Okay, so we know the basic gist of Sunset's past and mindset. But that came from Princess Celestia, and we ALL know how notorious she is with holding back information and keeping secrets. This is why I am making this thread. Who is Sunset Shimmer? Why did she go through the portal? What motivated her to try and steal Twilight's crown? Why did Celestia make it so that she never even existed before EG1? Please give thoughts theories and head canons on this. NO TROLL COMMENTS!!!!

4769149 I realize that it's up to personal interpretation, but so long as they don't conflict with what's seen in the animation, I'm fine with considering the comics canon. Why do so many people have a problem with this?

I don't have a problem with it. It's your opinion and you are entitled to it. Just be prepared for others to challenge it.
