Sunset Shimmer And Diamond Tiara?

[Harmony And Rarity 195]

Where do I start? There has to be some kind of relationship between Sunset shimmer and Diamond Tiara. And I will be listing reasons why.

 

.Similar Character design. 

 

.Similar attitude.

 

.Eye color

 

The only thing I still don't get is how come Diamond Tiara isn't a unicorn. In Hearths warming  eve. Unicorns seemed to be upper class li

like her.

Theres a big difference though, Diamond shows great leadership skills And in her first appearance she made the whole class make fun of apple bloom, not to mention in hearts and hooves day she shows that she has other friends other than SS. Nobody but Snips and Snails respects Sunset(and thats only because of hormones) and its shown as everyone voted for Twi because she is not Sunset.

Daimond Tiara is also spoiled by money, Sunset was spoiled by power (or lack of that she felt).

 

Also, there are fancy ponies that aren't unicorns like AJ's relatives in Manehatten. Theirs probably just more unicorns in Canterlot than anywhere else due to places like the School For Gifted Unicorns, The Royal Archives and other magic based institutions being based in Canterlot

[Scootalove 10,692]

Let's put it this way, Diamond Tiara is just naturally spoiled with money while Sunset Shimmer is corrupted by power. Unicorns are not always fancy ponies, there are a lot of unicorns that represent the upper, middle, and lower classes.

I guess Diamond Tiara and Sunset Shimmer do form a similar bonding with each other but what I think is that you can't really judge what ponies' personalities would be like according to their races. Take unicorns as example, they are described as upper class right? But really, not all unicorns are like that. How about these guys?

Do you think they're upper class?

[Malinter 3,064]

There parents are. They probably just hide them in Ponyville to avoid shame. Just Kidding. Rarity's parents are also unicorns that look... common I guess?? .

Well it does seem like they have similar character traits and character design. But I don't think the 2 are related in anyway.

Sunset Shimmer isn't snooty, a bully and a big meany. She just happens to be an antagonist and now she's reformed so I really don't see why they're related.

I see what you're saying. But need I remind you of the beginning of Equestria Girls. The scene with Her and Fluttershy. And just because she was reformed doesn't mean she will stay that way.

I doubt she won't stay that way and even if she doesn't I will not want to see another movie being made of her the main antagonist again or I'll probably die.

Well to begin with, their eyes are different colors. Sunset's are light green, Tiara's are blue. And I wouldn't say that their character designs are especially similar either. 

 

As for other comparisons, I don't think they really have a huge amount in common beyond their lack of compassion for others and the fact that they both terrorized a school for a while. Sunset Shimmer's motivation comes from a desire to be the best and be seen as the best, and her single minded focus on that and her neglect of other people and her own limitations resulted in her going bad, so to speak. So far as I can tell, she's a far more complex and interesting character than Tiara.

 

There are far more similar characters who don't seem to be related at all, so I don't see why Tiara and Sunset have to be.

[Zygen 6,066]

Idk, just because their similar doesn't really make me believe their related.

 

It's possible, but I doubt it.

 

Sunset is more angry from a lack of power that she felt she was given, when she felt she had more potential.

 

Diamond tiara is more of the bossy popular snobby type. She doesn't even really have any power besides the fact she bullies and makes others fearful to oppose her.

 

I suppose they do have similarities, but even then I don't believe they're related just on that, I think more evidence would be required for that type of thing.

 

I mean it wasn't said that it isn't true, but I just don't feel as there's enough evidence, and their reasons for their mean behavior are different.

[Silver Letter 1,832]

I think that Diamond Tiara's family stayed in Ponyville because they are Earth ponies and Canterlot is more Unicorn centric. 

 

I also don't see any connection between Diamond Tiara and Sunset Shimmer. Eye color is not enough.

[Flutter's lover <3 8,210]

I don't really see a connection between them either....now, if you were comparing The Great and Powerful Trixie and Sunset Shimmer...

 

I could see them being related somehow. both unicorns, both "evil" both had snips and snails as "followers"...

 

But DT and SS I just don't see it....

Diamond Tiara is not upper class. Her father is just rich, so she feels a sense of entitlement. So her being a unicorn is not surprising.

 

As for a connection between her and Sunset Shimmer, who knows? As I've pointed out before, similar colors between two ponies shouldn't be treated as anything but a coincidence, unless there are a lot of other hints to go on as well. There are only so many colors the creative team can use, there are bound to be similar color schemes being thrown up frequently.

 

I also don't think the designs of DT and SS are that similar. Their manes are quite different. At any rate, look at how varied the designs of canonically related ponies are. Rarity and Sweetie Belle have totally different designs, as do Apple Bloom and Applejack. So design similarities also don't seem to indicate relationship either. Although to balance it out, RD does get her mane design from her (apparent) father, and Rarity/Sweetie Belle have the same coat color.

 

tl;dr: I doubt a connection is being hinted at. It's coincidence.
