Even if she wasn’t there from the very start of G4, Sunset came quite a far ways with her own character arc; fleeing to the human world in search of power, she eventually found out that the true power was the friends she made along the way.

And she was able to build from nothing to something, which is always admirable. May she keep her happy ending for all time to come, whether canon or not.

_{(also you can technically say sunset was around early on in the g4 mlp universe’s internal timeline, since the comics showed her being celestia’s student while cadance was foalsitting li’l twilight)}
