Sunset Shimmer

Sunset Shimmer is one of the main protagonists of the series and was a former main antagonist of the Equestria Girls

   and is an embassador of Equestria and became a member of the Saviour Orginization after the War with the First Evil.

## Appearance

As a pony she has a light amber coat, red and brilliant yellow mane and tail, and a cutie mark of a red and yellow shimmering sun.

As a human she has red and yellow hair with a black jacket and a pink shirt that resembles her cutie mark from her original pony form and a orange skirt.

She dones a new outfit where her jacket is smaller and wears a blue dress and jeans.

## Personality

Throughout the first film, Sunset Shimmer is shown to be self-absorbed, sadistic, merciless, unsympathetic, condescending, manipulative, dishonest, and mostly sociopathic.

She frequently insults and belittles others and thinks little of it.

According to human Fluttershy, Sunset makes life miserable for "anyone who stands in her way."

As a result, most of the Canterlot High School student body is afraid of her.

She is also not above making threats and blackmail in order to realize her goals.

When Sunset puts on the element of magic, she transforms into a demonic visage of herself.

While in this form, she becomes more ruthless, going so far as attempting to dispose of Twilight.

After she is defeated, Sunset Shimmer becomes immediately repentant and apologizes for her actions, appearing to renounce her prior dishonest and unkind ways.

In the second film, Sunset Shimmer has completely discarded her old self and starts believing in friendship, being kind toward others and befriending former enemies.

With an exception of Rainbooms, the rest of the students still bearing resentment towards her and mercilessly willing to not forgive her for what she had done to everyone she hurts.

She is also deeply repentant for her actions in the first film, referring to her transformed self as a "raging she-demon".

However, she suffers from a lack of confidence, keeping silent in situations she feels it isn't her place to speak up and falling prey to the Dazzlings' taunting.

During the final battle, she finally overcomes her insecurities and joins the Rainbooms in defeating the Dazzlings, gaining a half-pony form in the process.

By the end of *Rainbow Rocks*, Sunset starts

   writing friendship reports to Princess Twilight using the book she once used to communicate with Princess Celestia.

By the third film, while Sunset has managed to fully integrate herself into the group and take mentions of what she did in the past with good humor, she also harbors a fear of losing her school's newly gained trust, and she becomes deeply depressed when she believes she has let them down, despite their assurances.

She also becomes increasingly irritated and stressed by her struggles to understand how magic works in the human world, briefly snapping at her friends at one point.

When the human Twilight Sparkle endangers her friends, Sunset's anger explodes as she berates Twilight for meddling with forces she doesn't understand, taking her own frustrations and self-doubt out on her.

However, she immediately regrets her harsh words and reaches out to Twilight in friendship by the end of the film.

In The Art of Friendship, Sunset has a fondness for sunflowers that she expresses through her painting in art class. Her artistic side is further shown in Display of Affection and Super Squad Goals.

A Fine Line shows that she likes to play video games, and she is excited to get the new game *Tirek's Revenge*.

Sunset is shown to be serious, selfless, and has a no-nonsense attitude, but she is also shown to have some anger issues at times, especially when she is stressed out; she is also very competitive and hates losing.
