G4 Twilight Sparkle
Twilight Sparkle is a G4 Unicorn Pony and one of the main characters in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. As one of the main characters, Twilight Sparkle has been released in toy form multiple times.
After the Season 3 finale, "Magical Mystery Cure", Twilight Sparkle was redesigned as an an Alicorn. In merchandise released after this change, she is uniformly referred to as Princess Twilight Sparkle. Besides her original unicorn mold, her Alicorn redesign initially featured a taller mold used for Princess Luna and Princess Cadance. However, merchandise for Season 5 of the series seems to have changed to a mold consisting of a Unicorn head and a basic Pegasus, which had been used for toys of Luna released prior to Cadance's debut.

Twilight Sparkle is one of the main characters in the show, first appearing in the pilot "The Elements of Harmony". She is the personal student of Princess Celestia, who took her as a student after Twilight spontaneously displayed her immense magical potential. Though Twilight was devoted to her studies to the point of eschewing friends, she would change her views after defeating Nightmare Moon, when her newly discovered friendships proved instrumental in Nightmare Moon's defeat. Celestia would task her with studying the magic of friendship in Ponyville. Twilight has an older brother, Shining Armor, who appears in Season 2 when he marries Princess Cadance, Twilight's former foal-sitter.
While most Unicorns in the show have a limited amount of magic relating to their talent, Twilight Sparkle's talent is magic itself. Thus, Twilight Sparkle is capable of performing a much wider range of magic as compared to other unicorns. However, her spells sometimes backfired. In the episode "Magical Mystery Cure", Twilight is able to create her own unique magic spell, which results in Twilight gaining wings and becoming an Alicorn princess alongside Celestia, Luna, and Cadance. In Season 4, she officially gains her own title as the Princess of Friendship.
Twilight Sparkle's speaking voice is provided by Tara Strong and her singing voice is provided by Rebecca Shoichet.
