Twilight Sparkle has done it - she’s made friends! She went from a shy, socially awkward loner to a confident, self-assured genius.
But how did she get there?
Her friends want to know. And so, the night of the successful Crystal Gala, the Rainbooms and Spike sit down in the Sapphire Tent for a chat about family, acceptance and friendship.

That... was one hell of an emotional work. What a w!y to put us in the head of Twilight. It got heavy for me when we arrived at Cadence. I feel for Twilight. It reminded me of when I sometimes was teased or harassed for being too close to school officials and teachers who I felt safer around. I'm glad that the ending was not a downer. Thank you for making this. This had decent prose.
The origins of a Mad Twientist that doubles as a character study. I love it! SAVED!
This is such a good character study and origin story! I love this so much. Poor Twily.
Loved the depth you gave Sci-Twi! You did amazing with the switch between perspectives too imo
FINALLY, a story that goes in depth into Sci-Twi's backstory! And this is really well done too. This can get to the feels real fast too. And that's another favorite!

Thank you all so much for your wonderful comments. They mean the world to me.
Nice to see a story about the backstory of Sci Twi. :) I think it was very well done. Keep up the good work.

Thank you!
11500463 You are very welcome. :)
This story isn't for me for entirely practical reasons: I've never seen Equestria Girls! And I barely imagined it was EQG-based until Twilight raised a "hand" in class. So I don't really know what's going on right at the end there. But it was still pretty sensible - some kind of Friendship Event occurred that freed Twilight of her capital-N Nightmares and introduced her to the canonical gang. Fair enough.
Lack of understanding aside, I enjoyed it. Your telling of Twilight's childhood is really compelling, and you've written her narration with a strikingly believable voice. I also love how you can exclude the flashback parts and still have the main framing device, the first-person narration, work as an in-universe document or whatever. I would assume Twilight is not actually inserting third-person flashbacks into this. Hahaha.
Thanks for writing it!

And thank you for your comment!
I was really worried I wasnʼt getting Twilightʼs voice right, so Iʼm glad I did it justice.
My Little Reviews & Feedback I did your review.

Thank you!
Pretty annoyed at Twilight's treatment of Cadance here. And the quick paragraph to explain she apologized felt glossed over.
An interesting look at SciTwi's early life... but honestly she seemed like a jerk, especially to one who was so kind to her.
Good fic tho.

Thank you for your compliment.
As for Twilightʼs behavior... pre-Friendship Games Sci-Twi wasnʼt exactly the nicest person to be around. Her one interaction she has with Cadence in the third movie showed her to be dismissive of Cadenceʼs concerns. I just rolled with that and upped it to eleven.
I also debated for a long time whether I should elaborate on their make-up, but eventually decided not to.
Iʼm really glad you enjoyed the story, though, and I understand your interpretation of Twilight.

Tbh I've only seen up to rainbow rocks and some of the shorts so I'm quite unfamiliar with SciTwi. Thank you for the clarifications.
This was such a great read. I always love seeing Human Twilight’s backstory as it’s just rich with emotional moments. Throughout the third movie, we could see that she wanted to make friends, but her classmates made that rather difficult. It’s even further explained in the Friendship Games novelization, that Twilight wanted to into Everton to run away from Crystal Prep. Something I also noticed about this character study and the the third movie is how Human Twilight really reminds me of Peter Parker from Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man more then Pony Twilight. Especially that scene with the bus.. As well as how Surgercoat and the others always try to tease or mock her. And it makes sense since this also an alternate world
