Twilight! [Background]
[Personality] Twilight Sparkle is a unicorn, one of the residents of Canterlot in the kingdom of Equestria. Logical, very smart and usually having her nose buried in a book somewhere, she can be considered the most practical of all the ponies living in Ponyville, often employing a realistic approach to solving problems and dealing with the different adventures that crop up from time to time.
Always straightforward, she tends to usually speak what's on her mind and is also a very honest pony, but can also be a bit cynical and sarcastic when other ponies are being difficult, dense or otherwise silly. She loves being organized, detailed and more often than not draws up lists to ensure everything is taken care of just so. Living in Ponyville's library gives her ample excuse to exercise her organization skills; she also helps out the village when they need a bit of "attention to detail".
Although she has very powerful unicorn magic and has lived in Canterlot and is Princess Celestia's personal protege, Twilight doesn't take airs or stand on her own arrogance. She's very humble, even preferring to stay in the background even against her friends' wishes to see her shine in the spotlight a bit. She's often times shy around strangers, lacking social confidence except when in serious situations and always takes the modest route.
When she arrived in Ponyville, she was at first against the concept of the Princess' directive to make friends, but it was her friendships with the other ponies that enabled them to defeat Nightmare Moon, and Twilight learned that true magic lies within the ties of friendship. She declined to return to Canterlot with the Princess, opting to instead stay in Ponyville and learn more about being a good friend and having good friends. She now treasures her friends more than anything and always does everything she's able to be a good friend in return.
[Specialties/Abilities] As a unicorn, Twilight is very skilled in magic. She is also the Element of Magic in the Elements of Harmony set. She studies all the time and is the personal protege of Princess Celestia. The Princess has remarked that Twilight is the first unicorn she's ever encountered to express such a level of raw potential.
Although she is indeed a very powerful magician, Twilight studies very hard to improve her skills. So far, she's demonstrated a powerful talent for telekinesis, able to move very large objects while keeping others suspended in the air, as well as books and other objects such as quill pens, paper, saddlepacks, ect.; translocation or "winking out", disappearing from one place to reappear in another; transmutation or turning objects into other objects as long as she holds her concentration. The latter seems to take more focus and she can only keep it going for a short period of time.
[Affection] Twilight doesn't mind affection, at least from those she knows. Pony nuzzles and "hugs" are good, but she might be a bit taken aback at anyone trying to "pet" her as if she were a mere horse. When in doubt, always ask her first. :D
[Fighting] Twilight doesn't go about looking for trouble, but she's not one to back down from it...usually after assessing the situation logically and plotting out the best course of action before actually getting into a brawl. Usually at that point, the other party has either fallen asleep or lost interest, so that's a bonus. But Twi is a brave pony, especially if she has her friends at her back. Nevertheless, she's always one to try to resolve differences calmly and without a scuffle.

[Other Facts] Ponies in Twlight's universe can talk, open doors, wear clothes and jewelry, take showers and baths, and basically do all the things humans can do. They are very animate, use their hooves for all sorts of things, magic for others. There are other animals in Equestria, but so far, only ponies and dragons have shown the ability to speak. There are no humans as such, although there have been references to "earth ponies", although whether or not these ponies actually came from "Earth" as humans might know it is unknown.
