*Canon* Alicorn Sunset Shimmer - Princess.Nebula

**Second Life User:** Princess.Nebula

**Roleplay Preference:** TEXT ONLY (OOC on voice is fine)

**Character Name:** Sunset Shimmer

**Character Race:** Born Unicorn, Ascended Alicorn

**Character Abilities:** Aside from being an Alicorn well studied in Magic by Celestia herself, she is also blessed by an Elemental Relic that chose her in the Human World (her pendant). The Pendant unlocked her ability to see in to the thoughts of others who she touched. In Equestria the pendant can no longer be seen, because it is a part of her. With the help of her Alicorn Magic and affinity to the relic, Sunset can look in to the strong emotional thoughts of others (This will not abused, permission will be requested and the results of what she sees planned in OOC before it happens).

Being a Unicorn Ascended to Alicorn, Sunset Shimmer has wings, the ability to fly. She also has greater potent reserves of magic to draw upon for spells and power not available to the average or advanced Unicorn (with few exceptions, such as Starlight Glimmer who is acknowledged as specially powerful and nearly equal as a Unicorn).

**Character Background Story:** This version of Sunset takes place after the current events of Equestria Girls up until this known point in time (March 12th 2021).

As life stabilizes in the realm across the mirror, the girls are graduating High School! While the Mane Six have made their various arrangements to start their adult lives or continuing their education at the higher level, Sunset has become a bit homesick for Equestria, if only for a few years visit to continue her schooling on another level as well. She chose to return to Equestria to pick up where she left off on the studies of Magic, Friendship, and the vast world of Equestria itself. Possibly even about history and artifacts as they seem to be at the epicenter of the various trials her friends have had to overcome since meeting her. All of this in her return to Equestria is the intent to protect them and the other world.

What she wasn't prepared for began when she crossed the mirror. Bad timing? Faithful encounter in to chaos? Sunset crossed the mirror as the world shifted and time warped. She was now in the expansive mess of a multiverse. At first, everything seemed normal... until little things were changing around her, or didn't seem right. The big changes came when she met Ponies who... changed their stories. Some who knew her suddenly didn't; some who didn't suddenly did. Some had dopplegangers similar to those that crossed the mirror, but there appeared to be more of some than others to account for multiple realities and timelines. Some inquired in to it, some seemed oblivious to it. Some were able to roll along with it, some could not stand idly by. Sunset's realization of this and acceptance of her new mission to learn about what may be going on underneath it all awakened her power. She found herself teleported to an astral realm, met by a Princess Celestia who understood her plight and her task. Celestia spoke to her not only of what she was undertaking, but fondly of the growth she had seen in Sunset Shimmer since their parting in the past. Visions of Sunset's adventures with her friends in the Human World paraded around them in the air, affirming Celestia's choice to bestow Sunset with her wings. When the pony awoke in the streets of Canterlot, she was adorned with golden regalia and a new pair of wings. Now, her new life begins.
