Talk:Sunset Shimmer/@comment-26973802-20131017010810

Another thing on the subject of her redemption: Celestia hinted that Sunset Shimmer wasn't always evil, but turned evil out of impatience (she said Sunset turned cruel and dishonest when she didn't get what she wanted as quickly as she hoped). So maybe what the Elements did was restore her to what she was like before turning cruel and dishonest, before all that cruelty accumulated in her heart (which I think was drawn out by the crown and manifested into her demon form). And naturally, her realizing how evil her demon form was would likely prevent her from ever wanting to turn evil again, showing her how wrong she was to do so the first time.
