Talk:Sunset Shimmer/@comment-10390252-20141220220031

IMO, Sunset Shimmer was originally written to be the 'anti-Twilight' - most of the same skills and abiliites but with contempt for the idea of friendship and selfish ambition as her main motivation.

This is why I really want for her human counterpart to have sneaked through the portal at the same time Sunset was going the other way. Because the ponies and EqGs have basically similar personalities, it would meant that the show writers could still use Sunset as Twilight's arch-foe (equal in power and knowledge but opposite in alignment) in Equestria.

I suspect that her main motivation would be to obtain a pony army that she'd lead back through the portal to conquer the human world. When Twilight is talking to her friend Sunset about how this madpony's mind might be working and how best to anticipate and defeat her, human!Rainbow would, of course, make a dig about that plan sounding 'spookily familiar'.
