When she began searching for the Elements of Harmony in order to defeat Nightmare Moon, she initially rejected assistance from the others, but quickly came to count on them during her search. Quickly becoming frustrated at the concept of making friends (as per Celestia's orders) she immediately began distancing herself from the ones that would later become her most trusted friends. In the early goings, it was obvious that Twilight saw friendship as more of a distraction than anything. Twilight and her friends' new mission was to spread the magic of friendship far and wide, her lessons were to help make Equestria a better place. With her new title, and friends beside her, it was now time for the student to become the teacher. Finally, the time had come for Twilight to earn her wings, literally, as Twilight had now become an alicorn, and crowned the Princess of Friendship. Princess Celestia congratulated her protégée on a job well done, commending her for completing something that Starswirl was unable to due to his lack of understanding of friendship. Twilight was able to resolve the issue by showing her friends who they really were, and corrected Starswirl's spell.

Upon casting the spell, Twilight soon realised that the spell had switched the Elements of Harmony, thus switching the cutie marks of her friends, which resulted in near disaster. Many friendship lessons later, Princess Celestia had a new task for Twilight: completing a spell originally written up by Starswirl the Bearded, a legendary unicorn and mentor to Celestia and Luna. After the defeat of Nightmare Moon and restoration of Princess Luna, Twilight's outlook on friendship had vastly changed, much to the relief of Princess Celestia, who then instructed Twilight to stay in Ponyville so she could learn more about friendship.

Twilight was unenthusiastic about the concept of making friends, more concerned about the imminent return of a dangerous foe, but when her soon-to-be friends assisted her through her mission, she finally began to understand the magic of friendship, which unlocked the sixth and final element: the Element of Magic. She knew that the Elements of Harmony would be needed, and believed that if Twilight could make friends, they would be able to find them and defeat Nightmare Moon. With Nightmare Moon's return on the horizon, Celestia saw this as an opportunity to break Twilight out of her shell.

Princess Celestia was impressed by how much Twilight was learning, but was concerned that she always distanced herself from others, which prevented her from reaching her full potential. The princess then made Twilight her own personal protégée, and Twilight managed to earn her cutie mark through the ordeal. Celestia stated that she had never seen a pony with as much potential as her, but she needed to learn to control her powers. Princess Celestia was able to calm Twilight down, which reverted everything back to normal. Unfortunately, her magic was uncontrolled, resulting in collateral damage (such as turning her parents into plants). Fortunately, she was able to hatch the egg no problem after that. Tasked with hatching a dragon egg with her magic, the young Twilight had all but given up, until the explosion of Rainbow Dash's first Sonic Rainboom kickstarted her magical potential. which she came dangerously close to failing. All she had to do was pass an entrance exam. After near endless amounts of studying, she was enrolled into Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. As a filly, Twilight Sparkle always had a fascination for magic, but after witnessing Princess Celestia raising the sun at the Summer Sun Celebration, her interest grew even more.
