I rather like empathy better. Don't forget, the elements are elements that make up Friendship.Redemption is too specific. There's only so much redemption one can do.Forgiveness is too one sided. Someone has to do something worth forgiving to be forgiven.Empathy is more general, like the other 6. It's Sunset's Empathy that lets her help human Twilight in Friendship Games. Yes, some of it is her forgiving Twi for her mistake, but it's more "I've been there, this isn't the path you want to take"Her Empathy allows her to see what the real thing the Dazzlings are after is in Rainbow Rocks, she begins to feel what her friends are feeling and realizes how negative it is and that it's what the Dazzlings want.But that's just my 2 cents
