Her hair is purple so it looks bizarre anyway.  
Actually only Applejack has mane with natural human colour.
 
I think that some people draw human mane six with skin colour based on how dark is their coat  
(Like Rarity almost always is just really pale. Which makes sense as white or almost white skin was seen as beautiful for long time through human history.)

I know that this is INCREDIBLY late but I think the reason why Twilight is mostly drawn with dark skin is because it just goes with her hair color. Think about it the dark skin complements her hair much better than lighter or pale skin does, in fact light skin makes her hair more jarring. At least for me that is.
 
Wonder how many people are going to actually see this.

Why the hell is she a human? Why are they all humans? Twilight is totally an elf… maybe a gnome. Trixie really is the gnome, though. Fuckin’ gnomes… Anywho. I hate it when everyone makes everything human in D&D. You can be any of hundreds of fantasy races, and you pick the one you are in real life. What the hell. AJ is a fair cop to human.

Seriously? Twilight is NOT fuckin lvl 1! She’d be either a level 7 with d10, or 14 with d20.

Genuinely hate how stats work in 3+e. It “discourages” minmaxing, yet, at the same time, practically forces you to minmax because of how AC, AB and DCs scale.

This is why I hate using arrays/point pools for character creation. Twi needs an 18 int.

By the way, if this was Ponibooru, I’d heckle the hell out of BG pony and label “her” a troll immediately. I don’t believe that “she” is honestly inquiring, or that she’s an asian woman (lie). I believe it’s trollbait, and should be banned the heck out of here. Anoning and asking controversial stuff? Please. A 5-year old wouldn’t buy that.

You may as well be asking why people portray Lyra as a lesbian, BG pony. Some things just catch on.
 
You, however, have no right to keep pressing it. If you are going to “keep asking until your curiosity is satisfied”, then you are no better than a troll. If you paid attention on the net you’d see that in every. single. humanized YouTube video or pic there are tons of morons like yourself turning it into a racism debate. Stop it. Just stop. If people like to draw them that way, how does it hurt you? Better yet, if you want a real answer, why don’t you ask the artist? Why do you keep bothering US with your spam?

3rd edition D&D has a few different methods for assigning attributes. Attributes (for most people) range between 3 and 18. The most basic is just to roll 3d6 six times to generate six scores, but heroic characters are supposed to have better stats than average and the norm for them is roll 4d6 and drop the lowest die. The elite array has the same average as 4d6-droplow and a wide range to ensure the character has some strengths and weaknesses. Some people use a point assignment system where you just have a number of attribute points and you assign them to stats on a 1:1 basis, but the more usual system given in the rules is a “points buy” system where you have a certain number of points (25 for standards, 35 for heroics) and you buy a score in each attribute - with higher scores costing proportionally more (so the difference between a 14 and a 16 is less than between a 16 and an 18) to discourage minmaxing.

Oh ok. Is that like Fallout’s S.P.E.C.I.A.L. system where you have a limit of points, and you put them to whichever stats?  
If not, I think I still have the grasp of it.

@Zombie_Trotsky  
She’s using the standard elite array - meaning you get the set of scores {15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8} and assign each to one of the core attributes. Within those constraints it’s a reasonable distribution of stats. I’d possibly have given her better charisma but wisdom’s definitely her dump stat.

Not sure if Carcer is agreeing with me or not…  
On the picture itself, I’m not a DnD expert at all, so I’m not sure about the accuracy of the stats. I guess I expected her to be weaker in the strength category.

@PikaRobo: “it doesn’t make any sense”  
I’d like to see you explain that in a way which isn’t dependent on racial stereotypes. So a lot of people imagine Twilight as being black? Get over it.
 
And it isn’t always Twilight - she’s just the one most commonly portrayed as nonwhite for some reason, and I very much doubt it’s specifically because someone goes and thinks “oh shit I better make someone be ETHNIC”. Like “white” isn’t ethnicity. The most likely reason there’s so many people that do her this way is because the first times someone drew her black, racists on the internet fucking exploded about it and that drew attention to the concept (sort of like the Streisand effect, I guess).

“Twilight Sparkle couldn’t be more a wizard if you painted ‘I AM A WIZARD’ on her side in big primary color block letters.”

Oh, right, herp. Textile. The sad thing is I’ve used a Textile commenting system before. I guess I’m still used to Ponibooru.

People are going to talk about that until the end of days. “Why is Twilight black?” “Why is Fluttershy not black?” “Why is Rarity asian?” And so on.
 
If you ask me, this picture is racist because Twilight’s not an [i]elf[/i].

Because no one, including you, has ever bothered to answer my question so I keep asking until my curiosity is satisfied.

Why are people still talking about ethnicity for humanizations?  
Just learn to live and simply let it be. It hurts no one that one is dark-skinned or of [X] faith. Or fat / muscular or whatever.

I think because she has the darkest coat color, but I agree; it doesn’t make any sense.

Just a question: when someone wants an ‘ethnic’ character, why is it always Twilight? And when someone makes Twilight ‘ethnic’, why is she black 9/10 times and Indian the other 1/10?
 
Just curious. Everytime I ask somewhere like Tumblr I get CHECK YOUR PRIVILEGE CIS SCUM WHITE MALE
 
Even though I’m asian. And female.
