Description

Well, someone asked me about Cadance and whether or not I’ve drawn anything of her. I hope this answers your question. c:

Just a quick headshot I did of her to make her a button for Bronycon. The actual button has a background but I left this blank just ‘cause. So there you have it. The Princess of Love. 8D

Since I actually posted headcanon of her separately I’ll just cut and paste it here with a few tweaks here and there:

So Cadance. She is, in my headcanon, the Queen of the Crystal Empire and, of course, the Princess of Love. She was originally a pegasus (idea taken from the comic) before she was eventually ascended into an alicorn after demonstrating her knack of leadership and her compassion for anyone and anything. She was originally an orphan, but after being ascended Celestia took her in as her adopted niece, grooming her to be a leader any country would be proud to have. Her marriage with Shining Armor makes him the Prince Consort of the Crystal Empire (she just calls him her king though), and soon enough, she may just have a little surprise for her favorite sister-in-law… ;D

Cadance may be called the “Princess of Love” however it isn’t because she can actually make anyone fall in love or anything like that.

As an alicorn (and even before her ascension into an Alicorn), Cadance has an unnatural amount of magic and said magic is more intuned with the Energy element than normal. As such, she is capable of performing feats of magic that is able to manipulate the emotions of others to a degree; not outright control them (nor can she make anyone fall in love, as said before) however she is able to make some emotions become more prominent than others at the given time (example: she can “encourage” an annoyed pony into anger, however in the same breath she can “persuade” an annoyed or angry pony into calming down to a more rational level). 

So in my headcanon she is dubbed the “Princess of Love” (even though she is also the Queen of the Crystal Empire in my headcanon too) due to her presence usually instilling a wave of calm, warmth, and the urge to feel friendly and affectionate (which is done mostly unintentionally; this started when she Ascended and her magic grew stronger). She is also known as such because despite the possibilities, Cadance always uses her ability of empathy to encourage positive feelings and not negative ones, however she more often than not simply doesn’t use the ability unless she feels like she needs to (often to instill calm and to ease arguments that are either useless or taking an unnecessarily nasty turn).


AAAAaaaaand there ya go. Some headcanon to go with the side of artwork. :3 As always, feel free to ask any questions!
