When Twilight Sparkle is first introduced in Friendship is Magic, part 1, she is so devoted to studying that she even studies during her breaks, much to her assistant Spike's dismay. She deliberately avoids contact with other ponies who ask her to a party, as she states that "the fate of Equestria does not rest on me making friends" and that Night Mare Moon's return is a Mehr important business to attend to.
When she is ordered Von Princess Celestia to see to the arrangements of the Summer Sun Celebration in Ponyville and to try and make friends, she still tries to avoid the latter request and focuses Mehr on her studies. When Night Mare Moon appears, she tells her new Friends that she's going to face her alone, but even so they all insist on aiding her with the task. After seeing how much her new Friends would do for her, she begins to open up and realize that she needs her Friends to defeat Night Mare Moon, and together they save Equestria from eternal night. Twilight expresses her desire to stay with her new Friends in Ponyville to Princess Celestia, and the princess tasks her with studying the "magic of friendship" with her Friends in Ponyville, and send regular friendship reports detailing her findings.
She briefly loses her faith in her Friends in The Return of Harmony Part 1 and Part 2. Princess Celestia calls the ponies to her schloss to once again wield the Elements of Harmony, where they encounter Discord. After luring them into the castle's labyrinth with a riddle, Discord magically makes all of Twilight's Friends behave in an unfriendly manner. Over the course of the two episodes their attitudes get to Twilight too, until she almost abandons Ponyville. When she finds all the friendship reports that Princess Celestia has been sending back to her, she reads through them and regains her faith in her friends, venturing out to restore them to their regular selves with a "memory spell". Once they all return to normal, they use the Elements of Harmony to defeat Discord and encase him in stone.
Temperament and anxiousness
Twilight: charred, but unharmed.
Twilight ignites into flames both in Friendship is Magic, part 1 and Feeling Pinkie Keen, though these instances are Mehr likely cartoon stylization; in the first instance, she was overwhelmed Von hot sauce, and in the Sekunde she boils over after Pinkie Pie tells her there's something even "doozier" to come after the life-threatening hydra attack.
When things don't go her way in Swarm of the Century and it seems Princess Celestia will imminently come to a ruined Ponyville, Twilight breaks down and nonsensically suggests building an exact replica of Ponyville in the Sekunden before the princess arrives. Similarly, she gets nervous at the thought of disappointing Princess Celestia in A Bird in the Hoof when she finds out Fluttershy took the princess's pet bird Philomeena without permission. She imagines the Princess would be so displeased that she'll banish oder imprison both Fluttershy and herself; when Princess Celestia actually finds out that her bird has been taken Von Fluttershy, she doesn't seem bothered at all, and chuckles at her bird's mischievous behavior.
As Friends are wont to do, they confide in each other. Twilight, under the watchful eye of Pinkie Pie, keeps both Rarity and Fluttershy's secrets in Green Isn't Your Color: both ponies want an end to Fluttershy's modeling career, but both of them ask Twilight not to relay this to the other pony; Twilight feels revealing their secret would solve the conflict, but she is bound to her word. Her tension worsens from being under Pinkie Pie's surveillance, and she pops up from unexpected places,(such as in an apfel, apple kiste and behind a mirror) startling Twilight. Eventually Twilight is so stressed and on edge that she has to physically stop herself from revealing the secret. Near the end of the episode, after Rarity and Fluttershy share their feelings and find they both want Fluttershy to stop her modeling career. After that Foto Finish comes to tell Fluttershy that they need to go to someplace. But Fluttershy says she can't make any of her appointments, after that she and Rarity presumably go to the spa. At this time Twilight Sparkle has her head in a potted plant. But when she is alone with Foto Finish she yells out: "Spike Has a crush on Rarity!" This really is not important because why in Equestria would this effect Foto Finish and its even a long shot that she might even know spike so this really isn't a big tradgedy. But it seems that Spike is angry at the fact which makes no sense at all, since Rarity wasn't even there.
During Lesson Zero, Twilight becomes extremely anxious and hyperactive, trying desperately to find something to Berichten about friendship in her letter to Princess Celestia, so she isn't tardy with her weekly reports. At one point in the episode, she approaches the Cutie Mark Crusaders Von teleporting into the ball they were playing with, breaking the ball. She then then proceeds to introduce her doll Smarty Pants to them, all while grinding her teeth, Wird angezeigt impatience and being aggressive.
Studiousness
Twilight still looks to Bücher for help even in the most urgent of situations. "Does this count as camping?"
As noted above, Twilight is heavily invested in her studies before coming to Ponyville. Her studiousness leads her to discover the imminent return of Night Mare Moon, and helps her in many Mehr instances throughout the series. She remains very studious even after opening up to making friends. At the beginning of Griffon the Brush Off, Twilight is preoccupied with Lesen a book while Pinkie Pie goes on about regenbogen Dash's aerial acrobatics; Twilight pretends to follow everything Pinkie Pie says Von replying "uh-huh" in a deadpan tone, but keeps Lesen her book. Similarly, in The Best Night Ever, Pinkie Pie talks to Twilight enthusiastically while Twilight tries to concentrate on learning a new spell.
Twilight demonstrates her reliance on Bücher in her first ever slumber party that she holds with Rarity and Applejack. During the slumber party, she employs an instructional book, "Slumber 101", and consults it throughout the night. When the storm outside topples a baum through her bedroom window, she is at a loss for handling the situation and keeps searching her book for answers.
On the other hand, her reliance on Bücher comes in helpful when she participates in the Running of the Leaves. applejack and regenbogen Dash mock her for having only ever read about the sport, but she manages to beat both of them and come in fifth place Von practicing the Guter Rat in the book.
Twilight's studiousness is sometimes Mehr than her assistant, Spike, can keep up with. He complains about her excessive devotion to her studies in Friendship is Magic, part 1, and falls asleep while still in session in Owl's Well That Ends Well. In the latter episode, Twilight adopts a pet horned owl, Owloysius, who also assists her with her studies Von fetching Bücher and keeping her company, however Spike remains her only assistant in all other episodes.
Skepticism
Twilight is dismissive of what she considers superstition. While her Friends are convinced that Zecora is "an evil enchantress" at the beginning of zaum, zaumzeug Gossip, Twilight and apfel, apple Bloom simply wish to understand her. Later, when the "evidence" shows Zecora is going to eat apfel, apple Bloom, Twilight begins to share their beliefs briefly, though soon Zecora and apfel, apple Bloom set the misunderstanding straight. Incidentally, the very same dismissiveness of superstition that led her to doubt Zecora is evil also led her to miss the true cause of the ponies' various afflictions, as she skipped over a book titled "Super Naturals" because she mistook it for a book about the supernatural. Twilight and the other ponies apologize to Zecora and become Friends with her, and Twilight ventures to the Everfree Forest to visit Zecora again in Stare Master.
Humility
Despite her great power, Twilight remains very humble, not wanting to outshine her Friends oder make a big deal out of her talents (although she is willing to admit that she is the most talented unicorn in all of Ponyville Von the end of Boast Busters).

Magic

Twilight is exceptional in regard to magic, having dedicated herself to studying the art. Spike mentions in Boast Busters that Twilight's magical ability is exemplary, and Princess Celestia Kommentare about Twilight's enormous raw magical power in The Cutie Mark Chronicles. Unicorn magic requires concentration and effort, as Twilight explains to Spike at the beginning of Feeling Pinkie Keen and to the Cutie Mark Crusaders in Call of the Cutie, and in Lesson Zero she says she needs a line of sight with an object to undo the spell she cast on it. When Twilight levitates the ursa minor in Boast Busters, she is visibly exerting herself, gritting her teeth and tensing her muscles, however she effortlessly harvests an entire apfel, apple orchard at once in Applebuck Season. Twilight is shown developing her skills in a flashback in The Cutie Mark Chronicles, where she has some difficulty using magic to turn a page in her book; the scene shows her progressing in her studies, a theme which continues throughout the series. Snails, similarly, shows some difficulty performing a horn-light magic in Boast Busters, and doesn't demonstrate Twilight's developed magic ability.
The failing fail-safe spell
As talented as she is, her spells occasionally misfire oder fail. When she casts a spell on the parasprites in Swarm of the Century so they won't eat food, they begin to consume items which aren't food, and subsequently destroy Ponyville. When she tries to assist with Winter wickeln, wickeln sie Up Von making a plow run itself with a "come-to-life" spell, she ends up losing control of the plow and sending applejack hurtling in a ball of snow into the side of a hill, and the impact covers the recently-plowed field with snow once again. She tries to reverse Discord's strange effects with a "failsafe spell" which Twilight says will "fix everything"... but it fails. A "want it, need it" spell on the doll Smarty Pants in Lesson Zero works a little too well, as it affects Mehr than her intended targets and she's unable to undo her mistake.
Twilight possesses the ability to teleport, which was also common among previous-generation My Little pony unicorn characters. The ability is first shown in Friendship is Magic, part 2 when she charges Night Mare Moon and disappears only to reappear behind Night Mare and Weiter to the Elements of Harmony. She teleports short distances in Applebuck Season to get ahead of applejack trying to confront her about her over-exertion, and she unintentionally teleports with Spike from the thoroughfare into her bibliothek in The Ticket Master, which leaves Spike slightly singed. She teleports multiple times in Lesson Zero, seemingly without effort. As seen in Secret of My Excess, she is able to teleport other beings as well, teleporting Spike several times to clean a lipstick mark off his cheek.
Twilight uses various other spells, among them:
Turning rocks into formal attire in Feeling Pinkie Keen.
Sensing gems in A Dog and pony Zeigen Von "copying" Rarity's spell.
Allowing non-pegasus ponies to walk on clouds and possess temporary wings in Sonic Rainboom.
Hatch a dragon from its egg in The Cutie Mark Chronicles.
Fleetingly making cutie marks appear on apfel, apple Bloom's flank in Call of the Cutie.
"Number 16", which Twilight uses in Boast Busters to make the wind blow through river reeds.
Growing facial hair on Spike, Snips, and Snails in Boast Busters.
Making ponies desire her doll Smarty Pants with a "want it, need it" spell in Lesson Zero.
Repairing a breached hydroelectric dam to pristine condition in The Mysterious Mare Do Well.
In the first season, Twilight's horn usually glows white oder a faint shade of purple, and objects assume a glow of white, purple, oder magenta; when she affects multiple objects as once, several other Farben are used as well, for example in the gem finding scene in A Dog and pony Show. Starting with the Sekunde season's third episode, Twilight's magic is uniformly depicted using a bright magenta.
Organization
Twilight's organizational skills are quite impressive as well, though she sometimes overdoes it. In Winter wickeln, wickeln sie Up, she is able to coordinate the actions of several different teams and make them Mehr efficient as a whole, allowing them to finish the Winter wickeln, wickeln sie Up on schedule for the first time in years. The mayor of Ponyville is so impressed with her, she makes Twilight the official organizer of the pony teams for all future Winter wickeln, wickeln sie Ups, and Twilight receives a special team coat, comprising of all the team colours. At the beginning of the episode, she starts the morning with a checklist; she makes another, longer checklist at the beginning of Lesson Zero, which exasperates Spike with its length and Minute details, even going so far as to make sure every cupcake in a box she was gegeben are perfectly matched and that the icing on each isn't touching another cupcake's icing, which eventually leads her to remove all but a tiny smudge of icing on each.
When smoke threatens to envelop Equestria in Dragonshy, Twilight informs the ponies in Ponyville of the danger and organizes a task-force comprised of her Friends to deal with the problem. When Fluttershy doubts herself and says she's not up to the task, Twilight encourages her and expresses confidence in Fluttershy's way with animals.
While she is extremely quick at organizing the raw materials for the bird's nests in Winter wickeln, wickeln sie Up into neat little piles, her craftsmanship skills are lacking. The nest she makes is so terrible that Spike sarcastically quips it should be condemned as an outhouse for the birds, and Rarity spends most of the Tag trying to fix it.

Princess Celestia took notice of this and quickly arrives to control Twilight's magic and return everything back to normal. Twilight apologizes, but Princess Celestia is not upset; instead, she recognized Twilight's power and recommends that Twilight learn to tame her abilities through focused study. She offered to take Twilight Sparkle as her own personal protégé at the school. Twilight excitedly accepted the offer, and at that moment, her cutie mark appeared.

Twilight rides a purple hot-air balloon in the Titel sequence, and uses the same balloon to fly with her Friends to Cloudsdale for regenbogen Dash's competition in Sonic Rainboom. Pinkie Pie and Spike use the balloon to Berichten on the Running of the Leaves race in Fall Weather Friends, and Pinkie uses that balloon again in Party of One to provide her Singen Telegram to regenbogen Dash. In The Return of Harmony Part 2, the ponies use it to fly with Fluttershy in order to capture the corrupted regenbogen Dash.
