Sunset Shimmer

Sunset Shimmer is a major character from the Hasbro series, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and the main protagonist of the My Little Pony: Equestria Girls series.
Before Twilight Sparkle became Princess Celestia's student, Sunset Shimmer was Celestia's student who abandoned Celestia after she wouldn't make her a princess. In the process, she followed down a path of evil and ended up in a human world version of Equestria and dominated Canterlot High School as a self-absorbed bully who always pushed the students around. After stealing Twilight's crown as she began her title as a princess, Sunset planned to use it to gain unlimited power and rule the human world. After Twilight and the human versions of the Mane Five defeated her, Sunset promised to turn over a new leaf and become a better person. While it was a struggle given how everyone hated her for being a bully, she still managed to earn her redemption and has become a best friend to the Mane Five along with Twilight Sparkle (Sci-Twi) at the Friendship Games, and has learned a lot about friendship through her bond with her friends.
