Cadance's Backstory is CRAZY

[@EteamProductions]

09:30 Maybe Celestia thought "Huh this pegasus who defeated a sorcerer has the cutie mark of the most powerful artifact of a disappeared kingdom that may come back. Maybe I should raise her to rule that kingdom just in case"

[@namikkou]

Celestial was probably so surprised lol, “Well this might as well happen”

[@PissyLissy]

That’s always been my headcanon as well. She realized Cadance’s cutiemark meant her destiny was related to the Crystal Empire, the same way that Twilight’s cutiemark visibly represented the element of Magic surrounded by the other five elements.

[@Sylvia_Rider]

when you were bringing up the Princess Amore reincarnation theory, i'm surprised you didn't bring up what Princess Cadance's canon full name is.

[@thatoneperson-thatyoucantr3652]

Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, or "Cadance", which is such an IMPORTANT FACT TO ADD

[@chiaraleigh977]

I always assumed Cadance would babysit Twilight because she was close to Shining Armor and wanted to get to know his family better (assuming they met and were dating or friends during that time)

[@Whatever-mh5dn]

Maybe Celestia made Cadence babysit foals to give her some experience of being a mother for the future. It is known that Celestia knew Twilight was connected to the Elements of Harmony even before she got her cutie mark.

I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT- I WAS SO CONFUSED 😭😭

[@mstaaby]

same i thought my phone was glitching

[@SilverSpoonRiche]

Well, to be fair, Has Bros had a habbit of creating characters with no backstory and letting us fill in the blanks. My favorite pony Silver Spoon got very little screen time and development beyond following Diamond Tiara around. Cozy Glow however appeared from no where, told us nothing about herself beyond her evil plans, and no pony asks where this kid came from or who her parents are. They just let her hang around until she tired to suck all the magic out of friendship. LOL

[@BrandonHenderson-n8f]

Interesting Point. I can honestly think of no good backstory for Cozy Glow.

[@SilverSpoonRiche]

@@BrandonHenderson-n8f That's a shame. She was a really intriguing character that could have had an interesting story to tell. I have seen many fan theories that were well thought out.

[@kurieita7607]

Time to write some eldritch abomination type backstory now

[@PlayerUzU]

Princess Cadance is probably one of my favorite characters in the show, i really wish that this new comic will answer our questions about her and her backstory, could also be interesting if they made a backstory for other characters as well, Celestia, Luna, Amore, Discord, there are a lot of interesting characters that we NEED more context about.

[@blueeyedsaiyan1132]

Same, Cadence is my personal favorite.

[@PlayerUzU]

@@blueeyedsaiyan1132 From the princess Luna is top 1 for me, Cadie a close second, in general, Cadie is top 5, the fandom helped to solidify that placement ngl, so many top tier fanfics with her.

[@blueeyedsaiyan1132]

@@PlayerUzU i like cadence because she has the potential to be great, not just as a written character but she could potentially be up there with twilight power wise, the only thing that really holds her back is the fact that her powers could be used for... ways that could be seen as manipulative and potentially not very moral friendly... to put it bluntly... if she ever somehow gained her own "nightmare" variant everyone would be extremely screwed.

[@PlayerUzU]

​@@blueeyedsaiyan1132 I know what you mean, and she is indeed about as strong as twilight if not a little bit stronger, a lot of fanfics say the same you are saying, the powers of love can make some really nasty stuff...

[@yalibethlosadacosme6330]

[@tharem9480]

[@RubyShade_artist]

Nah lmao

[@kristynaschonbekova601]

Her story sounds like parallel of Sombra. They found her outside of some town, no parents, important fate,....

[@moonbased7796]

1:59 My guess is that it's likely that Shining Armor (Twilight's older brother) brought Twilight with him sometimes while training for the guard (depending if both of their parents go out for work since it's not far fetched if the guard allowed him to bring her sometimes cause of that) so if that's the case. Maybe Cadence didn't mind taking care of Twilight while Shining Armor was in training.

[@yazzyxoxo]

something you didn't mention that is probably the reason why the "princess Amore is Cadance's ancestor" theory exists, is that in "the siege of the crystal empire" (issue 34-37, i'm specifically talking about issue 36 though) Radiant Hope meets Cadance and LITERALLY TELLS HER "you look a lot like princess Amore, you're related to her, aren't you?" to which Cadance replies that she doesn't know her real family, and that she was an orphan. It isn't explored much but it's a nice insight to the little we know about Cadance and her real backstory.

[@_Samwich_]

Why is hardly anyone mentioning the creepy shots in the video 😭

[@rainbowdreams341]

maybe princess amore and celestia were really close friends that they considered themselves like sisters and that’s why candance is her adoptive niece?

[@BrandonHenderson-n8f]

Celestia never mentioned Amore during the Season 3 premiere. Is it even possible for the comics to be canon to the show?

[@rainbowdreams341]

@ im aware she never mentioned her it’s just a theory. and the comics are semi-canon basically as long as something doesn’t contradict what happens in the show then it can be read as being canon. We’re told their was a queen who ruled the crystal empire and started the crystal fair, this is likely princess amore as this first crystal fair is actually mentioned in “the journal of the two sisters” which was written by someone on the show and is meant to be the book that twilight reads in season 4 of their journal. I believe the journal does contradict some things in the show that happened later when it released but it still mentions amore by name showing she’s probably canon.

[@jharmond3874]

I would a series exporling Cadance. Especially considering her being a Pegasus originally, it would be fascinating to see how she adjusted to having unicorn powers and spell casting. And the idea of her being raised by earth ponies how she delt with learning to fly. Also how does her adoptive parents feel about her becoming a princess? In the comics (right not) we only get teenage cadence who went to highschool in canterlot. The fact that she was younger than twilight when she ascended is fascinating too.

[@jharmond3874]

(headcannon) she was taken in by earth ponies in Vanhoover but then when she ascended, her parents gave Celestia permission to take her under her wing as now she had uncontrollable alicorn magic. Magic expelling from a user who didn't know how to properly control it is very dangerous and Celestias magic school could help with that. While she was there she got the tutoring she needed but didn't get along with her Peers due to them being jealous of her natural magic poweress - being an alicorn. They didn't understand that she had earned that power through her efforts saving others from prisima and her humility. Cadance wanted her normal life back and wanted everypony to treat her like anyone else. So she was transferred to Canterlot public high school were she could start over. However it was hard to hide the fact that she is an alicorn and became very popular because of that. But that hype dyed down within the first month as she wasn't the fresh new trendy gossip anymore. She then started making friends who didn't care about her status - including Shining Armor. From there shed become Twilights foal sitter. And then start dating Shining around when Twilight gets her cutiemark and shining getting into the guard school.

[@christianfillysecretagents4477]

I think you're right, I remember borrowing one of the comic books from the library and her (crushing on not dating shining armor) and the moment she was left alone with twilight sparkle (baby sitting) asking twilight to tell her everything about shining and the two of them making a love/compatibility chart together to find out how that would work out.

[@namikkou]

@@christianfillysecretagents4477that’s adorable lol

[@MrThaiTuber]

I really appreciate you mentioning how it seems Celestia isn't directly responsible for Cadance, or Twilight's, ascension to Alicornhood. It always made sense to me that way when I first saw the episode, and so seeing it so widely accepted in the fandom that Celestia can make Alicorns has always confused me. When I found that book I felt a bit vindicated that it implied Celestia had no control over it. And then there's the comic where Sunset finds Celestia's magic book showing she can create Alicorns, but the comic has always made some wild leaps in logic regarding the show, like making Nightmare Moon a separate being.

[@huskywing]

That's so crazy! you must be so honored that Hasbro included your OC as a major plot point in the show🙏🎉🎉

Not me pressing this video and getting jump scared by my name being said repeatedly even though I clicked on this video knowing that it was about a character with a similar name to mine.

Glad to get all this info on Cadance and her story. I can't wait for the origin comic that will expand on Cadance more. Awesome video!

[@OneGeckoGal]

If she's Celestias adoptive niece, she's likely Luna's adoptive child right? Or some other sister??

[@shamiyahzow8525]

Cadence's full Name is: Mi Amore Cadenza which is Italian for "My Love Cadence." We also get to see How she got the Gradient on her Wings Through Cozy Glow Specifically her Alicorn Filly 2.0 and Her Older Nightmare moon Esque form. Pegasi who Earn or get their horn after Ascending into Alicorn stauts Get The Gradient on their Wings. What's crazy is that some people Belive her to have Been born as a Unicorn Even though the Other Two eventually three Alicorns Don't have That Gradient on their Wings.

[@cayenne_pepper7665]

I haven't watched mlp in years, but your videos are so fun that i cant help but watch them lol

[@superaustin6383]

I keep seeing people point out how we are getting a G4 comic now and it's just Hasbro giving up on G5 but a lot of people don't seem to understand this isn't new. Even after FIM the show ended we were still getting comics with that cast in it even while G5 comics were being made so this isn't new this is just normal. If anything the only odd thing is this Cadince one is using the g5 logo

[@popculturecurious4535]

I do like this headcanon, but it does have a major hole on it: Princess Amore is a unicorn, while Cadence started out a pegasus (before becoming an alicorn). If some of the pieces of Princess Amore were put together, I don't see how it would have resulted in her incarnation randomly changing species like that.

[@robbycooper6787]

2:17 maybe it’s care bear logic where they force you to do child care and it makes no sense because it’s the concept of babies being cute to take care of with no other substance instead of someone’s actual kid

Hey Cxcd. What's with those creepy shots? WHAT'S WITH THEM?!

[@chilljelloton2089]

an adoptive niece could come from having an adoptive brother/sister, but that also makes little sense when applied to celestia. another reason would be a brother/sister adopting a daughter. runs into similar problems the headcanon provided is the reasoning that makes sense as opposed to real-world logic of how youd get a adoptive niece/nephew. maybe there could be other reasons, but those would have to be headcanon as well-unless we get a new g4 lore drop

[@needlebfdia]

i headcannon atleast that twilight sparkles family are very rich and could afford a babysitter such as cadence, and at that point maybe cadence and shining probably knew about eachother.

[@lonelylexi123]

- Celestia adopted both Blueblood and Cadance as a neice/nephew as to not replace their parents as we are never given a backstory on either its simply a respect thing - Twilights family is highly suspect to be some type of nobility due to the pink emblem (the siblings' cm), plus at this point Shining Armor would have either been a guard or guard in training, and if you are to take specfic comics into canon Cadance would of course spend time with her crushes sister to get cloeer to him - Celestia does not choose the elements 😭 this is obvious but also confirmed through the s10 comics that while some tribes know the esscence of the elements they do not always know who is meant to weild them. - I have a very lengthy theory on alicorns and the genetics of ponies that would talk about flurrys birth but ill leave that alone for now. - While the Princess Amore thing is cool and all shes not technically dead meaning a reincarnation is unlikely, similar to the Storm King she was crystalized and shattered and scattered throughout equestria but her actual spiritual self is still in limbo (like the pillars pre s7 finale). While it was stated they COULD put her back together to my knowledge that never happened. It was instead insinuated that Cadance is a distant relative of Amore likely being some form of neice or cousin to her. Also her full name is Princess Mi Amore Cadenza however it is pronounced differently. Not to mention theres *another* comic where Amores pressence still remains under the crystal empire which is where she helped Shining Armor find an old spell of hers. - The Rise of Cadance. Hm. So rumor has it that the story has been partially leaked and it actually follows that really shitty Canterlot plot instead where Cadance is helping Celestia defeat smth. I too hope this is not the outcome but it is something to think about and then try and determine which is supposed to be canon 😭

[@GrimWolf001]

I guess you need you positive reinforcement, so I'm going to say I like this video, is clear on what you intended to do, and the information you provided is clear and accurate and cited your sources. However, and not loose my grim touch, I would like to add something to the conversation. There is one more book that provides interesting context to Cadance backstory: "Princess Cadance and the Spring Hearts Garden". It's not much and we could even say it introduces some contradictions, but it's from the same author as the Crystal Heart Spell so... Maybe G.M. Berrow had the real story about Cadance. In the book we are told a couple that she has visions like Celestia, and she used to live with Celestia and Luna in Canterlot, this detail is interesting since it means despite her young appearance, it means she is at least 1,000 years old. Once again I thank you the effort and dedication you do on your videos.

[@namikkou]

I always loved Cadance because the first episodes I ever watched of MLP was actually a DVD of a Canterlot Wedding and I thought Cadance was pretty lol

[@tofu7269]

Ok but if candence is celestias niece, then that means she has 3rd sibling..? Cause we know Luna isnt her mom. Maybe Amor was Luna and Celestias 3rd sister?

[@rasimbalaska9177]

2:08 didn't twilight get her cutie mark after her entrance exam? She got her cutie mark before she became celestia's personal student

[@Bunnyoflaughs]

I have a hypothesis which is adding to this theory Basically it adds chrysalis to the equation, but what if chrysalis also comes from the shards of amore. Chrysalis looks a lot different from the other changelings, and her and cadance both have themes of love. Perhaps cadance was all of amores love and happiness with her kingdom, while chrysalis was from all her negative emotions like how she was turned into a crystal by sombra. Please someone give this hypothesis more ground!!!

[@nyxstarbright2590]

The head cannon makes a lot of sense considering that she is Princess Mi Amore Cadenza. Also I never really bought the idea that she was originally a Pegasus, as it only makes sense that a Unicorn could ascend as mastering magic would be impossible for other types of ponies, as their destinies would have nothing to do with magic. It is so much easy to master flying, as not all Pegasi have special talents specifically to do with flying but they all still can, even Twilight got it in the end despite how uncoordinated and clutzy she was with it at first.

[@kspann]

i think she was born a pegasus because when she is introduced to us as twilight’s babysitter her wings are not developed like luna’s yet. we see twilight’s wings developed as soon as she gets them. hopefully that made sense
