Oh sure, Twilight would be curious about the alicorn stuff, perhaps enough to find the same forbidden book Sunset found that revealed the truth about the process and the mirror but...
<-<.......>-_>.....
...that storyline might veer less into AU Twilight rushing into becoming an Alicorn, and more about the secret behind the method themselves shocking her to her core and making her wonder if this should be known to everyone.
You know what I'm talking about.
Even disregarding the Sunset prequel comic, remember the 30 seconds in EG1 where Sunset asks Twilight if Twilight was informed of the secret connection between Celestia, the mirror and the elements, and the power the process bequeath?
The scene that hinted that Celestia was keeping a secret she would never give Twilight....that Sunset was chasing after the same process Celestia had that made her both an Alicorn and made her and Luna worthy of the elements....
Y'know, the one that hinted that Celestia and Luna may have Pevensei'd themselves into Equestria and thats why they are alicorns.
Heh, that one line villain Sunset gave Twilight, and Celestia and Luna's entire backstory, was NEVER touched upon in real canon material, just supplemental stuff that avoided many details intentionally.
.....
Back on track the the AU stuff, the only scenario I can see where AU Twilight would become a nightmare would be 1) the implications of the secret Twilight discovered were so great, perhaps partially shattering her image of Celestia, that exploring the mirror and its connection to Celestia superceded everything, and 2) If events happened similar to EG1 and EG3 but they occur at the same time, AU Pony Twilight is a mostly neutral recluse that has been using her high school years to obsessively study magitech and dimensional travel in the human world, and things spiral put of control when Twilight meets the Sunset and the newly recruited Humane 5.
