My Little Pony
Twilight Sparkle
Twilight Sparkle is the lead, and the choice Lauren Faust made with her is the reason the relaunch worked: the protagonist of a show about friendship is introduced as someone who finds other people an obstacle to reading. She is anxious, over-prepared, prone to spiralling when a plan fails, and the series treats all of that as a real disposition rather than a flaw to be cured by episode six.

Who is Twilight Sparkle?
Twilight Sparkle is the lead, and the choice Lauren Faust made with her is the reason the relaunch worked: the protagonist of a show about friendship is introduced as someone who finds other people an obstacle to reading. She is anxious, over-prepared, prone to spiralling when a plan fails, and the series treats all of that as a real disposition rather than a flaw to be cured by episode six. Her arc across the run is genuinely long — she becomes a princess and eventually a head of state, which for a toy-driven property is a substantial commitment to letting a character change. The bookishness is also what gave the show its unexpected adult following a way in, since she is recognisably a certain kind of person rather than a colour with a personality attached.

What Twilight Sparkle looks like on a shirt
Signature motif: A purple pony with a star cutie mark and a streaked mane
The six-pointed star with smaller stars around it is the cleanest cutie mark in the cast and works as a single-colour emblem at any size. Purple is her identifier and reads well on both light and dark garments, which is unusual in this line.
The six-pointed star cutie mark is the cleanest emblem in the cast — single colour, any size. Purple reads well on both light and dark garments, unusual in this line. Kids' and youth sizing.
