Just as friendship can save Equestria, turning your back on your friends can have serious consequences for the world as well. Similar things happened with Stygian and Starlight, though we're not clear why Sunburst was no longer in contact with Starlight, and Stygian was a misunderstanding. Maybe Luna counts too, depending on how severely she was ignored (all we really got was ponies sleeping during the night). Even Twilight went insane and caused chaos when her friends were unwilling to help her, and Pinkie got creepy when she thought they didn't like her anymore.

Perhaps there's a message here: Don't turn your back on your friends. It probably would be as world-threatening in real life, but still not a good thing to do.

Two more points:

1. What is her cutie mark? The closest we saw is the Storm King symbol on her armor, which of course isn't her real cutie mark. (I can imagine it being fireworks or something)

2. I see she's a lot better received than Starlight.
