Where is Sunset Shimmer's alternate human?


*Thundershock*

Recommended Posts

After seeing how everypony had an alternate human form, I started thinking about why we haven't seen Sunset's alternate human. After all, she was a pony too, so shouldn't her alternate exist? If alternate Sunset does exist, could she make an appearance in Equestria Girls 4?

 

Please leave your thoughts on this down below. I'd love to hear your theories and suggestions!

It would definitely make a lot of sense if there was a human equivalent of Sunset Shimmer somewhere in the Equestria Girls universe. I think that the EqG equivalent of Sunset is probably attending another school somewhere in the EqG universe, and she probably isn't that much different than how Sunset Shimmer was in the original Equestria Girls movie.

This right here has always been one of my biggest gripes with the entire concept of Equestria Girls from the first movie. Celestia is all worried about messing up the balance between these two worlds yet she send Sunset Shimmer there outright. Maybe she doesn't know about the whole doubles thing but it still doesn't make much sense on Celestia's part. Would be interesting if we saw that world's Shimmer and she was really brash and stubborn like how Shimmer was before, the real one. That gets confusing to think about.

sunbutt didn't send Sunset to the human world. Sunset found out about the alt world and went there on her own, without permision.

Huh, odd. I need to watch that part again, I thought it was le Sun Master that sent her there.

 

you can find more info in the IDW comic "the fall of Sunset Shimmer"

Sunbutt only banished her from the castle, and cut ties with their student, teacher relationship

Maybe there isn't an EQG human world Sunset Shimmer.

I mean we haven't seen human versions of Discord, Sombra, Tirek or the Dazzlings form the human world and not banished from Equestria.

Maybe not all characters have human counterparts.

Either that or human world Sunset Shimmer just isn't important enough to the story to warrant focus.

I dislike the whole EQG thing, but if I recall correctly, Celestia didn't send Sunset there.

She jumped in there on her own.

I think it would make the most sense if the alternate sunset was from another country.  Although Equestria Sunset killing her seems reasonable at first, looking at her, I don't think she ever would have killed anyone, even when she was a crazy mean girl.  At least, not until she put on the crown(but still, she only turned them into teenage zombie slaves...)

I always wondered why that was never brought up. I guess it's somewhat safe to assume that the Sunset shimmer of the MLP world will eventually have an encounter with herself from that world.

A common theory that I'm seeing is that the human world was made around Pony Sunset, hence, she doesn't have a counterpart. That does sound a bit contrived, considering people thought that Twilight just was shut out of the picture when she entered the mirror portal, but, thanks to Friendship Games, that is now untrue. 

Personally, I think that she goes to a different school in the city,or is a few years older than Twilight and Sunset and is too focused on College or her job to be interested in the copy of herself that's showing up.

Okay So EQG3 confirms that human and pony/human can coexist; with this in mind it's pretty obvious Sunset has a human counterpart and one of two things has happened here


 


1. Human Sunset doesn't live in the area where they are from(dunno what the name of their town or city is)


2. In her 4 years being in the human world she might have run into her human self and found a way to get her out of town by way of lying


 


Both of these are highly possible but given that we've already done the whole "She exists here but goes to another school" thing with Twilight; so unless Human Sunset is just from another town in general that is possible because if we follow Equestria logic Sunset Shimmer we would assume was from Canterlot right? Because the "crystal empire" was a prep school in this universe so it stands to reason that Canterlot is either some kind of college or another city entirely.


 


the other theory is that pony Sunset met her sometime into arriving in the human world and using her knowledge of magic and legends as well as being a rather "okay" lair its possible she could have tricked her other self into leaving town possibly by using a disguise because in the chapter books thats how she got into interactions with the mane 5(at that time there was no twilight) and found out how to turn them against each other and rule the school. So she could have adopted the same persona, tricked her human self into leaving someplace far far away so she could operate as the only Sunset Shimmer in the area without needing to worry about a doppelganger floating around.


 


Hopefully they'll expand on this in EQG4, hooves crossed


I have many other Sunset and EQG related theories if you want to hear them just follow me I guess lol and as always

To be honest, I'd prefer if they left the door open for this one. I have some headcanon for Sunset Shimmer's human counterpart... and if I'm honest, I've gotten quite attached to it.

 

 

Actually, thinking about it... I reckon they could do some amazing stuff with Sunset Shimmers counterpart. It could be a more literal version of what happened in Amending Fences with Twilight and Moondancer. Who knows, perhaps the show already has something planned for Sunset's human counterpart down the line... :sunbutt:
