I'm blatantly stealing this from an anon from /mlp/ because I absolutely love this theory. So +1,000 internet points to whomever this was.

 

I would lose my mind if this is the case. I will personally fly to Vancouver and shower the dhx building in money and rose pedals.

It's an interesting theory and it'd be a stellar plot twist if this turned out to be true.  But I don't think it is.

 

The name "Starlight Glimmer" is in line with Twilight's name but also Sunset Shimmer's.  It seems to be a common theme for antagonistic characters who are pitted against Twilight in particular.

 

Plus there is already a licensed toy and official artwork of Princess Skyla out there so she seems the safer bet at the moment.

one problem, she had zero clue who Twilight is or any of her friends.

It's not a stretch at all to think that was an act.

The Skyla model has been around for a few years now. Well before S5 was a glimmer in anyone's eye. I doubt they're actually related.

I honestly can't see this happening. How does Cutie Mark removal tie into anything Shining Armour/Cadence-related?

That would be a plot detail that would have to be revealed. If Twilight creates a world of friendship and celebrating individuality, and Starlight somehow rejects this, it's easy to see how she could try to rewrite history.

 

 

AKA: it will be a friggin epic finale.

Time to get narcissistic and claim that this was my theory in the first place... but being rational, it seems like quite a few thought of this! It's probably not true, but it really messes you up if you think too much about it.

She seems confused that an alicorn could actually block her magic. Everypony knows alicorns have the strongest forms of magic. She isn't from the future, she's from under a rock. XD

A bit of insight behind this theory is that she's an 'anti-twilight' after being compared to her aunt all the time, given her similar name and talent, yet always falling short of her accomplishments. It's also strange that she knows who Twilight is, even though I doubt she would have left the town and found out that she was a princess. They seem isolated from everyone, and that would give her unequal privileges.

This is by far the best theory for the finale that I have read so far. I have made it clear numerous times that I am not looking forward to the finale much at all, as I hate the whole time travel concept and what it entails, BUT, if this were somehow true, then holy Celestia, that would be interesting. That would actually make me want to see the finale just to see how it would play out, which right now my stance is dreading it more than anything. 

 

The one thing that bothers me about this is that I want it to be true, but I don't think it is, as convincing as this seems. Maybe Starlight was not born as an Alicorn and she was jealous of Twilight, the Royal Sisters and Cadence (her mother in this case) and this could lead to her wanting all the ponies to be equal. 

 

Even with all of that, I still don't think this is the case. :c

Great theory, frankly this ties up a lot of issues I know many bronies have had on SG motives. 

Issue 1: How did SG know about Twilight? Considering the amount of ponies and as far out of the way Our Town is, SG must have been working on this for a while. News of Twilight becoming a Alicorn had little to no chance of getting out there since its only been a few months in MLP time since the change happened, I mean even Manehatten ponies cared little to none about her being a princess or Alicorn, thought they are Manehatten ponies. 

Issue 2: How could SG have a talent or know a spell like this and yet Twilight has never heard nor seen such a spell?: Simply put it,this spell has yet to be made. Like Rarity and her Gem finding spell, this spell was created by SG in the future and she brought it with her. We already know she is a powerful mage but sadly like SS and even MD they simply don't have the natural gift like twilight does. 

 

Issue 3: Why create a spell like this?: MLP is a world that values individualism views over most others. With hints of utilitarianism/socialism and a few other ism that go along with the idea that society will be happiest when everyone is both a special snow flake but also work along efficiently with friends and lovers where everyone see themselves no better then anyone else. These are all very conflicting messages since as we can see, anytime anyone lets the ego out with how great they are they get a boot thrown at there heads (Trixie and RD) but yet everyone should strive to find that special something about them (CMC).

I think if SG was born as a unicorn and was around all of these powerful alicorns all of her life, she would not only want, but would expect herself to become one eventual and then rule as the new Princess or even Queen of Crystal Empire. So what would happen if she didn't? After all the work she put in, it wasn't her "destiny" or she wasn't "chosen", personally I think she would be not only heart broken, I think she would total snap. With a quick time spell, since lets be honest, Twilight will eventually fix the time spell that SStB made since only having a minute in the past is kind of dumb and BOOM shes in the past to right the wrong and stomp all over the reign of a certain purple princess she might very well have been studying under to become an Alicorn to begin with. Because if everyone is the same and isn't some special snow flake, then she won't have to feel alone in failing what she always felt her destiny should have always been. Destroying Twilight and her friends reign will allow her to prove once and for all that same is same and different is not the same, so friendship and magic can only be harmonious when everyone is one the same playing field.

personally I just find her boring.. and after the tirek villian it just feels like all that hype which as increased season to season,

 

nightmare moon, queen crysalis, dischord, king sombre, tirek, and then.. starlight glimmer..? It just seems weak.. 

 

I mean she just feels like a carbon copy of sunset shimmer
