Thanks for the responses! :)

With regard to "Alicorn": It refers to the substance as well as the species itself, and is very commonly used. From Wikipedia: "A winged unicorn, pegacorn, unipeg or alicorn is a fictional equine with a set of wings and a horn.

The term alicorn, which describes the theoretical substance that a unicorn's horn is made from, has also been used as a name for winged unicorns." However, since the term "Alicorn" has so far not been used on the show to identify a "Pegasus unicorn," and the site is apparently trying to limit itself to the series' absolute canon...then I can kind of understand.

Re: The possible third sibling...hey, it would be pretty amazing if s/he were a villain! :D Interesting thinking.

Re: spelling of Cadence's name...ah, thanks for that. I remain convinced that all of the Cadance spellings are merely peoples' mistakes, because it's just one letter and doesn't really affect the pronunciation, so if they were unaware of the correct spelling (and lacked or ignored spell-check), it would be a fairly easy error to make...
