twilight velvet or Nightlight to ponyville instead and the rest of the elements are actually that parents of the mane six
An AU where Nightmare Moon was released earlier than intended, so the Elements of Harmony are forced to choose new wielders before they had originally planned. Does this change the future of the time-line, will the main six we know in canon even exist?
Optional addition- Six of the canonical main six parents are chosen by the elements of harmony. I like the idea of not having Twilight Sparkles parents as the element of magic, I think it would be interesting if one of the others was. I also like the idea of Pear Butter being the element of laughter or loyalty.
Due to meeting each other differently, or possibly not meeting each other at all, how is the relationships affected between all of the canonical main six's parents compared to canon show and how is the future affected?
An AU where one of each of the Main six’s parents or parental figures becomes the Elements of Harmony instead.
