OldToby Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 OK, now I'm a new to the Herd, but after seeing all the episodes and reading a bit of the lore, I've a question....Princess Cadance is stated to be Celestia's niece, according to the New York Times ad. That means, that technically, she is the daughter of Celestia's brother or sister. The only defined sister we have is Luna. Does this mean that Candace is Luna's daughter? Just trying to get my info straight here and frankly, if this is the case that would be WAY COOL.Does anypony have any info on this idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie Cakes Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 this topic probably has all you're looking for :3 it's all just speculation at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirShadowdeath Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 I've seen multiple fanon explanations, but there has been no canon answer.I would assume it's a form of extended family? Maybe she has more family that just hasn't been mentioned yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 I'd say the 'Dark Secret' has something with her not being a genuine alicorn or something. That's my opinion though, I would hate it if she was Luna's daughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyLittlePonyTales Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Some new info that just popped up said she was Twilight Sparkle's babysitter... Nightmare Moon just returned and Twilight Sparkle helped free Luna from her. It makes even less sense now for her to be Luna's daughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoth Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 I believe it might just be Hasbro being Hasbro, and still attempting towards marketing to kids and making her related to the princess. How?......WELL, WHO CARES? IT'S FOR KIDS! AND KIDS DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING NOW!In all seriousness, it's just like the whole situation with Prince Blueblood. Faust intended to make him a Duke, but Hasbro figured kids wouldn't known what a Duke was. I suppose it was just a marketing decision that Hasbro felt would work out without explanation, and made the FiM crew just go with it...I'm not too big on "staying canon" with one-off characters, but I can see where people can get mixed up with Cadence. Heck, I'm STILL in disbelief on how Shining Armor is Twilight's brother, Just go with it, I suppose. It's nothing to lose sleep over, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elsporko Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 In Equestria prince and princess may be a general term for the higher levels or aristocracy, which would explain why the nation is ruled by princesses and not queens. The words have slightly different definitions then how we use them.Niece may also be used in a more general way. I know in my dad's family cousins were called aunts or uncles if they were significantly older, or an aunt or uncle could be a cousin if they were the same age as the person addressing them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldToby Posted April 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 I agree with you Thoth, just had me curious.Also, that's a really good point Elsporko. I hadn't thought of it like that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
