y`know, when i saw the episode when Christalis impersonated Cadence i actually knew something wasnt right.. i was focused on her horn and how the colors werent the same.


What if her mother was the unicorn who took the love potion and before the love potion wore off on her, she had Cadance, resulting in her having magical abilities with love, and due to the powers initially coming from the potion, those powers were enough to result in her cutie mark as that’s what she was the best at, as well as that power being most significant to her ‘present’ and future, ultimately making it her destiny to be crowned as such, due to the power to make others get along was more than likely sought after, making her an obvious choice for a queen.


Sorry for bothering any of you with this, but I really wanted to share my thoughts on this.
Trigger warning: rape, sexual abuse

In all honesty, I feel connected to cadence in this aspect if the theory is true. Especially if "love spells" are seen as a stand-in for sexual abuse. At least in this context. I recently realized that the guy I used to date over a year ago actually raped me and groomed me. I can relate to that feeling of helplessness, the urge to take back control and power. I want to see the guy suffer or at least punished for what he did, but I know the justice system will allow him to walk free without consequences. The feeling of wanting to become the consequence is overwhelming and it takes a lot to focus on getting your life together again instead of taking revenge. It's very difficult. And if this theory is confirmed, it would make cadence a figure to look up to even more. A ray of hope for others in similar situations. A sign that says "you can do this".

And just to be clear, I am not saying that revenge is bad. I believe that it can truly help to heal victims and survivors of horrible crimes. I am just saying that it's important to try focusing on getting your life back together first and then going pro revenge on them. Unless you have faith in the justice system, of course.

Sorry for rambling. TLDR: Cadence as viewed through this theory makes her very relatable and strangely comforting to me. And it inspires me to work hard on getting my shit together again.


This is something i’ve always just wanted to know but was never actually solved

@Abby_liko  well we’re not really sure that they died but it’s most likely because in the ep crusaders of the lost mark apple jack said to apple blossom “if mom and dad were here they would be proud of you” and they were crying. Plus that’s a thing people would say if there talking about if someone’s parents died.

@LightningStripe25 wait, THEY DIED?! I thought they only left and went to a different place ;-;

Same. Another great mystery is how Bright Mac and Pear Blossom Died

I have tons of questions in mlp but I am too lazy so I hope one day someone will make a video out of it -_-


Putting aside the question of whether books and tweets--vague as they are--which contradict this have canonical weight, this theory has the problem that Cadance has visibly aged since she was Twilight's babysitter. She appeared to be a teenager back then, and now she looks like an adult; it's hard to pin down a precise apparent age for her at either time due to the limited variation in pony models and our lack of an actual reference point in terms of a pony of known age, but it's plausible that she's aging at the same rate as an ordinary non-alicorn and clear that she's at least been aging at some non-negligible rate. That strongly implies that she's not at all ancient and thus can't have been involved in any old legends.

And then, of course, there's the question of what connection, if any, exists between Princess Cadance and Princess Amore, the Crystal Princess from before the Crystal Empire disappeared . . .


Maybe cadence was the daughter of the two, which would explain her cutie mark, learning what actual love is, stopping the curse her father put on <br>Her mom and saving her kingdom, maybe she used a fake cutie mark when she was young, because she didn't know why her cutie mark wasn't there because she thought she knew everything about love... which explains why she did that to the couple cause she was taught that was love...

The woman and men could possibly be cadences parents which makes sense of why she has that ability. It would probably match up with cadences child that was born an alicorn, maybe cadence was born an alicorn as well. When cadence was little she maybe probably found out what her mother was going through and got hurt by that. But that still doesn’t add up to their kingdom falling but cadence could have been born before that even happening.
For me it makes sense for this and also yours but who knows maybe it’ll be a secret for a long time. We’ll see.
I hope you like my thought
Thanks for reading 😁


Hear me out, cadence is the child. The two were so affected by the potion that cadence got the potions magic. That might explain a few things


Fan Theory Time. Candace and this stallion was so distracted with love that that's how King Sombra was able to take over The Crystal Empire! And when Celestia, and Luna defeated, and banished King Sombra without a kingdom and nowhere else to live that's when Celestia took Candace under her wing and to teach her how to use her love spells more carefully and for good! 💔

@r¡n a kid cartoon did you even watch it?! (no offence)

There is also a book called cadance and the spring heart garden which can be used as a reference as to know about her past

Ирина Касева

And if it had happened after that twilight would have known of the crystal empire’s existence.

The crystal empire fell loonnnng before cadences time. We know because Of the way alicorns grow and how long the crystal empire has been missing Dont forget that that scene from the show depicted cadence as a teenager. She wasn’t even a full grown pony and she was an alicorn. That’s why I don’t agree with most of these theories.

If it was Cadence the stallion would have a horn like Shining Armor, but he doesn’t.

I am pretty sure princess amore used to take care of the crystal empire and could be the mom cadence.read fall of the crystall empire and evil is magic book 1

@AshBlueFox16 i mean crystal princess **

@Gold Pharaoh bitch cadence is amore good god do y'all even watch mlp

@AshBlueFox16 no princess amore was much older then cadence the reason why i say it was amore she was the ruler of the princess empire and she was always alone at that time so it would make sense if it was princess amore

@AshBlueFox16 or probably princess amore

@r¡n no when changeling sawtooth said cadence as candice


I have an idea.<br>Cadence's mom and dad could be the ponies in the story. They had a baby,which is Cadence,and when their kingdom fell,Celestia heard about the news,and went to the kingdom and found Cadence,and took her in. Maybe Cadence has her love magic,because of the potion,leaving an affect on her. But that's just what I think.

What if her spell works by solving the differences between those who are arguing and it doesn't actually have anything to do with that type of attraction or love at all?
It would still work the same way on everyone but not everyone would react the same way. Two arguing ponies who aren't in a relationship would stop fighting but they wouldn't fall in love with each other. Their differences would just be settled.
She's the princess of love but that's not just one form of love.

Hey, sawtooth I was wandering if you would make a changeling tearpage?? The changelings would love it!


I think hers is less making two ponys love each other who dont but more reminding them that they do love each other


Funny enough when Cadence was introduced, I was expecting a darker turn in the episode; I thought Cadence was going to be a changeling the whole time and that would be it


Несмотря на теории, Каденс остаётся моей любимой принцессой:)


Here is another idea! It was her parents. Her mother was with the love poison which is what caused the Crystal empire to fall to Sombra. Then the two had a baby which was rescued by Celestia and given her wings since Celestia knew her parents were gone and the kingdom would one day return. Because the mother was under the influence of the love potion when Candence was conceived…. That’s why she has that magic.


I think the Alicorn from the book could be her mother since the picture of her looks older


maybe you could do a vid about lightning dust I found out she looks like one of the equal ponies in equal village go and research it


it's a stretch, definitely, but i adore this theory!!! it's now canon to me


I don't think so. I think it was her destiny to spread love as she is the "crystal princess". Her magic is linked to love just like her kingdom. I think it was to show that her destiny is linked to the Crystal Kingdom. It was a foreshadow that she is ment to spread love to keep a kingdom intact.


Cadance is the princess of the Crystal Empire and hearts and hooves as a holiday was around way before cadance was around.

Don't forget that princess amore was around and cadace has similar magic,  love magic spefically to that of princess  amore ( amore being french for love)

Also the two fighting were confirmed to be a married couple of the verge of a divorce before cadance helped them.

Which princess amore was confirmed and cadnace is said to be a descendant of princess amore ( who not only was the orginal ruler of the Empire but who also created the Crystal heart)

If could be that princess amore in her youth may have been affected by the love potion/poison. But that is directly debunked if you look at the comics since princess amore never forsaked her duties .

It could be that beucase the term princess is automatically seen as being an alicorn , that the artist who made the book didnt know that a regular unicorn could a princess and so drew them as an alicorn.


I kinda like the idea that those are her parents because that would make her more or less born of that magic. Heck, even if they’re her grandparents or great grandparents, so long as she’s a direct descendent of the Hearts and Hooves ponies, she’d still only exist because of the love poison.

The part of me whose like “nooo this is too dark” on the other hand wants to headcanon that Cadence’s magic can’t mind control anyone and only brings to the surface love that’s already there. Not that there’s a contradiction in the two...


I absolutely love Cadence, she has so much heart and personality, I wish they gave her more lore qmp


There's actually a book called Twilight Sparkle and the Crystal Heart Spell that tells us the story of Princess Cadence's past. So the Hearts and Hooves day story couldn't be about Cadence. Also it explains that she didn't just come out of nowhere, but it doesn't explain how she became an alicorn.


the one thing you missed the princess pony looked a lot like cadence the hair was exactly the same and the male prince looked almost identical to twilights brother who is cadences husband so I think that the story was written far in the future where cadence and her husband are dead and someone’s magic brought it in to the past witch i’m assuming is flurry heart I mean who else would need cadence to come back she’s the princess of love I can’t really think of a disaster they would need her for but back to the book being sent to the past thing so the reason they needed her is because of equestria needing her and her husband withought them there wouldn’t be “Love”


I mean, I feel like she was the orphaned child of the Crystal Empire after something bad happened with the kingdom, and that she was then raised privately by some survivors before becoming an alicorn. And that then she met Celestia in Celestia’s realm and was taken back to be raised as her niece. I don’t remember where I got this theory but it makes much more sense than trying to connect two vastly different ideas. If anything, I would think Cadence’s mom had been the princess afflicted. (This is all just speculation though).


I think the couple was Cadence’s parents. The prince made the potion for her mother and the two of them got married and eventually had a child. But it didn’t take long for them to become so overrun with love, that they neglected their duties to the Crystal Empire and Sombra once again too control. Her parents were killed in the process, and Celestia took her in and then covered the Crystal empire with snow. She raised the young girl as her niece and eventually turned her into an alicorn


Cadence definitely had to have been around for a while, because in season 4, after he was released Tirek knew about Cadence (but not twilight) so she must have been around when he was imprisoned.


Cadence looks younger as Twilight’s sitter than in the picture


I usually assumed the prince and princess were either cadence ‘s parents grandparents or relatives in other way 💖


7th element faith(green). Spike who has a chair at the table in Twilight s Castle.  Stygan may have been the 7th but ended up having his faith broken and possibly stunted the trees growth seeking the elements.  Celestia may have thought twilight her faithful student was the secret 7th who could awaken the sleeping elements.  the 7th fuels the others while twilight s units them.  Ps love the sombra alicorn amulet video


I agree with you that’s the last year came to her rescue but maybe it wasn’t cadence that was under the spell maybe it was her mother and Celestia couldn’t separate her mother and father so instead of trying to save her mother she decided to let the kingdom fall and then cadence was old enough to rule the kingdom let her rule

(Sorry if I misspelled anything)


What if the downfall of the princess’ kingdom was related to king sombra taking over the crystal empire? Like if you think about it, we don’t have much backstory on the original ruler before him, and the crystal ponies call cadence the “crystal princess” when it seems they don’t know much about her…but what if she or an ancestor was the original ruler?


I think those two in the book are Cadence’s parents and she enherited some of the love magic somehow


I think, that the princess with the love potion was princess Amore. Amore means love, so she had something to with it... And Hope in the Crystal siege said, that cadance is very simular to her. Maybe they are connected...


As per usual, love the vids...but I have always wondered how her mane is 3 different colors and her wings two...and the explanation behind it, I mean does it only happen to alicorn royals, b/c Celestia's hair is sometimes depicted as light pink in her youth and now it's multi-colored<br>welp are pony's familiar with the use of hair dye or is it magic, welp with a video please with cheese

welp are pony's familiar with the use of hair dye or is it magic, welp with a video please with cheese


i personaly think that the love spell ponies might've been her parents, and the potion affected the princess magic so it transported to her child as Cadance's magic source


Cadence might have been born a alicorn if one of her parents was a Pegasus and the other parent is a unicorn.


I love this theory, I litreally got chills


If this is true, and taking into account that her age is unknown as well as tirek knew her, cadance could be the lost crystal princess, making it her empire that fell due to sombra's rule when she failed to protect it. This tie in neatly with your theory.


Maybe Cadence is actually the two ponies' child? Being born out of a love poison might have given her the same powers as it?


I think the cadance was the pony but when sombra came to the crystal empire cadance's mom defeated and went to gave her child a better future and she walked so hard that she dropped her at the earth pony village and then prisimia wanted love like queen chrysalis and she gave her a love spell without magic and then she had gone to the place where pnies become alicorns and celestia adopted as her royal niece and then she git her cutie mark as the crystal heart and she noticed that she ll rule one day and today she is the princess of the crystal empire


i noticed that Cadence was the only princess whose wings are purple at the tips (or have some color at the tips) and it makes me wonder if SHE was born an alicorn and that is the reason Flurry Heart was born with wings. maybe Cadence being a descendant of the prince & princess from the love day tale caused her to be born an alicorn thus she already knew what it was like to love but not in the way her cutie mark spoke and so she was born into alicornhood, like Flurry Heart being born already knowing how to love “ lightly “ like the crystal ponies do.

i soooo wish they didnt end the season so fast and cleared up certain things or at least had a discussion about all our unanswered questions. a lot of their episodes were rushed and made no sense at times and they never bothered to write in any answers for it. just left it a big mystery and ended the show. unlessssss, thats a plan for the new generation 🤡 actually doubt that lol


I think cadence was that princess on the potion and the kingdom that fell was the cristal empire, cuz cadence was so hipnotized by the potion that King sombra came and took over the empire, and only 1000 years later she started to rule the cristal empire again...


I think chrysalis is the the victim of the love potion but the Prince mixed it the wrong way or added something else like a part of a changeling. it could also be both to explain why chrysalis feeds of love and is a alicorn so she fed of the love of her kingdom


The stallion and mare in the book aren't related to Cadence. In fact, the mare having wings was an error, because later on in the episode, we see the same pair of ponies in the book but the mare only has a horn.


This is so interesting I love this channel it’s so cool!


Maybe cadence had a bad child hood and then when she finally got her cutey mark, she was finally able to get everyone together again and find love or find out what love was.


You make good points but if she really is the alicorn princess from hearts and hooves day then how did she break free from the love spell if shining armour didn’t exist back then but also when we take a look back to when she and twilight first met, she didn’t have a horn, we see that later on so what if that isn’t her but Luna and Celestia's secret sibling or she could be an alicorn from before Celestia and luna existed or it could be an alicorn related to twilight🤔 I mean there are so many possibilities of who is mystery alicorn really is, and where they came from and another thing who is the prince in the story and how did he meet this mysterious alicorn we know nothing about🤔


When we first met princess cadence she was never explained or expanded on of her backstory and her life I wish they made a princess cadence episode where we get to see her origin like how what she is and how she became to be and when she first met twilight sparkle

@KAN in Christ the song about Cadence on how she became a alicorn? I highly doubt it’s canon. No one knows how she became a alicorn

Same but all we have from her past is when she would baby sit Twilight when Twi was young


Okay so what if the hearts and hooves day prince and princess were cadence's parents, which would mean (1) the parents' kingdom fell, sending cadence away, (2) she could have inherited the ability somehow, and (3) since she's supposedly from another land, she could have been Born an alicorn- the other princesses wouldn't've known and it would explain why Cadence was the only one not really shocked or concerned when Flurry was born an alicorn. Her secret :o


I think you're right. If the princess in the book is Cadence, she would have got distracted from her duty to protect the Crystal Empire, so King Sombra got the chance to take over it. As you said if Princess Celestia and Luna went to her rescue, I think that means by banishing Sombra to the frozen north just like Princess Celestia told Twilight about the Crystal Empire but "not before he was able to put a curse upon the empire that made it vanish into thin air", sound familiar as Celestia gave Twilight's test at season 3, episode 1? But I think there also might be the possibilty that the alicorn princess was Cadence's mom. Because Celestia is more than a thousand years old, but Cadence is more shorter than her, so it might be Cadence's mom. What do you think???


When you look at the hair of the princess from the book, its the same as when cadance had her hair tied up


I’ve been doing some research about who her parents were but I couldn’t find anything but, I heard that she was born a Pegasus in the zebra empire and and she was raised by Earth ponies, but when she turned into a alicorn, princess Celestia took her and that’s where she was crowned a princess


The most confusing thing of all of this is why Celestia refers to Cadance as her "adopted niece", not "adopted daughter". Does it have anything to do with a lost sibling of Celestia and Luna? Maybe that Cosmos character that was rejected from the 2017 movie was planned earlier on, and for some reason they never actually got to bringing him in.


I have a theory. It couldn't be cadence bc she was super young when that happened. If you meant "She was sent to babysit other foals families" she was a teen. Alot of teens don't date. At that age. Also sure they didn't specify the time, so Twilight was probably  (idk) Teh first foal she babysat.


In that scene, I think it’s reasonable to assume she didn’t put any thought into the spell she cast, and did it to stop the arguing whilst baby twilight was present, it’s not to say that’s the only way she is the princess of love. She was just doing a quick job as a babysitter


I was completely against this theory at first but now I actually think it might be true


“Candace’s age is unknown” Well in that flashback she was around the same size as Twilight when the series first started and Twilight was still a filly soooo she’s probably 15-20 years older then Twilight

@Sawtooth Waves Technically not confirmed tho

@Sawtooth Waves can you do a theory how could the mane 7 return in G5 like time travel or something else ?

@Reagan Thai that would be amazing! We legit know nothing from the sisters past but in my opinion there isn’t any evidence to suggest anything. Sawtooth has already had a theory that the sisters were just unicorns when the tribes we divided and that Starwirl noticed that they had amazing powers, made then alicorns and that’s pretty much all we know

@Sawtooth Waves your right they do age differently and Cadence was a alicorn even back when she baby sat Twilight. But Twilight was still a filly and Cadence didn’t look too much older in those flashbacks from ‘a canterlot wedding’ Cadence definitely was older but she only looked like she was around inner early teenage years

@Sawtooth Waves yeah but allsou its like 1000 years since heart warming to modern days and that too much time to she no change at all (definetly in way how she changet betwen Twitlite fili and 2 Seazon) out of that where will be that kingdom?<br>ps sorry for my english.

@Rainbow Cookie A month is not 30 moons, a moon is a month or a week I don’t know which one

I always wonder what is a year in equestria i am sure its not the same as here on earth and when Luna and Celestia run the cycle it gets more confused
Can alicorns age?
Isnt it just time is slower and ponies can be 1000y old
All i know a month is 30 moons but how long is a day i need to know

@Optimus prime polska  no hate but you spelt some words wrong

@Bad content :) Cadences wings did change.in the passed she had Pegasus wings.In the future she has alicorn wings.Chrysalis is also a pegicorn.

@Bad content :) A pegicorn is a Pegasus that became an alicorn.

But we can keep a track basin' on Twilight's growth

Also I think Cadence is a pegicorn based on what cadences wings looked like in the passed<br>and because of the book

Also I think Cadence is a pegicorn based on what cadences wings looked like in the passed
and because of the book

@Reagan Thai (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 and takes revenge. : )

@Sawtooth Waves could you please do princess celestia and princess luna past? We know little to nothing about their past the show never even did a in depth story of their background.

keep in mind cadance has been an alicorn and they age differently.


Pricess Kadens<br>Is that  pony in the story

Pricess Kadens
Is that  pony in the story


I think the kingdom she ruled before WAS the crystal empire and once princess celestia helped her and took over. in the crystal empire episode when cadance came with the crystal heart a stallion yelled "here comes the crystal princess"

His theory makes sooo.. much sence


For the ponies arguing in twilight's flashback, do we know for sure they were in a relationship. They could have just been friends, or even worse, siblings.


I am new to ur channel but I luv ur content and ur editing skills.
Keep it up, ill be here daily, and sometimes ill give u my take on a specific MLP theory.
Good Luck


We're just going to ignore the fact that cadence and shining armor probably broke their backs because of their live spell thing that stopped chrysalis


I'm not sure if comics are considered official. But there are comics with Cadence's backstory! It goes into how cadence and shining armor fell in love. There's a rich snooty guy that likes her, she doesn't like him.  They're all at some sort of dance, and shining armor and cadence kiss towards the end, with a heart forming above their horns! Just thought I'd bring that up.


If you actually think about it more the crystal empire fell into sambras control. So if it was cadence in the story then that would have been the emire to fall due to lack of work. Would also explain why their is a crystal heart on cutie mark since it was her empire in the first place


“All but ignored” means they did everything but ignore something. The saying is “straight-up ignored”.


This is like super late 😅 but I was rewatching this video while watching the Canterlot wedding where we meet Queen Crysallis. What if the princess in the hearts and hooves story isn’t related to Cadence at all? What if it’s Crysallis? And the way she is now is the aftermath of the love potion? Idk 🤷♀ just a thought, probably doesn’t add up though.


I think cadence is the daughter of the the two ponies that fell in love a long time ago and then got her powers from the potion but she didn't know what the  spell would do if she used it thats why she used it and celestia found her as a baby so she gave her to a family that wanted to have a kid because she is to young to be in love with the prince

@idk The prince does have bangs he could be hiding his horn under his bangs. But he might have used a potion because the potion is stronger

@Miniş Dünyası i don't think cadence is born an alicorn because celestia and luna said that flurry heart was the first natural born alicorn

@Miniş Dünyası but the prince doesn't have a horn in the book if he did he would not need a potion to make the alicorn princess fall in love with him.

If Cadence’s Mother is an Alicorn, That would explain how Cadence became an Alicorn. Cadence’s might have been born as an Alicorn if she had an Alicorn Mother like Flurry Heart. And Cadence’s Father might’ve been King Sombra! Sombra might’ve wanted to rule and when he was ruling beside Cadence’s Mother King Sombra might’ve gotten rid of Cadence’s Mother (Maybe banished her, imprisoned her possibly even killed her, since that’s the most permanent solution)

:o thats a god possibikty! It would also make the "a long time ago" make a little more sense


What if those ponies were her parents or grand parents. When Sombra took over the crystal kingdom, it sounded like he did it very easily, maybe Cadence was always destined to be the ruler of the crystal kingdom


I think cadence is the heart queen because, each pony has thier own element and I think cadance is the smallest between Celestia,Luna and Cadance


I do remember seing somewhere, that cadence use to be a pegasus, that earned her horn though something, thus becoming an alacorn princess<br>, kinda like how twilight earned her wings, but the opposite.

, kinda like how twilight earned her wings, but the opposite.


I’m thinking cadence is their daughter. Maybe the love potion was so strong it’s powers went to their daughter. And she had to see her mom and dad be in “love” but she knew some how they were actually in love. Or when the potion power was given to cadence her parents love spell broke and she saw what really happened


Omg I’ve been waiting for cadence’s backstory theory for a while!


Or another theory, she's their daughter and she got her powers due to the potion's influence, then as a child she saw that the spell was broken and that her parents don't actually live each other so she was using her magic to make people, especially the ones she saw had "problems" fall in love because she assumed they would be happy then. Only later Celestia told her about the side effects of the potion and how their kingdom fell and taught Cadence about true love.


Cadance can't be the Princess from the Book.
In a Flashback in "A Canterlot Wedding Part 1", where Cadance was a Foalsitter, she was small an Twilight was a Foal smaller then the CMC (around 15 years before the Show), so Cadance is just a few Years older as Twilight (maybe she is 23-25 in the show, Twilight around 19).
Faust has say, she just planed to have Celestia and Luna as only Alicorns in the Show and Cadance was not planed as Alicorn.
Theres no Past of her, because Cadance is just an Side Character and the Creators of the Figure never have develop a BG for her (most of the Char was made after Faust has leave the Team).
I like your Videos, but maybe you should look more on Facts, instead of Speculations and the Facts say, theres not a detailed BG for every Char in the Show.
The Creators of the Show have left many Things unexplained, without an Answer.
So all is possible, until Hasbro decide to publish an official Book with complete Bios to all Figures.


I think maybe Cadence wasn't the unicorn princess, but the child of the two who were under the spell of the lovepotion, and that it's power passed on to her.


I thought they were her parents or grandparents because that would explain why she is a alicorn and why her daughter was born one, because she could have been born one, and it could be genetics that her daughter was also born one.

Also the holiday seems pretty old and cadence doesn't seem that old she was only a young pony when she babysat Twilight.

Everyone: Well, well, well, time to find out!

Everyone: *Well, well, well, time to find out!*


i think you are right. cadance was a princess of a different empire but saved and rehabilitated by celestia. now princess cadance can now be able to lead another empire.


Luna is also pretty interesting in her past


But how did she even become an allicorn? Cuss when flurry heart was born Celestia and Luna said it was the first born allicorn they have ever seen. So how did cadence earn her wings or horn??


Maybe Cadence was the hearts and hooves day alicorn's daughter, her magic was changed by the love potion that her parents were affected by?


Woooo! Was hoping you'd finally do this one! Btw, what do you think of the new G5 looks?


Did anyone else notice the one random poney in the crystal empire say “the crystal princess.” Also cadence’s cuitie mark looks looks like the crystal heart.


I think that the old crystal empire princess was the one who had been in love and didn’t put her kingdom in order, that’s how sombra took over then led the two sisters turned him to shadow. Then cadence was her daughter(MABYE) and that’s how she managed to get that spell because the first crystal empire princess might’ve given birth to her while she was under the spell? That’s what I suppose


I was thinking that cadence could’ve been the child of the two ponies and the potion could’ve affected her at birth giving her the magic of love or something like that


Honestly it makes sense HER kingdom fell and she rules the crystal empire. then the evil king came and all.. i also think the changeling queen is someone that was jealous of cadence. or the changeling queen is the victim of the love potion and when celestia took them apart she grew angry and started to feed of love.. Also if you did'int see when big mac & Cheer-lie had the potion there eyes turned pink for 1 second same thing when cadence hugged prince charming and the flew then there eyes turned pink for a second oddly similar.. I don't know but the thing i'm sticking on to is that cadence was born an alicorn but her parents never told her then the prince gave the potion to cadence and spread love until she found a spell  and the first people to use the magic went psycho and celestia had to separate them in the jails below that the changeling queen said everyone forgot about but on day the girl escaped and found out the prince was dead so she wanted to get revenge and turned into the changeling queen and fed of of love.


This makes me look at cadence in a whole new EVERYTHING


Theory time... Cadence looks really young to be that princess because it was from so long ago unless... She's using a spell too make herself look younger so no one knows unless Celestia and Luna know...


I think cadence is the great granddaughter of the Alison it was used on because she looks teenage when babysitting compared to today


Does anyone know the background music at 4:18? It's beautiful


Your theory is cool, but Cadence was born a pegasus turn alicorn compared to Twilight being a born unicorn. If anything, whenever drama happened that made Cadence the adopted niece to Celestia and Luna, that event would've gifted her alicorn status so people would know she is genuine royalty now.


I always thought that Cadence was related to the ponies in the spell. Them being ancestors of her


Perdón por el español en este canal. Pero según el libro canon de Twilight y el corazón de cristal se dice que Candace era una pequeña pegaso huérfana, fue adoptada por unos campesinos, se dice que consiguió su cuerno porque reformó a una bruja malvada, Celestia apareció y le dió un cuerno, es en ese momento donde Celestia la adoptó como su sobrina<br>PD : De sus padres no se dice nada en el libro, pero bueno, por algo existen las teorías.

Look at Cadences's hindlegs in the flash backs. They are shorter, I think she'll a teenager in that flashback. It only takes half a lifetime for an albacore to become fully grown, she must be younger than that.


I think that the theory between Cadance being the lost alicorn princess could be true, well, since, Celestia is Cadance’s adoptive aunt.

I think that the theory between Cadance being the lost alicorn princess could be true, well, since, Celestia *is* Cadance’s *adoptive* aunt.


Here is my theory:

The two ponies were Cadance´s parents, and the "fallen" kingdom was the Crystal Empire. Cadance was probably the result of the love potion, and thats why she has similiar powers. "the kingdom falling" was possibly Sombra taking over, because the princess was too "busy" to do her royal duties. Its only my theory tho.

@Quinn Russ She said though.. even you said what she said..

@Tangle HamainWell, she didn't say, so we don't know. Probably Sawtooth would have

@Quinn Russ Ummm idk about that I mean, shes (was) the frickin ruler of Equestria. If there was a ony that was born an Alicorn before, she wouldve known about it-

@Tangle Hamain "The birth of an alicorn is something EQUESTRIA has never seen before." - Celestia<br>It still could be a possibility though 🤔

@Tangle Hamain "The birth of an alicorn is something EQUESTRIA has never seen before." - Celestia
It still could be a possibility though 🤔

This is how I think it would have gone, I stated my reasons in a previous comment which I accidently deleted. But I'll throw in the important stuff here. I think that Cadence was the daughter of the alicorn in the Hearts and Hooves day story (I think Isolde suits her)
Reason 1. Age. Although like you said the story was vague with the timeline. I'd have to guess that the story but be at least  500 to 1000 years old and although we don't know his age- wait (frantic google searching) As far as I know we don't know his age but I doubt that he is centuries old. Though even if Cadance was Isolde's daughter she would still be 100s of years old but maybe alicorns age slower..? I guess but it's still not solid ground to stand on that would suggest either theories but I still wanted to bring it up.
Reason 2. Storytime. If Cadance was Isolde why and how would she have the same love magic as the prince? Sure you could ague that she learned it or was always fascinated by that branch of magic but I think that's too simple and vague. Soiler. Voldemort from Harry Potter was born out of a love potion a one sided love without 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 love so he was born incapable of loving and turned out to be a heartless killer because of it. Spoiler. Rapunzel from Disney was born after her mother ate a magic flower which gave her magic powers. I think you see where I'm going with this. After Isolde drank the love potion and fell into a false love or as J.K. says, an obsession, she had Cadence who wasn't able to love anyone or if you want to make it more tragic can only love her parents who are to busy being obsessed with each other to care for her. But she can controll other people's love which she does irresponsibly when she's young to try and have some control in her life.
Reason 3. I don't have a reason 3 that I can remember. It's late my brain hurts I've been here for hours send help.
 This took me almost three hours to think of and type out then half of it got deleted so I hope you enjoy.

Isolde was the most beautiful pony in all of Equestria and many a stallion wanted her hoof in marriage. She was a princess and alicorn. She turned them all down. She swore not to fall in love as her mother, Etain, had fallen in an out of love with many different suiters going through much heartbreak. Isolde promised herself that no stallion would ever get the better of her. One day Etain and Isolde went out to the kingdom of Cozbi to secure diplomatic relations. Normally Etain went by herself but aparrently there was a prince Isolde's age and them going could benefit both kingdoms. Isolde agreed- reluctantly as she knew arguing with her mother wouldn't end well. When they arrived they were led into a fancy hall with dim lighting and a single candle lit table with two chairs sat in the centre. 'I don't know what I was expecting' Isolde thought as Etain left. The prince sat at the first of the chairs and smiled at her. It wasn't a creepy smile, Isolde found it charming. She smiled back and started to pull the chair out but the prince got there first. 'Thank you' she said. 'What's your name?' 'Amir.' They chatted, ate, danced and laughed for hours and when Amir said that that night had been a blast and he really enjoyed Isolde's company and if she would be his. When Isolde rejected him saying that she only saw him as a friend. He sighed and said 'I understand but would you atleast have a drink with me? To a good friendship!' He took out a bottle intricately decorated with swirls and hearts and lines that looked like words but must've been in another language as Isolde couldn't read them. He poured them a goblet each and before they drank Isolde repeated 'To a good friendship.' Some time past. Isolde didn't know how much time but she did know that it was time spent with Amir and that's all she needed to know. Before long they got married and had a daughter called Cadence. Cadence was special, she was born without love and therefor she couldn't love. The weird thing about her though is that she could still manipulate the love of others. Though try as she might she could not make her parents love her as she wanted and deserved and the sad thing was they were the only ponies that she seemed to love. Isolde didn't spend much time with Cadence nor pay her much attention. As far as she was concerned the only thing that mattered was Amir and how lucky she was that they met. Soon Celestia heard rumors of a kingdom that falling into ruin as result of neglect from it's rulers. But when she arrived she realised that it was much more serious than negligence. She came into the throne room to see a 7 year-old Cadence trying to catch the attention of her parents as they stared into eachothers eyes, not knowing nor caring that their kingdom was falling into ruin and chaos by their hooves. Celestia recognised the dark magic immediately and tried to pull them apart and save them from the spell but they had been under the curse of forced love for to long and it had become unbreakable. With a heavy heart Celestia turned her back on the false couple and took little Cadence under her wing and back to Canterlot where with many trials and tribulations she managed to cure Cadance from her curse too.

As for the townsponies of Cozbi, Celestia sent them to the up and coming town of Mainhattan.
I also think it would be cool for Flurry Heart to go back to see her grandparents and break the curse. I can imagine Cadence forbidding her from going but that not stopping anyway and then after they have a mother-daughter moment that super sweet and nice and stuff.
This is my theory :) It's a little longer sorry.

@Tangle Hamain I didnt see that in any episode i mixed theory's.And Chrysalis and Nightmare moon are the only villians not introduced by celestia probably cause they include bad memorys

@Tophs Right Foot Which episode do you see this??

@Tangle Hamain She was born as a pegasus

@Tangle Hamain Cause this is what Chrysalis used to be

@Tophs Right Foot Why would Chrysalis be on the good side? O.o

@Daniela Bohunická Hmmmmm, I mean maybe then.. I just dont think its Cadence but again my opinion can be wrong <del>w</del>

@Daniela Bohunická Hmmmmm, I mean maybe then.. I just dont think its Cadence but again my opinion can be wrong -w-

I also think cadence is a pegicorn and  dont think sombra took over the crystal empire and was the rightful ruler of the empire.

(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 and takes revenge. : )

@Tangle Hamain I dont think that was ever mentioned in the show, all that was said was that a pony was never born an alicorn straight away, (before flurry of course)

@Daniela Bohunická Yeah, Cadence WAS a pegasus but the an alicorn giving birth was never a thing until Cadence birthed Flurry, thats what I meant- (at least I think so-)

@Daniela Bohunická Maybe she was born pegasus but had love power in her, we know every tipe of pony (earth ponies, pegasus and unicorns) have magic, maybe with that magic in herself she solved some problem as kid and then become alicorn, so she can use love magic like unicorn. For example, mane six have friendship magic in themselves, but they can use it just together, usually through Twilight.

@Tangle Hamain Hm..maybe she wasn´t born an alicorn? I have heard some things about her being a pegasus before.

Cant be cus the birth from an alicorn was never a thing until Flurry Heart came along- So Cadence was not the daughter of the Alicorn in the book, pretty sure its Cadence herself-


ok so i worked on this theory, I think its their daughter. they were under the love spell, they had a daughter, love spell powers given to daughter, love spell broke, cadence left alone in the forest, kingdom fell apart, (pretty sure her mother was the ruler of crystal empire) and raised by two pegasi, has the same powers blah blah and here's what she is now


I have a theory on the Magic of Friendship: What if we don't have all the elements, there might be more to what we now, and I just looked a Twilight's cutiemark, like the big pink star has sig points, just like has it started with six elements. But there's still five other stars on her cutiemark, what if those are the five missing elements. Like Sunset Shimer and Starlight Glimer. Let me explain. When we meet Sunset Shimer, and she bullied Twilight for the two days she was there in the first movie. But at the end, Twilight still forgave Sunset and became her friend, so I think Sunset is the element of forgiveness. And Starlight Glimer, in the episode we meet her in she was jealous, and wanted control of the town, and took all the ponys cutiemarks but didn't take her's. She kept hers and controlled the town. But Twilight also became her friend, and I think the Starlight is the element of jealousy, because friend can still be jealous of others but move past it.


I don't think that the princess form that tale of a potion was cadence as it is depicted to be an older alicorn while during a flashback to when she was Twilight's foal sitter we see that cadence is still pretty young but I think it's possible that she is the daughter wich may explain how she can do the magic spell similar to the potion


I always wondered where those stories that appeared in the books, throughout the series, were based. Cause something like this happens with the G5 that it is likely that the G4 has only been a story.


I think it was her parents but the potion didnt just affect her mom but also her because she could have gained the love potions effects to use the powers of it as her own and she probley didnt know about it until later or never found out who her parents are because of the potion and celestia took her in


When Flory Heart was born princes Celestia said there are no ponies she had seen born directly as an alacorn it requires a spell to do so


Ok so if we think about this the princesses don’t just learn this Magic, it’s special that’s what makes them magical it’s that no one else can do what they can do. So are we thinking that after the potion wore off that it effected her in a different way giving her these powers and that’s how she got her cutie mark, so that is how she knew she was supposed to use love in a good way, but sometimes when she was younger like we she was babysitting twilight that she got flashbacks and she didn’t want to see people foghting and instead being in love , or maybe deep down the potion still sometimes effects her. Ok I’m done, I hope you read this


Well, we do know a lot about Cadance's past, making thus theory/hypothesis out of hand.


So Cadence had her Cutie Mark at the time she was shown as Twilight's foalsitter. Wild theory here, but I'm going to add on to your theory Sawtooth: What if Cadence was the Alicorn in the book and the Prince was none other than Sombra, and the kingdom that fell into ruin because of the spell was the Crystal Empire. AND that Sombra's rage and grief at the actions of Celestia, like you suggested Sawtooth, are the reason he turned to darkness, and thus is the reason the Crystal Empire disappeared in the first place.

But that would make the fall of the empire recent enough for people to know about it and it’s existence before it was wiped from the history books. Twilight had never once heard of it. Ever. If cadence had been the one running the empire, she probably would’ve been an older pony by the time she started taking care of twilight… would she have even taken care of twilight in the first place if she was that old?

WAIT UR ONTO SOMETHING- I love ur theory


Ok so i finally figured it out so cadence and the prince fell in love. The prince was the ruler of the crystal empire. This is how king sombra took over the crystal empire. Celestia and luna released the prince and cadence from the love spell and defeated sombra.<br>Let me know what u think

Let me know what u think


That explains how sombra was able to take over the crystal empire fell so easily


I actually think that princess is the mother of cadence..And sense she was created with a love potion, that's why it's her ability :3


The only thing that I don't get is in the love story the princess was older, and when Cadens makes the love spell she was very young but I LOVE YOUR VIDEO


I have a theory on Queen Chrysalis and that is that some time in the future, thorax and his new colony might be dying out (since only she can create new changlings) so theyll reach out to cadence and flurry heart (if they really represent motherhood relationships) and theyll free chrysalis. If she was their mother as well itd only make sense that people who understand those bonds would be able to repair her


I have a question.. it is said that dragons grow on greed and spike is small because he is not greedy but in the future we see spike is BIG so is...Spike greedy in the future.. I hope you make a video on this

Or it was an assumption since ponies didn't know a lot about dragons. But, I think he just one case out of all the other cases.


It could have been where there used to be many alicorns but since of an alicorn falling under that big of a spell clestea could have took control and pretended that it never Happened and that’s why Celestia said that a birth of an alicorn they have never seen and cadence could of been to young to remember her mother.


Sawtooth maybe love is the reason why the crystal empire was abandoned for a very long time and the ponies picture of hearts and hoofs day are cadences parents when she grew she ruled the crystal empire and flurry followed her hoofsteps thats what i think


so if that was her maybe it kind of explains why flurry heart is an Alicorn baby maybe... or the ruler of the changelings just got married to Fury's dad shes an chrysalis is an Alicorn so maybe this sounds weird though it's just a guess or hypothesis😁


My theory; <br>Candence is the daughter of the ponies in the book, which is how she can do the spell. Her parents ruled over the crystal empire, but when king sombra attacked they sacrificed them selves so their daughter could escape. Their daughter (who was a toddler at this time) was found near the woods. The girl was an allicorn so she was taken to the royal Sisters. The sisters reconizied the girl and took her in. When the crystal empire was brought back candence (and shining armor who she had met while she was with the sisters) was sent back to fulfill her desting.

@Quitted I know, I was thinking maybe she earned it before sombra maybe creating the crystal heart or something. But I do still think she is their kid, she was just born a pegasus

Cadence was born a peagus and she gained her horn to be a Princess.


Hadn’t princess celestia called cadence her niece in the episode in which it’s cadences wedding to shinning armour ?


She totally is that allacorn from hearts n hooves day with a good explanation like that she is.


Who tf called her a mary sue I generally wanna know, so many fandoms consider many characters mary sues without considering what they've truly been through. For example the Wings of Fire fans consider Moonwatcher a mary sue because she has all the lost powers of her tribe. However she can't control these powers and often wished to get rid of them due to severe headaches and nightmares caused by them. We don't know much about Cadence, so if someone out there calls her a mary sue i'm gonna get my debate voice ready.


The reason we don’t know anything about Cadence is she was made specifically to sell toys.

I mean, that’s literally the entire show’s purpose… I don’t know where I was going with this joke.


In the My Little Pony comics I remember there being mentions of 'the crystal princess' and there seemed to be a lot of lore that surrounded the Crystal Empire and Cadance. It's been a while since I've read them, but it could be something worth looking into.


Thought I don't think the mlp staff did this on purpose, I do support this theory.<br>Especially sinse Cadance had a fallen kingdom out of no where to deal with wich was the cristal impire.

Especially sinse Cadance had a fallen kingdom out of no where to deal with wich was the cristal impire.


Just imagine if the 2 ponys are siblings or relatives


I think Candance IS that princess, and after affected by the potion, she gots the power of love, and later, she has been Twilight's babysitter and later again, she didcovered the true love whith shining armor!


Cadence is my favorite pony and princess. She always has been and always will be. No matter what.


Nawww then it's sooo wonderful that she got her Happy End 🥺


3:43 this is a morbid idea.  But the spells broken after a hour of the two not looking at each other.  So what if the prince.... Died? From any cause That could technically break the spell...


I don’t know if this helps with any conclusions or anything but I have found out that candence is the niece of Luba and celestia so that means they must have a brother


And then we learn that cadence was a Pegasus.


I have a theory, what if the two ponies in the story where Candice’s parents and how the potion was transferred by birth to Candice as her magic, and she was born unicorn, Like stated they where so distracted with each others eyes they let their kingdom crash before them and so on, maybe during the exact time it was falling apart Candice was born and watched it all fall. Over time she was ignored by her parents and left alone and neglected young, but Celestia came and rescued her and gave her the wings as a gift (idk) and gave her a new life and let her baby sit as a job.<br>Over time while she got older, since she was born in the kingdom before it fell, she was still a princess so she took on the roll and found love.

Idk that’s just what I think, I don’t watch much mlp but watching this made me think 👀


Maybe cadence makes pony’s stop a arguing and come to a compromise while still loving them


I just needed to know if she always had wings. Thanks.


me: watches video
me : starts forming a theory
also me: reads comments


The old memories of me being a filly and when cadence was babysitting me.

@Aisha Mohamed I wish to but you gotta find out yourself :) lots of friendship twilight sparkle


yeah no but she was pretty young when she did the spell on the couple. She was just a bit higher than twilight at the time and the love potion happened a long time a go so it could be her relative in the past plus she already had her cutie mark at the time.


probably you gotta think cadence kingdom was fallen but that was by king Sombra so i think I'm going to agree with the theory that cadence could be the princess in the story cause princess cadence has her own kingdom and that could be the kingdom in the story of hearts and hooves day and since princess cadence name is princess of love she probably could have had the spell even before the prince gave her the potion. but heres my question if cadence had the love spell before the prince  why did she drink the love potion?


Could the alicorn in the story be Queen Chrysalis? Since chrysalis does have wing and a horn (Well sort of). And because of the tale she didn't believe in love and friendship and just fed on it?


Strange… I never knew her past I never thought of her past tho


Isn’t it weird that human Twilight when she goes trough the portal, she becomes a unicorn, although when she “ponys up” she has alicorn horns? Weird?

@Yay Yay I Just Said Something Funny I Never Wanted To Start A Debate. I Don’t Recall Stating A Theory

@Yay Yay I Didn’t Ask, So You’re saying if Twilight Wasn’t Ponied Up She Would’ve Came Back As An Unicorn? Plus That Was Meant To Be A Humorous Comment.

@iCrEaM ! Twilight wasn't ponied up when she went through the portal.

In Equestria girls everyone is in High School while the protagonists seem to be young adults in pony world, the CMC are in highschool even though they are only preteens in human world. That world doesn't make sense

My headcanon is that the characters' "ponying up" is tied to their connections with their other selves in Equestria (hence why it got turned off immediately after the portal was closed in the first film), so Sci-Twi has wings despite being a unicorn due to her connecting with FiM Twilight at the time.

Because pony Twilight and human Twilight aren't same person, they are not connected it that way if something happend to one, this happened to the other one...

Well so did sunset shimmer I think. It probably had something to do with twilight’s crown.


If you think about this and the long time ago part, Twilights brother isn't that old! It wouldn't make sense for it to be "A long time ago" if he isn't very old. Yes, Cadance could be in that story with another man, but wouldn't she want to love just that man forever? Even after he died??<br>(Just my thoughts though, i still think its a good theory)

I think they were her relatives instead
The time she used thatvshe was young
I don't think the prince could have been a foal who wanted to make the princess in love with him
They are two adults in the picture and it just seems weird that a prince, who is a kid would be obsessed with a princess so maybe he and the princess are related to cadence
We don't know much about her orgions or is she born a princess...


I think that when she earned that cutie mark then she had that magic or this could also be true that cadence is their daughter


This still doesn’t explain to me how Cadance’s cutie mark is clearly the crystal heart even though she had nevwr even heard of it until The Crystal Empire. NO ONE know about the crystal heart yet it’s her cutie mark? How?


Cadence used the love spell because she doesn't remembered that she was drinking the love potion, just like bigmac and cheerily


As soon as you said” all this sounds familiar” I just knew that episode I just knew it!!!

@Abhijnan Mukherjee that would be amazing though

@J I wrote that: I thought chrysalis was the alicorn princess in the book but she turned evil: this is because she had the love potion but then Princess celestia had to break the potion's effects and as sawtooth said, she maybe separated the two from each other. Heartbroken, her only aim is to gain as much love as she possibly can and tries to take it from others because she was so distraught

@J I wrote a comment near the top, I will copy paste it

@Abhijnan Mukherjee Why would you think it was chrysalis

Oh, when he said 'all this sounds familiar', i actually thought of chrysalis 😅


Maybe Cadence's backstory is so dark that Hasbro doesn't know how to explain it in a childrens' show without the ratings going up.


I just have a feeling there’s gonna be another princess because if you look at the last season of my little pony well actually episode basically every time there’s always someone that will basically just the princess so I think the person from the last episode will be the next princess


I dont think that cadence was the pony in the hearts and hooves day cause even if celestia did free the two from the love poison then she wouldnt look a bit younger cause in the book the pony is like almost the mane 6’s age and cadence looks a bit younger then them in twilight’s flashback so thats why I think that cadence is the pony in hearts and hooves day


I love how the thumbnail is just a base of Sweetie Belle, Applebloom and Scootaloo from the episode "One bad apple"


Hey I was thinking of a video idea!

Who do you think the elements of Harmony get passed down to? If they even do. Even though the tree got destroyed, it still has a connection with the school 6. Maybe in the future they earn new necklaces? The pillars say that the elements are based off of their traits that got passes down to the mane 6. What if they get passed down every generation? If the school 6 got them, who would get which element?

check out my video "how the tree of harmony died"


Now I have a question about My Little Pony the question is can there be a stallion that can be a prince like it was a unicorn but then it did something extraordinary and earned its wings does that make sense


Please check out the comics, it says a lot of pasts of the ponies ❤🦄🦄


No I have a theory the due to the love potion they got obsessed with each other and then one day they had a kid but the Love potion affected that kids cutie Mark and they were born with one and not to mention they were born as an alicorn due to the mom's genetics which explains how flattery heart was born an alicorn and it explains her cutie mark and her powers


Well I see no other option because that alicorn looks almost egsactly like Caden’s and it it was over 1000 years ago when a alicorn is formed she remains emortal I meal look at celestia she’s the oldest alicorn being over like 100.000 years old so this is completely possible


Gonna have to put a thorn to this theory but the Alicorn in the story looked more like adult cadence and not like filly cadence so its more likely that the alicorn in the story was the FIRST princess of love for crystal empire and when the empire fell sombra took over..  so its more likely cadence was got the power of love either from A) a spell or B) from her cutie mark but thats just a theory! A PONY THEORY! THANKS FOR READING.


I think the Prince in hearts and hooves day gave the potion to the Princess of the Crystal Empire and they had a foal named Cadence she got cutie mark after her crystaling the Prince and Princess in hearts and hoves day did not care about the crystal empire and King Sombra took over and killed the Prince and Princess and Cadence was rescued by the the Royal sisters because she was the last hope of the crystal empire  and later they asked her foal the brightest foal Twilight in the hope she would learn spells and magic from her and become ready to take her royal duties. The Royal sisters then defeatad Sombra <br>After Cadence grew up she fell in love with Shinning Amour and married him and they had a alicorn foal named Flurry Heart

I think the Prince in hearts and hooves day gave the potion to the Princess of the Crystal Empire and they had a foal named Cadence she got cutie mark after her crystaling the Prince and Princess in hearts and hoves day did not care about the crystal empire and King Sombra took over and killed the Prince and Princess and Cadence was rescued by the the Royal sisters because she was the last hope of the crystal empire  and later they asked her foal the brightest foal Twilight in the hope she would learn spells and magic from her and become ready to take her royal duties. The Royal sisters then defeatad Sombra
After Cadence grew up she fell in love with Shinning Amour and married him and they had a alicorn foal named Flurry Heart


I think it was cadance parents affectwd by the potion.as she the queen disregarded the empire due to the potion it was easier for enemies to attack take over and forget crystal empire existed.and cadance is the after math of it all the potion between her parents
We can't tell if the father was a Pegasus


Cadence could not be the same princess. While she was babysitting twilight, she did NOT have wings! Yes, she was a princess, but we do get an example of royalty without being alicorns in the show. Example being the prince that rarity tried to enjoy the grand galloping gala with.


Not gonna lie, when I heard that Cadance was Celestia's niece, I was like 'Luna had a daughter???'


Any subscribers I may or may not have had, I have just lost


No she wasn't her it was her mom and dad because her dad fell in love with her mom and she is the princess's niece so that means her mom was a princess or her dad was a prince and that would tell you why she has the power of love like the magic in the story and the story said the kingdom fell when they fell in love so the christal Napier had no king or queen and her murk has to do with the christal Napier her mom or dad was the prince or princess


maybe cadence is the result of that spell? it would also explain why she has a connection to love magic


It would be even more confusing if that alicorn wasn’t cadence. Because then we would be stuck with the thought that there was another alicorn that just up and vanished


If his theory is true about her being Celestia's niece, then all the princesses are related in a way. Because twilight is Cadance's sister in law


My theory: the victim of the spell was the unknown "Princess Amore" who used to rule the crystal empire.

So if we are considering princess a more as the victim...did kind sombra take over the crystal empire because she was in the love trance and couldn’t stop him...

@Night Star Well, The Comics aren’t 100% canon. And Sawtooth Waves doesn’t make theories about them.

Umm... The comics say that Princess Amore was a unicorn, not an alicorn. Plus, she had curls.

Maybe,the prince and princess were cadence's parents and her mother(the victim princess)was Princess Amore and the fallen empire,actually the crystal empire and when "the empire fell"  was actually sombra taking control of the empire as the Princess Amore was to busy in fake love to do her duties and then Celestia and luna defeated Sombra and celestia took in Cadance while tragically Princess Amore died when Sombra invaded.And as a result of the powers similar to the original potion were passed on down to Cadance!

Princess Amore is from The MLP Comics and MLP Comics Aden 100% canon


When u say kingdom then it could be the people in the book are cadence’s parents they could have teached her about the love spell and left her in charge after they were seperated


Guys do ya'll remember when Celestia and Luna said "I never seen a thing like this before."
When Flurry Heart was born?
And Candance was a pegols (To lazy to check spelling) in the book?
I think it was a different Alicorn, and that was Candance's great great Grandparents.
Plus Celestia and Luna would have already been born to see or hear the birth of Candance.
So no, I don't think that's her Mother. I think it would have been her or her Great Great grandparents or something.
This is my opinion.


Wait..if Caydence is seen as an Alicorn when she babysat Twilight does that mean she became an Alicorn at a very young age or was she born one like Fleury Heart?!


i feel like cadence is the potion victims child and that's why she can do that magic


Why is NO ONE and I mean NO ONE talking about how CUTE the thumbnail is


3:20 - actually I accept it as a coincidence, unless the stallion was the alicorn its not out of the ordinary at al


I think she might have learn to cast a spell of love


i dont think the princess from the story is cadence, she cant be that old considering how much she has grown since babysitting twilight. and she was like a teenager then so i doubt she would have been having a serious relationship and holding her own kingdom before she met twilight. Unless alicorns take extra long to mature into adults too, i doubt shes much older than 40.


An interesting take. She could also be the product of said Love Poison.


I just came up with something that's most likely false and untrue, but fun to think about

What if the stallion is king sombra? Hear me out;
He loved her and casted the spell, not getting what he wanted, that could explain why hes so hungry for the chrystal heart. As for the horn, maybe it was the dark magic? We have only scene dark magic on unicorns, so maybe king sombra's horn is just dark magic, explaining why his horn was so easily cut off on his first appearance (remember the tip of his horn fell off?)

Now this probably isnt even the case, but the whole situation reminds me of ashfur and squirrelflight, especially what's happening in the newest books (props to whom ever also reads warrior cats)


Do you have any idea who the hell is Storm king from the movie?
He might be the character who is not existed in the main story.
(The creators made him just for the movie)
But Tempest was in the 9th season.


What if the kingdom that fell WAS the crystal empire. When the prince gave her the love potion she was unable to protect the crystal empire and king sombra was able to take over.


You missed a part . You didn't tell us how cadence got her horn. She earned her horn by defeating an evil sorceress. After defeating the sorceress she appeared in the same place in which Celestia gave twilight wings. Cadence wasn't a unicorn she was born as a Pegasus. but after defeating the sorceress she got her horn from princess Celestia, and that is how she became an alicorn princess


Who are the original rulers of the crystal empire? Was it Cadence and she was distracted by the love potion that the crystal empire fell. (Although these that whole age thing where she looked real young babysitting twilight) Her power to “recreate” the potion could be like the theory of Luna’s splotch....A “scar” of their past

Or the OG rulers could have been her parents and maybe her mom had ids while she was still under the potion, impacting cadence’s magic


i agree this is quite convincing. my first thought was she was the daughter of these two lovers,?


guys by the way, I don't think Cadence's mother is that alicorn. remember, Cadence is a pegasus originally


If it is cadence and alicorns a belief to be immortal it could have been the stallions death that ultimately separated them


My theory on cadence isn’t really a theory and more like a funny realization. So when there was no Luna, and the crystal empire was still hidden, the only rulers were celestia and cadence. Celestia was probably a busy pony. Running a school and teaching her prized pupil. When celestia was doing all that, she left cadence in charge. We k is this because the Gaurds were used to taking royal orders even when celestia was gone. How many big decisions did cadence have to make? Could this be how she met shining armor? Will this comment get any replies? The world will never know.


I have another Idea what if the prince and the princess in the book was Cadence mother and father and maybe the potion was still in her mother and father which led her having the potion apart of her body and magic. So now her power is love or the love poison.


So sad😭😭😭l love cadence the ending is so dad❤


@Julianne Mina LMAO 🤣 also @Lello Lemon that would make a lot of sense, did you come up with that yourself? It's a really good theory

@Sawtooth Waves
This is how I think it would have gone, I stated my reasons in a previous comment which I accidently deleted. But I'll throw in the important stuff here. I think that Cadence was the daughter of the alicorn in the Hearts and Hooves day story (I think Isolde suits her)
Reason 1. Age. Although like you said the story was vague with the timeline. I'd have to guess that the story but be at least  500 to 1000 years old and although we don't know his age- wait (frantic google searching) As far as I know we don't know his age but I doubt that he is centuries old. Though even if Cadance was Isolde's daughter she would still be 100s of years old but maybe alicorns age slower..? I guess but it's still not solid ground to stand on that would suggest either theories but I still wanted to bring it up.
Reason 2. Storytime. If Cadance was Isolde why and how would she have the same love magic as the prince? Sure you could ague that she learned it or was always fascinated by that branch of magic but I think that's too simple and vague. Soiler. Voldemort from Harry Potter was born out of a love potion a one sided love without 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 love so he was born incapable of loving and turned out to be a heartless killer because of it. Spoiler. Rapunzel from Disney was born after her mother ate a magic flower which gave her magic powers. I think you see where I'm going with this. After Isolde drank the love potion and fell into a false love or as J.K. says, an obsession, she had Cadence who wasn't able to love anyone or if you want to make it more tragic can only love her parents who are to busy being obsessed with each other to care for her. But she can controll other people's love which she does irresponsibly when she's young to try and have some control in her life.
Reason 3. I don't have a reason 3 that I can remember. It's late my brain hurts I've been here for hours send help.
 This took me almost three hours to think of and type out then half of it got deleted so I hope you enjoy.

Isolde was the most beautiful pony in all of Equestria and many a stallion wanted her hoof in marriage. She was a princess and alicorn. She turned them all down. She swore not to fall in love as her mother, Etain, had fallen in an out of love with many different suiters going through much heartbreak. Isolde promised herself that no stallion would ever get the better of her. One day Etain and Isolde went out to the kingdom of Cozbi to secure diplomatic relations. Normally Etain went by herself but aparrently there was a prince Isolde's age and them going could benefit both kingdoms. Isolde agreed- reluctantly as she knew arguing with her mother wouldn't end well. When they arrived they were led into a fancy hall with dim lighting and a single candle lit table with two chairs sat in the centre. 'I don't know what I was expecting' Isolde thought as Etain left. The prince sat at the first of the chairs and smiled at her. It wasn't a creepy smile, Isolde found it charming. She smiled back and started to pull the chair out but the prince got there first. 'Thank you' she said. 'What's your name?' 'Amir.' They chatted, ate, danced and laughed for hours and when Amir said that that night had been a blast and he really enjoyed Isolde's company and if she would be his. When Isolde rejected him saying that she only saw him as a friend. He sighed and said 'I understand but would you atleast have a drink with me? To a good friendship!' He took out a bottle intricately decorated with swirls and hearts and lines that looked like words but must've been in another language as Isolde couldn't read them. He poured them a goblet each and before they drank Isolde repeated 'To a good friendship.' Some time past. Isolde didn't know how much time but she did know that it was time spent with Amir and that's all she needed to know. Before long they got married and had a daughter called Cadence. Cadence was special, she was born without love and therefor she couldn't love. The weird thing about her though is that she could still manipulate the love of others. Though try as she might she could not make her parents love her as she wanted and deserved and the sad thing was they were the only ponies that she seemed to love. Isolde didn't spend much time with Cadence nor pay her much attention. As far as she was concerned the only thing that mattered was Amir and how lucky she was that they met. Soon Celestia heard rumors of a kingdom that falling into ruin as result of neglect from it's rulers. But when she arrived she realised that it was much more serious than negligence. She came into the throne room to see a 7 year-old Cadence trying to catch the attention of her parents as they stared into eachothers eyes, not knowing nor caring that their kingdom was falling into ruin and chaos by their hooves. Celestia recognised the dark magic immediately and tried to pull them apart and save them from the spell but they had been under the curse of forced love for to long and it had become unbreakable. With a heavy heart Celestia turned her back on the false couple and took little Cadence under her wing and back to Canterlot where with many trials and tribulations she managed to cure Cadance from her curse too.

As for the townsponies of Cozbi, Celestia sent them to the up and coming town of Mainhattan.
I also think it would be cool for Flurry Heart to go back to see her grandparents and break the curse. I can imagine Cadence forbidding her from going but that not stopping anyway and then after they have a mother-daughter moment that super sweet and nice and stuff.

Sorry for replying so out-of-contexty but I really wanted you to see it. I hope you liked it and didn't mind the length to much I tend to get a little carried away sometimes.

Since the reign of the Kedan Crystal Empire, its wings have become two-colored.


What about the comic with her and shining armor in high school, or are the comics not cannon. Even if they aren’t cannon it’s still an interesting story about cadence.


If cadence is celestas niece then dose that make Luna her mom or did they have another offscreen sibling, or maybe she’s an adopted niece? Idk but it would be a good theory.


she looks like she's around her teens in the love spell clip, and both ponies in the story look much older than her.


Least no one commented ( <b>f i r s t</b> )


Even if they were her parents how could potions tern into spells


What about the Crystal Empire and Sombra? Maybe Cadence was the ruler of the Crystal Empire and Tried a love potion on her to gain the empire


It might be that they are cadences mom and dad and cadences parents split up and her dad and mom where not in her life for long and when she was younger she thought she could stop it from happening to anyone else by making everyone in love with each other and stoping fights. Idk just my thoughts :)<br>Edit:spelling

It might be that they are cadences mom and dad and cadences parents split up and her dad and mom where not in her life for long and when she was younger she thought she could stop it from happening to anyone else by making everyone in love with each other and stoping fights. Idk just my thoughts :)
Edit:spelling


another theory -  her parents were the ponies in the story, and because she was possibly concieved because of that spell, her magic is associated with the magic of the potion.


Didn't at some point in there they say"the crystal princess has returned!" I vaguely remember that for some reason

@Reese I find the fact that they instantly know who she is interesting. That's the gist of what I was saying.

No, the crystal ponies said, “Behold! The Crystal Princess!”


I think it might be crystalist because she also has a horn and wings as well it could be her because she got her heart broken at one point by discord


I don't think that The alcorn under the love spell is cadence I think that they related to cadence And that's how she has love magic but it's away she wasn't always in the cord if you watch the full series and you would have known that she was turning into an alcorn


I think that those two ponies in the story are her parents and with the love potion they had a kid and the spell mixed with Cadences magic


I kinda think that the princess and stallion might be Cadences parents. Maybe the princess was pregnant and gave birth to cadence while the love potion was still having affect. Therefore since love potion must’ve affected the baby/ cadence during the pregnancy, causing Cadence to have her magic. Also, in Twilights childhood memories, Cadence seems too young to rule a kingdom.Tho I’m not sure entirely what the customs are in the mlp world. I think Celestia might of took in young Cadence in and raise her after Sombras defeat while her parents where no where to be found? Idk, just an idea


When you were talking about how similar the 2 seemed I thought you were going to say that Alicorn was her ancestor, if that were true then it would admittedly make more sense with the timeline, because Cadence is depicted at a young age in the flashback, so how does she suddenly go from Full grow mare to Young Foal if she was the victim if that spell? It just doesn't work, which why I think the victim of that love spell might have been her ancestor, it's not perfect obviously, but I think it answers more questions than it raises.


I think you need to do some research on the Crystal empire because it may be related to the story of “Where did Cadance come from?”


But what if twilight's memory of cadence is distorted? since, twilight was a little girl at the time and usually adults tend to remember things differently than when they were kids


I think that princess cadence doesn’t want to show the way that she feels in real pony life so we had to try to see what the mystery is behind princess cadence


i think the magic that cadence used is not what u think it was .... i think, when she did the spell, she did that to make those couple calm and maybe she did that to make them calm and so they could fix their problem in a calm and better way.....


Maybe it was her mom that was the mystery Alicorn and celestia saved her and she inherited the potion


flowing hair she was a cutie pie, meaty face and a lovely eye


You forgot one thing. What about king Sombra and his takeover of the crystal empire? How is he connected?


Great job with this video. I love backstories and this theory is very interesting. Keep up the good work. Long live princess Cadance.👸♥🦄👍


what if the prince from the love potion story was King Sombra since he and Cadance are connected to the Crystal Empire they might have been ruling it and that's how the Crystal Empire fell and then Celestia saves Cadance and Sombra saw that Celestia took away his love since in the story the prince loved the princess and then he went to get revenge and found a dark magic book which we could possibly connect to shadow pony but anyway he would get a fake horn made of dark magic which could explain why it looks different like it's fake and try to grow an army to attack Celestia.


Interesting Theory <br>Though I thought of something else Maybe the ponies in hearts&Hoves day are her parents?

Interesting Theory
Though I thought of something else Maybe the ponies in hearts&Hoves day are her parents?


... hMMMmM. It must have been the book.    Somehow,  the book must have told the future.  But how?  Who was it?  Maybe the person who wrote was one of the greatest pony’s of all, Celestia.  But seriously.  How did she find that spell?   Ya know,  that future spell?  Maybe,  she knew it herself and wrote it.  That prince, He looked a lot like shining armor. Shining armor must have saw the cutie crusaders and thought he might take the book.  He took the book and started making it,  and gave it to Cadence.  But he never knew that cadence was already in love with shining!   So,  when the spell wore off,  cadence told shining her feeling,  and then they got married?  Maybe that was what happened.


Her kingdom fell and Sombra saw his chance!


Could sombra have been the prince could the crystal empire have been her kingdom <br>Maybe after she was saved her turned evil

Could sombra have been the prince could the crystal empire have been her kingdom
Maybe after she was saved her turned evil


What about Princess Amore? A past ruler of the crystal empire..? I mean if u look it up they have similarities in looks and name. Also Princess Amore ruled like Cadence, just saying.🤔
