Twily has always been a little antisocial. She usually just wants to sit away from everypony and play with Smarty Pants. Theres more to her behavior than just being a loner, so I dont force her to play with other fillies or colts. Shes just happy playing with me and Shining for now.

Also books. Always books.

((this is a scene from the original fanfic, but is also inspired by Amending Fences. Twily does have a reason for not playing with others and its kind of a sad one, at least thats what my readers said. Take a look if youre curious, or just enjoy this shiny painting thing))
