Well after Seige (even thou this should be non-canon) i think more sense it could be if Cadence is more like granddaughter or great-granddaughter or a distant descendant

How was it terrible? hope abandoned her destiny as a princess to help the one she loved, and sombra learned that just because your family are monsters, doesn’t mean you have to, and single handedly saved the empire. They both deserved a happy ending after all that they’ve been through
 
And that is the big problem. The story not needed a happy ending, is that really necessary to keep sombra alive? It would be better if hope ended with her having sombra’s horn and go to that quest of saving princess amore by her own, it would be a much better ending.

Not a descendant of Amore necessarily; “Very distant relative” makes me think of her being descended from Amore’s seventh cousin or something, someone who Amore had never met/known, the kind of relative you have to do research to realize you’re even related.

That backstory killed that entirely. She was just some random Pegasus who appeared out of nowhere in the woods. I have zero idea how she even has Amore’s bloodline and her entire backstory is almost a plothole with how they try and explain her.

To be precise, the quotes were:
 
“Is the “Princess Amore” in your book an ancestor of Princess Cadence? Or just a similar name?”
 
“I think of her as a very distant relative.”

A very distant relative of Celestia? That’s not mutually exclusive with being the descendant of the Crystal Empire.
 
Oh, no, sorry for the confusion. Someone asked AKR if Cadance was descended from Amore and AKR said “I think of her as a very distant relative.”

I have a simpler theory. Cadance is the descendant of the royal line of the Crystal Empire which Sombra usurped.
 
Amy Keating Rogers said she sees Cadance as a “very distant relative” (and I figure that was probably just some vague justification for the historical echos theme she had going on in the Journal of the Two Sisters). So probably not a descendant proper.

Well, it would have been a fun theory. Sorry OP.
 
Cadence could actually be Sombra’s great great great great granddaughter. Or maybe Hope/Starswirl/Celestia (maybe Starswirl, considering this is his kind of thing) hurled Cadence into the future to protect her or something.
