Description

Did you notice the way Alphabittle was looking at Misty? Could this be a hint that Alphabittle and Misty are related? Maybe Misty is his long lost daughter.
Also, notice how Alphie’s smile suddenly fades when earlier on in this episode Queen Haven talks about how this whole dance thing reminds her of her daughters. If the above mentioned theory is right then Haven’s speech saddened him because he’s suddenly reminded of his own (lost) daughter. 😢

With Alphabittle and Haven possibly getting married in the future, this way Misty could gain two sisters! Zipp and Pipp!

There’s still a chance that they’re not related, but there’s some hints that suggest that Alphabittle probably had his own family too at one point.
I mean, in that AlphaHaven TYT episode you can tell he was clearly enjoying all those family-activies, despite this whole royal setting was out of his comfort zone, and I don’t think it was merely because of Queen Haven’s presence. To me it looks more like he always wanted to be a part of a family.

Then when Pipp and Zipp accused him for ruining their day, he also acted a bit strange. He didn’t even say anything in his own defense. If he’s indeed Misty’s father or relative, then whatever happened in the past, he might blames himself for losing her and feels awful for it. And maybe this picnic-event with the royal family reminded him of that.

Besides, when he was saying: “No, no, they’re right. Sorry for messing up your day, girls. I think it’s best I leave you ponies to your special family day.”, idk if it’s just me, but I can hear some subtle gap in Alphabittle’s voice between “special” and “family” words.
And yes, TYT is also canon, because all the main events from Make Your Mark are represented here, such as Misty’s and Opaline’s story, the MareStream, Alphabittle’s and Queen Haven’s relationship, etc., just some of those ideas are executed differently there. But the end result story and character-wise is still the same as in the main series if you know what I mean.
Then there’s this scene from earlier on when his face saddens for all sudden when Queen Haven’s talking about her daughters.

And this brief little scene from Winter Wishday was also pretty interesting:
I mean he was all smiley and happy in front of Izzy and the others, but after they both wish “Frosty shivers!” to each other and he turns away from them, he looks rather sad. Maybe Izzy reminded her of his own daughter who should be about the same age as her at this point if she’d be still around. And holidays are always the worst for lonely people, or ponies.
Not to mention that if he indeed lost his family at some point in his life, that also could explain why he is/was drawn to gambling and collecting stuff on the first place. Maybe he was simply enjoying the games for themselves, but it also could be a coping mechanism.

I do think it’s possible he recognized Misty but that doesn’t necessarily mean she’s his daughter. It could simply mean that he was aware that she went missing.

@Dustcan
Many people say that, but here’s my question: Why would the fact that Alphabittle doesn’t recognise Misty be important to point out in the slightest, at all? It had to be more than this.

There are three options:
1- (the theory that everyone has) alphabittle is Misty’s father.
2- he doesn’t recognise her from bridlewood
3-he noticed that Misty doesn’t have a cutiemark

I noticed. Looks like they’re recycling some animation cycles. There was also a point where you could see Sunny dancing on a screen, and I’m pretty sure it was the dance from the rythm portion of the Maretime Bay Adventure.
This is pretty obviously Chekhov’s glance going on here. Not only is it an obvious two-beat double take, but the forward shot specifically blocks out Misty so that there’s a reason for the conversation to continue. What his relationship is, who knows? But I’ll bet 10 bits that he has some connection to Misty’s past.

and he said right before that the sight could remind one of his own dancing skill. This and the Nightmare Night party showed that Misty likes dancing, similar to Alphabittle…

Maybe he was just wondering who Misty was and where she came from because he’s never seen her before. I’d imagine he knows basically every unicorn from Bridlewood being a bartender and all, but it would still be awesome and wholesome if they’re long lost father/daughter. :3
