Sunset Shimmer: No Equestria Girls(?!) · 12:59am Apr 1st, 2023
"What if Sunset Shimmer never left Equestria for the human world?"
That's an interesting what-if scenario that a lot of fans have speculated on and even made lots of interesting stories based on the concept, such as "Witch of Everfree" and "Freeport Ventures".
But I raise you an even more thought-provoking scenario: "What if Equestria Girls was never a thing, and Sunset Shimmer appeared as an original character in the show?"
If we were to forego the entire setting of the EQG spinoff and keep everything contained in the main show, then how and when would you introduce Sunset? How would she be depicted in the show of FiM? Would you rewrite the show to introduce Sunset earlier so her appearance wouldn't feel forced/rushed? Would she become part of the Mane 6 or forge her own path and her own circle of friends?
