Twilight Sparkle is a purple (slightly natural) unicorn foal who and his fellow dragon Spike are sent to Ponyville by their mentor (and queen) Princess Celestia to learn the magic of friendship. He travels to Ponyville and meets Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Rarity, who would become best friends in the future. Their characteristics of joy, loyalty, kindness, honesty, generosity, and magic allow them to manipulate the Harmony Crystal and deal with crises. They later live in Ponyville, Equestria, and many stories emerge from this. This group of extremely cute ponies was originally set to watch elementary school girls, but in 2010, G4 unexpectedly became popular, attracting a bunch of adult men to watch. The pomp and circumstance that caused a sensation on 4chan was no less than that of Panty & stocking. At a rather alarming rate, it has eroded the major residential networks in Europe and the United States. Its traces have also been found on major fandom creation platforms. Its related fanfic creation and secondary settings are also in full swing. Its popularity is so popular that even male viewers openly admit to liking ponies. Male viewers who love ponies refer to themselves as "Brony" and have a dedicated discussion board. Pony avatars can often be seen on major game battle platforms.
