Cadance has no character to speak of, so it's no wonder you forgot her. She's totally superfluous.Seriously! Zero personality. I think she's one of the few times where the writers totally dropped the ball. "She's the princess of looooove!" Nah, she's the princess of merchandising. YouTuber MaiSky has suggested that Lauren Faust, the show runner, originally intended there to be only two alicorns - the Sisters. That makes sense. Hasbro probably wanted one more 'princess' to market in the first season.
BTW, Celestia was a queen originally until Hasbro told Faust to make her a 'princess' too.
Starlight very well may be the 5th alicorn next season, though. She's already Twilight Sparkle 2.0.
I completely agree. I remember I tried to like Cadance when she first appeared (the episode is good), but she's just 'meh'
And yes, the show is very clearly built from the start for the 'Two Alicorns' thing. Every time they introduce a new Alicorn, they kinda don't know what to do with her.
Let's see what they do with Starlight.
