Wow! While I've seen a lot of fan work of Sunset being an alicorn this one is not only the best it's also very beautiful!

I really find Sunset's character arc in the Equestria Girls trilogy to be the most fascinating! In the beginning she was someone who lusted for power, was manipulative, cruel and almost sadistic. The mystery is whether or not she was aware of her actions. Maybe she wanted to hurt others as a way to hurting herself(who knows?).



And when the knowledge that she became a Raging She Demon due to her impurity and dark thoughts plaguing her heart hit her it traumatized her. She thought that she could never change until Twilight decided to give her hope. And that single act managed to change Sunset's life for the better. It inspired her to be better. And it's funny because in the sequel she actually not only inspired her friends against the Sirens she also inspired Twilight herself.



Then Friendship Games came which should be called Sunset's finest hour. In the scene when she railed against Human Twilight for capturing Equestrian Magic without being aware it's almost as if there's more to that than meets the eye. Maybe despite having respect and reverence for Pony Twilight she still holds an even more personal grudge for Pony Twilight being better than her and that she's literary forced to live in her shadow. And since Human Twilight is very similar she decided to use it as an opportunity to rant and rave against her as a way to make herself feel better. Not being aware that she was attacking someone who literary did nothing wrong. Someone who's mentally and emotionally immature. That's when she felt guilt and shame because she let her anger and stress get the better of her.



And then the finale. When Twilight transformed herself into Midnight sparkle after being literary forced to release the captured magic out of peer pressure she decided to use her new founded powers to destroy the Human world(Whether it was to discover more of Equestria or to wipe the world clean so she could be alone is a theme worth discussing.) Sunset was trying to calm her down. At the first time she failed because Twilight was too drunk with her own despair. Then sunset tried again she now began to under stand why Twilight was doing what she was doing. She understood her fear and anger. She understood where she was coming from. She felt Empathy. It's funny because in the final fight Sunset wasn't trying to beat Twilight but instead trying to save her from herself. It's kind of insane that for someone who used to be temperamental and almost egotistical she managed to be the one with the most motherly affections.



If she came back to ponyville I wouldn't be surprised if she became not only an alicorn princess but also a new bearer for a new Element of Harmony. Meghan McCarthy once stated that if Sunset was an element bearer she would be the Element of Empathy. And if she did became an alicorn in the show I honestly think she would be crying. But not out of joy but more out of understanding. That to reach that title and goal one must go above and beyond their insecurities and flaws.



I do hope that if she does come back to the show she becomes an Alicorn because I think she earned that title. And I bet she would make Celestia proud.
