Princess Cadance

Princess Cadence, later spelled Princess Cadance, is a Pegasus unicorn pony who has yet to appear on the show. She is scheduled to appear in the season 2 two-part finale, A Canterlot Wedding, alongside Shining Armor, her husband-to-be. She is the niece of Princess Celestia.

Development
Lauren Faust was involved in the inception of the story in which Princess Cadence appears. At that point in development, Cadence was not designed as a Pegasus unicorn, and Faust was surprised to see her as such; the decision was made after she was no longer working on the show.

Spelling
Cadence is a musical term meaning modulation, inflection rhythm, or the closing sequence of a musical phrase. The original spelling was used by Hasbro in early publicity material and some products. The variation "Cadance" is used in later publicity material and products.

Merchandise
A "Pony Princess Wedding Castle" featuring a plastic castle, Shining Armor brushable, and Princess Cadence brushable, has been set to be released August 2012.

On Princess Cadence's toy box, her name is spelled "Cadance".
