![]() I was wrong for seeing him as some sidekick scab. And it was these qualities that had him promoted from Twilight's #1 Assistant to Queen Twilight's Royal Advisor. Of course, he had three strengths that helped both Twilight Sparkle on her own journey of self-discovery and build friendships between Equestria and nations ruled by initially unfriendly creatures: Diligence, loyalty, and being Twilight's voice of reason. And I guess, from a feminist's perspective, he's the best role model for boys and men to teach them that you'll always be a hero even if you're in a girl's show. Not only does he go from being lazy, greedy, and immature at times, to becoming wiser, generous, and selfless, but he has proven time and again of how he is as much a great hero as his pony pals. However, as the show rolled on, we would see Spike go through quite a development in character. I thought he was just a least interesting character, as well as male butt monkey to his female friends. Since Spike was the only main child, it makes sense that he would have his own rite of passage journey throughout the entireity of MLP:FIM. From being a childish assistant to Twilight Sparkle, to growing into a hero and a royal advisor of Equestria and beyond, becoming a dragon even Spyro would be surprised to meet. Now that My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic has ended, we can all say that Spike has become the best dragon Equestria has ever known.Īs I just said, Now that My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic has ended, we can all look back, and see how this little dragon had quite a journey for him. Wonder if he's swoon some dragonesses while he's out on his diplomatic trips. He's probably the buffest Friendship Ambassador ever. And while Spike continues his role as Her majesty's royal advisor, his ambassador job promoted from the dragons to everycreature: Friendship Ambassador to All Creatures. And after many years, Queen Twilight Sparkle's reign has turned Equestria into a better place, where every pony and non-pony creature live together as friends. Even they would meet their old friends once every moon as the Council of Friendship, Spike and Twilight will always have each other back in Canterlot. Then, when Princesses Celestia and Luna declared their retirement, and chose Twilight Sparkle and her friends to reign in their stead, Twilight made Spike her Royal Advisor on the day she was to be coronated (until Equestria's remaining villains interferred). After Twilight opened her School of Friendship to all creatures, Spike sprouted wings, and as he was maturing physically, but he continued maturing emotionally, becoming a true friend. Not to mention, he finally became Sibling Supreme after completing the the sibling rivalry between Twilight and her older brother, Shining Armor. Thus, he has earned the Crystal Empire title, Great and Honorable Spike the Brave and Glorious, and the Friendship Ambassador to Dragon Lands when it comes to Pony-Dragon Relations. He has even saved all of Equestria from time to time, from retrieving the Crystal Heart from the evil King Sombra and saving Equestria from Garble by participating in the Gauntlet of Fire, and help Ember become the new Dragon Lord. After all, it's not what he is that matters, but who he is that does. Nevertheless, he is accepted by Ponykind, and, even though he doesn't bear an Element of Harmony, he is still very important to his very best friends. At one point, he thought he found his father in the lazy, mooching Sludge, but soon discovered the liar's rouge. ![]() Being a dragon in a pony world has made him feel like a fish out of water, especially since he was orphaned as an egg with his origin being a mystery. And although he will do anything for his pony friends, he can be lazy and enjoy taking a nap. Nonetheless, he will also speak up when either Twilight or Starlight Glimmer get overambitious. There are times, however, when Spike will get into mischief or his greed for gems and praise get the best of him. And of course, he still has his MASSIVE incurable crush on Rarity, who thinks of him as the "sweetest, kindest, most generous dragon ever," and he will do anything for his glamorous Unicorn friend. He is ever-faithful, has a magical green fire breath that enables him to deliver scrolls from and to Princess Celestia, and has an insatiable appetite for gems. Spike has been best friends with Twilight since she hatched him, and would become a much valued member of Team Pony after the twosome were relocated to Ponyville. Need a helping hand, a quick delivery, or friendly smile? There's one little dragon who can do all three (and then some). Today is Dragon Appreciation Day, and thus, this is the day for Twilight Sparkle's #1 Assistant. ![]()
