Shining Armor is a major character in My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. He first appears in A Canterlot Wedding - Part 1, the first part of the two-part finale of the second season of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic.
He
is a male unicorn pony and Twilight Sparkle's older brother. He was
once the captain of the Canterlot Royal Guard, serving under Princesses
Celestia and Luna, but then he married Princess Cadance and later became
the ruling prince of the Crystal Empire, as well as the father of
Flurry Heart.
Shining Armor first appears in a flashback, as
Twilight describes her relationship with her brother to her friends. She
calls him her "B.B.B.F.F." (Big Brother Best Friend Forever), and
describes him as very caring toward her, him being the only one she
would be friends with at the time. They were close throughout her
childhood and he was present to see her off on the day she left
Canterlot for Ponyville, but they started losing touch with each other
after that. Twilight fears that now he is marrying "Princess Mi Amore
Cadenza", unaware that this pony is Cadance, and starting a family,
they'll never see each other again.
Shining Armor later tells Twilight he was unable to tell her of his engagement in person due to a threat on the safety of Canterlot; he adds that Princess Mi Amore Cadenza is Twilight's former foalsitter, Cadance. At the request of Princess Celestia, Shining Armor used his magic to create a protective barrier around Canterlot and keep it there constantly. However, unknown to everyone, Queen Chrysalis was already in Canterlot and had taken the place of Princess Cadance.
Before the wedding, Twilight tries to tell Shining Armor, but the false Cadance interrupts before they have a chance to talk and takes him into another room. Twilight, peeking through the door, sees Chrysalis, disguised as Cadance casting her spell on Shining Armor, concludes that she's "downright evil," and then runs off. Twilight at last confronts Cadance during the wedding rehearsal, causing "Cadance" to run off in tears. Shining Armor is so upset with Twilight for her actions, after justifying Cadance's behavior, he selfishly tells Twilight she is no longer his Best Mare and suggests that she should not bother coming to the wedding at all, making everyone sided with him, and abandon Twilight when they all should know what he said was wrong to leave Twilight out of the wedding.
By the time the wedding begins, turns out Shining Armor really is under the power of Queen Chrysalis the whole time. He now looks like he's in a full trance-like state until Twilight finally reunites him with the real Cadance. Her magic breaks the spell, but by now an army of Changelings has broken through his shield and is invading Canterlot. Shining Armor tries to perform a spell to repel the changelings, but he doesn't have the power. Cadance tells Shining Armor that her love will give him strength, and the two's magic spreads outward and repels all the changelings and their queen out of Canterlot and off into the horizon.
The wedding is redone with the real Cadance involved in the planning, and Shining Armor, having reconciled with Twilight off screen, makes her his Best Mare again, although that was Chrysalis's fault for making him do that to her. He jokes with her that Cadance only agreed to marry him after he told her she'd be gaining Twilight as her sister. At the wedding, Celestia declares that the power of Cadance and Shining Armor's love is undeniable, and pronounces them "mare and colt". The couple looks onto the castle courtyard and wave to the cheering crowds, then kiss.
After a wedding reception montage, Cadance and Shining Armor prepare to leave in their chariot. Before they do, Shining Armor thanks Twilight for all her help. The happy couple then rides off into the night.
On a side note, due to Shining Armor marrying Princess Cadance, he is considered royalty similar to Prince Blueblood.
Throughout his appearances, Shining Armor is portrayed as kind, caring, and protective. He has a very close relationship with his little sister Twilight Sparkle, and he is warm and loving toward his fiancée (and later wife) Princess Cadance. He can be shown to be wrathful and stubborn as he blames Twilight for accusing "Cadence" of being evil, though she honestly caught her off guard. However, this led himself to be brainwashed by Chrysalis and feeding on his love for Cadance just to weaking his protection spell that keeps the Changelings out of Canterlot, nearly destroying it as a result.
True to being the captain of the royal guard, he is also stern at times, as seen in Games Ponies Play and Twilight's Kingdom - Part 2. In Magical Mystery Cure, he was a bit insecure as he was saying that it was his tears of pride rather than admitting that he was crying proudly of Twilight for becoming a princess.
Despite his professionalism, Shining Armor has had moments of immaturity, like bawling his eyes out in Slice of Life and childishly coddling his previous childhood possessions in The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows. He also had a hard time forgiving others, including Discord and Thorax. In Sparkle's Seven, he can be competitive somehow. Despite his lack of academic performances, he is very good at strategy as he is skilled in planning the new castle defenses.
In the IDW comics' Neigh Anything story arc, Shining Armor is shown to have been socially awkward, shy, and nerdy in his academy years.
