When the when the last mortal in the universe passes away, the lone immortal plans for her own funeral pyre. However she did not expect the interferance of a certain god of Chaos...
6478649 One thing I should point out is that one-sided beatdowns delivered by OCs are rarely satisfying to anyone but people who hate the character being beaten down, plus the writer. It's better to have fair fights that are well choreographed and give the OC a real challenge before they win; that way even fans of the character being beaten down can enjoy them. (I think your character might... technically? not be an OC? Is she a genderswap of Tails from Sonic? But even if she is, she's enough different from the base character to be effectively an OC.)
In particular, an OC who easily beats the crap out of a top-level character (Celestia, Starswirl, or one of the powerful villains) may come across as uncomfortably close to a Mary Sue (and being an extreme variant of a canon character from a crossover fandom doesn't actually save them here.)
It's understandable that a character who's ten thousand years old should be more powerful than pretty much everyone in Equestria, but Twilight, who is about 20 or so, fought Tirek to a standstill after he took magic from practically all the ponies in Equestria, with just the power of four alicorns... and it wasn't entirely because their powers were too close in level. It was more that Twilight fought smart. Celestia, Luna, Nightmare Moon, Discord and Sombra have all had experience fighting each other (and Celestia and Luna fought Tirek), and Chrysalis beat Celestia once. So just because your character has more experience and higher power levels doesn't mean that they should win a fight easily against a powerful Equestrian -- they'll win, but it should not be a "one-sided beatdown", as you said. Otherwise it's not very entertaining.
