Ask Twilight Sparkle (and Starshine, the one who's around the Library even more!)

Hi! My name is Twilight Sparkle.

I'm Princess Celestia's faithful student, and I live in the Ponyville Library. I study the magic of friendship from there, per orders of the Princess. Many ponies tell me that my magic is really strong, and that I'm very powerful... maybe I am, I didn't think I was that good, but, well... I am the Element of Magic, after all!

I love to read and meet new ponies, even though some of them are a bit... CRAZY! So ask me anything... I bet I have a great book on it you can borrow!

Also, I've been getting really busy lately with my royal duties, so I've assigned Starshine, my coltfriend, for you to go through! He knows me the best, and I'm confident he'll write to me for proper clarification, and tell you, should that become necessary.

Hello everypony, this is primarily for you to ask Twily questions, but you can ask me anything too, if you like! :giggle:

How long have you been working as the Princess's number one student?

Hmm... I started studying under her when I was just filly. I mean, I practically started studying with her since Magic Kindergarten!

So, Twi... finally figured out how the heck do you ponies manage to grab things with your hooves? (I have a theory of my own, but I want to hear yours first)

Twilight, when did you first learn to make stuff float? Because I haven't figured it out yet!

"You ponies?" Are you saying you're not a pony? Anyway... I don't know how to explain it really... we just grip things with our hooves! It's simple, really!

Oh... Umm... I don't exactly remember... I was younger than you... but you know there's a reason Princess Celestia asked me to be her personal student. You'll figure it out soon, I know it!

If it makes you feel better, it took me awhile to levitate stuff too... although we're both magic talents, so you shouldn't get discouraged! Magic may not be your talent, but when you can start doing some kind of magic, you'll know for sure what your talent is!

Tssk, tssk, tssk... I was sure you remembered me. After all, first contact with an alien creature such as myself should stand out in a pony's memory.
I guess I will have to help you remember:

Oh yes, I remember you! The silly looking thing! Occasionally I do forget things when I study for too long! :blush:

Hello Twilight!
Are you still studying those time manipulation scrolls I left behind?

Of course I am! Or... at least I am when I get a chance to visit Canterlot. I have so much to study in Ponyville, too!

Hey, Twilight...Have you ever tried to develop non-magical technology? Because I have a friend who could show you many things...

Yeah...I could teach you a thing or two.

Well, I've used some stuff that doesn't rely on magic, but I'm actually not very good with that kind of thing. My talent is magic, after all, not technology! I'd like to meet your friend though, I'm always interested in learning new things!

Hmmm... well the hardest spell I ever did was the time travel spell, but it can only be done once! I've teleported a long distance, with Starry's help... and I can make a bubble shield big enough to cover the Library! And there was the spell that created wings for Rarity, that was pretty hard too... I'm not really sure what was the most difficult!

How do you deal with things that are in your way?

If by that you mean obstacles in things like learning, I use all of my resources to figure out what I don't understand. If you mean remove actual objects in my way... umm... I just walk around them? Or teleport.
