I had the theory she was the daughter instead(like some others) too...

I figured this makes more sense too. Because that would explain why she did not need to make a potion 🧪, and she is extremely young (like a teenager) as “Twilights foul sitter”.

... P. S. Then I forgot that “the birth of alicorns was a mystery even to Celesta & Luna, but that might have been a white lie diversion too not traumatize the moment FlurryHearts birth to Cadence & company, and ruin the unique/uncanny celebration...

especially of the Royal Crystaling 👑 which I almost forgot about!

Also, this is the second official unnamed directly alicorn we are referred to I did not notice until season’s later, considering the unnamed alicorn on the treasure door of the episode “Stranger Than Fan-fiction”!... (even DaringDo almost missed this!)...

So just how manny or much of alicorn society & others are even we missing or missed?!?!?... You got a good catch!!!🏅

Sawtooth waves have a question for you I now at the end it doesn't show enemy of the mane six's kid because we now that Twilight was married to fash


Still not realizing wut G5 looks like? Dude u gotta do a video about it


im guessing that cadance was a teen or older then she met a boy pony who liked here so he maid the love potion and gave it to her then they fell in love then their kingtom fell the princess heard this and turned the princess into a baby and raised her as her neace sorry this is just what i thought happend


Is that pony in the story her mom ???????? Cause we don’t know about Princesse Cadence mom or dad


I think what you say is true because how did then she got here mark?

This wrong she is married and has a child


Amazing work! I really appreciate the effort you put into creating depth to the characters we wish we could have seen more of! I can't wait for more of your content! Really gives me something to look forward to!! <3


I love this take because it implies that in Equestria (a land not as plagued by amatonormativity as Earth), the dangers of romantic love are more openly acknowledged. Cadence growing through romantically-induced trauma into a mare capable of a mutually supportive healthy relationship and eventual mother is a really nice arc to think about.


I’m so glad someone finally pointed out what was wrong with what she did to that couple. I remember rewatching that scene when I was older and wondering if she trapped one of those ponies in a toxic relationship and forced them to suffer even longer. This is a super interesting theory!


I always saw that scene as Twilight remembering it wrong, for some reason. Perhaps something similar happened, but because she was so young she only remembers that there was a couple fighting and Cadence used her magic to help them to stop. I agree that it's really coincidental that her spell and the love poison from the hearts and hooves day episode appear so similarly, but to me that just appeared to be a similarity between magic more than anything else. I always accepted the idea that Cadence was a Pegasus before becoming an Alicorn, but couldn't ever really pinpoint an exact idea for her backstory.


I actually kind of like the idea of this, but it leaves me with questions wondering who the stallion was and what Kingdom he ruled.

This instantly made me think of King Sombra. I don't remember if he was born a unicorn or and alicorn or whatever because I can't remember the lore, but it kind of left me with a theory that the Kingdom he ruled was this Crystal Empire and the alicorn he fell in love with was Cadence. Suppose that during this time Sombra and Cadance are both young adults,  Sombra rules a kingdom by himself and Cadance was just turned into an alicorn recently after discovering love and its mgaic.

Celestia is known to put her problems on other ponies cough*Twilight*cough but since Twilight would have been a filly back then and was no where near ready to be a Princess I imagine she'd ask Cadance for a lot of help(since Luna would be on the moon.) Say she needs Cadance to visit Neighboring Kindgoms while she attended to her royal duties in Canterlot, Cadance would oblige.

So Cadence goes and visits all the neighbouring kingdoms when she comes upon the Crystal Empire. The gaurd notices that she is a Princess and brings her in to talk to Sombra and immediately he falls for her. While he talks to her about equestrian politics in the back if his mind he's wondering how they'll meet again and if he can keep talking to her.

 (This next part might be me being lazy so uh- bare with me) Just as the meeting ends, Cadence starts to get a little hungry and Sombra offers her some food and a drink, like the CMC, he makes the potion and puts it in both drinks just to make sure if she choose either cup it would have potion in it. They sit, they drink, they're in love. So we all know what happens from then on, they fall so deeply in love they forget about everything else and the kingdom starts to crumble and everything's falling apart. So, I think Celestia thought it might have taken Cadence a few days but not as long as she had been gone, worried she goes out herself to look for her, following the same list of kingdoms she made for Cadence. Eventually she gets to what used to be the Crystal Empire and notices the obvious wreck it has become. She spots the Sombra and Cadance together, completely ignoring everything around them.

Noticing how irresponsible the Prince was Celestia uses her magic to either break the spell or separate them from one another. Practically banning Sombra and bringing Cadence back to Canterlot.

Of course that leaves his fallen citizens/inhabitants of his Kingdom and after being bannished for so long and finally coming back he enslaved his Kingdom and made it so that they would obey him(since he no longer had a sense of control over them) making Celestia bannish him, again. By this time Cadence is a full grown adult in a relationship with Shinning, Twilight is a young adult, and she's still living in Canterlot studying.

Everything lines up for me except for the that we(or I, rather) don't know ehat species Sombra was born as. I've personally always headcannond him to be born an Earth pony, but what do you think?

I really love Cadence, and the only real thing people have against her is her lack of backstory. I would have loved to spend more time on her, for her sake. It doesn’t have to be about a whole empire or her husband or baby. She could have become a truly awesome character, especially if more people latched onto her like they did Luna and Celestia


Thanks to this episode, now I am gonna rewatch the show without skipping episodes.


everything that Sawtooth Waves says is a fact to me and in my eyes is canon because everything he says makes complete sense!


I was always wondering Cadance's origin. I think the reality of her origin might be something between the book and your theory.


When u said this all sounds familiar, i instantly thought that chrysalis was the alicorn princess and she turned bad because she used the love spell and celestia separated the two. This kinda fits in with her motive: to get love


there's a book called  "twilight and the crystal heart spell" that touched upon cadence's past and how she met celestia. not sure if you've read it yet but i suggest you should!


Well, dang...! You have such intimate knowledge of the show's lore. I can buy this as canon!


I was reading the comments and

When Cadence returned the heart, a pony yelled out "look. It's the crystal princess" might not mean much, but to me it kinda felt like maybe there was a previous crystal princess. Cuz Cadence was sent to just protect at first i do believe, but obviously to also rule. Otherwise the kingdom would have fallen faster, and the crystal ponies were too depressed to probably think of her as their new Ruler.

Some people are saying the Cadence could be the daughter of those lovebirds in the story. And how her mother was the previous crystal princess. But as the story goes, the potion screwed things up, and so came Sambra.

Maybe when the kingdom fell and vanished, so did her parents.


One problem with your hypothesis is that when we see Cadance as Twilight's foalsitter, she is noticeably younger, essentially a teenager/adolescent. That argues against Cadance being many years (perhaps centuries) old. Also, Cadance was allegedly born a Pegasus (though that has yet to be made official).


I was waiting for this, I love your videos, you're very interesting and amazing. Than,s for the wonderful upload like usual :D


Theory: I think Cadence is the daughter of the two ponies depicted in the book and was born a Pegasus. Her parents were probably always fighting and couldn’t get along together. This is where they decided to use the love potion to make them love each other and how Cadence had learn the love spell, but her version isn’t as strong as the original. However, this backfired, causing their kingdom to fall because the potion was a love poison. After their kingdom fell, Cadence had somehow freed her parents from the love poison, then Celestia appeared and made Cadence an Alicorn.


I really enjoyed this. Keep up the good work. Have a wonderful day SawTooth Waves. Have a wonderful day.


If she was the alicorn in the story, then she already had character development. Which is a good thing.<br>If not, then maybe she is the alicorn's successor, or a filly inspired by her, and learned from her mistakes. I would not mind about that.

Could you theorise about the geodes's origin next please? First of all I notice that they give the mane 7 similar abilities to their countrepats so maybe Sunset was able to do mind reading spells in Equestria.


I think there could be something to this theory, as it was also said that Tyrek (or whatever it is written) already knows the three princesses and that he was locked up for a long time.  That means Cadence would have to be older.


As much as I dig the idea, I really doubt Cadence is that same pony. The fact that the princess in the book is an alicorn isn't an odd detail to put in - every princess is an alicorn. Hell, even some of the other species' rulers are their equivalent to it.

Celestia. Cadence. Luna. Twilight was turned into an alicorn when given the title, making it seem like it's a requirement. Even Chrysalis and the leader of the kirin, while not technically alicorns/ponies, have the same stature as the adult pony princesses.

My theory would be that, if Cadence is related to the couple from the story at all, it would be as a...well, relative. A daughter, granddaughter, something like that.
Since it's specified as "long ago" and the holiday has seemingly existed for ages, and Cadence is shown as not being an adult yet when Twilight was a child, I doubt that it happened when she was still a kid.
That's actually the biggest reason for why I think the theory doesn't work - we can clearly see that Cadence looks different as an adult than she did when playing babysitter. The princesses are all (from what we know) immortal and seemingly stop aging when they're in the "lanky tall adult" phase that Luna and Celestia are in the entire series.

So Cadence couldn't have been an adult and part of that story when she was babysitting Twilight. But it also couldn't have happened after, since
1. Twilight would have probably been told about it
2. it wouldn't have been "long ago".

Cadence being from that bloodline, however, works pretty well - either as a daughter or more distant relative - in my opinion.

There is one problem with the theory that Cadence is the Alicorn in the book.
We don't know the age of any of the characters, but we do have a rough idea. In the flash back with her babysitting twilight, she was not fully grown. She was closer to Sandbar's age, or Apple Jack's in the "Where the Apple Lies".
Even if Cadence is immortal (which i don't think she is, I think only Celestia,  Luna, and Twilight are for reasons that are too long to put into a comment)
But assuming she IS immortal, we know that immortal ponies keep growing and aging to a certain point, and it doesn't take any more than probably 40 years judging by the finale episode. This would mean Cadence is most likely between 20 and 30 at the time of her marriage, and if that's the case, hearts and hooves day couldn't have been going on for very long,  and during that time Cadence would have inherited a Kingdom, met a prince from some other kingdom, had both kingdoms fall without Celestia's intervention, then Cadence moves on to babysitting.
And how young would Cadence had to have been during the time of ruling a kingdom and falling in love with a prince? I'm gonna say about ten.
While I doubt Cadence IS the pony in the book, I am certain she is somehow connected to her.

Sorry for poking a hole in your theory.

Lol I have same theory, my comment is very similar


The prince's drawing looks so much like Caydens


cadence's magic is ominously similar to the want it need it spell


if you read the book of the journal of the two sisters it explains her back story a little bit.


I think Cadance is a princess of a queen with magic like that. When i looked up Princess Cadance mother i saw picture that said that her mother was Princess Mi Amore and her outfit had a lot of hearts all over so i think she had that power from her mother.


I feel like the prince and princess under the spell were her parents and due to the spell it was sort of a "tangled" situation where she gained some powers from the potion


Cadence has a cutie mark that represents love. Isn't it her destiny?


I've always wondered how she became a alicorn.


maybe she was the one who provided the potion cause she is the princess of love which means that she has a strong understanding of love and spells related to love. Plus she would of left the need to help the relation ship because she was the princess of love.


whenever i see this dude upload i always click because i love the horse theories


This is a great theory, but I'm left wondering if the official comics are canon? Because there are a lot of details that could contribute to this theory, such as sombra killing a princess "mi amore" who I assume is cadence's mother(?).


Like others in the comment section i prefer the version that Cadence likely got her love spell true the potion due to her being the love kid of the potion. Houwever since the potion likely ended up killing the coupple, (since we know the kingdom fell) this wuld leave cadence in the same position as Harry potters Tom Riddle, and even if cadence (if related to the potion at all) knew what love felt like shed likely ignore it (she used the love spell btw showing she dit not know ((very well)) what love is, or at least what a good relationship represents) to me the therory falls appart, i feel cadence is especially as the prinses (marry sue of the subject youre prinses in) of love, shed be one of view to find “true love” in eqestria disconnecting her from the love potion in my mind the spell was preformed when she was yung and not fully mature. I feel that the story in ‘harts and hooves day’ is not connected to cadence... sorry for saying so sawtooth, but back to the drawing board on this one in my opinion


I actually think sombra casted a love potion spell on the Ruler before Cadance, and the ruler fell in love with sombra and the kingdom fell, and Sombra took over?


I feel like every time I click on a Sawtooth Wave video my mind is like: but, why didn’t I think of that


4:53
And they both broke their bodies with that heart they made a second after,and somehow are still alive🤗☺😋


I like that theory and it makes sense but my take on it is that she is the child of the alicorn and earth pony prince. Since the child would be a consequence of the love potion it would make sense that her powers would also be of love.


Please make a video on why cadence might have become an alicorn so young


the crystal heart spell says that cadence was found nearby a village by 2 earth ponies and then she was adopted. During her childhood she spread love to everyone in the village and there was a pony named Prismia that had a green heart necklace that could steal love from other creatures. Then cadence defeated her and then was teleported to the same place where twilight became an alicorn and she also became an alicorn like twilight. Later she was adopted by celestia has her royale niece.

@BatKittii it actually is canon (to an extent)

Well, the book isn’t technically cannon if I’m not mistaken


If Cadence is the daughter of the prince and the princess then perhaps her parents were so caught off in their love for one another, they didn't have enough love for Cadence. Perhaps Cadence was neglected as a foal and never experienced real love from parent to child. Maybe that's why Celestia took her in? Same way Celestia set a path for Twilight to discover friendship, maybe she did the same thing for Cadence? Maybe the babysitting was for Cadence to learn what love is and how to share it with others and how foals love their caretakers and vise versa.
It would also make sense that Flurry Heart represents the love for one's caretaker if Cadence never experienced that love until she learned it from Celestia? Cadence had a family formed from real love which is something she never had. Exactly the same as Twilight discovering real friendship as her path to becoming a princess.

Also maybe after learning what love is with Celestia, she went back to her parents and was able to break the spell? Maybe that's how she became an alicorn and the Princess of Love. It would make sense!


has anyone gone over theories on why cadences wings have purple and pink while no other canon pony has wings like that?


I do like the idea that the spell and cadence are somehow connected, but her being the princess in the story I find kinda if-ish. I like the idea better that it was her parents in that story or perhaps the story is not the full truth (throughout history parts of stories get changed for different reasons) so maybe the pony in the love spell potion wasn't really an alicorn and it was cadence's mom. Another thing is that there is a thoery that princess amore from the comics is related to cadence cause princess mi AMORE cadendaza (can't spell ;^;).

So this is my theory: what if princess Amore is cadence's mom who is the princess in the love spell. Sometime down the line Amore broke out of the spell. When cadence was very young, her mom got turned to stone which somehow lead her to get lost in the forest where she was found in the book. Then cadence earns her wings and cutie mark. Honestly that would also kinda explain why Celestia made her a princess afterwards so fast unlike twilight who toke 3 seasons to become an alicorn. Cadence got her horn after she got her cutie mark.


I think sawtooth is right but we don't have any proof that cadence was around during the first pony valentine's but if you push that aside I agree with you


I don’t think that Cadence is the pony that was put under the love potion. Remember in the Crystal Empire part two, a Crystal Pony recognized Cadence as the Crystal Princess. Perhaps it was her mother not her. Maybe that’s why Cadence values Love and Friendship, because if that’s the case she was neglected by her parents because they were lost in each other’s eyes. If they couldn’t preform their royal duties they definitely wouldn’t have been able to care for their own daughter.


Here is my theory <br>The both ancient king and queen for so deeply in love that they forgot about their child and left the child somewhere  the child was cadence she got the power of her mother and father and  became the love princess and celestial found her

Here is my theory
The both ancient king and queen for so deeply in love that they forgot about their child and left the child somewhere  the child was cadence she got the power of her mother and father and  became the love princess and celestial found her


Maybe those ponies in the story are Cadance’s ancestors? If so, the potion got mixed into the DNA and manifested as a spell! But that’s what I think.


I think the pony from hearts and hooves day is Cadence's mom that would explain why she would use that magic


(Plzz see the video in which there is queen crystallis backstory)<br>I saw a video in which it was shown that queen crystall-is's back story and it was proven that she was the the lost princess of crystall empire so what if she was the princess responsible for  the love one day.And the reason is there in that video why she turned evil so maybe cadence was just a random pony and then celestia knew that she could be the new princess of love and turned her alicorn princess cadance was studying in celestia's school only and then she started babysitting twilight and on and on and on.

i would actually guess that ceidences timeline is simular to twilights, i mean they were both children and they have grown up at the same time. it would make more sence of caidence being in the bloodline of the prinsess instead of being the prinsess


i remember being obsessed with mlp when I was like in year 1 and I used to watch the episodes with my friend when I went to her house to hang out and now she's even worse than a fake friend and these videos remind me of when me and that friend were real friends and now we hate each other, I'm her second option when her new mind slave isn't at school and she tries to steal all of the new friends I get. When I got a friend that I could trust more than anyone in my class, the fake friend demanded to meet her. I was worried that she'd try to steal my first real best friend so I said "I aint going to introduce u to her, if u want to meet her go talk to her urself" and after a long time she gave up but I aint going to forget the best or worst times with the fake friend. The thing that reminds me the most of the good times is these videos because they make me remember how much obsessed me and that friend were with mlp when we were real friends. I just wanted to share this story cuz I got reminded about it.


Good theory but I’m still a big fan of ink roses theory that the princess from that story was chrysalis. And that the origin of the changlings feeding off of love is from the backfired love potion


I'm still bumbed that we never got a Cadance episode and her only significant story was a third party novel.


Cadance is one of the most underused character and the most underused princess, like she could've done so much more for the storyline and stuff but the writers didn't really include her in basically important stuff kinda sad tbh


I agree with Benrisal and Pastel maybe Candance is their daughter that would make more sense


I personally prefer Ink Rose’s version of Cadence’s backstory.


I think crystalis (I’m sorry for my spelling) is that princess from hearts and hooves day. If love was all the princess thought of after consuming the potion...........


That one scene with those two ponies always made me wonder too


Cadance wasn't a unicorn before she became an alicorn, she was a pegasus. Plus her age is way off in the book...we don't need to know her age to know that the princess in the book is more mature than Cadance would have been.
Likely all this is with the similarities with the spell, is just the way "love spells" and "love poisons" work...the difference being that Cadance's love spell reminds ponies why they love each other, where as the love poison forces ponies to be infatuated with each other (which isn't even love).

That means when Cadance cast her love spell on Shining Armor, she wasn't controlling his will, or forcing his affections on herself, instead, she was merely reminding him why he loved her. Don't forget, Chrystalis forced Shining Armor's love for Cadance to be channeled on Chrystalis instead, and it was so forceful that Shining Armor just fell into a hypnotic state....his love for Cadance could have even been influenced to change toward Chrystalis, we don't know for sure..it's just what you see is what you get, whatever happened to Shining Armor, we know he wasn't acting on his own will.


Awesome vid. ! I really like this speculation ! It adds up, and it may be a possibility.


ok this is my headcanon now. Also I think Cadence still has connections to the Crystal Empire


Going off of his theory What if the Crystal Empire disappeared because Cadence couldn’t do her royal duties?


I agree with your theory! This is an awsome video!


Well we know how old Twilight's older brother is ish so I don't think she is as old as hearts and hooves maybe an aged relative who's curse was lifted before Celestia was an alicorn


I have a theroy.
What happened with cosy glow's parents?
Awsome job👍


Maybe Cadance is the daughter of the two but Cadance's parents was too deep in the spell that there didnt take care of her, so two earth ponys took her in and as she got older, she released that she was the only pegasus in the town, so she ask the earth ponys why is that and not wanting to tell her the true, there says "we find u one day" (this dose have to with the book)


I don't think Cadence was the Alicorn in the illustrated fable. While your narrative makes sense, sawtooth, I can not discount that book, those comics, and the supporting tweets.

That said, I do think that there is a connection between the two, and I will explain what that connection is here in a moment.

Now, one key reason why I do not think that "Princess Mia Motori Cadenza" use her full & formal name, is the Alicorn depicted in the "hearts and hooves day" episode is the fact that in both comics and flashbacks we see her being SIMILAR in age to twilight; slightly older, but not by much, which means that she would have been __a child__ and I just do not think that child-molestation, or even the implications of it being a part of the "Equestrian universe" would have any place in our beloved 'Technicolor pony show'...

But I do think that one of your theories about the inheritance of the crystal empire might have some weight here: what If Cadence is their Empress not only by right-of-arms: but blood as well?

Picture if you will the reign of King Sombra, you've said that he may have created the Alicorn Amulet by channeling all of the power of his alicorn form into it in part of the process of transforming into the shadow-monster he later became; but, why? What could drive an alicorn, who all seem to be powered by positive emotions to become that type of thing, on purpose?

What if I told you that it ties back into the Flurry-Heart conundrum?

It all comes down to the crystal empire and the nature of its monarchy.

I believe that, if the Sombra theory is true, he was not the first to be so; in fact, the crystal heart is an alternative manifestation of the same principles of Alicorn power transmission that he corrupted to create the Alicorn Amulet.

In the elder days of the crystal empire, the ponies there didn't 'Crystalize' the way they do now, not until the first time their alicorn rulers died in the process of channeling the last of their fading power and essence into the making of the crystal heart. Now, normally alicorns can't be killed by any means except violence, but I do not think that these were the same alicorns we have in later years. I think that somehow, star-swirls experiments CHANGED how alicorns work and made them immortal. If not that, then perhaps the alicorn rulers of the crystal empire were just, different, from how it works for the latest set, perhaps because they represented love, which, while it is eternal, in a sense, must die and renew itself, like a Phoenix, every few years to even last a single lifetime.

In any case, as the rulers of the crystal empire grew old and close to the end of their lives, quite possibly already knocking on the door of death anyway, they would put their magic into the heart and end their lives on their terms. However, one of their children, the first-born, would be BORN an alicorn, and the next ruler by what amounts to a divine mandate.

Now, where do Sombra, Cadence, and Flurry-Heart fit into this?

Sombra was the last heir to the crystal empire before Cadence, and, he went mad, turning himself into a shadow-demon-thing... With no other alicorn to carry-on the maintenance of the crystal heart, the people were FORCED to follow him, miserable though his rule was because no other options were available. But then, Celestia\* and Luna appeared, and war broke out between the two countries of Equestria and the crystal empire, and I think that it was not only a war between the two but a civil-war of rebels fighting Sombra to proclaim the Royal Sisters Queens in his place. You note, Sombra wasn't defeated at the far southern border of the empire, but within shouting distance of the capital city; I think that it took a significant armed conflict to force him back to that point.
\*(As a side note, it is part of my head-canon that Celestia wasn't always called that, but rather took it as a Reign-name after being acclaimed to the rank of Princess. I think her original name was something like "Solaria", but I digress, that's a theory for another time.)

Now, I asked what would drive Sombra to give up his pony hood and become a terrifying shadow monster; what if, he watched the poisoning of the previous princess, his mother; and that warped him so badly that he vowed to find a way to separate his heart and soul and mind into three distinct entities so none could be tampered with by affecting the other two? This results in the creation of the Alicorn Amulet, and his turning into a shadow-monster.

I do think that it makes sense, but I said at the start that Cadence was heir by blood, as well as a divine right, how does that work, and tie back to the potion? I think Cadence was the distant descendent of a younger-child of Sombra's mother, conceived during the period of being poisoned. Cast out by Sombra when he came to power, this child emigrated to Equestria, never speaking of their ancestors, lest Sombra has them assassinated, but, when the Crystal Heart began to awaken as the icy slumber encasing the kingdom waned, it called to the most direct dependent of the old bloodline who was still alive and uncorrupted to come to save it, and that descendant was Mia Motori Cadenza, AKA: Cadence.

Now, I know that there are going to be a few objections, and some of them have answers:
Q1: "But Cadence was a Pegasus, and the crystal ponies are all Earth-types..."
A1: We've seen earth ponies give birth to pegasi before, (looking at you Mrs. Cake...); so it's not out of the question that at some point in the intervening years the bloodlines of earth-ponies from that early "second-son", (or daughter, I'm more partial to the idea that Sombra's half-sibling was a mare, actually), simply died out over the years; leaving the daughter of a pegasus bloodline "the last mare standing".
Q2: "But Luna said they had never heard of something like that happening with Flurry-Heart."
A2: Um, yeah, and? Celestial and Luna weren't BORN royalty, so of course, they were not privy to the big secrets of the unicorns. The idea that there were earth-ponies who could pick up the greatest wizards of the unicorn nation and dribble them like a basketball probably was a state secret on the level of the schematics of first-strike capacity stealth submarines in the early 1960s! With the whole "Clover the Clever" incident such knowledge was lost; especially the details, if not the broader strokes.

I don't think Cadence was the Alicorn in the illustrated fable. While your narrative makes sense, sawtooth, I can not discount that book, those comics, and the supporting tweets.

That said, I do think that there is a connection between the two, and I will explain what that connection is here in a moment.

Now, one key reason why I do not think that "Princess Mia Motori Cadenza" use her full & formal name, is the Alicorn depicted in the "hearts and hooves day" episode is the fact that in both comics and flashbacks we see her being SIMILAR in age to twilight; slightly older, but not by much, which means that she would have been ___a child___ and I just do not think that child-molestation, or even the implications of it being a part of the "Equestrian universe" would have any place in our beloved 'Technicolor pony show'...

But I do think that one of your theories about the inheritance of the crystal empire might have some weight here: what If Cadence is their Empress not only by right-of-arms: but blood as well?

Picture if you will the reign of King Sombra, you've said that he may have created the Alicorn Amulet by channeling all of the power of his alicorn form into it in part of the process of transforming into the shadow-monster he later became; but, why? What could drive an alicorn, who all seem to be powered by positive emotions to become that type of thing, on purpose?

What if I told you that it ties back into the Flurry-Heart conundrum?

It all comes down to the crystal empire and the nature of its monarchy.

I believe that, if the Sombra theory is true, he was not the first to be so; in fact, the crystal heart is an alternative manifestation of the same principles of Alicorn power transmission that he corrupted to create the Alicorn Amulet.

In the elder days of the crystal empire, the ponies there didn't 'Crystalize' the way they do now, not until the first time their alicorn rulers died in the process of channeling the last of their fading power and essence into the making of the crystal heart. Now, normally alicorns can't be killed by any means except violence, but I do not think that these were the same alicorns we have in later years. I think that somehow, star-swirls experiments CHANGED how alicorns work and made them immortal. If not that, then perhaps the alicorn rulers of the crystal empire were just, different, from how it works for the latest set, perhaps because they represented love, which, while it is eternal, in a sense, must die and renew itself, like a Phoenix, every few years to even last a single lifetime.

In any case, as the rulers of the crystal empire grew old and close to the end of their lives, quite possibly already knocking on the door of death anyway, they would put their magic into the heart and end their lives on their terms. However, one of their children, the first-born, would be BORN an alicorn, and the next ruler by what amounts to a divine mandate.

Now, where do Sombra, Cadence, and Flurry-Heart fit into this?

Sombra was the last heir to the crystal empire before Cadence, and, he went mad, turning himself into a shadow-demon-thing... With no other alicorn to carry-on the maintenance of the crystal heart, the people were FORCED to follow him, miserable though his rule was because no other options were available.

You and Littleshy are the only brony youtubers I trust.


I watched this video where it said that she was an orphan and these two earth ponies took her in and raised her.


So.. did anyone else think: oh so Sombre was the pony who poisoned her and the crystal empire fell or is that’s just me 🤦🏽♀


Maybe the Prince and Princess of the story we're somehow her parents or something 🤔 <br>It's a long shot but thats the first thing that came to mind

Maybe the Prince and Princess of the story we're somehow her parents or something 🤔
It's a long shot but thats the first thing that came to mind


I'm glad you brought this up the first time I saw cadences power I waa like thats not good and I thought she had shineinf armour inder a spell


I like to think that the ponies on the story are her parents, we don't actually know if there were alicorns in the past. I doubt cadence was born an alicorn but became one like twilight


I think Cadence was that alicorn because technically she gives like a love poison. I mean her hair looks like the Alicorns hair even her wings looks like that other Alicorns wings


What if the kingdom was the crystal empire and because cadence was so infatuated she was completely oblivious to king sombra taking up power. When she was released it was too late and there was nothing she would do but go on living like it didn’t happen


What if Princess Cadance was the daughter of those 2 and the love potion came into her mom which made her have all that to make people fall in love??? Idk its my theory but also I think ur theory fits. And maybe that Celestia took care of Cadance? Idk I could be wrong LOL


this is going to swirl(*cough*cringey pun) in my head whole time rn- but heck its actually amazing idea!


That only makes sense because if you remember the Crystal Empire was taken over by zomba but we don't know anything past that so when the crystal pony said the princess or the Queen is back that means cadence could have been that princess or queen


Well in cadence's back story it is said that she was a Pegasus adopted by earth ponies. Even if that's only fan made, in one episode little twilight says to cadence " you are now a princess. You won't have time for me anymore" or something like this. Well they only see alicorns as princesses.That means she wasn't an alicorn before. So I don't know about this theory


I think that alicorn of the story is Crhysalis!


I kinda agree with you but the hearth warming thing happen many years ago? And candance became a alicorn around the same age has twilight when she was little by princess celesda. So she couldn’t be the same alicorn in the book. Maybe her mother!?


Bruh you are amazing because you help us know what happens in my little pony thank you so much


This is a cute theory but I thought I heard there was a chapter book about Cadence and she was a pegasus that went alicorn? Twilight Sparkle and the Crystal Heart Spell?


Where's that "good for her" gif when you need it


I realized this posted

TODAY

I like this theory a lot though

Is it possible if you can do a video on each villains motives?


If this is what cadences past was like that's dark


I think she was the daughter of the Crystal Princess
Or The De-Aged crystal princess.
I think she was grazed by sombra’s time spell
But that’s just a theory, A MLP Theory


It sounds possible but from a mlp comic Candace said the she was founded from a pegasi family. Also in this comic the pony that its based on it she said Candace looked like the old Queen or Princess of the Crystal Empire. Idk but I think you should look for the mlp comic I'm talking about it could help with your theory. Also I love videos 💙🦄


Are the comics cannon? Cause of so, then “reflections” would tie in really well, as it explains what happened to Amore


U ARE BACK AND WITH SOMETHING THAT I HAVE ALLWAYS WANTED I THINK THIS IS A DREAM


Hey I really like this video but what if you did a video on princess Luna why was she so young when she came back and when the tree of harmony was dying when twilight looked in the past she was as old as she was now I would really appreciate if you did a video on this but you don't have to if you don't want to😊


Maybe the Alacon from hearts and tough day is cadence's mother


is it just me or does that swirl on cadance's necklace thing look like half of a heart. if thats true then who has the other half?


Does anyone have any theorys on how prince blue blood is celestia's nephew?


In my dream I was runded by a illegal business and heres the thing flurry heart was involved in a even worse fight against apex and I nearly died twice first time was from fatal injuries and second was from blood lost and my dream girlfriend broke up and gone with apex and I was called out of the fight because of the rund and heres the thing I have got those injuries by a crane and a injection of a micro chip in the same shoulder that I have my cutie mark and again not a patrion and imagion the crane shocking with 10 gigabolts of electricity and the creature was from pokemon when a pecachu used it z moves twice both at the same time the only double attack was my kill to scropan and he tried to kill me but I'm to late to found out that he was mind controlled


One thing to consider: The only time we've seen stallion rulers without horns are when they aren't from Equestria...


Hi swathooth, what i'm going to say have nothing to do with the cadence theory, is about the  king sombra theory video I was watching again: I was thinking if the amulet was so important and powerfull how it ended in the hooves of that random pony who sold for Trixie something so powerfull wouldn't be just thrown away , and if the amulet of the alicorn contains magic from all three tribes trixie should have been turned into an alicorn even if the magic was corrupted it was magic from unicorns, pegasis, and earth ponys

I love your videos and your theoryes, thanks for making a new video and i wish you see my coment


Think about it 6 unicorns raised the sun but non became alicorns we already know some were mares so why not Celestia and Luna got their wings by breaking her relatives curse


I googled it up and it says she’s a thousand years old..

G R A N D M A


Omg finally you make a video of her thanks for replying and we love you make more of you videos please


ten minutes and he already has 2.2k likes...........AND THIS IS WHY I'M SUBSCRIBED


While I'm personally not sure if I agree with this theory I can say one thing. But it's more of an observation and I don't functionally want to read into it further than what im saying here.

It's become a thing for -keyword SOME abuse victims to use the idea of the abuse as a sort of kink in their later life post abuse, usually in order to regain the control they didn't have during the experience. -Think knife play or types of maybe more extreme BDSM...

I just listened to what happened in the original story from the Hearts and Hooves Day episode. The Prince gave a love 'potion' to someone he liked and as a result it made them want to stay together and get lost in each others eyes and they end up ignoring the rest of the kingdom as a result. They let their kingdom fall to ruin from neglect. (Not including the dragon also mentioned in the story but maybe thats a story for someoneto write) Could that have been an intentional mislead on his behalf? Also it doesn't even explicitly say the princess consented but I might be reading into things too much there. Sounds pretty dark to me actually now I'm thinking about it this much. It doesn't say how long this love poison lasted for but I don't think a kingdom necessarily falls in a day. Well this is My Little Pony and worse has happened on the show but thats another coversation...

WHAT IM NOT TRYING TO SAY, is that the princess/alicorn from the original Hearts and Hooves Day story was definitely an abuse victim, and neither is Cadance. But hypothetically if Cadance was that princess, could that have something to do with her showing off her love magic to Twilight through affecting that couple without: A, knowing anything about them, B, not even asking for context or even what the argument was about or C, even GETTING THEIR CONSENT to use her spell on them. Maybe she just sort of assumed it was fine to do it? And even if she did know who the couple was which I doubt would that even make it okay to just have done the spell regardless.

I don't know what I came across mentally to have written this out but I feel like I'm onto something here. Or I'm just reading into a little girls show about bright pastel ponies... oops


I LOVE THE SONG THAT YOU PLAY ON THE END OF UR VID I FOUND THE SONG AND PLAY IT WHEN EVER I HAVE THE TIME!!!!!!!!!!


We know way Cadence become alicorn, but she locked like she is teenager in Twilight's flashback, that means she grow up in same time as normal ponies (and not like Lina and Celestia, they are 1000+ years old). That mean she was kid when she became alicorn, so she isn't princess from story...


How for Celestia's sake did she spread that love BEFORE she was an alicorn??? Cause we know that originally she'a a pagasus!


Can you explain why sunset shimmer’s magic was teal in the first movie? But was red from the 3rd film onwards?


Chrysalis is the Ex-Princess of love btw


Ayoo- what if they were Cadance's parents😳


Hey i have an idea ok so a few people have mentioned that she could be their daughter and maybe she was ok so lets say that alicorn use to be a pegasus just like cadance and became an alicorn princess as well then she had that love potion which took over her life and she ended up having a baby pegasus with the prince called Cadance but due to their unnatural love for each other the prince and princess abandoned Cadance and went on with their love life with only the two of them that's when Celestia found Cadance along and scared and so Celestia took her in and she may of been a pegasus but since there was a pegasus turned alicorn before her Celestia thought Cadance could become a strong princess and that's how she became the princess of love as a way to replace her mother who never had the chance to know what it truly felt like 😁

@Bella Hoffman Thanks 😊 but i cant take all the credit i saw some people say she could be the daughter plus im sure someone's thought of something similar ❤


Maybe when in the story it said there kingdom fell this might not Mach up with cannon but that is when king sombra took over


I have a question about mlp. In friendship university  how did flim and flam get a hold of twilights book. Just like rarity says


What if Cadence had a relationship with Blueblood and that's how he became a prince?

Вениамин Барашкин

@Reese He's a fifty two time cousin to Celestia so it doesn't count as incest and then before turning into an Alicorn there didn't seem to be any dating between Celestia and Cadence so a niece might just be an affectionate treatment

Вениамин Барашкин

That would be incest as Cadence is Celestia’s niece, making her Blueblood’s cousin.


The two ponies could be the parents of Cadence. And the potion can I have affected the baby which is cadence so maybe that’s why she has the heart as her cutie mark. But that’s just a theory. But who knows


There might be a chance that's princess cadance backstory because there's only 5 allicorns and it would not be princess luna because princess cadance is already a princess after princess luna was banished to the moon and if it was princess luna was that mysterious princess the kingdom would not fall because princess celestia was the ruler of equstria and princess luna's job was to lower the moon and dream walking as for princess celestia how would the canterlot would be in peace and who would help the  mysterious prince and princess celestia break out from the spell and plus princess celestia and princess luna was the only starswirl of bearden turned into allicorns. (Sorry for bad grammar)


how did this Alicorn in the Book become one? In the Show, Its like: If you find another cind of magic, you become an alicorn. When Cadence IS that Alicorn, she must have been in love before, to find thid magic. But when she is NOT this alicorn, who is it then, And what cind of magic does she have? I have an Idea: What, if she is Cadences mother, and her magic is another cind of love, like Flurryheart. Maybe the love to her dauther. Just my thought.


I love the crystal love princess pony :>


or maybe those two ponies are cadence's mom and dad! it makes sence! its there daughter that had the continution of the love potion in her! magic....


In the book that is princess cadence mom and dad and when she was born they still must have had some love In the baby because the mom looks like princess cadence


I this that princess in the love spell was her mom and the prince was her dad.


wait what if that prince and that princess are King sombras mother and father?The princess would be Princess Amore and  the prince's name is unknown. It would go perfectly with my theory.(Btw I just mixed sawtooths theory and conspirapon3s theory.)My theory is that After Celestia and Luna realized they could raise the moon and sun,they absorbed the magic of all 3 tribes and became alicorns.Then Sombra  got jealous  of Celestia and Luna's power.Then chrysalis asks Celestia And Luna for help.Sombra then figures out how to take the magic from all 3 tribes and gets wings.After that luna and celestia fights sombra.Thats when starswirl comes in .He put all sombras Alicorn magic in The Alicorn Amulet. Then Sombra is banished,Chrysalis is angry cause she lost her husband and half her citizens and other half went homeless so then she decides to take revenge. : )


The clover on your head, WHAT DOES IT MEAN!


I wonder why didn't Princess Celestia told anyone about this 🤔 utleast she should have told twilight about it


Actully in show we see her as a Alicorn baby sitting btw


That's a good though but what about the spell that twilight at season 1 or 2 she made a love spell at her doll to make a friendship problem to the cutie mark crusedores and then with all the love magic at the doll all the town was after the thing that do you have to say about that?  <br>Please replay I want to know what do you think about my though.

OMG I didn’t realize that I was a little early this time! Luv ur channel! ❤


She ain’t the princess

She might be the princess daughter cause that would seem her to be to young to date anyone


This goes against the book tho. Daughter? Perhaps. The same pony? No


Sawtooth posts<br>Me.gotta get my thinking cap on

Sawtooth posts

Can you make video about human Sunset Shimmer, because Sunset we know, part of EG main 7, is from pony world, and we have no idea where is original human Sunset or how old is she...

I don’t thing she is that pony....I think that pony is het MOTHER. But that’s just a theory A CARTOON THEORY 😏


They come. the baby of kaidens is the first that born.


I mean the story might be fake but if it’s true that would only mean it’s cadence ooooor that alicorn died or lost all their magic like alicorn amulet or some other way


maybe she did not know lol or o or she was just doing what she can do


Hate to break it to ya, but I’m 90% sure the book is cannon.

It hasn’t been confirmed cannon but the creators is what he meant...


I think the book the woman is cadance mom,?


Your rite but theres one fing soty why Cadence is so Young?


5:34 what is that sound in the background-
5:41 again


Please tell me about mlp G5 because I have a lot of questions please please
My questions are:
What is g5 basically????
Are mlp characters are in g5????
Is Starlight Glimmer is in g5????
Is it possible that mlp producers make a series or a movie about starlight glimer because she is my favorite character and I really really want to see her become an alicorn please
Please please please please please reply my comment please please

Every fan of starlight glimer wants to see her become an alicorn

That's why I think she deserves to become an alicorn like twilight

And she is more powerful than twilight she is more talented than twilight her skills in magic are more amazing than twilight

But why she can't become an alicorn she saved equestria like twilight

1. G5 is the new generation of My Little Pony.
2. As of now, none of the G4 characters make a physical appearance aside from merch in one of the screenshots.
3. Starlight is not in G5. The producers said that none of the characters in G4 will return:
4. No. Hasbro is not making a movie or series about Starlight. She doesn’t have what it takes to properly rule and will never be an Alicorn.


Ok so twiltet how did clestiai no she was the chosen one.  And its kinda simler to her story she did not want
To make eny friends  and she was apart of the love priness's life she mabey has somthing to do
with this and she looket bichraad wen crislis chrapt her


He literally posted this today. What do you think.


hi I watched you when you where the brony noteion and then i stopped cuz i stopped watching you tube


Incredible theory as always.
I wonder who the stallion was?
I love how the series always adds little details to help the theorists


The small details I never notice until someone points them out. I look forward to seeing your videos all the time. It’s a nice answer to cadence’s backstory


The theory makes a lot of sense love your channel it really helps me understand a lot about mlp but one thing I’ve wondered how did celestial and Luna become alicorns was it from raising the sun and moon or doing something great and magical we don’t know there parents


Amazing! This is an amazing theory. She could have a history completely similar to this


Love your channel! I am a huge MLP fan and this is the one of the best channels I have ever found!!! Love from India 🇮🇳


It’s actually a really interesting theory! I definitely wish we could’ve gotten a canon backstory though ;-;


Great Video!!<br>Could you please explain the portals to Equestria? Like, is the island one natural and the statue one not? Or are they both natural? Or are neither of them natural? And how many are there?

Great Video!!

AWESOME! ❤
Cadence is my favorite princess, amazing 💜💙


Finally somebody told a thing I was thinking about all this years!!🧡😭🧡


I just had a flashback from one episode of sawtooth waves, he said, and I quote
“It would be nice if we had a CANON cadance backstory...”
Sawtooth gave himself a canon backstory.


I was waiting for this! 😄<br>But seriously this is an amazing theory keep up the good work

I was waiting for this! 😄
But seriously this is an amazing theory keep up the good work


I know the idw comic arc where sombra got reformed took place in alternate Reality but i was hoping that princess amore was gonna be mentioned in the show


For me it is a little hard for me to believe because when you compare the growth between the growth when twilight had in the last episode and how small cadence was when she was presented and could not have been so long long ago. Maybe several years or not even,<br>But in the recent years before she meet twilight she could have been trans formed. Since we don't know exactly what happen to cadence before then it could be many things. Like she could have been born an alicorn. Not likely though. But your theory is pretty solid considering. I enjoyed this video. 😁

I saw a great comic where Twilight went into how Cadence isn't the princess of love but the princess  of hormones, that she could kill someone if she tried


I think it would be more likely if cadence was the daughter from those two ponies and she inherited the love magic that infected with


Maybe the ponies were her parents. They could have been the orignal rulers of the crystal empire before Sombra, and that's why her royal crystal apperance is even more royal then twilights, and she could do that love spell because the potion could have had a lasting effect on the DNA if its never broken.

Cant be cus the birth from an Alicorn was never a thing until Flurry Heart came along. So, Cadence cant be the daughter of this Alicorn! Im pretty sure its just Cadence-


Hi sawtooth! Can you please make a video on human sunset shimmer (the one who didn't go through the portal to the human world) where is she now? And how is she? It would really mean a lot if did do a video on it!


I’ve always wondered what cadence)# canon backstory is


Here’s a thought what if the alicorn from the story was Princess Amore? She might have been the one that stallion loved.
And who to say the spell actually wore off? There must have been a side effect of some sort.
Maybe that’s way the spell Cadance used is so similar to that of the love poison.
Just think.....

That won’t work as Amore was a unicorn, never an alicorn/

She’s apparently related to Cadance. The princess of the Crystal Empire. <br>She was killed by King Sombra

She’s apparently related to Cadance. The princess of the Crystal Empire.
She was killed by King Sombra


Cadence is one of my fav princesses super humble


Just goes to show that just because it's all over, doesn't mean it has to stop.


Wait I have a hypothesis, Chrysalis and Cadence were sisters at one point in time


Originally I just thought that cadance was a pegasus and became an alicorn because she had extra magic

me = simple
Sawtooth Waves = complex

@ᴅᴡᴀᴇᴋᴋɪ ♥ That was written in the comic named ''Twilight and the Crystal Heart Spell''. Search ''mlp cadence's backstory'' and watch Magpie's video.

@katitobyt See I just watched mlp and laughed not once did u think of that

Cadence was originally a pegasus. After defeating a witch and bringing love back to her village, she became the princess of love.


Maybe she is the daughter of that alicorn princess, and the love power is some kind of side effect from the potion.


Hmmmmm.....makes a lotta sense. <br>But we still don't know how Cadence was born or adopted or very possibly created by someone or something.

Hi I love your videos you explain lot about my little pony  all my doubts are clear


Hey sawtooth I think because it said a long long time ago cadence would’ve been in adults from the first stages that we know about her she wouldn’t of been a baby when twilight was so I’m thinking that that’s the daughter of the princess that was corrupted with the love spell the love spell drained into her and gave her the magic since we never really see any sort of proof that she was a Pegasus before hand or Hoof that she might’ve just been born in alicorn<br>The only place it says that she was a Pegasus is in the comics so I’m thinking she’s the daughter of those two and she was separated because the mom and dad couldn’t care for her so that’s why she was separated from them and thrown into celestia is care I know it’s kind of out there but I really think that might’ve been what happened I hope you read this comment and her and maybe add together this and see if this would work😁

Hey I have a little challenge for you. Changinlings backstory and why mistmane and sombra's mane floats if they are  not a alicorns.

It was already established that Mistmane’s mane flowed because she had strong magic, and Sombra’s mane flowed because he’s a shadow pony/Umbra pony.


I always thought that princess amore was cadence mom


It would make sence  but then there are questions who is the prince where did his kingdom go and can stalions become alicorns since he was not a alicorn or had a alicorn bride before but it could be a answer for caidence


All villain on mlp is explained(history and more)in a mlp book FIENDship is magic


there is one problem about this theory. Cadence was babysitting twilight as a small pony and if she was already married wouldn't she be the big version of herself? sorry just thinking.


Is there an article with every instance of alicorns in the show or something


I like this theory the might be flaws but it is good


That,s Cadences parents had the love poison.


Finally! A new upload by Sawtooth Waves! (When I clicked, it said two minutes ago. 😂😂😂😂)


wow im early :v i haven't finished it yet but i like where this is going


I don't think thats cadence cause she married shining<br>armor

I don't think thats cadence cause she married shining
armor


I actually forgot about your channel until I saw you in my notification


ok so i saw something that makes no since how did spike turn into a crystal dragon


New theory what if that wasn’t cadence I mean the theory make sense what if that was a relative of cadence or a lost  alicorn princess that found a prince and wanted to get in love with him and maybe there was a old book about love spells or she created it used it on him and then that alicorn got lost of died idk but I feel like it was cadence


I don't think cadence was this princess but maybe its her daughter


THAT'S NOT TRUE CAD IS CELESTIA AND LUNA'S NIECE THE QUESTION IS HOW OLD IS CADANCE?


I think so it makes so much sense but there is one thing that is rong but in your other video I love your YouTube channel it makes me think so interesting love it cant wait for the next one.


I want to know something will u talk about g5 :> idc u post great things all the time!!


I kinda figured this story was her parents


Or she’s the daughter of these two ponies..


also how did the main 6 turn into crystal pony's pleas some one explain

They temporarily turned into Crystal Ponies because of the hearts’ magic.


Im still wondering why her first apperance got her looking kinda sus tho


We dont know cadances real parents she was adopted by two earth ponies and it wasent cadance as the princess in the story when she got her wings she was like when she did the love spell

@katitobyt i know cadance was a pegasus but we never knew her real parents

You are wrong. Cadence was originally a pegasus. After defeating a witch and bringing love back to her village, she became the princess of love.


I really hate the word Mary Sue it's so annoying there's an actual word of what it means but if I created my own Alicorn OC and calls it a Gary stue I'll be mad


Wow this is the quickest I have ever click on a video


i think thats no cadance becasue in the picture thats a full grown alicorn.. and cadance when we saw her when she did that magic to the ponys shes a kids or something... so i dont think that thats right....


@Sawtooth Waves Eh, I don't think so. If the Hearts and Hooves Day princess is Cadance's mother, that would make it likely that she passed her alicornhood onto Cadance, like Cadance herself with Flurry Heart, yet in The Crystalling, Cadance herself seemed a bit surprised that her daughter was born an alicorn.

Btw, great video Sawtooth!


I got here in 9 seconds and also I never saw how the picture of the princess was a alicorn so yeah


Little late on the valentine's day video don't ya think?


Wow just realized that this video got uploaded 2 minutes ago


When your early and you don't know what to say ._.

What?

Or even went on a misson to make his life longer

What if he commanded one of his subjects to do a spell to make him look more different

It’s not. They look nothing alike and Twilight said it happens a long time ago, long before Blueblood was born


What if the prince was sombra before he became a King and it was his kingdom that fell cause he loved that pony so much  and desperate the get it back on track after he realize what has happened he found something which turned him evil and he became king sombra and trapped the ponies until  the heart was found which intertwines  Candance and Sombra story and the story with the love potion together. What if sombra was the reason, what if the crystal empire was actually his and because he turned evil instead of actually restoring it he enslaved them control their mind with fear, what happens if he didnt get vaporize but instead reformed and realized what he has done, thinking he still had to save his kingdom just like how the pillars didnt know what century  they were in.


Loraine Foley is that right? So I am 8 so ya bye


I stan too many groups! Check em out in my about


Why was everything posted 6 hours ago cuz it was out 7 hours ago 6


Cadance is not the princess mentioned.. I think she is the princesses daughter. It is possible Cadance's mother was the past Princess of the Crystal Empire. In a lot of episodes, it says The Crystal Empire had fallen. Which makes me think that story is true.

Wow you l love pony so see data long see da
