I’ve headcanoned that she escaped through the portal, back to Filly Dash time, and now she’s one of several “clones” of Trixie running about :P
Ah, my mistake!😅 Granted, I didn’t know where to look for her.
That’s 100% Trixie
I looked up the clip in the bad future. I think that was a different pony you saw, not Trixie. Otherwise, you’re right.
Only in the comics, though. We actually know surprisingly little about her in canon, considering she was a pretty major character in the end, and a redeemed antagonist to boot, who had been around since Season 1. Like, she has a dad who may or may not know she exists and that’s basically all we really know about her. I like it. It’s kind of neat that everything we know about her we had to interpret from her personality. An interesting thing that I’ve noticed about her, is she’s strangely protective of others: we saw her teamed up with survivors against the changelings in that one bad future when you’d assume she’d have just ran, she teamed up with Starlight and co to fight the changelings and save ponies who had actually been pretty rotten to her, and she was protective of Gallus toward Grandpa Gruff. It’s cool how they fairly subtly gave her that character trait with no real explanation why :P

Maybe it’s some sort of boomer “hold herself up by her bootstraps” kind of thing. Like Princess Celestia has outright offered to completely fund her entire operation and she turned it down out of patented Applejack stubbornness.
Princess Celestia: “Applejack. You work incredibly hard for Equestria. You’ve saved this kingdom and her citizens several times over. Millions of ponies are alive today because of you, and their children and their children’s children will thrive thanks to you. Our descendants will sing songs of your heroism. This isn’t a handout; this is a pittance of the debt Equestria owes you. Now please accept this chest of one billion bits.”
Applejack: “AIN’T TAKIN’ A HANDOUT, PRINCESS!!!” XD
They go back to being in financial straits with the Zap Apple Jam episode, iirc, needing the batch to be good “or else”.

To me, even if she’s not technically “rich” I think it’s a distinction without difference sort of affair. She’s from an at least well-off family in the capital city, attended private school, has been the protege of the country’s absolute ruler since the age of about 6, has casually mingled with royalty since the age of needing a babysitter, is the sister to the leader of the country’s entire military, has served as a diplomat since the very first episode, has all of her domestic needs taken care of free of charge, attends every exclusive high-profile event, has a personal assistant who follows her every order and is essentially a servant, and seems to have complete autonomy to make any decisions she wants and be given anything she asks for. And this was all before she even became a princess. Whether or not she’s “rich” is honestly a moot point since she already has all the power and privilege one would have from being rich and then some: the only difference it would ultimately make is whether or not she had a big pile of money somewhere that she would never need to use anyways. All I know is I would look at someone with the connections, power, privilege, and standard of living as Twilight and think “holy HELL she is rich” :P
:shrug:
Twilight and family are either rich, or absurdly fortunate. And iirc at least one of their rooms is in a palace tower, which I’d feel safe in assuming is entirely theirs.
Edited
Twilight’s parents have a massive home in the capital city, got their daughter a literal princess as babysitter, put their daughter through the country’s most prestigious private school, their son in the military academy, who then achieved the country’s highest rank (and later became ruler of a neighbouring nation through marrying into royalty).
I can see that.
Certainly a better ending.
You know how I would have ended that episode? Snips and Snails are forced to rebuild Trixie’s wagon as punishment for luring a dangerous animal into town and endangering everyone. Keep in mind Trixie hates them and they’re idiots and now she’s stuck with them until they cobble her wagon back together. So they are actually punished for wrongdoing while Trixie isn’t, but she still gets some karma. Imagine how hilarious an ending that is: Trixie watching Snips and Snails hammer pieces of wood with wrenches, she morosely goes “Trixie would rather be homeless”, and Twilight goes “Now now, Trixie’s too great and powerful to be homeless!” :P
All jokes aside, I think Trixie would be like being friends with Pinkie Pie. She’d be a lot to handle and you’d get fed up with her, but it would also be a blast hanging out with her XD
Edited
On the point of Twilight rewarding Snips and Snails, I agree with you.
It’s why Magic Duel was honestly a lot more satisfying than I think the writers intended it to be. What was supposed to be “someone gets corrupted by revenge and is bested by their victims” basically became “someone who was greatly wronged set things right and just went a little too far.” Even her targeting Twilight actually made way more sense than I think they meant it to: her career was ruined because ponies decided she was a phony after being outdone by Twilight Sparkle, so outdoing Twilight Sparkle in a duel would show those ponies she wasn’t a phony after all. Sure it wasn’t Twilight’s fault, but again Trixie cares more about solving her problems than the feelings of some rich girl she barely even knows. Besides, Twilight cheered on the two morons who lured the monster to town and destroyed Trixie’s home, so I even saw Trixie targeting her as karma more than anything: where’s Trixie’s mustache for causing a ton of damage, Twilight? :P
Wow. When you put it that way… I feel awful for Trixie, but it also gives her some admiration from me for surviving as she has.
@WanderingHolyKnight
It makes sense too, when you consider her background as a traveling loner entertainer. She’s probably had to work for everything she’s ever had in her life, so I imagine feelings and sensitivity and politeness would be a lot less important to her than working for what she wants or needs, like they’d be first-world problems to a person like her. Look at her introductory episode: she gets up on stage and puts on a show where she inflates her ego, some people in the audience feel insecure from her and complain, and rather than dial it back or respect their feelings she basically tells them to deal with it. So they get on stage to try and get in her face about it, and she stands her ground, kicks their asses, mocks them, and continues. Keep in mind, being humiliated on-stage was probably the worst thing to happen to Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash in months, while the worst things to happen to Trixie in that timeframe were likely things like being robbed, going hungry, being attacked by monsters, shivering cold while trying to sleep, being alone, getting sick, and having two morons destroy her home and all her belongings because they wanted to watch some animal cruelty. Feelings wouldn’t even enter in to her logic while solving problems, so it makes perfect sense that she’d basically saying “fuck your feelings, your kid needs you so be a damned parent or leave” to a guy who said “boo hoo I don’t feel like being a parental figure!” :P
