I've answered this question like 10 times. People really need to start checking the comments section, they may find their question already answered.

Anyway, the writers have revealed that there is no human version of Sunset. This is true for several characters no having a counterpart, both human and pony.

While part of me likes the idea of there being only one Sunset because it makes her feel more unique, not having a human version of Sunset feels like a missed opportunity. They could have done an EQG special where the girls met the human Sunset, where it ends with her going to live in Equestria. They could have then tied her into the MLP series by having her be a new regular like Maud or Sunburst more something. Episodes centering around her could be about the Mane Six helping her adapt to life in Equestria while teaching her about friendship and how to use magic. Or she could have just been a character of the day like Cheese Sandwich or Autumn Blaze; all it would have taken was a few sentences of exposition like they did with Tempest at the beginning of Season 8. Or they didn't need to do anything with her at all in the MLP series and just kept her as a background character.
