This. I too believe that this character has potential, which is why I think it’s a shame that McCarthy jossed it about her being canonised (so far…)

To think just days ago, people were thinking SS was something like this

Which totally contrasts this comic piece.

Lily Blossom is easy to pass out. It is kind of difficult to believe a former student of Celestia isn’t going to be anything more than just a toy.

>They can’t just put down a description about her like that and then leave her out.
 
Watch out there, bro.

Ooor, she could be dead for all we care. Which is a shame because I’d really like to see this character in the canon. They can’t just put down a description about her like that and then leave her out.

This,fucking this.

@Ebalosus  
Which means she’s just going to be an older student who learned everything celestia knows and moved on and doesn’t hold any ill will to her former teacher (who she still in touch with) or “replacement”
 
like an adult

@Ebalosus  
I just love how artist initially portray her as a luchador, rather typical friendly looking mare, until the posting of the Equestria Girls version of her, which depicts her wearing a leather jacket with a smirk on her face, suggesting a “bad girl” type of character.

@Justy
 
…and then there will be butthurt all around if she is introduced and her canon personality/backstory/characterisation don’t match people’s headcanon (looking at you, fluttermac shippers)

Wait, she’s not an OC? What did I miss?

The perils of introducing a new character during hiatus.  
She gets torn asunder by fanfic writers before she even gets to utter a single word in the show.

If you read all of Celestia’s first dialogue, you’ll know she expelled her for her greed as well as nearly dooming Equestria. I guess she was power-hungry.

And then ot3.

I can dig it.

As good a headcanon as any for her, at least until (if) we get something more official.

‘Twilight, due to your recklessness and nearly destroying Equestria, I make you a princess’

So… I guess there’s a new fanon faction for “Sunset Shimmer for Equestria”?
 
How ’bout nah.

If that’s the way you want to go…
