Have you ever heard of a land full of dangerous creatures and colorful ponies? Whether you have or not, this land is called Equestria, and it holds quite a few heroes. According to many definitions, a hero is someone who is selfless and will risk their life to save others'. Twilight Sparkle is just that kind of hero. Her five best friends, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy, taught Twilight how to be honest, loyal, generous, fun, and kind. But the most memorable character traits of this purple alicorn are her bravery, determination, and leadership.

Twilight Sparkle exhibited bravery when she defeated Nightmare Moon. With Princess Celestia gone, there wasn't anypony powerful enough to defeat the evil alicorn. But Twilight knew that there had to be a way to defeat her. Having read about some mysterious objects titled 'The Elements of Harmony', her friends and her traveled into the Everfree Forest to find them. Upon arriving at the Castle of the Two Sisters, where the Elements of Harmony were kept, Nightmare Moon appeared and shattered the gemstones into millions of pieces. But Twilight wouldn't give up. With the magic her friends had taught her, she reunited the Elements of Harmony and used the powerful magic to defeat Nightmare Moon.

Twilight also displayed determination when she was battling Discord. The evil draconequus had turned Twilight's friends' personalities around, making them rude, mean, and terribly awful. She came so close to giving up when Discord then turned her personality around as well, but determined Twilight was able to break his spell. She restored her friend's personalities, stated that "friendship isn't always easy, but there's no doubt it's worth fighting for", and used the Elements of Harmony once again to defeat Discord and restore harmony throughout the land.

Lastly, Twilight showed leadership when she accidentally cast a spell that switched her friends' cutie marks, thus switching their destinies. Animal caretaker Fluttershy became destined to be a party planner, farm pony Applejack become destined to be a seamstress, weather pony Rainbow Dash an animal caretaker, seamstress Rarity a weather pony, and party planner Pinkie Pie became destined to be a farm pony. Her friends' new lives were miserable, and she knew she had to fix this. Her great leadership lead her to remind her friends of what they can really do, and using the Elements of Harmony, she was able to return her friends back to their original cutie marks and destinies. Twilight then fixed the terrible spell, and when she did, her own destiny came to life, and she soon grew wings to accompany her horn, making her an alicorn, and therefore, a princess.

Twilight Sparkle is my hero because of all the wonderful things she's done. Even though her bravery, determination, and leadership are what stand out, she is also a wonderful and caring friend. She is always there to help the ponies of Equestria, no matter how big or small the challenge. And that is what makes her a true princess.
