Sooo- What would "Discorded" Starlight glimmer be like?

After watching S8 E13 "The Mean 6" and noticing Chrysalis excluding Starlight from her little science experiment, It made me think about something interesting... What would a Discorded Starlight be like?

I've always thought Starlight was a very interesting character to add to MLP. Ever since the Cutie Map episodes I thought it was funny that a character like her would even be in a show like MLP. She's definitely got a mix of issues going on.

To me, she seems to be a sociopath to a degree with a bit of narcissism also. She sometimes does questionable things to accomplish/get something she wants without thinking through how it will affect others. Sociopaths can have a conscience but it usually is weaker than a normal person. They tend to put themselves and/or their needs above others. The narcissism seems to be a big part of her problems. What she says when she is exposed in The Cutie Map says a lot about this. It highlights her inflated view of her magic abilities and how she thinks lesser of the "townspeople."

 

 

Discorded Starlight would be probably be like Fluttershy,in a way, but less shy. She would be anxious and always overly concerned with how whatever she does would affect others or how it would make others feel. I also think she would be somewhat like an overprotective parent in a way, being worried to the point of being annoying.

 

So what do you guys think?

 

EDIT: I wasn't thinking a lot in my original response. :muffins: I was thinking more along the lines of "Old Starlight" from the village. She currently has made big changes, but still occasionally lapses again with her plans, like thinking mind control is a good idea, or leading dangerous creatures back to where they were led away from. Seeing how she is currently, she would probably seem depressed, lethargic, and disinterested if discorded now.

Rainbow Rocks... at least how it could've looked... in a stranger, more interesting dimension :lol:

For those who are wondering, Twilight is chewing bubble gum.

At least Starlight and Discord did help save Equestria with Trixie and Thorax, so she's at least familiar with how Discord acts. So, Discord won't give Starlight too much trouble.

They did earn Equestria's Pink Hearts of Courage.

Well, Discord locked the mane 6 into their greatest weaknesses. So, if a Discorded Twilight loses all hope and a Discorded Rarity focuses too much on materialism, I would think a Discorded Starlight is someone who would just give up on everything and just not care about anything, and be somewhat hateful about it. Maybe something like "NO! I will not try this! It is pointless, it means nothings, so BACK OFF!"

I think she'll become demotivated and such, a bit like @PathfinderCS said. I think she doesn't want to learn anymore and gives up everything. :dash:

If I don't understand something or Interpret it wrong, I'm dutch. Sometimes I gamble for meanings of the words. And sometimes I write the wrong words, like week and weak for example. Sorry for it already. :smug:

Discord, Twilight, Sunset, Fluttershy, Starlight, Rarity, Luna, Celestia, Big MCintosh, Cadence, Shining, Minuette, Lyra, Rara, Sweetie Belle, Cheerilee, Derpy, Spike.

All rise, the almighty @Goat-kun has spoken- Alleluia.

I think discorded Starlight would be very anti-social (like pretty much all the other discorded mane 6) but I also think she will lose her one greatest ability- her magic. She is really magically powerful, possibly just right under Twilight, and I think if she were discorded she would loose that ability, and I think that she wouldn't care or want that ability back because discorded ponies pretty much turn into the opposite of themselves. I think she would become very narcissistic and refuse to lend out a helping hoof as she has started to do since she was reformed, basically she would probably refuse to do anything or learn anything new because that's the opposite of what she is now, right now she always wants to learn something new and improve herself, discorded Starlight probably wouldn't. :sealed:

Seemingly polite and morally upright facade concealing extreme selfishness. More or less the inverse of her current personality.

I'm more interested in Discorded Spike! 

Rebellious and unhelpful, maybe?

Exactly! If that happened in a season premiere or a finale because he was brainwashed by the villain, it would be pretty interesting!

Starlight Glimmer's stand out trait to me is cleverness. So the opposite I'm looking at is ineptness, stupid, senseless, and foolish. Her anger could also play a part in it.

While this isn't exactly answering your question, I've come to realize Chrysalis herself acted as the "Discorded" version of Starlight in that episode, playing off on the fact she was a foil to Starlight in To Where And Back Again. It's not as direct as of a parallel as the actual Mean Six, but there is some similarities. While Starlight Glimmer has strong leadership skills but is reluctant to use them, Chrysalis is just a terrible leader.
