Princess Twilight Sparkle is a fictional character who appears in the fourth incarnation of Hasbro's My Little Pony toyline and media franchise, beginning with My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (2010–2019), and later in the franchise's fifth incarnation as well. She is voiced by Tara Strong, and her singing voice is provided by Rebecca Shoichet.
Twilight is depicted as a studious and bibliophilic anthropomorphic unicorn (later an alicorn) with exceptional magical abilities. Her mentor and royal patron, Princess Celestia, guides her to learn about friendship in the town of Ponyville. Twilight and her dragon assistant Spike become close friends with five other ponies: Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie. The six friends collectively are commonly referred to as the "Mane Six". Twilight represents the Element of Magic in the Elements of Harmony.
Created by Lauren Faust, Twilight is based on the unicorn toy Twilight from the first incarnation of My Little Pony toyline. The creative team also incorporated Twilight's personality into her design, such as her purple color and cutie mark. Twilight garnered praise for her relatability and complexity.
