It took both Twilight and Pinkie a long time to realize they wanted to settle down with each other. While Pinkie Pie was a lot more ambitious about it, Twilight, however, was much more hesitant. As great as it is to become an alicorn, it came with a bittersweet downside- Twilight would almost certainly outlive every pony she knows now, including her friends. This is something I want to dive into more another time, but it took a lot of time, meditation, and a touching talk with Pinkie Pie for Twilight to come to terms with this fact, and let her love despite it. They (and kinda Discord- I'll get to that in a second) officially started dating soon after, married, and had a (kinda) surprise set of twins~ One more thing I want to briefly talk about before talking about the twins is same-sex couples and having children. Spells for same-sex couples to have kids together have existed for centuries, but they tended to be very esoteric. The only documentation of the spells was in the Crystal Empire Library- which was imprisoned by Sombra for a thousand years, and therefore inaccessible. Even when The Crystal Library was open to the public again, the spells were old, imperfect, and almost illegible. Twilight and Sun Burst eventually take on the task of translating and perfecting these old spells- a project that ends up taking them years of studying and testing. By the time Pinkie and Twilight start talking about having their own kids, Twilight had just got done perfecting the spell~ thus, Sugar Nova and Starburst were born!

Sugar Nova (she/her) Eldest child of Pinkie Pie and Twilight by just a couple minutes! She takes her responsibility as the older sister very seriously, protecting him from the horrors of the world, sharing the last cookie with him, hiding under his bed with a bug bear mask to scare him occasionally, telling him he's a big nerd... typical older sibling stuff! Sugar is very loosely inspired from Bee from Bee and Puppycat, in that she tries her best to help everyone around her. Does it always work out that way? Eeeehhhhhhhhh See, being the daughter of Pinkie Pie, Sugar unfortunately inherited a "Pie" sense (all of the Pie family has this sense)- but with a twist. Sugar can sense when something is about to go wrong, but things only ever go wrong for her. If she gets a tail twitch, a piano is about to fall on her. If she gets a hoof tingle, a sinkhole is about to swallow her entire cart. Sugar has adapted well to this sense, but as you might expect it does impede her mission to help everyone from time to time. You might ask her to grab some apples for you, and she'll come back with a tree branch that fell on her head that may or may not have apples. But hey, free wood! Starburst (he/him) Starburst is just about the opposite of Sugar in every way. While Sugar prefers spending her days outside on adventures with new creatures, Star has a heart attack whenever you ask him to go to the grocery store. He loves ghost stories and other, impractical magic (similar to the kind of magic Zecora practices), and actually performs investigations on houses that may have ghosts pretty regularly! He's the ghost boi Growing up in a famous, eccentric family has done little to warm him up to strangers, as he much prefers staying out of the limelight and in his room where he can read his ghost stories. Star stays as close to the status quo as he can- eating same foods, wearing comfort clothes, and keeping his childhood friends close so he doesn't have to make anymore. He's autistic (and socially anxious), if you can't tell, but unlike Dragonfly Starburst was diagnosed early in his childhood. He's had the support of his family for a long, long time, and he's very happy. That being said... would it kill you to go outside more?!
