Credence Barebone is a perfect example of what I said earlier.

If Starlight wasn't taken in as Twilight's student...if she became the student of someone like Chrysalis or the Dazzlings or even Spoiled rich...then Starlight would have turned out just like Credence Barebone.

People underestetimate the importance of Twilight's role in Starlight's life. Twilight is teaching Starlight to use her powers for good, to control her powers, to be a true heroine.

Starlight is a great character because she's flawed and fallibele, but still decides to do the right thing and to help Ponies in need.

And that's because of Twilight's teachings and advice.
