At the start of the series, Twilight is a bookworm unicorn with a talent for magic and Princess Celestia's protégée. She travels to the town of Ponyville with her dragon assistant Spike due to Celestia's request for her to make friends. There, she becomes close friends with five other ponies: [[Applejack (My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic)|Applejack]], [[Rarity (My Little Pony)|Rarity]], [[Fluttershy]], [[Rainbow Dash]], and [[Pinkie Pie]]. The six defeat a villain known as "[[Nightmare Moon]]", who is Celestia's sister, [[Princess Luna|Luna]], and discover they represent artifacts known as the "[[Elements of Harmony]]", with Twilight representing the element of magic. Twilight decides to stay in Ponyville and sends letters to Celestia about the challenges she and her new friends overcome. In season two and three, she continues learning about friendship and travels to other parts of Equestria. Twilight also helps to defeat villains such as [[Discord (My Little Pony)|Discord]]—the Spirit of Chaos—[[Queen Chrysalis]]—the leader of the Changelings—and [[List of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic characters#King Sombra|King Sombra]]—a dark unicorn seeking to take over the [[Equestria#Crystal Empire|Crystal Empire]]. In the episode "[[Magical Mystery Cure]]", she fixes a spell by famed wizard, [[List of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic characters#Pillars of Old Equestria|Star Swirl the Bearded]], resulting in her becoming an [[winged unicorn|Alicorn]] and a princess, and graduating from her studies with Celestia.
